A little story about my journey through the 10 placement matches of competitive play: First match, no expectations. It was awesome. A close fight, both teams with a good hero composition and great adaptations. We won in the end.

Is there a way to embed gfycat gifs? Dropping the beat Yeah, I got stunned by a McCree and was surprised that I lived through his onslaught of bullets 3+ Torbjörn teams are still ruining some matches @Rummy don't worry you'll probably see a lot more Torbjörns. I still play him regularly, though, but I refrain from just being that "Turret guy".

Just watched the Tropical Freeze race live. Not a very close finish but still a really enjoyable run. If I manage to stay awake I'll watch the Link's Awakening DX speedrun tomorrow night.

And the hunt begins

If France leaves as many openings as they did tonight on Thursday we might have a good chance to shoot them out of the stadium. Will be an interesting match. Hopefully it will be the best of the Euro so far.

Patch is out on PS4. I'll most likely avoid competitive play until the Torbjörn nerf gets released. Edit: LOL of course I played a competitive match...Quite satisfied with my overall performance. Here are a couple of highlights. By the way: My ultimate's ready. Edit: Sorry @Sheikah, you sent that invitation out just after I decided to stop playing. Played my second competitive match a couple of hours ago. Against 3 Torbjörns...we lost, of course. Think I'll just quickly finish up the remaining 8 placement matches to get the spray and player icon and then I'm done with the first season.

Am I the only one who thought it was a decent match? It was very tactical from both teams. Italy tried to play as they did against Spain but we nullified almost all of their offensive attempts. And since they defended with 9-10 people it's obviously difficult to create chances for the opposing team. I think we did it well. Of course, we didn't want to play too risky, resulting in quite long passages of passing but eventually we did create some chances and also scored a goal. If Boateng didn't move like a fucking fairy in that aerial duel we would've won in normal time. And that extra time...what did you expect? So much at stake and nobody wanted to make a mistake. Italy much less than Germany (just like during the whole match). Yes, it could've been a great match if you just looked at the names, but I honestly don't think anybody should've expected more than what we've seen, especially if you saw Italy's previous games in the Euro. And to add my two cents to the penalty shootout: I don't understand the criticism. Have you every played football in your youth and had to walk to the penalty spot in order to possibly screw up or win the game? Every bit of professionalism and all the experience say goodbye. And for professional players in a tournament at this stage that feeling is probably unimaginable for us. Edit: Forgot to mention. Just watched Zaza's penalty again. What a moron. Gets subbed in just to shoot the penalty and then he does this. That's what arrogance gets you (and I'm pretty sure that run-up wasn't something other than arrogance). Edit2: Just to clarify, I agree that there are better ways to shoot penalties and that was not the best display of several players in a shootout, but I think the criticism I've read on the internet is way too harsh. Anyway, we'll probably see a "better" game today because with all due respect Iceland don't have the defensive quality that Italy has, so France will likely create a lot of chances. They match could, however, turn out to be a drag, though if France get so scared to really put enough effort into attacking.

I've just seen The Lobster. Extraordinary. There's so much I could say, but one thing is most remarkable to me: Everything you see in the movie, like cars, the city, trees, animals, people, chairs, water, clouds...everything feels out of place, seems weird, simply doesn't fit. It's difficult to describe. When I walk through the streets and see a car...well, it's the most normal thing in the world. When a car was seen in the movie...it was just odd. It didn't seem right. Even though the world and everything inside it (besides the most obvious absurdly dystopian aspects) were the same as ours, it felt kind of...wrong? I think it's an incredible feat for a movie/director/screenwriter to achieve something like that. Wonderful film, though definitely not for everyone.

Quickplay tries to match you with people at your level (i.e. what you can increase with XP) not your skill. In the last few days, however, I (level 26) have been matched quite often with higher level players (both on my and on the enemy team). Oh and remember: High levels do NOT mean high skill...not at all... McCree's skill (Flashbang) + his alternate fire (unload your gun very quickly) is basically a sure way to kill every hero if you face him/her one on one. They will nerf this. His ult isn't the problem. It's actually quite easy to dodge most of the time.

Oh my God, really? Haven't backed it, because I sadly don't have the money to spare but it's still annoying to read that it might get shut down. Really hope it doesn't, though. The book looks awesome and I hope people get the opportunity to enjoy it.

I love Torbjörn. Not because he currently is OP as fuck, but his gun is awesome. I usually just put up a turret to protect the objective, upgrade it to level 2 and run around shooting people with Torbjörn's gun. People get confused when they see a Torbjörn at the front lines and not camping around his turret to wack it with his hammer.

Two more wins and I got 100 wins. Looking forward to competitive mode. We should get some games going then (maybe practice in quick play before that ). Also:

You know what's the worst about Portugal advancing to the semifinals? They played exactly the way Ronaldo was complaining about after their match against Iceland. They really don't deserve to have come this far... In order for me to have a realistic chance in the betting games I'm in Wales has to win so my opponents won't bonus points for Belgium advancing to the semi finals That's why I'm going for Wales 2 - 1 Belgium. : peace:

I have never finished Bioshock...Think I started it 5 or 6 times and stopped for no particular reason. I own it on PC and PS3...think I'll get this collection somewhere down the line when it's cheap. Absolutely loved Bioshock: Infinite and can't want to play it again. This time including the DLC

Expected a gif, Daft delivered.
