This is more software than hardware, but hoping someone can help me with a proxy/socks5/tunneling quandary. I need to be able to tunnel to a socks5 server and route certain programs (*cough* hearthstone/battle.net *cough*) through it on my work laptop. I set up a server using cygwin -> openSSH...

This news broke last night sometime I think, but the stores, banks, and government have probably known for another day or two. It's a fairly immense breach.

Bioshock bundle is $15 on Steam until Saturday as well

It seems like that would be kind of silly for 3 bans per team. If each team got 4-5, it would be more significant. It's hugely important in dota but champs over there are less interchangeable than a lot of LoL's champs. Actually, it would probably reduce the variety that League doesn't have much...

Sadly attack-move does not preserve your previous target very well. It's fairly random. And if you lose sight of your target for any length of time attack move will just start hitting minions. There are guides out there about some specialized way to bind your mouse keys in League for kiting as...

I have a feeling that we would be watching different movies even when staring at the same screen :P

Yea they showed the Orc host marching out of Dol Goldur in this one so there's no reason to think they won't be part of the five armies.

That was hardly the final hour OR ending of Bioshock 1, Mr. Just-Replayed-It

Sure, if you open with Smaug flying right into Laketown, gets shot down, then cut to five armies fighting, that's not filling up much time. But the Smaug/Laketown is going to take a while because dialogue, the lead-up to the five armies is going to take a LOT longer in the movie because...

The first Bioshock wasn't a first-person shooter, it was a first-person survivor game. As someone who LOVES playing single-player FPS (I have no idea why), I could not stand Bioshock 1's gameplay. I enjoyed the world and story enough to cheat my way through it essentially. Bioshock Infinite...

Yea I just came to post this. What the fuck is right. There's got to be some other stuff tucked in there.

I think this movie will be the worst of the three as far as filler goes. There's EASILY 2+ hours of non-filler in the third movie. Which was probably the problem: Make two 3 1/2 movies and cut a bunch of filler and leave out some less important side things or just turn it into 3 movies and come...

I was mainly considering it for 'half-points', I.E. make Cone of Cold 35 mana instead of 30 mana or 40 mana. You could do the same thing with the current numbers and just allow 0.5 costs, damages, etc. and people could grasp it easily, it would just be way messier to read.

The difference between banning in pro games and soloque is there's no statistical difference to bans in soloque. If the bans are in or not, there's no difference for soloque. It just makes a few people feel good and a bunch of people angry. The outcome of 100, 200, 300 games will be the same...

Strategy without knowledge isn't strategy, it's guessing. You're guessing your team will do worse against X champ. If YOU are bad at fighting a champion, it makes sense to ban it. Banning just because the popular thing to do is ban that champ isn't strategy, at all. I would much rather take away...

It's your opinion that those mechanics are stronger in soloq than other mechanics that you aren't banning. Anything sounds scary when you write about it in a void. I should start banning Urgot (wtf 1200 range targetable nuke and 120 armor from his ult. Oh and you do 15% less damage if he hits...

And this is what's wrong with bans in soloqueue. Those are opinions and aren't factually true. Banning based on opinions is not a strategy. I'm lost games as a 700+ stack nasus with 6 items and defeated nasus' in the same position. I've won against 6-item vaynes. I've beaten Eve more times than...

That is EXACTLY my point. You're banning based on personal preference. That's a dumb reason to have bans in the game. If you want to remove 'annoying' champions you'd need a solid 8+ bans just on your side. It doesn't add strategy. In solo queue it has gotten to the point where it is a negative...

This is more of a design/balance question than really relevant, but why do game designers shy away from using larger numbers as a base for life/damage/costs/etc.? For example, just multiply everything in Hearthstone by 10, so you start with 300 life, Pyro does 100 damage, costs 80 mana, etc...

If those champs are such a problem in solo queue, why don't their win rates reflect that? The "perma-banned" champs for any given tier are usually far behind in winrates to dozens of champions. It's nothing but perception and personal preference. That's not strategy or depth, again. It's purely...

I don't think anyone is arguing for getting rid of bans in pro matches. Bans make sense there, because you have your premade team but mostly becauseyou know who you're playing against. In yolo-queue, you are with 4 random people against 5 random people, less than 1 in 50 games has any kind of...

It seems like they should just actually get rid of MF. This is just going to turn MF on items into another pointless stat. Unless they took it off items entirely and it's just paragon now? Except you guys were saying it is gone from paragon even.

Hey, in-house 5v5 arams are hilarious

Well obviously they couldn't stand and fight in the barrels. But my point was they literally have run from the orcs for 2 movies straight. Actually, the barrels was the closest thing to a fight the dwarves had against the orcs. In Laketown they just get saved by Elves again (only a few dwarves...

Rayman Legacy/Origins are both great for 4-player controller fun (it's local so only one key needed, need tv/big screen + 4 controllers though). Both are usually on sale during Steam sales. At my last LAN party, League of Legends, Diablo 3, CS:GO, and some other military shooter (BF4 or...

I haven't played with him enough to say for sure, but I would say it's an either/or kind of thing with that and BOTRK, much like I was arguing for Lucian. Trinity does add a ton of useful stats and if they're team is NOT full of fatties, then I would probably go Trinity over BOTRK. Although if...

TF + BOTRK is always the same problem on a physical carry. It just doesn't SCALE well into late game. If you have TF, BOTRK, LW, that leave you one slot for either IE or Shiv, one slot for boots, one slot for a defensive item. IE and Shiv (or PD) scale so well on Yasuo it's pretty retarded not...

Character wipes aren't likely to stop for several months yet I imagine.

The only real problem I had was the added filler was a mix of cool background/lore/character stuff you normally wouldn't get out of the book and foofy pointless stuff. The whole Laketown bit was pretty meh and I would have preferred other ways of finally seeing the dwarves do shit besides the...

The only way to dumb cast his q is to click the button with the mouse I believe, kinda like Karthus/Cass q's.

I just got into the beta. Scared to start. Only reason I stopped playing Magic was financial, and now I have a job :P god help me if I figure out a way to play it at work (pretty sure it'd be really easy actually)

She'a still played as a support too. Was even used as support in some of the NACL or ESL matches last week (I forget which). The thing with supports is, the difference between pro game support gold and every other game support gold is still night and day somehow. I see supports in my games...

Is that Fallout 1 only? I know in FO2 you can trade with your goons and can give them behaviors to follow and such. I've only ever played FO1 like twice maybe, because FO2 is just so much better.

I don't want to be in the beta, I just want it to release sooner than 3 months+ from now :l

If Taric has 300 armor (that's a lot), he will deal 150 less damage with a full combo now. That's not particularly awful considering how stupid he has been since 3.14. The armor shred nerf is way worse arguably, since all his damage was magic it actually makes him less support-oriented. Much...

You can use Paypal to transfer $20 to the new card. If you do it correctly (get the account number and routing number for your serve account and use that in PP) it counts as direct deposit, and thus 10,000 RP. It has hit the league subreddit several times. The card is garbage aside from that...

Yea I've replayed FO2 so many times I just use a character editor to make it through the temple in record time now, then fix myself back to normal :P

I played FO2 again fairly recently (like a year ago?) and found it still very playable, but I hardly use followers in any game so that may be why. I had the shotgun guy and the deathclaw and I think that was it by the end.

I think it's giving them too much credit to say it was intentional like that. It sounds more like they were throwing their new found wealth around as part of their mass hiring process and didn't really know wtf they were doing. Good that they've changed things up, but for a job at that level...

That isn't that far fetched. There's tons of top military people that are idiots. TheMillennium Challengealone is evident of that.
