The truth about tribunal.
For all of you league of legends fans I decided to take up arms and be active in this community. The recent launch of the Tribunal system seems to me worse than the Salem witch trials. Instead of harassing innocent women who just ate to much moldy bread the fire is turned into a new direction. The trolls.
This is nothing other than all out war on trolls. Now why am I defending trolls? Just like the Salem Witch Trials not all the people brought into the tribunal is a pagan. The system is horribly flawed in my opinion, because of one big reason. There is no details proving or disproving that this player should be punished.
When making a decision to cut off someone else's enjoyment time, I would hope it would be backed by fact. Just imagine if you went to a bar. You sit down at the bar and have your first pint. The guy next to you says "That beer is a sissy beer". That's your favorite type of beer so you say "fuck off".
Is it your fault for defending yourself or the guy next to you? Now with no rules or laws posted on this bar, the bartender now says. "You said fuck. Now we must deliberate with everyone who loves beer to see if you can have another". When the bartender gives the information to his council he offers them a free beer every time they take part in their civil action. You get no defense and no rebuttal, just objective judgement.
Now you may be asking. "Your talking so much shit how would you fix it?". I would release details of what the average per week report is. I would define the summoners code to be more clear than just the golden rules of society we use in the virtual world. If Riot doesn't like vulgarity they should say so in the summoners code. I would be happy even with a 'Vulgarity and disrespect to your team members and opposing players is prohibited'. It's not vague and give speech vulgarity to those who naturally have it in their vocabulary. I would also prefer more detailed reports on the persons death and kill log. Because believe it or not, people on the Internet are for the most part dumb. Knowing the truth behind out right harassment and frustration with a lesser skilled player is important.
These changes, are some of the things I hope to see in the tribunal in the future. Like most people, I'm skeptical of new regime changes but understand the good that could come out of it.

Where brink failed?
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-GG3RyslTqkjm2xNwAaz-eM1tDe7UExDGAFy6y6KatOwMiN4zlcHrctYFgKrmKOVaGuVk2dh4XJs4f7Yb7ErOV2T1xmq_m9HUPqY2GWX3uklwjEYRFeJZTAl9EVvvLBCJowzc2_VXRBU/s288/0.jpg)
I'm not going to lie. I was super impressed by the brink franchise pre-launch. I ate up into their stories of class play with objectives and different shooter archetypes. I ate up into the lame story and even into the free running.
But what made this game so ever lack luster? The game itself. Instead of going on a rant about how the game had the worst optimization ever or even the game play felt sub-par to team fortress 2, which was released almost 5 years earlier. I will be working on a BossVG review of this game and will have it posted on YouTube soon.
In all fairness to Bethesda games and their long history of glitches, they have been trying to make major patches to the game to help it's well being. Brink is in the top 4 sales on the major platform of the pc, steam. To be honest I wish I could really return my game and get The Witcher 2.

Valve will attend E3 empty handed.
According to Destructoid, Valve sent out an email to all press sites, stating that they have no games to display at the expo.
What the fuck is up with that? Can we get some type of news on Half Life Episode 3 at least? I wanna fucking know what happens to Gordon and Alex already.
Troll attempt? What do you think?

The Witcher 2 Betwitches DLC
For those unfamiliar with the Witcher, it was a vast PC RPG developed by CD Projekt that was released a few years back.
Well, the game's sequel releases tomorrow (May 17). On the eve of the release, via the developer Q&A that Gamestop posted on Facebook, one of the developers announced that all DLC for the Witcher 2 will be free, and added "If anything will be for purchase, those will be expansion packs." This, of course, is extended to the day-one DLC that is releasing, titled "Troll Trouble."
So there you have it, one more reason to pick this game up. If you like open world fantasy games with lots of boobs (yes, there is nudity from what I've heard) then get your game on tomorrow.
Though most of you will probably be playing LA Noir... :D
Duke's Big Demo
Another video in which Randy Pitchford comes out and talks about DNF, and they play on the bad news bit from their previous video (where they delayed it until June 14).
In other news: I'm still angry that we get it 4 days later than the rest of the world! *RAAAAAAAGE*
But whatever. I'm getting the PC Balls of Steel Edition...as if there is any other edition...(there actually are, but if you consider yourself a gamer there's only one real edition to get).
Still looking forward to DNF to come out June 14, 2011!

Lineage only has two months left to live.
Developer NCSoft said that the game is "no longer financially viable in the west". There is a little bit of good news though, for those of you who happen to be affected emotionally by this.
For the next two months, all existing accounts get to play for free and the developers have "lots of great events" planned, up until the closing of its NA servers. Additionally, long time Lineage players will receive some type of "Player Appreciation Awards" which allows them to try some other NCSoft titles for free. Such as Aion and Lineage II.
Mortal Kombat Kollection announced for PSN and XBLA
The time has Kome! Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 will be available this late summer in a complete package.
For just $9.99 or 800 MS points, Other Ocean and NetherRealm Studios plan to bring you all the classic bloody action with some online play, leaderboards and hopefully some type of lobby.
I honestly think Warner Bros. picked a good time to announce this. With the success of the recently released Mortal Kombat 9, I am sure fans of the franchise will flock to this download when it becomes available.
