  9. My experience in Season 6 of Overwatch

    – People throwing the game
    – People leaving after losing the first point
    – Terrible team comps
    – People in voice chat ignoring the others
    – Being called toxic for pointing out that you don’t need 4 offense heros on defense
    – triple tank offense

    Great

    • some errors
      Toxapex isn’t pecks its apex as in top of the food chain
      Shiinotic not from narcotic but hypnotic
      Type: Null, the lack of the data wasn’t the reason for the name but as a given name for a failed Type: Full beast killer which was its original goal
      Solgaleo there is common assosiaion towards Galileo

  18. Haven’t been able to come on lately, super busy with university starting again 🙁 I’ve had about a week off school b/c of Irma, so I had a lot of time to get a map done! This is Elos Ruins, south of Elos Village, where you meet the 5th protagonist! The perspective is a little weird, but I did the best I could.

  21. Earthen bored, i feel like creating a fakemon, but i’m so running out of good ideas
    the last one that got positive reviews was Sylkommand Bug/Psychic Puppeteer

    I kinda feel like ravenous consuming flytrap but done to death, or something ghostly

  23. Well I’m pissed I can’t Buy the Steelbook because A. I forgot I’m not charged until november and waited this long and it’s sold out. and B. I know Amazon Canada has Stock But I can’t Buy from their because Video games Can’t Be Shipped internationally and C. It’s Amazon Exclusive and D. IF IT DON’T GET IT I NEED TO GET RID OF THE SM STEELBOOK I ALREADY HAVE OR ELSE IT WILL PASSIVELY DRIVE ME INSANE.

    • to Explain, My Birthday is the 10th, and I got some cash out of it. this prompted me to try and buy it since I now had enough to purchase it. I have also Tried Amazon Japan Because I heard they do International Shipping of Games now. no dice. Looking like the Best option is to buy the seperate versions and see if someone sells just the Case on Ebay or something.

      • placed the order because I could always cancel it if the steelbook somehow comes magically back in stock before they ship it. PANIC ATTACK OVER. thank you for reading this late night while nobody’s around freak-out.

    • Well the cover was posted on Amazon, but nothing really. Honestly I think if we’re gonna get anything the real show will be from a trailer not the magazine

      • Corocoro has exclusively revealed info before during xy days, which would be followed by an official trailer… But the trend faded with S/M and disappeared with USUM… Honestly I don’t even know wth their marketing strategy is now
