    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    Bombadil was brought up at the Council of Elrond as a potential way to handle the ring. Gandalf and Elrond both agreed that he was too care-free to take the evil of the ring seriously and would have eventually lost track of it. Even if he didn't, the ring wasn't even the major threat in the...

    Overwatch

    I don't know what you're talking about (dumar), I still get crushed in all the modern shooters. If anything, they're harder than the old ones because you can't tell where you are getting shot from in a lot of cases. At least in CS or Unreal you could spray and pray in the general direction of...

    Fantasy Football 2014 Advice Thread!

    I would be receiving Ball/Brees. My team right now is: QB: Brady RBs: Ellington/Bell/Ridley/Miller/Asiata/K. Davis/Gerhart WRs: Megatron/DT/Cobb/Decker/Josh Gordon (playoff stash) TE: Gronk My obvious weak points are RB (no one reliable) and QB (Brady is hot garbage and I'll be...

    Two trades are on the table: Montee Ball for Randall Cobb straight up. Or Drew Brees + Montee Ball for Calvin Johnson + Lamar Miller Thoughts?

    DOTA 2

    I can't remember ever being able to ward the pit with either type of ward, I might be wrong though. There's also vision blockers that prevent wards from seeing into the pit from the outside, as well as the area right around the entrance near the secret shop cliff. For some reason I remember...

    You aren't able to put a ward inside the pit. You can put a remote mine, though =D.

    DOTA 2

    Sentries don't reveal smoke any longer. But you're right, Lycan is amazing when something else is going on to keep the other team distracted. I can't count how many times I've thought my team won a team fight just to pan over and see Lycan taking two towers or Roshan. He's stupid fast at split...

    DOTA 2

    It has a huge cast range on top of a huge radius and casts instantly. It lasts 25 seconds with a CD 30. It's pretty much the easiest item to use in the entire game, and far easier than a level 1 dagon.

    I'd prefer veil unless your team is overly heavy on physical damage. But if you have fun with dagon, knock yourself out. Not everything is about efficiency.

    DOTA 2

    Veil is a decent option too. It's probably the most underrated item in the game overall. For less than the cost of an Aghs, you can get a veil and a casual point booster. Comparing the two you get: Aghs - 200 HP, 150 Mana, 10 All Stats, +33% Damage on Scythe, Buyback Canceling Veil+PB...

    DOTA 2

    Not 10% of all players, just 10% of those online on any given weekend. I don't think that's too unrealistic if is it is well promoted and has rewards that you can't buy or get through ordinary pub games.

    DOTA 2

    Does League do something similar? I've never played that game. Anyways, I was thinking different colored effects, in game titles, special colored fonts, maybe something like a crown or border around your icon. That sort of thing. Nothing too obtrusive but still noticeable. 10% would probably...

    DOTA 2

    You also get to play with a flag and base icons. The downside is it's not a functionality that's really encouraged all that much. I would like to see something like monthly tournaments where teams are able to compete for items, bragging rights, special effects, etc. Have different...

    DOTA 2

    I actually liked the outcome of the game. Newbee dominated everyone they played after the group stages and completely deserved the win. They even did it while starting from the hardest possible position. And I'm not making up rules. Almost no major sporting events allows forfeiting absent a...

    DOTA 2

    Chinese teams make mistakes. They throw leads. They aren't some breed of super-gamers impervious to nerves and bad decisions. It's the same line of thinking that had people saying wisp would never work against the Chinese because they were so good that they could never be caught out of position...
