A game that feels like a surreal mix between The Matrix and Doom, with a dash of A Clockwork Orange craziness and a pinch of LSD. Not sure if that does it justice but I feel that's a pretty fair and accurate description of MDK (1997), a cult classic shooter developed by Shiny Entertainment.

You're a janitor on a spaceship (no, you're not Roger Wilco), recruited by the eccentric scientist Dr. Fluke Hawkins to stop an alien invasion.

Massive alien “Minecrawlers” are ravaging Earth, flattening cities and harvesting resources. That's where you come in to stop the whole thing.

I think, it's safe to say the developers weren't exactly going for mainstream appeal. MDK is a mix between classic action shooting, sniping, platforming, and quirky/odd humor.

It was an ambitious project for its time, featuring inventive gameplay and a truly great soundtrack. Critics loved it and players bought it, making MDK a massive commercial success.

Remember when shitters actually thought he had gotten some great revenge on Spirit by winning a Bounty and they'd regret removing him?

LOL! LMAO even.

Today was zweih’s 19th birthday, and PARIVISION’s Telegram followers got to vote on what gift he should receive

The options were three different knives… and socks

68% voted for the socks, so zweih ended up with some pretty good looking cars socks 💀

Fun fact:

Every LPL team attending Worlds contains a former winner except Anyone's Legend who let Flandre go to BLG this split.

Remember all the people who wanted kyxsan to stay after that group stage Rio win over Vitality? What's hilarious is a bunch already turned on him in Aurora before this final.

[NarT @NartOutHere]

‼️ NiKo opened up about what went wrong with kyxsan in Falcons and why the team ultimately decided to replace him with karrigan:

🗣️“I think we started dealing with the pressure in a very bad way as a team, and that he, as an IGL/captain, didn’t have the right approach with all of the players.

He had been brushing off the feedback he was getting rather than trying to take it all into account.

We should’ve somehow tried to create a better playstyle where everyone felt better about it, where everyone would feel a little more comfortable when we ran defaults, maybe with a bit fewer tactics.

At times, we would watch a match and analyse it together. We’d say one thing, that we thought we lost the match because of something and he would have a different opinion.

It was very difficult to find that middle ground together. I think that’s one of the reasons why Falcons decided to replace him and bring in karrigan, who is very different from Damjan.”

🚨 NEW: Thorin predicted that Canna will choke on the last episode of Shut Up and Scale:

"this is probably a sleeper, but the more you think about it, the more it makes sense, I think Canna is a choker, I think this guy routinely comes in looking MEGA and on top teams but he has blown a lot of big playoff moments"

"even back when he was in Korea, he certainly has a lot of choke in him and that makes me nervous for KC"

(via Shut Up and Scale, September 14th)

[Thorin @Thorin]

Canna is way too good to have this many shitty play-off performances. Maybe he did LCK a favour staying in LEC.

My lesbian neighbors asked me what I wanted for my birthday. They gave me a Rolex. I think they misunderstood when I said I wanna watch.

The one truth every man must know to survive in this world is that he will, no matter what, no matter how many obstacles pile up in his way, he must know in his bones that he will find a way through them all. this is the only thing that matters, the only question worth asking, not what could happen or who might stand in your path, but whether or not you will, in the end. because if you start with that knowledge, if you hold it tight and let that truth seep into your marrow, then theres not a goddamn thing in this world that can stop you. not fate, not the whole weight of history coming down on your shoulders. youll shrug it off. walk through the deepest rivers of shit imaginable and come out on the other side. and heaven and earth will move for the man who refuses to flinch.

[SportsStatsFan @SportsStatsFan]

If you transported today’s players to the 80s/90s, they would foul out with 6 offensive fouls and have 10 travel and carrying violations…before halftime

[Thorin @Thorin]

Talk more shit about Aurora and how much they miss bum arse MAJ3R LOL!

[HLTV.org @HLTVorg]

Aurora pass through the upper bracket to reach StarSeries Grand Final 🙌

[Thorin @Thorin]

Caps and G2 will yet again host the LEC trophy. MKOI played themselves back into form, but the clock will strike twelve and G2 will win the split.

Draft will be fun, though!
