Elden Ring can be an extremely daunting game to get into for “normie” and/or casual gamers. Sure, other than maybe Demon’s Souls, it is the easiest FromSoftware souls game to get into. But let’s not pretend that it’s easy to get into these kinds of games. It wasn’t for me at first either. Their approach to game design is very different from most mainstream games.

He’d definitely like Red Dead if he’s a fan of GTA, though 2 has a really slow start and can feel very awkward to play sometimes. That being said, it has one of the best stories in video game history. It’s nothing like the games he’s considering playing though.

Black Sails
Arcane (S2 is coming out very soon)
Mindhunter
Bojack Horseman
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Wukong is fine, but Elden Ring is way better. Though I wouldn’t recommended either game if you haven’t played anything other than an FPS or GTA. Souls/souls-likes are not exactly easy games to get into, especially Elden Ring. Trust me, it took me like 4 separate times to finally understand what Elden Ring was going for. I would highly recommended something that nudges you into that kind of genre better like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor. They have difficulty options unlike the other 2 games and have great stories.

Black Sails, it’s on Netflix

Can’t go wrong with Rome either

G2 Jawgemo video is the best so far

I wouldn’t be surprised if Aspas is such a massive weeb, to the point of learning Japanese

All Bleed players are free agents according to VCTScanner

I know Aspas is a giga weeb but would he really consider this?

EMEA is already importing 4 players, they don’t need more. Aspas probably still wants to play in Asia anyway.

Get back in the washing machine

“Powerscaling YouTuber” wtf?

They have T2 IGLs to pick at in their region but they don’t have faith in them for some reason

What is blud doing? 😭

Poems do not have to rhyme. Pretty sure this is a Haiku

Sayf + Less = negative vibes. Team will implode within

The only good studio that Ubisoft owns is Ubisoft Montpellier (Rayman team and that recent Prince of Persia metroidvania). Literally every other studio they own pumps out pure slop.

Whiplash and Mulholland Drive

Really? Where did these rumors start?

Brother he’s either going to NRG or SEN

So on R0cketBullets’ spreadsheet, he has KC potentially eyeing another NA import. Now I know we should take his spreadsheets with a massive grain of salt, but it would not surprise me if they did go this route again since it worked out well last time, as well as the fact that they are likely losing N4RRATE.

So my proposal is KC Skuba. Why? Well he’s another NA T2 talent and they just got rid of Sh1n, who was their main controller player. This is a long shot take, but I could it see it actually happening.

All Ascension leagues are on LAN

Yeah, the 1st round draw is ass cheeks, but we’re almost guaranteed banging 2nd round matches across the board

The only interesting match up of the draw 😭

Uh there’s only 2 Chinese teams?

Wait until the fucking series is over man. LOOK UP THE DEFINITION OF BEST OF 3. People give up too quickly nowadays

G2 just, stylistically and map pool wise, matches up against PRX really well

Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure his comment was meant to be ironic

Bean paste

Tbf, SEN has double the amount of trophies than an entire region

First step complete. Second step will be to catch up now

Huge congratulations to the Pacific region for your first international trophy. Also, GenG winning 2 massive tournaments in China in the past month is fucking hilarious

I’m glad you chose this. One of the best interviews in all of Valorant as an esport

That Ascent man. Probably one of the greatest comebacks I’ve ever seen

Reminds me of 2018 Team Liquid in CSGO

G2 get smoked by PRX, but I think they make a decent run in lowers

Boostio can have some stinkers too. That’s just the nature of being an IGL.

Top tier hotdogs are good, but even then, I’d still get more satisfaction out of even a lower quality pizza

You gotta be a fucking sicko to go with hotdog over pizza

Stinky

Stinky winky

At least GE and FURIA win maps unlike DFM lol

Send her a present (nuke her house)

Very bold to have your alias be SerialKiller

Those 7 points don’t mean anything for Shanghai. They’re only useful for Champions. Top 3 in playoffs is necessary

I’m honestly fine with the rebrand. Too many simple black and white logos. It’s not as good as the OG pink NRG logo, but it’s definitely an upgrade from the last one

Great movie

Well you’d be correct in that assessment since I’ve never played XCOM 2. I’ve heard good things about it though. Another big one that I gotta play is Monster Hunter Worlds since everyone and their mother loves that game plus the Iceborne expansion.

The definitive top 3:

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters
Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
Witcher 3: Blood and Wine

Honorable mentions:

Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City
Dark Souls 1: Artorius of the Abyss
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla
Outer Wilds: Echos of the Eye
Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island
All of the Mass Effect 2 expansions
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree (it’s not out yet, but you know that shit is gonna peak)
