    DOTA 2

    I dunno, there is a fine line between being bad (or having a bad lane matchup, you see people get shit on for this all the time) and intentionally screwing over your teammates: e.g. I had a visage who never fought in a team fight, never defended a tower (or base), went midas, agi carry items...

    Computer Chairs

    The Aeron is a pretty old design at this point (think nearly 20-years). They actually have a newer high-end model at this point. Personally I bought a Steelcase Leap since I work from home. If you live in a proper city there are probably quite a few office supply stores and you can probably...

    Represent Your Distro (or any OS)

    Fedora - I've run all the major Linux distros and quite a few minor ones over the years only multiple PCs and just today I ditched the last non-fedora install (mint) due to shitty wifi support. I've found it to be the most stable and least likely to break shit (though it still sadly happens...

    DOTA 2

    In most sports teams/players get a share of the broadcast rights, sponsorships, etc. If you want to grow esports and have a competitive field then the prize pool needs to be spread around. The TI4 prize pool is big enough that first place doesn't need to be a lions share in order for the price...

    DOTA 2

    I agree, other than Aghs (+veil) he doesn't really gain very much with farm. That said he seems under picked in the pro scene, he has huge magic damage, pushes creeps fast and has high tower damage.

    You could also switch to Firefox ESR which iirc is based on 27 at the moment. They will however eventually move to a newer base version -Firefox Extended Support Release FAQ - Mozilla

    DOTA 2

    ... the point is MMR is broken. The fact that they're on the same team is immaterial (though dota2 does in fact have a teams....), if you grab a handful of pro players from T1 teams they'll dominate barring a try-hard stack with a hero advantage. This should tell you that the method used to...

    DOTA 2

    So you're saying you see no problems with a system that puts 4 pro players on one team and 5-random players on the other?

    DOTA 2

    Here's how you know dota2 matchmaking is pretty borked.... durnig a recent SingSing stream while he was partied with one of his random friends the algorithm decided to add two other C9 players (EternalEnvy, Bone7) and Grizine (pro on a t2/t3 team). Game didn't last long didn't last long despite...

    They need to start blocking people based on ping/region. I'm fine with exceptions for mixed region parties but otherwise.....

    After their initial success post-changesg when 6.79 was released they started dropping a lot of games until MLG.

    DOTA 2

    I don't think it has anything to do with smurfing (if that was the case I believe you would see the recommendation for snowball / gankers), but the ultra-high MMR players are finding that in order to have a positive winrate they need to be the one actively winning. This makes sense, the...

    DOTA 2

    I only play US East and its non-stop Peruvians and Brazilians, as a rule they're terrible players I have no clue how they have that MMR. I've actually been considering queuing European West to see if its any better.

    Seems unreasonable that Sigma was allowed to have 3-standins from the same team (dog) against Fnatic.

    DOTA 2

    I've been playing a lot of jungle Doom recently with a very high win rate and I've come to the conclusion - ~3100 at least your team should always draft greedy very rarely will you be punished for it. This comes off a long period where I played a lot of support where I found that players just...

    One wonders about Medusa Shield, PL Illusions, Tinker March or Tinker RocketsReally though its probably most interesting to get Meepo ultimate on a hero with high stat gain like Centaur.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I imagine it would be treated as property (as opposed to financial transactions), it would really depend on whether MtGox reported it or not. Even if the authorities don't consider the theftvaluable, its also hacking which has its own charges. Of course it would ultimately come down to...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Well, they are technically stolen property so law enforcement could watch the network and seize them from the first known recipient. So any exchange or transaction processor would be wise to follow a blacklist and even knowingly dealing in stolen property itself is a crime. Arguably its in...

    DOTA 2

    I hadn't noticed Ember Spirit was added to CM. The Na`Vi vs Liquid game had XBOCT playing it -Na Ayesee - YouTubebut nothing interesting happened as a cheesy BoTs + hero unit strat shtu down farming pretty early. Its funny how much Timbersaw and Clock have dropped off recently.

    DOTA 2

    I doubt they're ignoring it but the super range creeps are only a minor push advantage whereas the super melee creeps push the lane pretty hard. If the barracks are going down to 20hp that means they very nearly had it, I think teams hit the range barracks during a slow siege when they're...

    What did you just read?

    I picked upMagic, Myth & Majesty (7 Fantasy Novels)for 99-cents and have been through them. THE WHITE TREE (The Cycle of Arawn)- really liked this story A LEGACY OF LIGHT (The Dragon War)- typical but decent story, characters a bit annoying at times DEFENDER (The Sanctuary)- didn't finish...

    I've done this combo a few times with a friend of mine, and once we were lucky enough that a third person picked Drow adding the global damage buff to ranged heroes.

    RIP Shirley Temple

    I think it might be an age thing, I'm in my early 30s and I saw a few of her movies growing up, probably while at my grandparents place. In the 80s and the start of the 90s they still used to show a lot of black & white stuff (or maybe technicolor versions?) on TV and I imagine people my age or...

    I was just idly watching EternalEnvy stream and saw some random pub player was telling him he sucked and should never play carry again. Glad to see these morons exist at all rankings, really the worst part of DotA2 are the players - I don't think I've ever played another online game (in...

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    I haven't seen stuttering when I've streamed Twitch.tv (fullscreen) to my Chromecast. This is from an i5-3570k w/ 12gb ram connected to the wifi access point via gigabit so wireless traffic only goes in one direction. (Of course there could be a/v sync issues that aren't really noticeable w/o...
