    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    Yea I've never read any GotG stuff but I thought that was all pretty obvious, especially with the explanations they give in the movie :P

    Got Marvel Legendary over Christmas, I'd played it before and liked it so we picked it up. The urge to buy all the expansions already is strong though, haha.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

    Something that works on basically all Captains/warchiefs is dominated orcs. They ignore immunities so if you just charm like his whole army they'll swarm him down eventually.

    It's one of my favorite games of all time. It is not, however, like Bastion gameplay-wise. It's much more brutal and for most of the game it'll play out more turn based/tactical RPG-ish. The world, story, art, are all superb and very distinct from Bastion. It's short but a lot of room for...

    League Of Legends

    I've been playing 3-4 matches a day for 2 weeks and have only seen 1 D/C. Dunno what problems they're having but they must be super sporadic or localized to certain matchups.

    Only the host needs the Heist DLCs, if that helps. All the gear/item ones won't make much difference if you are just playing for a week or two, but those are individual otherwise, I.E. if someone wants to be a sniper they can get the Sniper pack but no one else needs it.

    The Equalizer

    Yea pretty much. I saw this in theaters when I was bored one night. It definitely isn't as polished as Man on Fire was and I don't think it was as good as John Wick even, but I enjoyed it for it was. Mainly just contrasted it to Man on Fire the whole time in my head. The different...

    I think I'm like 14-3 on Poro with playing a different champ every game. Except Yasuo twice because <3 Yasuo.

    Everyone that's played it seems to love it. People paying the full $20 for it even. So I'm sure it's worth $12. I wouldn't be hesitating except I have a bunch of games I already want to start.

    It definitely works - were you trying to apply GMG credit too? You can only do one or the other. I still haven't pulled the trigger, because as much as I want it I don't see myself starting it soon.

    Hearthstone

    I concur about hating amazon's app, it's been a nightmare for me to deal with ever since they released it. What's amazing is how much better it is and it's still annoying as crap. Are you trying to get your Android phone/tablet to VPN or your browser? For Chrome you could tryHola, I've never...

    Heroes of the Storm

    I guess one my concerns with balancing in HotS is that it's supposedly in Alpha right now, which should mean extremely fast and varied changes hitting every week. As opposed to the patch notes once every what - couple months? - that are comparable to a fully released MOBA. I agree with having...

    Heroes of the Storm

    The "LoL" approach is somewhat incorrect. something like 95% of LoL champions are good, and I think 100% have a dedicated player that are in the highest tier of the ladder. The image of a smaller "good" pool comes from pro games playing so safe - in a lot of cases players will get skilled at a...

    League Of Legends

    I love this Poro mode. I've played like 15-16 games, different champ every time, and they've all been reasonably fun, even the times one of my team was DC. Way more champ variety than most of the game modes see, too.

    That's because this -> Will tell you that it's Ariel Winters. The gif is probably Sarah, I can't really tell for sure. They apparently play sisters on TV though which is funny that they can be mistaken for each other.

    Steam winter auction 2014

    I got all my games but none were in the "last" auction that finished as the sale went live. I got my copies when their round of auction ended. I'm guessing it's the last auction that fubar? The auctions were all supposed to end same time sale went live so I'm not surprised there's some issues.

    The list at the bottom is just regular discounts, so no, not until the last day of the sale.

    Related to this advice, everyone should installEnhanced Steamif you don't have it. By the same guy who made idle_master and it's basically an improvement in every way. It'll show you on a game's store page (or your wishlist if you hover over it) where the current cheapest price is. Nuuvem comes...

    Steam winter auction 2014

    Yea, cards themselves aren't worth turning into gems. It was way more cost effective to buy missing cards and craft the badge and convert the background + emoticon into gems and sell the holiday card, but that required paying attention to your costs and having Steam money in the first place. I...

    Steam winter auction 2014

    So for $9.71 and a few of my own backgrounds/emoticons scrapped (like 10, maybe less), I got 4 games off my wishlist: Sentris, TRI, 10 Second Ninja, and NeonXSZ. At 75% off each, those would have cost me around $17, and 2 of them are early access and haven't been more than a couple bucks off...

    League Of Legends

    Neither Liandry's nor Rylai's are on-hit effects, they are spell effects. On-hit effects are lifesteal, nashor's, machete, wits, which are triggered by auto attacks and say Gangplank/Ez Q.

    It's not something to be fixed, it's intentional. He was never designed for jungling so there's no reason they would fix that. Zyras plants, donger turrets, Yorick ghouls all don't proc on-hits either. People think the sand soldiers are "extending" Azir's autos but they're not, they're spell...

    So far every champion is awesome on poro mode :P I've done Orianna (poro in and easy ult on people), Gnar (ahahahahahahah), Amumu (makes up for missing Q), Sejuani (same), Yasuo (mo' mobility mo' angry people)

    Steam winter auction 2014

    What? Price of gems seems as high as it's been, as are the prices of backgrounds/emoticons. Was like $0.7 for a bag of gems when they hit the market, almost double that now. They rose mostly the first 12 hours and have since slowed to a crawl as far as inflation goes, but I expect more spikes...

    Steam winter auction 2014

    I don't know about "farce." Aside from those few random games that people are overpaying for, most of the games are a fair sale price or better, and it's eating up tons of useless background/emoticon/cards from people's inventories which make those all more valuable to people who don't collect...

    Steam winter auction 2014

    It's been on sale other places though, and likely will be on Steam in a couple days. And that doesn't excuse people paying 50% more than the BASE cost in gems :P

    Steam winter auction 2014

    I got a game on my wishlist for 4k gems that hasn't gone below $16 yet so I feel like that's pretty great savings. I'll keep an eye on some of the others but with gem costs rising I don't foresee any of the "big" titles ever being worth it.

    The sale prices are set by the individual developers/publishers now so it's pretty impossible to get a list of all the sales for Steam anymore.

    All of those items do no damage to towers and don't help you mushroom-ward enemy jungle much at all. I mean, any build on any champ can do well in the right games if you try enough, but there's definitely better ways to do what you do and still have the same playstyle :P

    Marvel Universe stuff

    It is a bit less natural at first I felt like but they grow into it pretty quick. The key is that it's different enough from Sherlock where I don't even feel like I have to say I like one more than the other, they're just different "Holmes Worlds." Elementary is more inspired-by and does it's...

    League Of Legends

    It's basically the definition of a newb trap, but I think because there's a legitimate build that uses it sometimes (Kayle), Riot didn't axe it like they should have along with the Executioner's Blade/Sword of the Divine. It's a neat EFFECT but the stats and cost just kill it.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    As a huge fan of Sherlock, I found Elementary to be basically equal is quality AND there's a lot more of it AND it's on like CBS or something stupid isn't it? An ironic score 1 for America in my book.

    He's in my personal top 3 is what I was thinking. Sona -> Ziggs -> Varus all have super high win rates for me (I've lost 1 match on Varus, not sure I've lost one on either of the other two). I like the minor buffs to a bunch of different champs in the patch. The nerf to Lucian early game...
