    DOTA 2

    I didn't watch any of them, but its super weird how they lost to the easier teams and beat all 3 difficult teams. Secret is reminding me a bit of Cloud 9, they always seem to make the game super hard on themselves. The VP vs Vega game was a bit ridiculous, how many games in recent months...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Funnily enough I just watched this yesterday, and here is an unpopular opinion - its a turd. I can't say I ever quote Shakespeare but while watching it I remembered the linesfull of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

    DOTA 2

    My recollection is post-large patches push lineups tend to be much more prevalent and disappear as the patch gets figured out. (Then suddenly re-appear late @ TI4.... heh) Looks like DC isn't going to be going to the majors again. Kotlguy can't help but be a fucking idiot any time he...

    This pugna game feels like its balanced on a knife's edge the entire time.

    DOTA 2

    Meh, they hadn't really been winning fights though so its hard to see what they could have done. If Bulba's bots were off cd, or had TA and BB gone sooner (and not hit barracks for a couple seconds) maybe it would have worked /shrug. I think Shaker won Archon the game, so many great echos &...

    DOTA 2

    I forgot how much I dislike lone druid. The bear still feels so cheesy. Also DC v Archon game 3, I don't think I've seen an hour long game where a bristleback feels useless the entire game.

    DOTA 2

    DC doesn't seem to be outskilling these teams but they definitely have better direction. Its hard to see them taking games from the top teams but I don't think they're dead last either.

    DOTA 2

    I watched the C9 4-hour game, at least that one was interesting where C9 was trying to win. This game is so boring since both sides are just trying not to lose.

    DOTA 2

    There were quite a few western EU players in the open qualifiers, and a number sitting out. (Sing, Qoijva, Zai, etc.). ROX, Elements and Spirit are all a mix of semi-known and relatively unknown players. HellRaisers isn't really what they were either. Not saying that any of the qualifier...

    Oculus Rift

    *-sync monitors aren't really adding anything new though, they're a PQ improvement. To my mind though both are too expensive for what they add, I expect within 1-2 years they'll be half the price or dead like nvidia's 3D vision tech. Going back to Halflife they've caused me issues. It may be...

    Oculus Rift

    The price seemed pretty crazy, then I remembered people are spending more on g-sync and freesync monitors. For me Valve FPS games give me intense motion sickness and head aches, no way I would buy a VR headset until I can spend time with them and find out if they cause similar problems.

    DOTA 2

    Its crazy that 7 of the 8 invited teams in the EU qualifiers are CIS. There must be a bunch of good western european players who just get themselves together long enough to form decent teams, its like they're NA or something...

    Is this an OEM key from Dell, HP, etc.? If so, you could tryWindows 10 Tip: Successfully Clean Install Windows 10 - Thurrott.com Otherwise, another possibility would be to create a USB drive to install from rather than have it use the disk for setup files.

    New Vacation movie

    This movie is actually pretty funny if you like immature humour. e.g. when the inevitable happens while he's herding cows on an ATV or the interstate police stand-off. Also, the fake ad they did for the van they drive around in is pretty amazing too -Introducing the 2015 Tartan Prancer [HD] -...

    Windows 10

    The license is likely tied to the PC. If you had a retail (not system builder, or OEM) license for an earlier version of Windows you could probably install that and update it, or try one of the clean install methods. If that license was the one used on the previous PC you'd probably need to...

    I don't disagreeI was looking at the delete log for unrelated reasons and happened to notice Toby was on the list. Majors invitees were announced. Alliance is surprising to me, they've done well in what one tournament lately?

    Windows 10

    I have two computers running windows 10 one obeys the policy the other does not... I'm assuming there is some interaction with something else. Either way it's flat ridiculous that Microsoft felt it was acceptable to close running applications.

    DOTA 2

    I've also never been muted, which slightly surprises me. I never start flames but I'm definitely willing to fight fire with fire. Pre-reborn I used to get the "we've taken action against someone you reported" messages regularly though. As with Sulrn I also hate stacks and wish they'd re-add...

    The Ridiculous 6 - This could turn it around for Adam Sandler

    Earlier Sandler films had narratives (albeit predictable ones), were more focused on his character and perhaps a couple others with minor roles. There were too many characters, and too many 'bits' jammed into movie that limit the viewer from getting to know the protagonist and see him grow. Mel...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I was wondering about this also when they fought, sabers don't need any force to cut through someone so unless the Jedi is attempting to knock the blade out of someones hand why use it like a lumberjack chopping trees. Seemed like fencing and poking holes in someone would be the way to go...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I'm arguing science & physics it makes no sense. I don't give a shit about cannon. The show people standing on a planet and seeing others explode. The beam isn't moving faster than light, people see it coming, this requires that the weapon be in the same system yet no one saw it? Draining...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I would generally agree, too many parallels with the first movies for this to rank above meh. Unfortunately what JJ Abrams brought to the series was his really awful grasp of science and plot holes. (e.g. new death star, being able to see other planets explode, why a janitor knows the...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    I don't understand the attraction at all. Lots of music that isn't for me I can understand others liking but to me this falls into the "would jump out of a moving car to escape" category. Ever since I re-watched Wristcutters A Love Story I keep coming back to: Gogol Bordello, Through The...

    DOTA 2

    Its likely better than both with the ability to send a full damage clone to push or farm dangerous areas. Maybe octarine/radiance isn't the build, but midas seems pretty good though given the 2.5x benefit.

    DOTA 2

    Only time will tell but I don't think its enough. The hero has too many tools that are too good throughout the entire game. SingSing was playing him as a split pusher on stream. Midas (since your split pops w/ it ready), radiance, octarine, manta, bots, etc.

    Dazzle - needed nerfs Ogre Magi confirmed unkillable. OD no longer a lane dominator, I would hazard still unplayble. Riki, seems unplayable. Shadow Field - why was he not nerfed Dragon Lance - why give ranged heroes even more range?? melee carries have serious issues but they...

    WCA groups look.... odd. Group D has no T1 team but I they'd all have a high likelihood of being #2 in the others.

    Ditto, found him quickly annoying. Even the interviews are a step-down from Hotbid. Moonmeander casting is pretty entertaining, first time I've really heard him, makes me wonder why people seem not to like him. Summit has had some good casts in the past,Swedish castwith PieLieDie, Loda...

    DOTA 2

    I think OG went into the majors as a dark horse, from the lead-up I think most people would have predicted lower-mid to middle of the pack so teams didn't focus on their full attention on them. For whatever reason it happened to come together for OG at the right time (maybe the opportunity to...

    Gaming Chairs

    The aeron model is pretty old at this point (15-20 years I think so may not be the best). When I bought my steel case the local dealers have loaners you can try for a week or something

    Gaming Chairs

    I use a Steelcase Leap which is pretty expensive, though I work from home so.... In general if you live in a larger city there may be local store(s) that buy office used equipment and you'd be able to pickup a high end chair (Aeron, Steelcase, etc.) for a couple hundred bucks.

    The worst part is I can't even watch these games and be entertained as I can't deal with more than a handful of words from either Clairvoyance or Kotlguy before muting it.
