I haven't posted here since probably 2013 (though I miss you all and occasionally lurk), but I was reading about the Blizzard thing today, and you may be able to imagine my surprise when I saw the username UltimaterializerX in this article...

Blizzard only cares about the Chinese market
Jesus, Ulti, can you ever NOT go to extremes whenever you talk about videogames?

Also, because I cant stop finding this funny:
The worst video game ever made -Ulti during his contest writeups, on Hearthstone (and nearly every videogame released after 2001)

As someone who has all the single player content, every card in the game, and all but three heroes at gold portraits -Ulti, in the quoted article

Please dont get sarcastic. I just find it funny for somebody to declare they hate something when they still play it constantly.

If theyre directly involved, oh yeah. Ive quit jobs over ownership or bosses not standing up for whats right.

Falling in line is easy. Real men are willing to do the right thing no matter what.

It's one thing if it's an article about the reddit reaction.

It's another to quote Marc Rubio and follow that up with a bye_bitches quote

I wasnt sarcastic. He has played this game that he theoretically hates way more than I have and ive played a shit ton of Hearthstone. Thats pretty funny.

I'm addition to all the lies, ulti is straight up not very good at hearthstone. He doesn't have the right temperament to not tilt from the smallest amount of variance and he is incapable of analyzing his play in a way that is not results oriented.

They may as well have quoted a blind person's opinion on a new art exhibit.

because most of us probably aren't closely following the social dynamics of the hearthstone reddit and even if we were it's still cool to see somebody you know in an article?
