I think he owns some dim sum restaurant chain named Steam.

Mr Chungus talked about PUBG
He reported that several Chinese companies have made their own mobile knock-offs of PUBG, and when the creators of PUBG tried to sue them they quickly realized they made a mistake in that everything in their game's aesthetic is generic to begin with. That's why there's been a meme circulating about PUBG claiming to be the ones who invented having a frying pan as a melee weapon. Things broke down to PUBG attempting to claim shipping crates as intellectual property, and it all just fell apart in court.

Thank you so much for posting a video from that disgusting morbidly obese Nazi/Batman villain cosplayer.

Thinking about the grid system vs circles... here's the 20 seconds of thought idea I would throw out to 'fix' PUBG's circles if I were making a BR game, and I didn't like the downtime after the initial slaughter (and I rather do like it). Accelerate the circle timer based on kills, done and done. If 60 people die in the first minute then that shit is gonna shrink and shrink fast. It would fit well with the 'initial circle is visible during parachuting' thing that PUBG has been flirting with. Experimental Test Server Patch Notes: Ok Bluehole/PUBG Corp... I see you. I see you.

Move to the USA and put on weight, same with John Oliver on Last Week Tonight. His neck is showing he's been eating too much corn syrup or something equally horrific.

I'm going to need some hard evidence that he was skinny on the day he showed up here before I let the greatest country on Earth take any blame for his corpulent state.

He was funnier before he became strictly about horse race politics, aka first season was his best.

Not skinny but it wouldn't surprise me if he is larger than he would have been if he was in Europe.

So Sanhok, the new map. They separated it into its own mini-BR playlist, and they don't use their MMR for it. That kind of makes sense. It's really fun for hot drops, there are ARs everywhere. It's probably the easiest map to win since very few people play it super seriously. Dropping with 30 other people on Bootcamp is a riot. But you can kit yourself out going to random garbage or even 'long dropping' (which is kind of a silly term for a map this small) and not have to engage anyone till like 25 left. Bootcamp, Paradise Resort and Ruins all seem to attract more heat than just about anything on the previous two maps. Sometimes you get the same player counts on Erangel's Military Base, but that's so much more spread out.
Ruins is the quickest most 'school' fight out of the bunch, quick and to the point. Paradise Resort is probably my favorite. It's a nice layout, reminds me of Hacienda if you made it about twice the size.
Bootcamp is as I said earlier very fun. But it has this weird property where I don't think you can really win it. There's too many little buildings, windows, and angles. You only survive it. You get a few kills, you loot what's safely around, you camp a bunch to see if you can get an extra cheap kill... then you slink away to your next destination without clearing the whole area. I've watched it again and again on replays, there's always at least 3 people who survive the Bootcamp who eventually just escape. Every other area in the game I feel like you 'win' it and semi-carelessly grab all the loot when you think you're done.
So, aside from the hot drops... it plays pretty well. The terrain is good. The dynamic weather is good. Of the three maps I think this is the one where going full stealth is the most viable. Tons of foliage,lots of topography, and really not that many long sightlines where the grass render distance is going to get you killed if you try and play snek.
The movement of the circles is great, I know I've complained about them reverting similar changes to the other maps, and that's because it's completely needed. On Sanhok it works just how it should, bad players can't really screw you by staying on the blue and shooting you in the back as you are forced to move in. It's still kind of bad to be riding the blue because someone in the white is free to peek and pressure you but it's not a complete death sentence outside your control. They really need to apply the same philosophy to the old maps. I have no idea how someone can prefer the legacy circle behavior.
So, it's fun. The map is a little too small, the loot is probably too plentiful, but I think we all know why they made a map like this. I wonder what they're going to do with the snow map... I think they should stick with some of the design improvements of Sanhok and give it a tweener size in the 6x6 to 7x7 range. 4x4 isn't quite real PUBG, vehicles are pretty much superfluous. The sheer density of players makes loot crate hunting a god damn disaster... at this point I'm just starting to quick-grab the level 3 helmet because you don't really even have time to swap for the weapon before more people are on you.
As for it coming to Xbox, supposedly in just under 3 months if you buy their 'late summer' estimate... I don't know, it packs in so many players so tightly and that's exactly what the Xbox struggles with most. Maybe it being smaller will help in some ways but I think overall it's just a problematic map for Xbox. A 10 man School fight on Xbox is already a complete shit-show frame-rate-wise. I think a Bootcamp drop would just lock up the whole system. I'd be surprised if it ships on time in even a semi-functional state but I guess we shall see.

So you are playing this on the PC?
And they changed the circle movement or timing?

Correct, I play a lot of solo on PC, and mostly duos/squads on Xbox. The new map had been in preview for a while as well before officially releasing in the last week. The Xbox version is pretty far behind as they concentrate on trying to fix crashes and performance more than catching up.
Circles are different on the new map. They move slower, and there is less time between them. They also do more damage as you can out-walk them at pretty much all times except the very first circle if you're on the wide side of it.
They changed the circles in a similar way on the old maps on PC as well but then got lots of complaints and very quickly went back to the normal circle timings you see on Xbox.
The new map also has an exclusive circle behavior in that the time between circles decreases the fewer players are left. So let's say 80 people die right away, there's going to be almost no time between first circle and second circle. That way they force the players together and avoid a super slow mid-game. If say only 20 people die in the early stage it will have far more normal time between circles as the player density still allows for lots of players coming together and fighting.

Ok, that makes a lot of sense. Especially with how you described things, people dying faster on the new map.

Do those people, when in the live tournies, play with M&K...or a controller? That's all PC version... I can't imagine anyone showed up with a gamepad but I guess I can't rule it out for the charity part of the tourny.

Speaking of the Global Invitational I was impressed by Gen G Gold's performance in the PGI and was rooting for them whenever Liquid got wiped. That tournament was plain fun to watch.

What made you get an XB1? Oh sorry. Haven't been on here much. Too busy with work, mostly. Actually my brother got it for me so we could share games.
