People will be whipping their dicks out for Harambe until god knows when.

Edit: I do agree with him on it being the people's fault because they were yelling and confusing Harambe.

I have been completely out of the loop for this. I heard the name, remember reading something about a gorilla, but never knew about any of the media. Out. Of. The. Loop.

I also tried to remain out of the loop about it, but culture by osmosis, yada yada. I think the meme is a joke about how the media took to the story at a ridiculous level, like CNN did with the Malaysian Air plane, and so people ironically lionized Harambe in response, then it took life from there.

In past 2 years, I started to dislike German WW2 tanks due people obsessing over them and making them look like they are the greatest things ever.

I never even heard of that gorilla thing until every player in Overwatch started babbling about bringing Harambe to the game and then picking Winston.

That name is new. Given 90% of the series is about ashes, fire, and ways to make life metaphors, it's not telling me much from that alone.

I am guilty of doing that at least once, but in my defense, they had a Tracer/Genji team so fuck them.

What circles do you hang out in where WWII German tanks get brought up in casual conversation? Are you a tank enthusiast? Part of a WWII historical preservation society? A military engineering club?

I'm on reddit and frequent history related subs, well used to anyway.

Unsurprisingly, WW2 is a popular topic. And it attracts that sort of people with a big boner for German tanks when topic about tanks comes up.

You should introduce them to the game called Panzermadels. Bet that will stir things up.

Oh, modelers. Model makers obsess over WWII. I have about 3/7 of the american army air corp (about one scale model each) not including the navy. I have only three German and one Japanese towards my fleet and my life time goal is to have three comparable air forces, not including the English which I'm too nervous to get into. That's not including ships, personnel transport or tanks which is a huge genre. And that's just WWII which spans about 5 years. Huge topic all of it. Just huge.

For all you model makers out there if you ever visit Fall River Massachusetts the battleship U.S.S. Massachusetts has three floors inside dedicated all to models from WWII. Three floors of a battleship filled with them.

It was tempting, mostly because I have been here since 2010, and yet another forum collapse would have seemed the most reasonable time to bow out. A fair amount of begging is what reeled me back in. So here I am, stranger in a strange land.

All that being said however, despite my disappointments, i thought season 2 was much better than season 1.

As of now id rate season 1 a 4/10 (i may go as low as a 3 really), and season 2 as maybe a 5/10 (which would have been up to a 6 or 7 if not for my major complaint.)

Still no confirmation, but it's still speculated that Sombra is a new character/something new to do with the game.

Apparently this latest thing has a countdown timer, that will end later on tonight (GMT 24th August).
Here is a link to the gamedetectives wiki and has all the relevant info on Sombra's ARG so far: http://wiki.gamedetectives.net/index.ph ... Sombra_ARG

The people I've talked to that have run through it view the story as either out and out bad or badly truncated.

Everyone has praised the first mission though.

Turkey just invaded ISIS controlled Syria. Syrian rebels are doing most of the leg work, but Turkish tanks and special operatives are also directly involved in fighting. Turkish artillery is giving supporting, along with Turkish and US airforce.

Gee look at how helpful the Turks are I'm sure they won't spend the overwhelming majority of their effort beating on the Kurds... nope. Not one bit.

Especially with a trustworthy chap like their current Dicta---President.

US is taking part of this offensive too and they won't allow Turkey and their backed rebels to have confrontation with Kurds that US backs as well.

They'll most likely push forward until reaching Kurdish held territories and stop, then perhaps push deeper against ISIS in Aleppo but that would piss off Kurds as they plan to expand there.
