Forgor to post this last night but here's my stage 3 picks. We don't need to talk about how stage 2 went LMAO

I'm already 2 down here because like an idiot I picked Imperial 0-3 twice in a row. Watch them win the fuckin' Major somehow

You had the best looking car in the championship since the 206 (the older Imprezas were nicer than the new ones, and we're also two years away from the utter war crime of a hatchback) and this is what you do with it? Piss in a cup, we have tests we need to run

Nearly had the 5 there last stage but not quite. I have a bit more confidence in stage 2, although going both Aurora / NaVi for 3-0 is probably risky, and there really isn't a clear second 0-3

Forgot to post 'em yesterday but as the Major is on it's pickems time again

Once again though, the first stage now is a crapshoot and I'm honestly thinking Valve probably just shouldn't ask for picks for it. Obv they'd never, for various reasons, but BO1s like these may as well be a lottery

I don't know what it is about these stages but Mexico in this game somehow keeps bringing out my most stylish driving

Some switch shit at Fake Pier 7

Really hope the replay editor gets up to par with previous games soon. Even better if it'd be on par with Session's because its is easily the best in any skating game (if not any game outright) and really should be the new benchmark

And here's some of the R35 that took me through the last stages and endgame. Went for a more sparse visual that looked a little menacing, I think I got that

I no-lifed it already obviously (nothing spoiling new content)

Some photo mode shots of this lad in 1.0.

Full release fuckin rules btw

Me saying at every single industry event "they're surely going to announce Ristar 2 here, right?"

I keep forgetting I can actually post Sk4te clips now

I've always been and will continue to be firmly against it being always online (among *many* other things) but I can't say it doesn't rule to be able to just have impromptu spot seshes with anyone who bothers to join in

Quote with a title screen iconic to you

There was only one real choice. The simplicity; logo flybys, title, sheer void, and crackling blue filament like lightning from within. Nothing ever looked this fucking cool immediately upon boot before or since. And then you got to play Deus Ex afterwards!

The line-up on Testament's The Gathering (1999) could have made the greatest thrash album to ever exist if they were brought together in 1988-89 rather than 1998-99. Still wound up more enjoyable than not, but absolutely a victim of the musical world around it

ah, my Quarterly INFRA Shilling Newsletter

As far as attempts to recreate the feeling of real places (if not actual real places), nothing comes close. The perfect mix of the inherent atmosphere and tension of a well-crafted Source engine world with the grounded familiarity of reality

Almost forgot to post these for the playoffs but honestly I don't think there's going to be any difference between this and any other rando's picks this time lmao

Some upset potential still obviously but at least going off of what /should/ happen, there's no way you'd think it wouldn't end up here
June 19, 2025 at 3:10 AM
Well, it was at least better than last stage, so I got what I asked for lmao

Investigate the Legacy offices for blood offerings to Elder Gods because how the FUCK are they in the playoffs
June 16, 2025 at 8:25 PM
Are you fucking kidding me
June 12, 2025 at 5:18 PM
Stage 3 is go, it surely can't go worse than last

It shouldn't be; I'm pretty confident with all of these except paiN, they're with NMG / LVG where they definitely have 0-3 potential against these teams, but paiN are gonna play much better teams than NMG / LVG (Bo1 vs Spirit is very winnable tho)
June 12, 2025 at 8:14 AM
If I can't get a successful set of picks then I will gladly take a 1/10 disaster because honestly what the FUCK was this stage
June 10, 2025 at 9:05 PM
Holy fuck they're washed how do you lose a Bo3 against FUCKING LEGACY?????
June 8, 2025 at 7:21 PM
June 7, 2025 at 10:30 PM
Okay Stage 2 here we go

Honestly, every team here that isn't being paid in oil drums could potentially fuck my shit up. Vaguely confident in my 3-0s / 0-3s and first three advancements. BB and OG are pretty borderline. I don't trust VP, but I trust all the other fuckers in this stage even less
June 7, 2025 at 5:27 AM
7/10, pretty good for a stage like that honestly! NACS disasterclass, but then, that's NACS nowadays for ya

Stage 2 picks comin' later tonight
June 6, 2025 at 11:08 PM
The BLAST Austin Major starts literally tomorrow so that means it's one of two times in the year where I will randomly start posting about Counter-Strike

though, remove the branding from this stage and make it standalone, this'd be a total Mickey Mouse event. Confident 3-0 / 0-3, the rest, whatever
