    League Of Legends

    I prefer normal. I want competitive games, but not the compulsion to win at all costs, and devote myself to achieving a rating/ranking. I'm too competitive. In a game where, its always ranked, its kindof, "be #1, or force myself to not play at all". If I played ranked, I wouldn't be...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    some of you guys are obviously just popping in, and not reading any of the information posted, or video's sourced. artificial does not magically make things harder for your body to manage. There is no magic involved. HFCS is fructose-glucose in variant ratios. mostly 55-45%...

    The Superpower Thread

    Superpower- comic book super intelligence. "9-12th level intellect" Being smart in comics makes you instantly adapt at robotics, genetics, sociology, physics, chemistry, etc all at once, it seems. If you are Reed Richards/Lex Luthor smart, secondary factors will come with ease. Immortality...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    except.. theres not really. honey is fructose-glucose 55 in water to form a syrup. +sucrose and impurities.

    The Horror Movie Thread

    yeah, thats pretty holy shit. great shot. The woman in black however, the ghost is in every scene. They don't have that tense moment where oops, just ice melting. its the ghost every time. Its so predictable. The long shot mentioned. The ghost is there the entire time. The shot depends...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    huh.. So HFCS is basically honey? yeah, I'm inclined to say the HFCS thing is a myth. its simply an issue of raw amounts of it in so many foods.

    League Of Legends

    1000-1400ish is where it will be the worst. 1200 is where you start. "All players start ranked play with an Elo of 1200 for their first 10 games at level 30" This creates an obvious situation. 1000-1400 games will have the greatest likely hood to have players who do not match there proper...

    League Of Legends

    elo is based off large samples. if you do not provide large samples of games, then you are subject to streaks. you can not get an accurate average rating. Elo does not work for people that play sporadically. Its like playing 5 games of blackjack or roulette. Your sample is fucked. Play...

    League Of Legends

    Elo hell is largely a factor of how much you play. 5-10 games a day, you won't hit elo hell. You'll grind right through any ups and downs. The streamers never see it because of this. they play too much. A good casual player that only gets in 5-6 games a week, will get raped by it. Each game...

    Do you have health insurance?

    i pay out of pocket for dental work as well. I originally dropped it back when I was working a more normal job, and the owner of the business stopped paying for dental, and tried swapping to an employee group plan, where we paid for it. I opted out as, the insurance cost more then the cleanings...

    The Horror Movie Thread

    I was not a fan of, The Woman in Black. I felt it was just jumpscare after jumpscare after jumpscare. No moments of quiet unease. Every scene was, omg is there going to be a ghost in that shadow? yep there is a ghost in that shadow. Capped off with the MC doing some crazy out of...

    The Horror Movie Thread

    yeah, Nightmare doesnt hold up all that well I feel. Its tough to watch now. Netflix also has a ton of amazing foreign language horror movies. I've watched a bunch, I'll see if I can make a list at some point. The main issue is, I can't work and read subtitles at the same time. haha...

    The Horror Movie Thread

    yeah, that was what I liked about it. As I was mentioning in the post. Each story is kindof "what"? Not perfect, but really each story did a great job of being unique. (except the surrounding story, which was pretty typical)

    Mama

    yeah. I think his work, works much better when coming from the fantasy side. Things like pans labyrinth which is fantasy first, but crazy dark. Most fairytales are pretty dark in the first place. But his horror stuff tends to get a bit silly, and just doesn't have that feeling of unease...

    [manga] Everything Else

    don't bother trying to use logic or anything with fairytale. Anything goes at any time, there is no real basis of continuity. Or that is the continuity. Anything can happen. (I am not stating that as a criticism in this case.)

    League Of Legends

    they've gone through revisions. There was a time when GP was ALL about 1 shotting with parley. And kat was primarily AD with BB and lotus being her only real attacks. New league stuff looks great. I must stay away from that. haha.

    The Horror Movie Thread

    yeah, that was a really nice surprise, when I've been going through all of netflix's horror movies. I liked that one alot. I really dig movies that are based on old world stuff. Curses, fae, unseeli, changlings, trolls, gnomes, forest spirits/gods, etc. Its nice to see movies pay homage to...

    The Netflix Thread

    yeah, got around to Iron sky. Got to admit, not quite what I expected. Didn't hate it at all. so silly. Unicorn City was ok. It kindof bugged me the main girl was entirely too attractive. It really fucked with the narrative for the early parts. I don't care how big of a geek she is...

    Path of Exile

    The next step is to disgaea this shit up. Maps are a good idea. but know whats even better? Having to go INTO your skill gems and power them up by beating random generated maps in them. Taking Disgaea's item world and sticking it into a d2 clone or poe would be amazing.

    Why hide the screenshots and rickshaw forums?

    its like we've become those mmos we hate!! Placing up barriers of entry, or sub fees.

    Path of Exile

    yeah, the shop is pretty much literally the hordradic cube. PoE does stand out. First, it far and away "feels" like a sequel to D2. Yet, at the same time it also takes some of the biggest leaps in design. which is pretty remarkable. The game took bigger risks, and feels more like a...

    Do you have health insurance?

    Thought I would update. 3 months since start of this. $3067 out of pocket. to tell me, no don't have cancer. cyst is still there, and might still have to have surgery. Which of course would be more like 10-30k or more. Consider, as stated in jobs thread. Self employed artist...

    Mama

    yeah, his horror is a bit weak. While his fantasy work is amazing. tinged with alot of dark elements. which, he only produced this. Shit, with the advertising, I didnt even realize that. Dont be afraid of the dark, he co-wrote the screenplay adaptation.
  32. Caliane

    Well, now what?

    yeah, I feel that is completely wrong as well. Right off the bat, suggesting UO and EQ weren't built in the effort to make money is just stupid. Sub fees started for a reason right from the start.

    teachers have enough things on their plate. They do not need to be adding maintaining and storing guns to that list. Let guards handle it.

    Was looking for some numbers of gun related deaths in schools, but found this pdf on children gun deaths in general. http://www.childrensdefense.org/chil...-guns-2012.pdf Most interesting I thought was the shift from suicides to homicides. Adults, suicides are the largest # of gun...

    Torchlight 2

    no. it is. I'm preferring PoE LARGELY due to Torchlights mp grouping being ass. I'm not sure why they are dragging their feet with these poor MP designs. From what I can tell, the guys here are the ones that designed D2's battlenet in the first place.

    seriously. everyone wards. how you expect the bot support to ward top for you, is just idiotic. or expect the support, to ward river, etc alone, is just stupid. Jungle is the most capable of warding. due to safety and mobility. I was at a point where it was pretty rare for me to hear...

    are you suggesting there is a problem with the safety of children at schools?

    Gun control

    The real danger here is: Teachers are fucktards. Think of all the times news stories come out about teacher-student sex. or students finding alcohol teachers have, or porn on PC's, etc. Teachers carrying, is another gun that can find its way into a students hand. A guard, well that is...

    got a chance to check out dota2 finally. Man, lol is so much better. So much dumb legacy shit from wc3, that should have been removed by any sensible designer. Fucking useless UI as well. So cluttered.
