It's funny because it's the continuation of the superior other in-joke and we know she is Chinese in descent.

yes but why is that funny

is it just the pictures of the otters that make it funny

You guys probably can't understand why it's funny because you've never had girlfriends.

Because as far as we know, Req doesn't know Chinese and the Req-otter(oh god, somebody draw and otter in a rocketter outfit, please.) just looks completely confounded by it.

War3-->dota-->every moba
//I see your point here, but I think Blizzard just gave the tools to the modders to influence every moba that came after Warcraft 3. I don't think it was Blizzard who did the work here, but the modders.

//I think there were very successful MMO's before WoW. Namely, Runescape. Sure WoW implemented some changes which would inspire MMO's to come, but I don't think they revolutionized the genre.
Diablo still standard format for ARPGS like PoE is now

Hearthstone? TCG that you can properly play online since card game format sort of outdated
//I see where you're coming from, but I'm not entirely sure about this one. I feel like all they really did was make trading card games more accessible.

holy shit
the only thing they didnt revolutionize for PC gaming was Shooters since fighters dont exist in pc games really

they definitely didnt invent any of the genres but they sure did revolutionize them

Well first of all we can have different perspectives of what "a sudden, complete or marked change in something" entails. It might just be the case that I think that a "revolution" in gaming pertains to something "bigger" for lack of a better term.

you kind of contradicted yourself here. The modders did the work in war3 but meanwhile dune 2 is revolutionary?
we know dune 2 was a shit game, but it paved the way for BW so either you give blizzard credit for BW or you don't give the dota 2 modders credit

obviously dota was created by modders but facilitated by battle.net and the blizzard map moding which was unreal

I see your point. Basically what I said is that "Oh Blizzard didn't create MOBAs they only gave the community the tools to do so", but then I go around and say "Oh Dune 2 was revolutionary" when you are saying that basically the same thing happened.

I think what I wanted to get across was that when Dune 2 came out, it was essentially the first RTS. You have a team of people who created a game, which was the first RTS. Yes they paved the way for others, and in a sense they only gave others the tools to do so, while they didn't contribute anything themselves. However, I believe that they did contribute something to the RTS - namely, they created the first one!

Where for Warcraft 3, Warcraft 3 was not a MOBA. Instead, people outside of the Warcraft 3 production team used their map editor to create the first MOBA. Granted, it wouldn't have been possible to for them to do so if Blizzard never made the map editor. In a way, Blizzard did help create the first MOBA. However, I maintain that they only gave the tools - the community created the first MOBA. Dune 2 didn't just give the tools - I also think that they created the first RTS. And at the time no one had seen anything like it! But compared to today's standards, yeah Dune 2 didn't age well!

I don't know if my distinction makes sense, or even if I made my point clear. And I concede that my point is possibly contradictory, as I don't know if that distinction that I attempted to make is even significant enough. Hope I cleared up the point that I was trying to make though.

zz probably RTS games were going to happen soon anyway with tech improving I don't think just making the first game in a genre is anywhere close to making a great game in a genre

At the time though when Dune 2 was released it was the only game in the genre and therefore the best (and worst!) game in the genre. Also I did some looking, and apparently people loved Dune 2 at the time. So I don't think it would be unreasonable to assume that at the time Dune 2 was a great game. Reviewing Dune 2 by today's standards is meaningless. I don't think it matters what we think of the game, I think it matters what people in 1992 thought of the game. Of course you could argue that Brood War is still loved today, but then I think you and I are having a different conversation.

@Galt: You'd have to do a lot more than that to offend me!

Do you think it is in my ability to offend you, Frudgey? I wonder...

I mean, I think the otters are a cute picture. Funny? No.

I'm not exactly perplexed, I laugh at tons of shit nobody else finds funny, so I'm guessing this is some of your non funny stuff you laugh at.

For me, the amusement comes from the extravagant lengths MoonBear will go to make lomo posts. The content itself was whatever.

We had this discussion already, remember?

Also I think EU in the end may just mean eastern EU.
