No, you're really missing the point. Most users don't look at the profile. At all. The ONLY thing that matters is your picture for the vast majority of cases. As in, you could have an empty profile and a profile completely filled out with the same picture, and you'd have 95% exactly the same...

Book 4 is confirmed, pre-production is all done. It looks like it'll continue to be online only and not broadcast on Nick.

The OKTrends blog did the analysis on every single user. Anecdotal experience notwithstanding, that is a mountain of data. Also 80% of guys, according to girls, are "below average" in terms of attractiveness. So not only is that picture really important, but it better make you look fantastic.

I want to run a minion heavy deck with KT at some point. Druid seems like a good pick. Mid-range Druid with a ton of taunts could easily be money.

The OKTrends blog is easily some of the most fascinating reading ever and it is being updated again, but one of the older entries answers your question: because it works. Guys with those ab pics get the most responses and the most unsolicited messages. Now why women are lying... well, there are...

They have their upsides. Every minute I watch them I feel better about my casting of the RR HS tourny.

Webspinner into Scientist would be my preference, actually. Even going second I'd rather not turn coin 1 if I don't have to.

It just means whoever took the picture of the status liked it... you really think Taylor Swift took a picture of her own status and uploaded it somewhere? Although with the new way Facebook calculates popularity, people are less likely to see your posts if you don't like them yourself...

Actually my disappointment is compounded is compounded on reflection. She should have immediately told the neighbor that they were on a break during her trip. Letting someone believe he is a cheater and how that could effect his reputation at home is wrong. Not especially surprised because from...

People are so bad at open relationships, wow. Also good for that guy in the wedding story, holy shit. I feel like he has some self-respect again.

Can't believe how many people are watching Reynad work his way through Heroic Naxx. He is like doing the whole thing right now, he skipped it before.

I've been streaming/casting some of the games for the Rerolled Hearthstone tournaments I've been organizing.

I didn't have to play any of the hero challenges more than once. They were all really easy. I'm not sure why people think the Paladin one is hard.

Done with Naxx. I hope I never want to play on EU or Asia seriously, because the fights are pretty dumb.

If the conversation goes past like 4-5 messages and you haven't asked to meet up, you did it wrong. You should at least ask for her number and move along to texting. You were trying to figure out her schedule, make it work, etc., which is nice and considerate and also takes way to long and is...

I do! I didn't think about the fact that Morimoto is primarily a sushi chef at his home restaurant, so of course he is using single bevel knives which don't get honed.

...Yes, I know, I said comparing the two it demonstrated an ignorance on her part. OK, I looked into it, apparently Morimoto does actually sharpen his knives twice a day (and sands the handle twice a day too, to maintain a rough grip so it doesn't get too smooth). But this is only because of...

Well comparing a honing steel and a sharpening stone shows an ignorance of what they are for. They do different things. Honing steels take a sharp edge that isn't pointing down and re-align to point down, so the sharp edge is actually cutting. Sharpening stones physically take material off to...

I predict it is the method the Japanese discovered of using a plastic bottle. EDIT: Watched the video, called it. Yeah, it is a really cool way of doing it.

I actually think the Shaman hero power is the weakest overall because of how unpredictable it is. I'm not sure what I'd do to change it though. Each individual totem would be fine as a 0 mana card so in that sense it is "balanced" with all the other hero powers except for Warlock. @Ancient: I...

I actually know a girl who is 25 who has been trying to get a tubal ligation for two years. She has been to a little over three dozen surgeons and none of them will do it. Nothing illegal about it, they can decline to do any elective surgery they want. And she always gets told "You might want...

17 million in student loans? How many years did you go to school?

Homeworld 2 cheats. Every level whatever you jump in with it builds a composition specifically to counter it, as if the enemy had exact foreknowledge of your fleet at all times. Game was just really poorly designed. And the UI was a nightmare, especially compared to how good Cataclysm was...

There are points in the game where it can literally be impossible, regardless of skill. But yeah, the game isn't exactly picnic at any point if you actually run into this issue because of a general low skill level.

I have a Zelda shirt I think is awesome, it has a music bar with with the Song of Storms on it with the icons it used in-game in Ocarina and it says "Make it Rain" underneath. Have 100% completed every Zelda game and went to the 25th anniversary symphony. Original NES Zelda was literally the...

No... the 2 mana of the hero power makes up for the fact that it is not costing you a card. So: 1/1 token costs you a card: 0 mana 1/1 token as a hero power, doesn't cost you a card: 2 mana. Get an extra card in hand from your deck, costs you a card: 3 mana. Get an extra card in hand...

That is the point, it doesn't cost a card. Paladin hero ability as a card is a Wisp. Mage hero ability with a card is Moonfire. Warlock hero ability as a card? Is basically Arcane Intellect. So you remove the "as a card part." Warlock hero ability is basically AI, a 3 mana card, whereas the...

You should still only lose a few degrees/hour and they are done at 130. Might need to add some cold water and stir. Remember the point is to never let them get over 130, if they sit at 140 for 15 minutes and two hours later the water is at 130, they are still going to be overcooked.

The comparison was Arcane Intellect. Arcane Intellect draws two cards, but it itself is a card so it only really gives you one extra card. It costs 3 mana. Lifetap costs 2 mana and 2 health and gives you one extra card, just like AI. I heard Trump, Amaz, and Kolento make this comparison a few...

Warlock. Also Mage is generally ranked second or third, depending. I think Trump put it third, behind Druid. Koyuki put it second. Kolento put it second. Every single HS pro I've heard asked this question has put the Warlock hero power first, followed by statements like "it isn't even close" and...

It is hard to tell the three C's from the picture. Jeweler's guild has a test so sensitive it has to be graded by computer for seeing how cleanly people can distinguish colors. They give you four boxes with 16 caps each with a colored dot and it forms a full spectrum. You have to put them in...

I feel like he should get some harder handles or something, wow. It took me almost five years to get a knife to the second stage shown there.

I'll take a crack at those. 1) Learning Nen is the "secret" or "second" test for becoming a Hunter. Immediately after the test we see everyone run into because if they don't, they can't become real Hunters. This is explicitly spelled out in the show, with the recruitment lady for Kurapika...

Watched episodes 1 and 2 last night, wife's girlfriend had never seen or heard of The Wire. Will probably end up rewatching the whole thing with over the next few weeks with them. Still so amazed how good the show is and how much the cast clicks from day one.

MMOs are different from single player games, news at 11. Fun fact: In Homeworld 2 they actually did scale the difficulty down if you jumped in without enough ships because of how many people complained about getting stuck in Homeworld. But in Homeworld 2 you could retire your ships for near...

Tomatoes are great when picked ripe. They also spoil in like four seconds. So you pick them unripe, ship them, and ripen them with gas. At some point during this process you usually drop them below 45 degrees, turning off a magical compound that gives tomatoes most of their flavor. And once it...

Kolento was playing a Wailing Soul/Ancient Watcher deck that was doing work. Was almost all minions, I think his only spells were PW:S, Circle, and Holy Nova. Also Miracle Rogue is all over legend right now, watching multiple streamers run into it multiple games in a row.

I'm actually happy the author of HxH took a break and that they decided to delay the anime, rather than forging ahead with their own made-up story. Sometimes creative people burn out. They can either take a break, give up on the project, or force it out and produce some total shit.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman? Love that guy.

So if I did a stream my basic idea would be to have a list of ingredients/tools and cook something in real time. So you could just watch the video and cook along, not having to pause or anything. Then each VOD would be a recipe (or maybe a meal, show people how to make one thing while something...
