    I rarely buy anything other than brown boots on necro unless it's getting late and I buy travs, ha.

    DOTA 2

    What supports are you playing? I think some are (barring specific matchups or more unforgiving skill supports) simply more impactful on the whole. Necro is my go to for winning, and is overall the #1 most winning hero in Dota, which honestly I don't even really comprehend why. Heals + sadist...

    DOTA 2

    Back up to 3100+ mmr again after being as low as 2400 something (and as high as mid 3000 something.) I'm still chiefly Necrophosing my way to victory. Been playing about one year now. I think I've got a really good sense for offensive and defensive ward placement, which I believe helps me win...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Goddamn, Eric Clapton? Really? Shitty about your family dynamic. To be honest, the exact first thing I thought when I read that was "She's using any attempt she can to talk to me again, despite the fact she's said "I won't send you another message," twice. Time will tell if she contacts...

    Oh, come now! Everyone does this. Even my last long term relationship admitted Googling me. I also have a super common first and last name (example: top 5 surname in the English speaking world.) She even lamented the fact she couldn't find anything about me. She was, as far as I could tell...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Yeah, I gotcha. That might be the logic she's using. The thing is too, though, she didn't say it was broken into...she said Google sent a warning for attempted account access. I'm familiar with that alert, because some Chinese tried accessing my gmail a while back, and the Google alert very...

    Oh, I have no interest in dating someone with mental illness, so I assure you, this won't go any further. I had been ignoring her, then she sends me an e-mail accusing me of trying to access her Gmail account, which I don't even know of (we e-mailed on her ISP e-mail.) Her behavior is very...

    I'm not looking for sympathy, I wasn't close to her, so no hard feelings on my end with her. She doesn't have bi-polar, she has BPD (borderline personality disorder.) It was just a story, that's all.

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Not a "girl who broke your heart" issue, but I guess this fits into the thread for lack of a better place. We didn't get close enough for any heartbreak. I went out with this woman for a few weeks recently. Early 30's, very nice style and clothes, petite, great skin, very pretty face ( but...

    So, I am finally crawling back up to 3k MMR, after having been as high as (3.4k I think?) and down as low as 2.5 if not 2.4k a couple of months ago. I'm at 2.9k again today. Pretty much completely as Necrophos, although I did start playing Undying again in the past day with good results (I...

    The Wolf Among Us

    Just finished the final episode. For sure, as Sidian said, the first three were way more engaging and interesting. By all means I enjoyed the whole thing, but episodes 4 and 5 were lackluster. The ending was nonsense.

    DOTA 2

    Don't those solutions point to a greater problem with Tinker? So, to counter Tinker, you need: Very specific heroes, or he'll fuck you. Ergo, any team that goes up against Tinker MUST strictly choose certain heroes or the game will likely be lost. That's lame. Oh, Tinker didn't pick...

    DOTA 2

    Says everyone who spectates high level MMR games (talking about the pub games at night.) Now bearing in mind I've only played DOTA a year and I'm no expert: Everyone says "but but, counter pick him!" But people DO counter pick him. We're talking the 5k+ mmr games here, I have to assume...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I bought Payday 2. Which is cool, but after reading about it, apparently there is no cheat protection. Ergo, like every other game I join has someone who can / does teleport from the objective back to the van, instantly open safes, etcetera. It's a PvE game with a local save, with these...

    Any way to stop websites like Radaris.com or Intelius.com?

    This is one reason I'm happy in this modern age to have one of the most common first and last names in the English speaking world. You can't find shit about me just by Googling by name, because there are probably 100,000 other people out there with my name. My girlfriend asked me once if I...

    DOTA 2

    Yeah, now that I read about it more, I can see where the damage increase isn't that huge. I have had a couple of specific moments where it did help us win the game against overfarmed carries, though. You're probably right, though, about it overall not being worth it. That's an item I think...

    DOTA 2

    I'm clawing my way up pretty surely, solely playing as Necrophos. 10 wins out of 13 games now. Shutting down the lane early has a big impact I think. I rarely ever get pushed out and it usually results in two people getting no early last hits. I always go brown boots - scepter - then...

    Anyone played these custom maps yet? I finally got accepted in after a queue to try them. D2Moddin Alpha Access There's Pudge Wars and some kind of CTF map and I think one other. It's alright but nothing amazing. I think with some refinement they'll be fun. Edit: Just played the...

    DOTA 2

    Here's my breakdown for all time heroes played. Like I said, I always play support. Don't even have a carry in the top 10. CM = 61 percent win, highest # of plays. Rubick = 58% Necro = 54% KOTL = 52% Venge (support most of the time) = 41% Lich = 57% Undying = 61% (I had a 10 game...

    DOTA 2

    I've been playing about a year now. I started out from my first 10 games at like 2500 MMR. Hovered around 3200 a while, then went up to 3700. I was at 3700 just a few months after starting. Never playing anything but support. I had multiple 9 and 10 game winning streaks as support. Never...

    DOTA 2

    I started playing this again recently. I was at one point 3700 MMR. I am now 2500. Don't really care per se, other than the fact my teams seem to be getting dumber, which makes playing less fun and more aggravating. I think the problem is I only play support, so no matter how good I am I...

    The Wolf Among Us

    Yep, I was going to say the same thing yesterday when I played it. Nothing all that compelling, no hard choices, and it seemed fairly short to boot. Hopefully it wraps up nicely.

    Watch Dogs

    Agreed. In the few hours I bothered playing it, bugs were never my issue. The game is just BORING. Can they really not come up with better than the utterly and totally wooden characters and lame, cliched plot? The hacking is shit, interactions with the environment and people are lame, AI...

    Smite

    Some of the gods are rather amusing...dunno if it's just because I'm new and in a low MMR or something, but I'm getting a lot of like, 18 and 1, 19 and 3 games, and I'm completely new so it's not like I'm greatly skilled or anything. I notice I'm playing against a lot of people with the "stock"...

    This game is ridiculously fun. I played it for like 45 minutes for the first time and then bought the $30 god pack thing. Never even heard of it until someone bumped this thread.

    Watch Dogs

    I noticed the same thing, it made no sense. It's also the first time you realize you can't hide from the police even if they don't actually see you run around eight corners and then hide in a back yard.

    Watch Dogs

    I played it for another couple of hours and did some more main storyline missions. Yeah, it never becomes more interesting. The cops are just annoying as fuck, the characters are wooden as fuck, the story is old and tired. "Hacking" is lame, the side missions aren't fun, none of it is...

    Watch Dogs

    I'll give it some more time, but after just jacking around for a couple of hours this isn't particularly interesting to me. Cliched revenge plot, stereotypical characters, the "hacking" isn't that exciting (so far.) Again, admittedly I haven't played it much yet, so my opinion may change...

    Killing Floor 2

    Nice! I had fun with KF, especially on modded servers with 20+ players where you could level up beyond the original game and get bonuses. Incidentally, I've always wanted a multiplayer FPS game that revolved around building defensive positions, except more complex than that KF is (i.e...

    DOTA 2

    Roshan kill with a mud golem and Aghs lich ult. It'd probably never happen in a game, but funny. It'd be amusing to be teamfighting with the entire two teams visible then see "RADIANT HAS KILLED ROSHAN!"

    Finally, someone gets it. Sometimes it's best to let someone else "win," especially if you cared about them. If I damaged her in some way, and my apology eased her pain in any way, it's fine. She "wins." I lose nothing. Like you said, apologies AND forgiving someone is for you and the other...
