    DOTA 2

    Game 3 of LGD vs. Titan is hilarious, and long. Serious, serious throws from both teams. I'm talking 3+ throws with clear misplays. Fun to watch though.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I tried to enjoy the game but after the full 24 hours of "you can't patch" for no reason, and an entire thread of people also affected by it, the bank errors, constant botting and hacking bullshit, and maintenance during play windows I'm out. I am trying to do a charge back, but they have...

    DOTA 2

    DEFINITELY shouldn't be able to hit people in fog either. You can't juke it by going around the corner.

    That can only really be applied when the data follows a Normal Model. Just fyi.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Bought from their website, submitted a ticket for a refund, gave all the required info over a number of days until finally someone said "We will not refund you." What do I do to get them to give it?

    Let me spell it out for you then, tiger. His original claim was, and let me quote it for you: "Can't justify giving money to a dev house that runs with that business model." Then he said he...wait for it...purchased games with the money he made from the market, which is...wait for...

    DOTA 2

    You run the risk of: Getting your steam account banned Getting a chargeback on paypal. Further it's usually a SHITTON of work to get like 50% of what you paid. So yeah--I stand by what I said.

    DOTA 2

    DK didn't even give a crap that they were behind in gold game 2 of the final (game 3 if you count that they started with a 1 game advantage). You can't draft around a team that plays so well with so many different, disparate lineups. This is some of the best dota that has ever been played...

    DOTA 2

    This game 2 of Starladder's DK vs. IG is probably the worst drafting I've ever seen by a top tier team. IG drafts a 0 stun lineup against a 5 stun lineup that INCLUDES an enigma. Proceed to lose every lane, are shocked when they can't get kills against anyone because DK just walks away.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Which is sad to me, because they have a really good system where they COULD implement group content with pulling to a camp. The sad part is, what group content there is (dungeons) got nerfed so hard that you get 3 xp a kill in there. The loot is a travesty, you're much better off just...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I can't stress how good the music is in this game. It's not like WoW where you can watch an episode of Seinfeld at the same time. I mean, yeah you can, but that kinda ruins the game.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I know you can you craft from the bank. You have to hold on to weapons you want to research (since it takes for fucking ever to research some and without an AH you can't guarantee you'll ever find a Precise staff ever again), all your provisioning materials, all your armoring materials, all the...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The inventory management in this game is bullshit. The amount of running you have to do, PVP or PVE, is sometimes bullshit. The amount of shit you have to manage with your tiny inventory while crafting is bullshit. However, the exploration, the feel, the class design, and the dialogue are...

    A lot of people really benefit around the colder holidays (Christmas, New Years, Etc.) from a sad light (one of these badboys;Amazon.com: Day-Light Classic 10,000 LUX SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) Lamp (DL930): Health Personal Care). Even if you don't think you have SAD, it's worth trying...

    Chris Evans really nails it throughout the movie. One of the ending scenes is especially powerful because of his delivery.

    DOTA 2

    VP vs. Alliance today was a joke. Any game that was close turned into "Alliance has way better poise and gamesense, so they win."

    Titanfall

    Had fun playing. In trying to play the campaign, apparently all the rest of my maps "differ from the server." Rather than a simple dialogue box, where you could click "OKAY" or perhaps, I don't fucking know, download the map, the entire game closes at that point.

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Start with Bitter Seeds if superheroes aren't your thing. It's kinda the halfway point--more dark fantasy alternate history than superhero.

    Hearthstone

    Unfortunately Gavinrad is correct. Look up the gambler's fallacy if you do not understand this. You could calculate "what are my odds of drawing a single card (that I want) out of a deck size of X." You can calculate your odds of getting it in a starting hand of given size Y, but the odds...

    DOTA 2

    Try out our new mode! You can't buy lifesteal. We didn't tell you this beforehand, enjoy! You also can't use characters that have lifesteal. You can't use fury swipes, or certain core abilities on certain heroes. Now, do this for a half hour.

    I haven't found any wonky hit detection or blast radius. Been playing for a few days. Still pretty amazing how many ideas I have for new rocket launchers/assault rifles/modified shotguns etc.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Okay let me revise my statement. When you do any content of significant difficulty, which I tend to do past 40, you cannot survive without projectile reflection. Hell, you'll still die in X-Defense even with it, and without it you just explode.

    DOTA 2

    I'm getting these guys and Russians. And people who try out a new hero in fucking ranked. I've lost 475 MMR in the past 5 days. My KDR is positive, my lane is won 85% of the time, I deliver first blood a solid half of the time. Around the halfway point, the...

    Unfortunately, past 40 you start folding like a metal chair and you need the projectile deflection of her other tempest.

    Your options are: 1) Suck it up and buy them 2) Try to torrent them, and when you can't, see 1). I have a book this semester that is over 200 dollars. Its previous edition is 18.50. The instructor on day 1 said "you can't get away with the previous edition gaiz." It's the college...

    DK in rare throw-the-early-game form. Plus a draft that relies heavily on Clinkz and early blink daggers.

    30 Frost Prime, Ember, Nyx, Loki, Exc Prime (was a founder way back), Banshee, and Nova. I know a lot about the game but not everything. It's my "chill" game. I drop 5-10 steambux now and then on the game when I get a 50 or 75% off plat. I come back to it in a fury for a few weeks, then...

    DOTA 2

    There's really nothing else to say beyond that. Elsewise, 3800+ is a fine place to sit. I've seen a few pro players, and a disturbing number of people who know me. Sub 3k? That's where it gets absurd. I think 3800 is still a 95% rating.

    Donating Plasma

    This isn't "blood" donation, it's plasma. There is a difference. Donating blood people do for free. The pay here is usually juice and a cookie. It's voluntary work here too and people take pride in it. Plasma donation you can do 4 times a month, or even 8 times in some places, I think...

    Donating Plasma

    Anywhere between 15 and 40 dollars. A lot of places give you 40 the first time you do it, then 20 every time after. They use a horse needle on you and it's incredibly uncomfortable. If you dislike pain, needles, or feeling like you have a steel rod in your arm for an extended period of...
