Cheep's drama news article on Tabe is about to surpass Fionn's "Boxing with God" article in terms of views...

What's wrong with esports

Do you have stats on what the highest active users number is? Is it from when LL first launched?

To be fair, it is a well written article.

Nice to see Cheep putting out some content for LL :3

Yea I'm not knocking the article or what cheep did in any way, I want to make that clear. I'm just saying, that Faker article is easily one of the best league articles ever produced and I think it's funny that it's going to be surpassed by drama.

@Ketchup R1CH has those stats and has shown me in the past for TL/LD, but not LL. Highest active count on LiquidDota was a bit over 8k at once, I'd assume the highest is close to the same for LL?

I was just asking since cheep's article got the active user count up to 4k when I looked at it. Despite that, the thread itself doesn't have anywhere near the participation level I assumed. It's kinda weird, but most of the commentary is basically kept on the LoL reddit thread instead. I thought it would generate a few new accounts that would post there, but I only saw one new account that actually commentated in the LL thread

LL doesn't have EE-Sama drama though, so there's that

I'm not surprised that it's not generating comments.

It's a neat article but its not much to comment on. Stuff like that where the comments are significantly less important than the OP reddits format is really just as good or better.

Just tried mighty no. 9 for the first time.
Short of it is the game is pretty good for those who will like it. The dash mechanic is fun for the most part. Great for speed running. Not a huge fan of the 'collect' aspect but whatever. Also the animu/voice acting isn't my fave either but I respect that that's where megaman sort of has its roots. It really starts to grate on nerves though after a while

Hitboxes aren't amazingly clear for a 2.5D game which is a pretty big detriment... It's a look over function kind of thing which doesn't feel great.

Dunno probably could say more things but I can't think of them now.

Is it bad my first and only Megaman game was Marvel vs. Capcom ? And the GBA Battlenet series? Lol

I just wanna talk about NFL and pre-season Basketball, but here I am stuck in a groupchat with white people talking about Fantasy Hockey league.....

Is anyone gonna play Warhammer End Times Vermintide? When does the early access start, this friday? Was supposed to be atleast 1 week before launch iirc?

It looks pretty interesting. I never got into WHFB as much as 40k, but it's basically Left 4 Dead with Swords, so you can't really go wrong.

Hey Req, what's a good place to see a list of what each army has for units (prefs with pictures)?

I think megaman Legends was woefully underappreciated, in terms of megaman games.

That shit was super fun.

Well the main Games Workshop site is nice if you just want a look at the models. Are you looking for like playstyles and stuff too? Because that's a bit more complicated.

Moreso the models and stuff, since I'm not hopping into the hobby or anything, just looking at it and thinking "maybe later".

edit: er, "age of sigmar" is fantasy, yeah?

Yeah, they changed... a lot of it. Models are nice, can't speak to the rules.

I used to play a ton of WH fantasy when I was a kid. Won tournaments and painting competitions with a wood elf army. It was fun, but I stopped when I was I dunno maybe like 16?

Good times. I miss tabletop. I miss D&D too, I have no idea why I don't play iris or whatever with Asmo. I'd probably love it.

In other news, its my last day in Myanmar. Flying to Singapore in 18 hours!

I'm not into the WH fantasy universe either (40k rules!), but I'm always looking for great coop games to play with friends. Everyone seems pretty hyped for that game, I got to play a few hours in the last beta, its nice. But the appeal always lies in playing with other people
