    DOTA 2

    Yeah but his 2-14-4 is impactful when 7 of those 14 deaths would have been on a core but were instead on a support pulling in 200 GPM and dirt poor. He is constantly in the right position to tank smoke ganks or provide an escape for a core that needs to stay alive. That's a pretty great skill...

    Obduction - Spiritual successor to Myst

    I will also add that so far the puzzles and mechanics don't seem to be anywhere near as involved or deep as Myst and Riven. Everything is pretty straightforward. It is kind of disappointing on that level, but may change, hopefully.

    Obduction - Spiritual successor to Myst

    Played for about 4 hours today. It is pretty good so far, about what you would expect from a Cyan / Myst / Puzzle. I like they've kept the same live action actors. There are two parts where we laughed because a millennial playing it would be like "how do you use this phone, rotary?" And the...

    Liquor - What you drinking

    That sounds strange for a hot day. I like dark rum and Barritts Ginger Beer for a Dark and Stormy in the Fall when it is thunder storming here.

    Liquor - What you drinking

    Monopolowa is great potato vodka, especially for the price. For more traditional I'm still 100% Tito's and Deep Eddy. There is a more local brand called Smithworks I also like and then a really local distillery called Brandon's. Cooranbong is pretty good grape vodka, Bombora isn't bad either. I...

    DOTA 2

    It is always important to determine how drunk I am before we play, although I am getting more responsible and letting Rethan know ahead of time or declining group invites!

    DOTA 2

    Abyssal build up was just changed last patch too. It used to be much more of a DPS item using Demon Edge rather than the Vanguard. The reduced the cooldown of the active stun as well. Makes building in to it a little nicer for some as well.

    The Shannara Chronicles

    Made me think of Legend of the Seeker and how I wish it had been on Showtime. There was some A+ quality there also.

    Time Magazines' top 50 video games of all time

    That was the 2011 numbers I was looking at. This year dota was $10M to the champs with a $20.7M overall prize pool. The distribution leaves a lot to be desired, especially for like the 8 - 16 teams. But based on the recent LoL drama it doesn't much look liked the stipend means any more to...

    I had to take about 14 different Ethics, Sexual Harassment, Inclusion / Diversity Training courses today for my new job. The only thing I came away with is that: DIVERSITY IS AWESOME AND TOTALLY LEADS TO MORE $$$$. There was literally a question that asked, "Does including diversity mean...

    Mine are the same with the exception of being 1440p, LOD = High, and VSync = Off. Maybe I'll hit the lottery and get some crashes today!

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

    Will have to check when I get home from work and will let you know. I didn't fiddle with much because all I had heard about was the MXAA thing and the rest defaulted to high / whatever and the game worked without issue.

    DOTA 2

    I was going to say something like an LCS could be beneficial, while developed around the existing culture and way dota operates, but then I read this: League of Legends esports is in chaos over low pay, untimely patches, and more What a mess. We've talked about tournament payout for teams /...

    DOTA 2

    I just think it is systematic of a whole bunch of issues and overall age of 'professional' eSports. Age of the players, maturity, ego, lack of proper managers, team owners / organizations, players union, constant change of roster rules, and other stuff. The amount of money entering in to the...

    DOTA 2

    Alliance was hinting at some changes, not roster related though. Not sure if it'll be coaching or player position, something else. I thought EG said no changes, at least Zai said he'd be playing with Sumail and he said he wasn't leaving EG. RTZ supposed to be on some new NA team? The thread...

    Keyboards & Mice

    Oops meant Corsair, it is a K70 variant that definitely has a tactile / audible click prior to bottoming out but I'll check for sure when I get home. Damn this new job for blocking this site and having to do this crap on my phone. Was just leaning towards a DAS MX brown to try out.

    Keyboards & Mice

    I think we had this question on the old board but I'll trust it here: What mech keyboard are people using at work? My Logitech at home would probably be too loud for the cube setting (it is eerily quiet, I'm against the windows with only 1 person on the side of me), so a decent build with a...

    Finally 3* all the WR line and got the alternate set. Lesh one took 5 tries with 2 win / 3 losses and on the one I got still had to do a good amount of jungle farming lifesteal with armlet to keep my health down. What a PITA.

    It really was good. There were a lot of takeaways I was trying to explain to my wife and then eventually looked up the Wiki entry, which used much more better language to describe the topics I was attempting.

    DOTA 2

    It depends based on your numbers. It is 1 game your first time then like +2 games if you abandon while in low priority, or maybe if you keep getting reporter. I've only been in once and like above it was due to power outage. The more games you play or the longer you go without low priority you...

    Yeah, basically. You get Low P for having too many reports, too many abandons. It is a specific game mode (single draft only) and you have to win to get out of it.

    I just wish they'd include a 'mute all' button so you didn't have to hit 18 tiny circles that have varying hit boxes. Purge said on his stream we're getting the updated post game UI with next week's patch with Underlord.

    DOTA 2

    I got the 3 star shackle done last night, unfortunately I was way too drunk to also do the Leshrac over, but the first time a few weeks ago that one was miserable. Rushing octarine and being completely useless to the team for the first part of the game.
