    Sniffles got a reaction from Cereal in OB Podcast   
    Hello to whom ever reads this, my name is Sniffles and i really want to start a 30-ish minute podcast with some other members/ players of this community!
    we'll discuss recent news gaming related, world news, OB news or maybe just a theme for example "should we ban super fat drinks and foods - Coke etc,
    i'd like it  to consist of maybe 3-4 people including myself who all have different opinions (Maybe one normal player, a member, staff member and vet?)
    you have to be free once a week time/two weeks  and date and time will be decided since ik most people cannot dedicate such time to a shitty idea since school and work.
    Just reply if you have any feedback or are interested
     
    If this actually goes ahead ill upload it onto the forums once every week or two for everyone to listen to and maybe put something in the background - surfing, peoples montages, what ever
     
    - Sniffles xoxo 
    i don't mind getting abused/criticism in the replies so go ahead and get your daily post here!  
     
    edit - probs old've put this in suggestions

    Sniffles got a reaction from Predator in Paladins (not a shit post surprisingly)   
    Paladins as explained by SKillershark - better than my original post so yeah! +rep him below
    Firstly, it's a 5v5, meaning that each kill counts for much more but the variety of team comps you can make is much smaller. Secondly, each round is a two-stage round, going from capturing the point to then defend the payload that appears or pushing it, depending on if you captured it or not. There are two points up for grabs in each of these rounds, one for capping and one for pushing the payload to the end (or defending the payload until time runs out). First to four points win, the only exception on points being given is that you cannot win by defending the payload, instead it just goes into the next round.
    When it comes to maps, until you reach level 5 you play I believe one or two different maps, all against bots. Past that point, though, there are at least six more maps with a variety of different flanking opportunities and great places to choke hold the enemies whilst they try to push the objective. Whilst characters can be very similar to those of Overwatch at times, there are multiple posts around the internet showing how they took most of the inspiration from Global Agenda (too lazy to find the posts on reddit) and characters that had similar abilities to those of Overwatch were actually also similar to Global Agenda. There are also a few different game mechanics, like them or not, like the ability to build items to counter the enemies you are playing against, upgrading them to a max level of 3 with the credits you get for performing well within rounds. Either way though, both games are fun and really it just comes down to preference.
    The cards that you unlock from chests (chests gained from leveling up or buying them with gems) allow you to build certain characters to your liking, reducing cooldowns on certain abilities, adding healing to others, they can drastically change the play style of any character, eg. Evie, a character with a blink, flying ability and ice block. You can spec into long blink ranges to get behind enemies and deal lots of damage when they don't expect it, or you can spec into low cooldown on your abilities to blink around quickly and harass all the enemies.
    All in all, Paladins feels very different to Overwatch, even if it is just another hero shooter, and is definitely worth a try due to it being free and only taking up around 3GB of space.

    Okay, since Sniffles is terrible at expressing this game and has made countless mistakes, I'll fix up a few things.
    Firstly, it's a 5v5, meaning that each kill counts for much more but the variety of team comps you can make is much smaller. Secondly, each round is a two-stage round, going from capturing the point to then defend the payload that appears or pushing it, depending on if you captured it or not.
