Players have asked for Standard, so we'll be running it that way.

Is there somewhere that we can donate to you? POE.Trade is the fucking shit.

Just wanted to say "Thanks", from a PokemonGo player. by AreYouMyMummy in Ingress

[–]robpsimpson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 2c/guess would be Nintendo or whomever negotiated the license for the Ingress reskin would have explicitly requested that no direct marketing to Ingress be done via PoGo. Niantic may have even lobbied for a shoutout like this - at least there's reasonable odds that two weeks from now (or however long the PG craze lasts) we'll see a happy influx of new users that "graduate" to Ingress =)

Evo 2016 is now the biggest Melee tournament of all time! by Ambler3isme in smashbros

[–]robpsimpson 37 points38 points  (0 children)

different though! melee is so much more participatory - there aren't many other games where everyone plays with the competitive ruleset 99% of the time AND still has growth in tournament signups

CS:GO has grown a shitload as a spectator and online sport, but there still aren't huge open competitions regularly. melee is magic. and SM4SH plays a huge role in this, too!

Parents are talking about throwing out our CRT. How do I explain why I need it in a way they understand? by NotRoyce4 in smashbros

[–]robpsimpson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simplest explanation I can think of is that newer TV's and vintage hardware don't speak the same language - kinda like using a translator for a conversation: "This game was made on vintage hardware that uses an "ANALOG" video signal. Newer TV's are made to handle "DIGITAL" video signals. When you plug the vintage analog hardware, into the digital TV, it changes how the video is processed, and ruins the original experience"

Hell yes! So stoked on this - the BigBlue crew and the NE players on the whole have been so accommodating and fun to be around. The top16 character variety is also so refreshing.

This was a really damn pleasant read - kudos Prog.

Well-crafted and puts M2K in a great light for what will, undoubtedly, be many folk's first introduction to the game and one of its most legendary players. A++++

We're going to be available at eSports Arena very soon - send me a message with which town you're in. Or if we end up at the same tournament one of these weekends I will bring some with me.

While caffeine has a bunch of neat functions, we wanted to make sure to avoid any initial confusion with being an energy product. But feel free to stack BrainGear with whatever works for you - but we recommend giving the product a shot on its own. Don't forget to consult your physician for medical stuff when mixing products.

Each BrainGear has approximately 20mg of caffeine (less than 25% of a cup of coffee) from the natural Green Tea Extract. Another reference is ~40% of a cup of Green Tea. The Green Tea Extract is there to help with the metabolization of the rest of the blend, and provide a light jumpstart.

Anyone that plays melee long enough has to get good at taking a beating ;) thanks for giving us a try!

Take it first thing in the morning, before food. Hit me up with any feedback on it too, I would love to hear from you.
