But I enjoy the activity on snowboard much more, it is just really relaxing and it's such a great way of movement. It's really hard to explain, but it just feels so natural to move down a hill on snowboard, it's like this is the way humans were somehow meant to move. Also it's much easier to deal with bad conditions or slopes that are too hard, because there are easy tricks that allow you to navigate virtually any kind of slope on a board (even though without very much fun, but without getting hurt). An added benefit is, that snowboard is so much easier to take off-piste than ski - usually the most optimal ski for a groomed slope are not very good for deep powder and the whole set of skills is very different, whereas a snowboard is a snowboard. Sadly, it's not a very easy thing to do - surely, you can find a nice small shortcut here and there and it's fun, but for the best off-piste experience, you need actual powder, which is rather rare unless you are willing to chase it accross Europe, and you need to have someone to show you what to do, because once you leave the immediate vicinity of official slopes it gets really dangerous pretty fast and it's very hard to self-teach. I had one such friend and I enjoyed a couple of great powder days two years ago with him but the dickhead moved very far away and thus my freeriding career went to a halt. I would now dare to try some easier things without him, but I don't have any other friend into it and riding off-piste alone is not very wise. Well personally i am not someone who needs to live on the edge as much as possible so off-piste activities aren't really my biggest priority tbh :D But yeah the movement of snowboardign just looks more enjoyable, as you said " it's like this is the way humans were somehow meant to move". I don't really have the ability to learn it in the near future but i will certainly try it sometimes. With that being said, i like skiing a lot as well, the speed going down a hill is just awesome :D Great to hear that you could have some fun today after that boring one with group c haha ^^ | ||

Especially because 2gd is smart enough to include every feature people these days could want (skins, a good tournament feature, matchmaking, great personality of the things you play (eggbots), etc) | ||

Exactly. You can enjoy playing CSGO, but it is not interesting to watch. While SC2 is amazing to watch, even if you don't play it. Was literally writing out the exact same post. | ||

Which is really good for 2017 SC2 to be honest. Will probably be second best behind blizzcon again. | ||

CSGO's round based system alone makes it really easy to understand, every new round (in theory) a new chance to win it. Players get removed when they die till the end of the round which creates a lot of tense 1vs2, 1vs1, etc situations. Also while the first person pov in general is incredibly bad for spectating, csgo is just slow enough where it doesn't affect the game negatively, it even gives us easy to see skill checks because we see exactly what the players do (i still argue that first person pov is underused in sc2, would make games more hype 100% if used well). So yeah you don't have to like csgo by any means, but it does so many things well that it's ignorant to say it's a bad spectator experience.

It's even weirder because my first game was Unreal Tournament. I think it's nostalgia though for the most part. While I still enjoy gaming things will never live up to the old days. | ||
