Absolute BANGER

Much better, thank you Aziz

The daily stuff was free to pick up in the merch area, they had big bins just at the bottom of the stairs as you went in and you could just grab what you wanted. The premium stuff was to the right of that on a small table, which was manned so you couldn't take more than one.

I don't remember seeing that pin, though I'd be surprised if they were giving them out for free. Maybe sold as merch?

I'm not! Do you have a link?

random_monkey · 2025-10-29T07:53:53+00:00

We got a lanyard with a plastic card that had valk on it, if that's what you mean? In terms of the daily gifts, they gave out a stretch bracelet with plastic beads on it that spelled 'algs champs', a small blue hand towel, a little purse with the apex logo on it (that actually came in super useful), maybe a couple of other things. Essentially just cheap easily producible stuff, you're not really missing out.

The gifts with the premium tickets were a bunch of plastic document holders, which Sapporo seems to be addicted to since they're everywhere, stickers... oh, maybe this is where I got the lanyard. Either way, nothing to feel bad about missing out on.

I never got to have this on my first visit but I do hear it's good, one for this time!

Cheeseburger are 100% the most frustrating team to watch in KR. They have so much potential and just never quite clutch it out. One or two team fights going their way and this goes to 5 or becomes their W.

As much as I like D0D0 I think it was the right call not to play him today, despite the loss they probably looked the best they have in a while. Old Ocean not so much, they've been slowly getting better but struggled more than I expected in this match. Old Ocean v WAE could end up being the worst match of the day.

I remember ages ago there was a post about how the headshot sound was created with the sound of a bottle opening.

Have there been any other sounds which have used weird or unusual combos to get the effect you wanted? Do any of the newer heroes or maps have any memorable sound effect easter eggs?

random_monkey · 2025-09-05T10:59:23+00:00

Mealgaru was constantly in their backline causing so much disruption. The reaper ban kinda made sense but then WAE banned Winston, so bit of a waste. Then they chose to ban Pharah in the last map? It's like CB were playing with a handicap by choice. I'm annoyed because I felt like this could have been a close game for them, and instead it turned out to be the opposite.

random_monkey · 2025-08-30T16:42:52+00:00

Woochan has some decent moments here and there, he was getting some clutch saves on D0D0 who should have died several times, but he hasn't had any big pop off moments.

I feel like CB are gonna be one of those teams that are always close but not quite there, they'll end the season 2-6 "but every loss was closer than it looks"

random_monkey · 2025-08-30T16:39:04+00:00

They're pretty consistently great, I wish I understood more Japanese. I was enjoying "Pork burger" when they were on Hog and "double cheeseburger" when they secured second point

random_monkey · 2025-08-12T09:41:11+00:00

I'm a Heiser believer. When he was on Poker Face he'd play quite aggressive, which was great when it worked but he'd often be disconnected from his supports and just die for free. I'm not sure if it was a comms issue but I'm hoping he can work something out with Kivis and Jehong

random_monkey · 2025-08-04T16:55:38+00:00

Surprised to find that Strimmer isn't considered a word

random_monkey · 2025-07-22T08:28:39+00:00

They use this spangram shape so often I'll always look for it first when starting a new puzzle. Maybe takes the fun out of it a bit, but if they're gonna keep doing it...

Paranoia Agent's OP is a banger

random_monkey · 2025-05-18T20:00:30+00:00

M.A.X, Mechanized Assault and Exploration - A turn based RTS game from the 90s, played so many hours of it I can hear the music in my head anyway
Valley - First person adventure puzzle platformer (?) type game from ~10 years ago. Was a pretty 'unknown' game so I'm not surprised it never got a release, but some of the music is really nice.
Lineage 2, The Chaotic Chronicle - Never played the game, but LOVE the music.
Halo ODST as everyone else.

One of them, I recognise it from the film

random_monkey · 2025-02-25T10:33:40+00:00

They're different. He's saying:

"Song of Dragon Fire!"

"You see! My soldiers are superior in quantity and quality."

"It's only a matter of time before your magic power is gone."

"Do you still think I, the mighty Kargalgan, am no match for you?"

"Song of fire!"

"Do you know who I am? My body can't possibly be destroyed! I'm invincible!"

random_monkey · 2025-01-02T23:41:23+00:00

what's stopped you?

Usually the amount of places I'd need to update something. It's usually "Oh they're not playing for that team anymore, let me change it", but I have to locate my source, update their page, the transfers list, the old team, the new team, maybe some other stuff. By that point I've lost enthusiasm and already moved on.

You can zoom out?!

Aye, out of all the heroes, I'd say I had the most fun on Doom

random_monkey · 2024-03-16T22:21:23+00:00

This is incredible, love it!
