#14 spoiling match results in title in Site Discussion
SpadesThe biggest TF2 LAN all year and people are angry about match results being pushed on the biggest worldwide platform for comp TF2 when it happens.
???

We want the results--we just want the chance to watch the VOD first.

Spades . . . ( you can unsub from news threads but i guess it cant be done ) or to physically be at the LAN

First option also prevents me from noticing the ~80% of posts that aren't match spoilers. The second option doesn't even contribute to this discussion you are so wonderfully adding to.

#49 ETF2L bans wall bugs in TF2 General Discussion

tbf wallbugs and most hiding spots look stupid as fuck. idk if wallbugs can be fixed or implemented cleanly, but i think it'd be nice if hiding spots actually looked reasonable and not like the invisible ledges they usually are.

#50 A Guide to FOV in TF2 in TF2 General Discussion
hooli ... as long it is a multiple of 9 or 10 and you are not in windowed mode to achieve FoV greater than 106.3.

ftfy

doesn't work with sv_restrict_aspect_ratio_fov 2. however, none of the servers i've just tried (skial, tf.tv dm, cephalo pugs, black swan's server, and official valve server) use that setting. etf2l config apparently uses sv_restrict_aspect_ratio_fov 0 (??), not sure about esea.

#14 black mirror in Music, Movies, TV

1. USS Callister
Plot was very predictable, and dialogue was incredibly cheesy. I understand that may have been an intentional homage to shows like Star Trek but it ruined the drama of the episode.

2. Arkangel
By-the-numbers tale of helicopter parenting. Pretty much nothing important in this episode couldn't be done with today's technology; the filtering mechanic was completely wasted as setup for fairly vanilla teenage recklessness. Entire episode could have been avoided if any of the three main characters just had a discussion.

3. Crocodile
Difficult to sympathize with Mia or her family; luckily, Shazia and her family were very likable and were the reason this episode made my heart sink into my stomach. It's also a slow burner episode, takes a while for the first relevant tech to even appear, although once it gets started it starts to snowball fast--appropriate metaphor for the crimes she's committing. The shot of the water on the road lit up by the tail-light, making it look like a hidden trail of blood was a great visual metaphor. Ending seemed pretty nonsensical, and I would have preferred a more ambiguous conclusion.

4. Hang the DJ
Continues the trend of the best Black Mirror episodes being the simpler, mostly feel-good ones (e.g. Be Right Back, Nosedive, San Junipero). The mystery is always present but never dwelled on in favor of the relationship drama.The story implies the same type of events might transpire again, making the ending both sweet and sad, but it doesn't bluntly ask the question directly. The twist isn't hard to see coming but the emotional payoff isn't diminished. Also has a pretty soundtrack.

5. Metalhead
Tight script with tense pacing, wonderfully enhanced by the gory, dreary, monochromatic visuals. Unfortunately the ending reveal fails to provide a satisfying explanation of the world or motivations of the characters, and instead just causes further bewilderment.

6. Black Museum
Really did feel like a series finale. The internal mini-stories feel half-baked but are interesting enough, and they end up tying together with the main story pretty well. The conclusion has a celebratory tone that I think feels juvenile and undeserved as a completely unapologetic vindication of a revenge fantasy.

Overall, the 2-3 good episodes out of 6 for the season isn't great but isn't that far below the other seasons.

#4 Controller for PC Gaming in Hardware

I imagine both quality and cleanliness would be greatly compromised. I would think controllers are one of those components you just shouldn't buy used.

#1 Controller for PC Gaming in Hardware

Wanna help me do some shopping? I'm looking to buy either an Xbox One S controller or a Dualshock 4 (v2) controller sometime this holiday season.

Black Friday ads suggest most retailers will be selling both for $39.99. From what I've read on r/buildapcsales and r/GameDeals, it's not a great sale.

There are a few deals right now below that price point:
Dualshock 4 (v2)
- $38.25 from Rakuten
- $37.99 from eBay

Xbox One S (i.e. third revision)
- $36.99 from eBay

Any point in waiting for Black Friday? Some sales might not be published yet. I hear there are better sales almost monthly but browsing r/buildapcsales they seem kinda rare.

Also, I don't own a console so I don't know which controller is better. I'll be testing them at GameStop or something soon but that's not a full picture, so I'd like your opinions. Poll here: http://www.strawpoll.me/14403433
