    Heroes of the Storm

    I played my first vesus game solo but the rest I've played were all with Oblio and Ronne I think, and those matches seemed pretty solid. Maybe because I'm so new it doesn't know where to put me yet?

    Going to Movies Solo

    Alright so I had a reason to go out and do something alone last night and ended up seeing The Equalizer anyway. Well worth it. Don't mind that I went alone but sucks I can't really gossip about it with anyone I know.

    I've played FO3 and FO:NV on Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1, pretty sure 7 was the only one that gave me any problem and like the first google fix solved it. And yea disable GFWL. I had it on and it didn't affect much but it gives most people issues.

    The gameplay is very different. I liked it more from an artsy/story-telling perspective. And I actually prefer the gameplay too, but ymmv. To me the Soundtrack was worth $10 though.

    League Of Legends

    I should clarify that ONCE is "way to often". And I've seen it a couple times in ranked between high silver-low plat. See it a lot more in off game modes like Hexakill and ARAM but honestly it's only marginally less garbage there... you can win with ANY build randomly of course, it's just about...

    League Of Legends

    Lucian and Corki play very, very differently than Graves or Sivir though. Graves and Sivir tend to be few, large hits whereas Lucian and Corki tend to be more sustained damage, similar to attackers, but they really on weaving spells in to the mix and have a way more varied build. I would...

    Heroes of the Storm

    My impressions so far are thus: Losing the strategy of item buying is huge for me, as that's always been a MAJOR part of my success in dota/lol, knowing what to buy when and knowing that other people tend to make worse decisions. I've won against mechanically superior opponents just because...

    Aren't there usually two more sales before year end anyway? They've been doing a "fall" sale or something near Thanksgiving, and the Christmas sale. Not surprised they backed off the Halloween one.

    League Of Legends

    There's basically 3 kinds of Marksmen: Trinity users, Casters, and Attackers. Trinity users are primarily Corki and Lucian (although it's less popular on Lucian now) and they focus on chaining fast spells between attacks for big damage. Casters rely on high ratios and burst damage from their...

    I feel like I say this constantly now, but yea item choice is a huge part of the strategy of the game. Not only your end-goal-build, but when to save gold for a bigger buy vs. buying a small boost now. Marksmen, like Sivir, have arguably the most straightforward and consistent builds so that...

    I apparently am in this now. Likely won't replace League for me but I'll play sporadically for sure :P especially on my lunch breaks. Add me if you want, InsantysMuse#1793

    I've been doing well with Jayce on my alt. I didn't used to think I was but I had him unlocked and thought what the hell, I'm like 8-3 or something with him now.

    Rammus has consistently had a really high winrate since... ever, I think. He's one of those champs that just gets shit done. And farming with him is boring so you're more likely to go do something useful :P

    Normally you hit your ability button then click on your target / area / line you want to cast at. With smart cast, you just hit the ability button and it fires at whatever is under your mouse at the time. Makes things go faster and smoother once you get used to it.

    League Of Legends

    Learning to last hit, use abilities and summoners, and positioning are pretty universal to all champions and very important. Learning item builds can come later on, especially since each champ has various builds depending on your comp + enemy comp + whatever

    Ryze' rotation is pretty self evident when you read his skills, and develops pretty naturally. Plus you can go from level 1 to Challenger on him with very little playstyle variation :P

    I used to go to movie's solo on the rare occasion I had no friends/family wanting to go see them or I somehow missed the group going to it, but lately I've had no interest in seeing a film solo. I really want to see the Equalizer but thinking about going to see it alone, I'd rather just sit at...

    Wasn't there another company already building something like that like last year? Haven't heard anything else on that since. But now it's Google so who knows.

    You can drop from gold to silver now. Pretty easily I thought? And it only counts for rewards if you END gold or higher now, not if you were ever gold or higher.

    I can't even believe the streak of bad luck I'm having. Glad I'm just trying to grind my smurf up and not my main. Out of 8 games, 2 have had semi-permanent disconnects only on my side, plus every single game some serious ragers like I usually see once every 8-9 games, often more than one. It's...

    Hexakill TT is pretty much what one expects. Nonstop gangrapes of one side or the other as groups of champs collide with smaller groups of champs

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    I was hoping it would have MP mods. Doesn't, so won't bother picking it up. There's almost no chance they'll add it since they said it was 'in the works' for Civ V at one point and it's clearly not going to happen there ever either.

    6 losses in a row. All winnable games. You know how my teams would have won? If mute all was the default. Literally we lost to people being argumentative dickheads every game. This is after WINNING like 7 out of 8 previous games where no one said anything all game. I mute people the instant...

    I played a few ranked games on my alt in silver last night and nothing weird happened except for a connection hiccup at the start of one game. I would expect silver to be rampant with abuse since that's the cutoff for rewards but nadda. :P

    I haven't checked lately, but typically support is the most common high-ranked main role. Supports carry their teams a lot more than it feels like. People recognize it more now and it helps that support itemization has improved as have some of the new champion designs compared to previous years...

    Glancing over that Reddit thread, it looks like people had tried to call him on it previously but there wasn't a camera so nothing came of it? Just judges shuffling in place of him in a few matches? Is deck manipulation kind of a taboo subject? Sounds like places are very tentative to enforce...

    Those first few were super fucking obvious, shocked the guy didn't see it right away. And there is no reason to shuffle that many times unless you're up to something anyway. If you're gonna cheat you gotta learn to cheat better than that :P

    Rupture is arguably way easier to land than Sion knockup and everybody is playing him. Cho did see a spike in ranked play starting a week ago so who knows what set it off. Saw a huge jump in unranked like 3 weeks ago too.

    Shrug. Could be. Sometimes it just shifts though. Few people start playing him and doing well, more people fight against/with it, spirals out from there. Cho has been solid for forever, just never been that popular.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The problem with Bane of the Trapped is it doesn't affect the damage from Sunwuko clone. There's no specific point to using it with sledge fist because the rank 25 effect makes it apply the damage bonus to all mobs anyway, it just fails to multiply damage from item procs right now so it's...

    Borderlands - The Pre-Sequel

    Tons of people had the same reactions to BL2 as they're having to this. It's just a matter of sampling and memories I guess.

    Steam does a free weekend every week now I think, this is just a bigger than usual one, with sales to boot. Picking up a couple Payday 2 DLCs I think. Oh, Payday 1 is actually free free.
