    DOTA 2

    This tiny item build means he's going to be of questionable use as the game goes late.

    DOTA 2

    Ya, I was really questioning the meepo pick when they did it. The last pick Timber is also interesting against Meepo since he relies on stats.

    ha, in g2 EHome vs Liquid, Ursa accidentally leaves the aegis in the pit for 3-4 minutes... wtf is up with kotlguy. He's supposed to be a native English speaker but says shit likeI'm percolated.

    Any in particular? I find it hard to follow when the timezone is completely opposite, ends as I wake and starts around bedtime.

    TheGDStudiocasts of the Pro-AM casts are pretty entertaining, just the irreverent 2GD, Skrff and Draskyl casting some semi-pro dota. Dale, secret carry...

    DOTA 2

    When he's streaming with his friends (e.g. Tucker, Arise, various folks from the community) he's generally pretty entertaining, solo streaming Iess so, but imo he's the only game streamer worth watching; the rest are pretty dull.

    Well, MFF is back... yesterday it was SingSing, Ar1se, Demon, Yapzor and FluffNStuff (standin for kebap) The NaVi roster today is Dendi, Sonneiko, Funn1k, Ditya Ra & AlwaysWannaFly. The last two are currently on other teams so....

    DOTA 2

    The issue is that when all you here is hype it loses all meaning. Just look at the UFC. In other news, Na`Vi boots everyone, now announces new team starting from Dendi & Sonneiko.... Why wouldn't they simply say they were dropping funn1k, xboct and psm?

    DOTA 2

    I've been thinking for a while that the previous iteration of Secret was based around out playing everyone (much like DK the year before), while this version is about out-thinking their opponents with Puppey, Pieliedie & Envy. I assume he must have clown pants & shoes on underneath the desk....

    Note I'm asking about finishing, not stripping. e.g. shellac, varnish, oil based, etc.

    Home Improvement

    Anyone know anything about finishing furniture? I have a chunky maple dining set that was my grandparents, unfortunately they painted most of it baby blue. I'm most of the way through the sanding process on a pair of the chairs but I'm not entirely sure what I should use to refinish them...

    Unfortunately they shoved the Upgrade Me! windows update on everyone and it repeatedly pestered average users.

    Google's Pixel C? From the single Asus Zenpad I've seen they seemed decent.

    Tablets

    Oh, also apparently they decided to include an 8 MP rear facing camera so microsofties can look like morons using tablets for photography too. Depends on what you mean, are they 1;1 features? Nope. But the market for 2-in-1s and transformers have't proven to be a large market so far, so I'd...

    Tablets

    Canada sorry, thought I had put it in the message. The sad part is that the Apple equivalent is 25% cheaper.... Microsoft - you want expensive, we'll give you so expensive your kids will be bankrupt!

    Tablets

    The pricing on the book is pretty brutal, just short of $2000 the base model (i5 8gb 128gb) on the microsoft store.

    DOTA 2

    EG is 0-2 post-TI and effectively swapped half the rosterReally this is the issue, post-TI there has been a single event occurring before the majors invites. If the majors prize pool eclipses that of other tournaments then many teams that don't make the majors will implode right after...

    DOTA 2

    I was a little surprised at least one SEA team wasn't invited. Some of the Chinese teams seem strange given they have almost entirely new rosters and haven't played any games. The tournament spacing is odd, to be honest, it feels like there should be one less major to add another month to...

    DOTA 2

    He looked fine, w33 couldn't do anything on the TA, timing issues w/ naga (puppey & misery had this issue in one of the recent online games recently too), and double saves let Vega go ham.

    DOTA 2

    I think they just don't have a set style yet, that and Puppey was scarred by being too predictable @ DAC last year.

    Tablets

    Bought my mother an Asus Zenpad 8, screen looked nice and seemed snappy. Unfortunately Asus really showing its PC maker roots, you have to watch the model numbers as they ship a variety of specs under the same name; plus different specs by region.

    DOTA 2

    I You really need to be able to leave someone to deal with her, but CDEC kept trying to group up as 5 and abandoning her lane. The ET wasn't as interesting as I'd expected, I think the aura pickup last year was more amusing to see people just get owned as their armour and MR disappeared. I...

    Synderen isn't part of JoinDota. Secret Elder Titan pick, should be interesting.

    DOTA 2

    Sure if they were 5-manning, but their lineup wasn't ready for it. I've seen a couple alchemist games lately where he gifts the early aghs to a support, and in each game the team has always felt very weak afterwards. The issue seems to be that the first level ultimates w/ aghs aren't...

    Amusing to see the Alchemist under the two supports in networth though.

    DOTA 2

    I really question Alch gifting the early aghanims to supports. To me it would make more sense to give it to the wind ranger and have her go straight dedalus, she'd be able to run around owning everyone giving space for the Alch to farm more.

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    I guess it depends on what you're looking to run. I don't know that any of them have access to the Play store. The Nexus Player has access to the store, and a subset of apps (most of what you might want, e.g. netflix, vlc, plex) and is a valid cast target. The Shield TV has faster hardware...

    imo, buy an AndroidTV device instead of some random chinese shit.

    DOTA 2

    I would expect this to largely be the norm with the majors, not really enough time to adjust after the large ham-fisted post-TI patches of the past.

    DOTA 2

    I think the bloodlust change is irrelevant, seems like it would be effective in the early game but no one is ever going to skill it early never mind putting a lot of points into it. Maybe if it were global ala Treant, but I can't see it being more relevant than Lich frost armour on towers has been.

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    Apparently the EU doesn't have as strict regulations on nitrous oxides which are the problem here. Apparently this is also why in NA we don't see the 40-50 mpg diesels. Diesel was just starting to improve its reputation after memories started fade from the black smoke era, I imagine they're...
