But can I get a drone to pick me up and fly me to lan? Better yet, can I use a drone to send cbear a papa johns pizza while he streams?

I'm going. How much more excitment do you need?

Scout: Clockwork/Banny
Pocket: Lansky/Yuki
Roamer:Blaze/Seagull
Demo: Duwatna/Termo
Medic: Shade/Harbleu
Sniper: Sheep/Sheep

As a Tolkien fan, if there's one thing I've learned . . . you never bet against the eagles. They're overpowered, mysteriously awesome, and at any moment might swoop in from the sky and destroy your evil pipe dreams in the name of higher justice.

Ive updated the Freedom Fighters news post

When is the mixup/epsi match slated for, anyone know? I want to try and bang out a news post if I can.

Never understood the attempt at a new format and that format being something other than 5v5.

4v4 is just a reduced version of 6v6 (minus 1 soldier/1 scout). Easy.

Go 5v5 instead and make teams form a meta around when to use a 2nd scout, or roamer, or heavy, or sniper or something else. 4v4 is just the core of a tf2 comp team. 5v5 is the core with the off-class role spotlighted, and that spotlights what makes tf2 unique — the classes as tools in the tool box. 2nd scout would likely be most favorited, but the switch to a roamer for bombing last, or opening up a defenders 2nd hold (while having to drop that 2nd scout), and so on and so on with the ifs, would make things very entertaining and spices things much more than 4v4 could.

I get the idea, but 4v4 seems like the version of the game xboxers would play.

Game's dead, no Classic Bu...

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffffffffffff

Became irrationally excited when I heard Lange's voice start narrating. Had no idea he worked on the project.

golden voice, get this man in some casts

I won on every match last night except NaVi vs LDLC. Never betting on Navi again.

wow, all I have is like 40 cent skins to bet, so my winnings are always...about 40 cents

ez skins

I bet small on Epsilon (b/c I hardly have anything). They looked really strong, Shox is playing great. NiP looked a bit shaky in the start, Epsilon seemed calm and in control. I'm not betting against Shox again.

You misunderstand, I didn't offer my argument as a counterpoint. The video is alarming and makes good points. As I said in the my first sentence I take umbrage with the creativity portion of the vid, which upon re-watching, you'll see is indeed the weakest part of the proposed doomsday scenario. Machines can create. Great. My point is there is an inherent human undercurrent to created things which give them their worth (I also lumped performers in with this, as the craft of performing inherently appeals to our [the human consumer's] ability to empathize/see ourselves as the performer, and think "if I could do that/wish I could do that/how can they do that").

My argument is A.I. is not a threat to these things because of why these things are created/consumed. The idea of machine-made, processed, or artificial already leaves a bad taste in our mouth, if an A.I. composed a symphony it would be valued for as long as that event remained an anomaly. "Woa, look at that computer doing something creative." If A.I. took over writing symphonies with the ease and whimsy this video suggests, the "real" thing would suddenly be more desired.

You can't say the same thing when it comes to function type vocations.
