    Project Eternity - Spiritual Successor to Planescape/Icewind Dale/Baldurs Gate games

    The run animations looking like that is part of the charm isn't it? I thought it looked pretty great.

    Witcher 3

    They love the PC masterrace, and hence create their shit to be bad ass as possible, and yeah that looks amazing.

    DOTA 2

    When you only have 4 teams in the playoff bracket and the rest of the live tournament was best of 1 I think the bo5 finals was fine, the bigger issue was all the technical issues with the internet or hardware. Which may have been caused by the storm they discussed and made the live event drag...

    DOTA 2

    Its not the same roster as then, Sylar of LGD is their 1 role player, and RoTK and Super (who were on DK and replaced by mushi/iceiceice). Fy and Fenrir have been with them for a while though, FY is playing out of his mind right now.

    DOTA 2

    I don't know how many folks been watching eastern dota - but Vici Gaming is absolutely ruining nerds right now. They are just in a fucking crazy destruction mode - their supports are bar none and Rotk is drafting hard. They have just dominated DK/IG/LGD.cn in different events - sina and D2L...

    Hearthstone

    Don't you think the manabase will have the largest influence on card design though? I'm not sure I trust their ability to make interesting cards that don't break their core rules. Without a secondary resource at least, can they actually make cards that have meaningful tradeoff to add a...

    Hearthstone

    What are opinions on having your mana base be guaranteed and capped at 10. Obviously its at the core of Hearthstone at this point - but down the road does a guaranteed colorless manabase limit the game in a meaningful way compared to possible alternatives? Given the fact that it caps out at...

    Hail the master race - Steam hits 7 million concurrent users

    By playing dota 2 you create money for valve. Item Drops -> Sold on Market -> Valve makes money on every transaction. Even if those individuals never buy anything valve makes money.

    DOTA 2

    The in game ground level chase cam really takes admiring the in game cosmetics to another level. Clever ploy by valve.

    DOTA 2

    I always find each big version change, to be a nice refreshing change in the game. 6.79 truly changed lane dynamic in pub dota for both the offlane and safelane. And as pyros said - there have been a lot of things added or tweaked in substantial ways. Necrobook hasn't been a good item for a...

    DOTA 2

    How does having items that change your position, circumvent positioning. Dota is built around its item shop, not its hero skills. Its an ITEM not a skill and is a way for all players to separate themselves. Its not pick specific. DK could have made 4 force staffs, they didn't. Plenty...

    DOTA 2

    I think you mistake what I mentioned, and I'm not sure your point, no one in the world is equally proficient at all heroes. If the skill gap in a stack is wide enough, if you don't pick AP, half the games you will lose based on hero pool. You need either heroes that the best players can do...

    DOTA 2

    If you are playing in a variable skill stack, AP is the only mode you can play outside of like Captains mode where you can give yourself a good chance to win. Solo queue w/e you're rolling the dice anyways. SD is the worst with no swaps (for a group).

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    That's the file and there isn't a particularly quick way to do it other than changing the names unless you find some script or something online that someone has made. You really only need to touch the last names so they keep their country flavor with the first. It takes a little while to do...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    Beagle - the dude in the video is really quite good at EU - he did an awesome series on ironman impossible but gave it up part way through they were super enjoyable watches as he edited them down to take out all the blank turns with little or no action while scouting the map safely. I hope he...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    Sometimes you need a little luck to get the classic + ironman games started - despite your best intentions you can still miss some high % shots that lead to casualties even with making sure you always have that backup plan (nades) to cover any bad streaks. If you customize your soldier last...

    I think both of them just have a higher gear of playing them effectively, I will say they are both pretty amazingly interesting and different from the rest of the cast.

    DOTA 2

    Plus sockets, recipes, reclassed items and coach mode (you can queue with someone (or a party) and more or less be their overlord and draw shit on the map and chat with them privately. Storms Remnants now have like 7 random looks where he's striking kungfu poses.

    League Of Legends

    Everytime dota 2 comes up you post some stupid generalization that "every dota player is x". I'm sure you haven't spent any time playing it and have no basis for the comparison as you just recently started league. Your key talking point is denying, which to be honest is as annoying as any...

    League Of Legends

    They are just having a harder time designing champions that don't break the notion of what a champion in league should be capable of doing. They've more or less decided that global reach skills are a no go and most heroes with a global reach skill are some of the originals most inspired by...

    Call of Duty : Ghost

    You're right but only because of the realistic skin. Quake you get railguns - they never miss weapons only have bullet spread if its designed regardless of player movement. CoD is skinned with real weapons - so there is bullet spread and sight aiming and some movement penalty. But when...

    Call of Duty : Ghost

    CoD games are closer to an arcade shooter in a realistic skin than a partial simulation like Battlefield. So if you like a bit faster gameplay like found in the Quake style multiplayer they can be a nice change of pace. I personally dislike CoD because it tries to be a little bit of both...

    Mannerisms are what I feel he is most deficient with. And so on and so forth. But the voice itself I agree is good. I think his intro/outro stuff is real professional to sponsors.

    DOTA 2

    Have you watched Na'vi? Na'vi has lost some quick games. They draft some of the most bizarre lineups in grand finals compared to just about any other team out there. They experiment a lot more. Not every experiment is a success? LGD.cn at TI3 was the opposite of Navi, they drafted the...

    DOTA 2

    Right, but maybe they want to expand what they can do - and until they play them in live games perhaps as a team they have a difficult time simulating game conditions in practice matches. It may never work, but it just might be another tool in their arsenal. I'd rather see creative crash...

    DOTA 2

    If you're gonna push the patch now's the time to dick around with drafts, and if you don't draft wacky in tournaments you won't actually see if it will really work. Not like Na'vi need to win the money from these tourneys they cleared 800k in august they have the luxury of trying new things...

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    Do keep in mind that in BF3/4 that when you are revived it does not add a death to your total even though another player gets a kill. This can distort KDR's in a meaningful way if you're trying to use it as a benchmark for your play. An organized squad can create some obscene KDR on the...

    Hearthstone

    I just can't get how disconnected you are from all the other players. And I wish there was some mechanic that allowed for card play during your opponents turn. I realize a lot of people are loving this, but if you've ever drafted in MTG at all does this do it for you? The strategy in...

    DOTA 2

    Well Zed is a reasonably new champion - and Emberspirit is one of the last added to dota (6.73) - The wiki says Feak left the dota map at 6.01. I just found it odd that they both had the teleport to clone skill and nothing more. I'm was aware of all the early heroes in both hon/lol as being...

    DOTA 2

    So is it just me or does ember seem to have some skills that Zed in League has? Zed came out a year later by patch notes. I've never seen ember in action, but he can trade places with his spirits? All I did was read the descriptions sounds pretty cool.
