People always talk about how SpaceUK’s hacking impacted the game, but how did Cyclic’s hacking impact the game? I know it changed the trajectory of Riot and Sunix’s careers with the SW race, but other than that, how did Cyclic’s hacking impact top play as we know it?
I was around back then, but I don’t think I fully grasp the impact of it all even today. Can someone help me out?
Old SP promos were hilariously deceptive.
Everything is incredible. The voice acting, the music, the dialogue and how Gary never stops being optimistic, the way Gary and Judy’s relationship is written to make this moment feel earned, the gorgeous animation, and how it gives you the warm fuzzies even when everything looks so bleak and dour. Gary is my absolute favorite of the new characters, and I’d love to see more of him.
It’s absolutely incredible how this movie gives us 2 incredible emotional scenes in quick succession without feeling like it’s trying to force the emotions out of you.
Still the greatest game I’ve watched. I ran around my house screaming after this went in.
A lot of ppl give Kyle shit over letting Stan go in Ass Burgers, but you gotta remember that he tried calling and talking to him repeatedly, and Stan didn’t answer. Besides, Stan’s depressed mood was starting to bum him out. I don’t blame Kyle at all.
He literally told Wendy he tried to call him multiple times and talk to him. He tried taking him to the movies and doing stuff they liked, but Stan was still depressed and nothing worked. Even when he was working with Cartman, he still was happy for him that he was seemingly getting out of his depression and even walked right back to him when Stan said “Kyle, I love you”.
Yet, ppl are so desperate to portray Kyle as a bad friend that they ignore all the context that makes his decision make sense. Kyle IS a good friend to Stan. Would a bad friend call his best friend multiple times to try to talk to him? Would a bad friend try to cheer his friend up by taking him to places where they know they can have fun? No, of course not.
Besides, there are ppl who’ve been in Kyle’s shoes and they say the same thing: It’s hard to deal with and you hardly even know what to do. Add that onto the fact that Kyle is 10 years old, and his decision to let Stan go makes a whole lot more sense.
TL;DR - Kyle didn’t “abandon” Stan, he tried talking to him and cheering him up multiple times and Stan continued to be depressed. Once that started to seriously affect Kyle’s mental state, he decided to let him go to avoid feeling depressed as well. Which is completely understandable.
It’s so interesting to see these old posts, especially since this episode changed Cartman forever.
(Update: Had to take out a screenshot that was unrelated and replace it with a new one)
This is so surreal. I was just doing a search for my username and this came up. I feel on top of the world rn.
My actual best is 2:41, but that one only started recording after Phase 2 bcs I wasn’t trying for a TKO. This isn’t my best performance, but it’s my best one with a whole video.
