    DOTA 2

    I've been playing like two weeks now, but I had the most fun game yet this morning. I was Phantom Assassin...me and another dude were getting shut down at the bottom, having to run, back off, ran back to base, ended up dying a couple of times, and one of the other lanes wasn't faring much...

    DOTA 2

    (Newbie perspective, think I'm like 14 and 5 now.) I've had quite a bit of luck playing Io a few games now. I feel like I'm contributing a lot when I heal / mana up teammates. If all my items are up and I tether, you can get someone back in the fight quite fast, resulting in quite a few...

    DOTA 2

    Yeah, I felt like I wasn't doing anything, so I figured something was out of whack with what I was doing. So I'll probably not do that anymore for a while.

    DOTA 2

    Okay, I've got a question from a new player bracket perspective. (As stated a couple pages back I'm completely new to the game and genre, and I'm 10 and 4 right now.) Regarding "jungling," is there a point to this most of the time, or should it be reserved for very specific matchups at...

    DOTA 2

    I haven't been playing many games this year (at all, and in fact I had Steam uninstalled for about 5 months.) So I was getting bored a couple of nights ago, looked at Steam stats, saw 300k+ people were playing this, so I decided to give it a try. I've been reading about these types of games...

    Leisure Suit Larry reboot

    This Leisure Suit Larry game is out now, and it's fucking awesome. Lots of new interactions possible, great, corny jokes, silly humor...it's very well done. Anyone who is a fan of the old Sierra Games will like it. http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/0...arry-reloaded/

    Hotline Miami

    I liked it a lot. I really didn't think it was even that hard...some levels will seem impossible at first, but they're so small they're easy to master and quickly learn the enemy's hiding spots. Great music and art direction.

    True Blood

    It has better acting than True Blood!

    True Blood

    This show had a lot of promise with its outline and the fact it's on HBO, but its horribly acted and written. I finally stopped watching it after I believe around two episodes into last season. HBO for having so many great shows in this past and present...this one is a major embarrassment. I...

    Falling out of love with gaming

    I haven't played hardly any games this year. Completely uninstalled Steam early in the year. I don't see ever playing an MMO game again. I work 8 hours a day, I drive to the gym right after work, I go to a local park after that typically, and by the time I get home I've only got a few hours...

    Gun control

    That lower is, in fact, legally a gun. You cannot just manufacture them and sell them without the requisite FFL. Buying one from a gun store requires filling out a 4473 and NICS just like buying a complete gun.

    Well, now what?

    It's been an interesting year for me and gaming. I've probably played less than 30 hours of games since December. Not that I've ever been super addicted to games, but that's certainly the least amount I've played in a long time. I uninstalled Steam some time ago. I played WoW briefly last...

    Smartphones

    Anyone installed a custom ROM from XDA on their One yet? I'm not sure if I should even bother.

    Smartphones

    I got an HTC One this week. First new phone for me in three years I think, so it's a massive upgrade for me. I'm really liking it so far. I bought a case with it at the AT&T store, an Incipio one. I'm no expert on phones these days, but it's really great. The sound is amazing on this...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Well, let's not go too overboard at this point. When I read the words "your future wife" I had this weird surge go through me. Anyway...I'm gonna talk about some logistics with her tomorrow and we'll see what she has to say. At this point it's all up in the air where she's going to get a job...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Oh, good lord, I have a friend like that. His wife will call like 3 times between 9 PM and 12 AM if he's still out. And the funny thing is, he's this manly-man type dude who was once upon a time a minor league baseball prospect. And yet he still puts up with that shit every time I'm out with...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Ditto, but I don't expect any more than that. I'm ultra-mega-super-casual (not in a guild, don't even have a single person on my friends list) so I just have fun "progressing" as far as I can until I get bored of it. I can say I got my money's worth leveling and tanking a monk up to level 90...

    Wrap cat shit in a box, leave it on the tailgate of your truck while shopping for someone to steal it. It'd be more fun if you could see the results, but still. Stolen from Arfcom.

    Dexter

    Oh. That sort of thing usually takes a while after a season ends. Usually close to a year after. See here, it says for the past seasons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dexter_episodes

    Dexter

    What do you mean downloaded? As in pirating them? TV shows are released onto USENET and BT literally like minutes after the episode is over.

    Dexter

    Just watched the finale. YES, DEAD LAGUERTA. YES. YES. YES. NO MORE "ANHEL." YES. Seriously though, they really do put some corny ass plot devices in Dexter episodes. I mean, fuck. The whole GPS thing was just dumb as shit, the no backup, the list goes on. I still liked this season...

    Well, now what?

    I never last with MMOs either. I get bored easy with them. Rift, a few weeks (made it to like level 30 something.) WoW, play for a month or so after an expansion, cancel, then come back later for another week or two. AoC, couple of weeks. WAR was a couple of weeks. Even Guildwars 2, my...

    Hardest Boss Fights (No MMO shit please)

    I sucked at console games. I mean, the old, hard ones where you couldn't save. I used to beat the shit out of my NES and SNES, those things are really tough. The hardest game I ever beat, which I don't think is probably considered particularly difficult, was Bionic Commando. For...

    Guild Wars 2

    Somewhat tempting (I quit at level 73 after about two / three weeks of playing.) However, I don't dislike the game, and there's no reason for me not to wait and see what else they do with it. If it were a subscription game I'd be all over the refund, but it's not.

    Go ..l.. yourself. I'm out.

    It's always attractive when men in their mid 30's make a thread like this. Does anyone legitimatelynotthink something is actually wrong with the dude?

    Leisure Suit Larry reboot

    Neat. If Al Lowe is involved in it, I'll buy it. I love the old Sierra crew and (nearly) everything they made. Too bad Ken Williams got out of the business. So, so many hours playing the "Quest" games. Ken's living it up these days in early retirement, sailing all over the world...
