General Discussion / Need Attendance Data on GoIO Competitive Gaming

« on: September 11, 2015, 12:37:26 am »

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted on the forums. I'm writing an article online, and I was wondering if anyone had any attendance data for pro GoIO players, for some of the most popular tournaments (unspecified) or just data from the Fabrian Conclusion and Leviathan tournaments.

QA pays shit and doesn't give you any roads into development at almost all the big developers. I can't tell if you're uninformed or masochistic...

Most of my ships are dog-themed because DAGZ, with the exception of my Junker. I'll keep this short and save descriptions for my Junker.

Squid - The Pekingese
Galleon - The Shepherd
Pyramidion - The Bloodhound
Spire - The Daschunde (A dog I despise and a ship I like even less. Go f**k dem sausage dagz.)
Mobula - The Barking Basset (She's loaded with Banshees and Hades, goes in loud every time~)
Goldfish - The Dogfish (Is it a dog, a fish, or a dogfish?!)
And finally...
Junker - The Ballistic
I pride myself in running an effective long-range ship, and The Ballistic definitely does the job well. Its name is inspired both by the role it plays and the song Velocity Shift by Overseer.

I can't help but play it whenever I'm at the helm of my Junker, which might contribute to the fact that I can never hear a damn thing my crew says to me.

Airships are OP and so is boarding, lets just get rid of them and have pvp melee combat instead.
I'll buff your mallet if you rebuild my right arm!

You can buff my mallet any day~

I emailed the devs once asking to replace the drums with Yakety Sax.

The average American is an ignorant fuck.
My take on Crimea and Russia at this point in time? I know two things:
1. Russia's economy is tanking.
2. Putin is Russia's Man of the Year this year.
Doesn't say much about the Ukraine, but it says plenty about how screwed up your media is. Methinks you're spoonfed lies and propaganda, and I really wouldn't trust anything Baldy says about the good of the country. IMHO, I'd go Kramer (from the sit-com Seinfeld) on Putin and do the exact opposite of everything he predicts or suggests. What a menace.

Impy and I have been working on scripts for a GoI fancomic in our spare time (when I'm not dying from all this goddamn work, fuck college prep). As for writing specifically for your anthology? I might when this semester is over and I'm out of animation class, I'll watch the thread and see where this goes.

P.S. You're writing a novel too?! Get out of town, that's /my/ territory. >u>

You want a novel duel?
I'll smack you so hard with my very thick e-book.... jk... I have no idea how to get it published... but finishing it is a good start. Guess I'll just smack you with a manuscript.


Well logic... I can always write a story about the bards. I just need a few parameters, because people always have a specific expectation but tend to do say "do whatever", when they really want is do this thing I want.

I'm sure I'm a little young, but does anyone here remember Legend of Dragoon? Massive RPG, clever mechanics, had the unfortunate luck of being published near the end of the PS 1's life cycle and has since vanished into obscurity. Scuttlebutt says that it's now downloadable on the PSN but I haven't checked.

We shall it the Titantic.

The figure Dicaprio and holding out his arms with some lady friend.

We really need a figure head like that, seriously. Workshop. Muse. chop chop. It is time.

...All of my yes to that figurehead.  Would go perfectly on a Pyra or a Galleon

I would enjoy smashing DiCaprio's face into a rock wall.

87. Yep I'm bringing myself.

Sometimes I put the keys in the ignition, turn my car on, then forget myself on the hood and drive off without me.

Calling it a kink put the post in a mental framework of sexuality for me. I'm going to go pour bleach down my ear now.

65.  soooo this conversation happened while at work:

oh my god I just verbally referred to our CSRs as CAs – slip of the tongue

You’re probably fine as long as you don’t load burst rounds into the multipliers.
Be sure to keep the fax machine buffed, or we won’t get that memo out.

Because memos are just /that/ important.
