It kinda sucks that the digital version of Scythe still doesn't have all the expansions, the airships from Wind Gambit and Spoiler Content from Rise of Fenris really change how the entire match plays out.
@zaldar: Any chance that it could fall under the "commentary/transformative work" clause (that LPers rely on) as long as they don't charge anything for the game?
Clearly they need to add "A League Guy" to the hiring criteria for GBeast's new third chair. A Counter-Brad, if you will. Just someone who can go on for half an hour about DJ Sona...
@tikicobra: Could be worse, League still uses proprietary currency that you have to buy in bulk ala old Xbox Live. And right now they have a "special quest" where if you win three games while using one of the new skin series (so 10-15 dollars), you earn... the right to pre-order a special hoodie for another 45 dollars.
It may not be slot machines, but it's still mind boggling.
Brad Chat: I honestly don't get the hate for League compared to DotA. On the one hand yeah, the monetization model's shit and the roster's more than a little bloated. On the other, you don't have to worry about three different Shop locations, minion denials, camp stacking, strategic tree eating, or the utter hell that is trying to coordinate Courier with four other randos.
I mean, I love DotA as a spectator sport, but it's more than a little unwieldy even compared to other mobas.
Did anyone catch the name of that MHGen Twitch Group they mentioned? The episode already deleted itself on my podcast app and I'm not exactly looking forward to scrubbing through the first hour again...
@theidar: Man, this whole final week is just one long FatT reference and I'm kinda loving it. At this rate we're gonna get TMS#FE on Friday and the main character's just going to be Larry.
