Easy Update - Official Discussion Thread

@brannox Picking a game that you think will delay as a counterpick is strategically sound but so dang boring. I feel like the whole point of counterpicks is to throw some shade at a game you're not digging.
-
@sabotagethetruth Hey, it only works when people pick bad games. I pretty much liked all the games picked in our league.
-
@inustar Did you now? I think there's a certain one you're forgetting about again.
-
@sabotagethetruth Hey I like that game... I just think it's likely to not score very high.
-
@inustar I think we need to check the tape on that one.
-
@sabotagethetruth Check away. 😊
-
@sabotagethetruth Well, boring as it might be, safe picks have better odds for victory. Being flashy or exciting do not equate desired results.
-
@brannox Just an example, Kyle told Don to eat his butt while selecting his counterpick. That level of animosity is what makes these things interesting! Plus, I wouldn't consider counterpicking games like Metroid safe honestly. There's no date on them and if they come out, they destroy your entire season. While I agree that Cyberpunk is more than likely a ways off, if it surprises us, that's just doom right there. I'm just thankful we only had to deal with one counter.
@Inustar .... okay, you're clean.
-
I want to know what game we're talking about fictitiously hating on
-
@tokyoslim I thought Inustar was dishing out some hate to Metal Wolf Chaos. I can't find any proof of that though so either the tapes have been altered or I'm a sham.
-
I always suspected that you were an ornamental covering for a pillow.
-
@tokyoslim When I'm feeling excited, I'm more of a sham-wow!
Alrighty, I'll see myself out of this conversation.
-
@sabotagethetruth Counter to your example: Kyle always likes to play up to the camera and as such, how he conducts his picks (not necessarily the picks themselves) drives the entertainment value (which is that exact moment I had any issue with, but that's an entirely separate conversation).
And honestly, I would much, MUCH rather have a counter-pick that would destroy my roster than not, because what's more important are the games themselves, but with that being said, going for the better bet is just the logical choice for the goal of these kinds of things.
-
@sabotagethetruth How could anyone actually hate a game about the president fighting in a mech?
-
@inustar Depends on the President piloting the mech, I'd say!
-
I want to post this exact same comment in the Top 10 thread, but since it's technically an Easy Update:
The last three entries had me laughing more than anything else from EZA recently. The f-bomb, the writing throughout, and the adulation in the final entry. This is top tier stuff.
-
Yeah, this is top tier material right here. Ian went all in with his writing and editing: the honesty and realization of it, and those clips. Couldn't stop smiling while at the same time I felt like I was being taught something important. :)

New episode might be a new low point, at least in my point of view. Cannot be further away from love and respect… Might have worked with a bit more effort and context, but found it just frustrating to watch.
-
Loved the punchline, it had me in giggles, I thought the main body of the video was a bit meh.
-
This latest Update about Observation.... That's a fantastic way to sell me on a game. Wow.
