    Can the US just ban Celsius from the world please?

    That's...not what I was saying. Obviously you are going to be more familiar with the one you use all your life. The scaling on Fahrenheit is more applicable to human experience. The only true benefit Celcius provides is freezing at 0. That is a good marker for a relevant data point. The effort...

    I'm a grinch and you should neg me.

    Why would I use reverse pyschology? If I wanted +'s I'd just post in the give me a + thread. Oh and people should tell me in their neg or a post here if they want a + or - in return. Thank you for your support.

    I don't like having Internets because everyone has them now and it's not cool. Please neg me so that I'm a special snowflake.

    Can the US just ban Celsius from the world please?

    Why? I don't agree with your suggestion that a scale that uses ~40 degrees to differentiate between the realm of habitable temperatures is better than a scale that uses ~100. It's not simply a matter of familiarity. I know because I can see the advantage to the metric system for measurements of...

    League Of Legends

    Well no they don't. LoL roster's cycle much faster which could further illustrate my point. The reason it doesn't refute my point is the fact that NFL rosters change has nothing to do with the barrier to entry into LoL. Did you see my edit regarding the medical profession? It might serve to...

    League Of Legends

    No it isn't, you are just failing to understand usage of the term. I could be the most talented Surgeon in the world, but I can't enter into the field of professional medicine over night, it has a fairly high barrier to entry in the form of accreditation. Nothing like that exists for LoL. Again...

    The high school and NCAA qualify as a farm system in regards to this conversation. We're mincing words on the details though, the system by which you become a professional athlete for a conventional sport is noticeably more complex which I think you already admit. You are getting hung up on my...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I dunno, on my desktop monitor I think the PS4 version clearly looks better. Which is odd because I don't think my work monitor is 1080p.

    League Of Legends

    The barrier for entry for someone who has the talent to be a professional is low, compared to conventional atheletes who have to partake in some sort of farm system. If you are a pro caliber player it's very easy to make yourself noticeable.

    League Of Legends

    Once again, the barrier for entry is so low that the players wield fairly little power. The only thing you have to do to establish yourself as a dominant player is to actually be a dominant player. The only thing you do to be a successful broadcaster is establish yourself as a dominant player...

    Can the US just ban Celsius from the world please?

    I understand that. Here in the US you can switch a thermostat over to Celcius if you so desire, but you still can only set it to integers so you loose out some ability to fine tune your temperature setting. If you could do a .5 Celsius setting that would completely negate the problem to which...

    Can the US just ban Celsius from the world please?

    Do household thermostats in Celsius utilizing countries allow for set temperature in the decimal range? There is a perceptible difference between a 1 degree Fahrenheit adjustment so broadening that range even further does seem problematic.

    FF9 was crap too, but not nearly as bad as 8. Why did 9 suck? The last boss/ending. ARGUMENT OVER

    Why would you go soundbar over stereo though? I can see why someone picks a soundbar over the hassle of surround sound, but I don't get why people drop straight from surround sound to soundbar. Is having 2 front speakers in your watching space that unappealing?

    League Of Legends

    To be fair, Riot can do plenty of completely justifiable things that sends Gamers flying off the handle, so to say that they messed up by not understanding gamers is unfair. Gamers get pissed all the time about shit that they are completely in the wrong about.

    League Of Legends

    Another huge difference is professional sports have licensing agreements in place with broad distributors(tv networks) and franchises that front the majority of the cost of actual play. LoL has a minimal entry to become a broadcaster, all you need is a bandwith and a computer. We are so far...

    League Of Legends

    The issue is the overreach. It's perfectly okay for Riot to say don't stream any other Mobas, considering yes that is a competing product. To broaden that to many other Esport games which aren't directly in competition is a bit too broad. I wouldn't go pitchfork yet though, it's pretty new...

    League Of Legends

    League is not getting stale, it's the biggest e-sport out there by a wide margin. The fact that they feel the need to flex this muscle is a little astounding though. I can understand requiring your "professionals" to not stream other MOBAs, but Hearthstone?

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a pedo is Gaige?

    Even if that were true, and it's pointless to try to dispute, your original statement doesn't make sense. The age of first pregnancy is going up, not down.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a pedo is Gaige?

    I'm 100% certain that is NOT why "America is hitting the shitter" since our age of first pregnancy is higher than it's ever been.

    Falling out of love with gaming

    Fuck you hipster gamer. Sometimes mainstream games are mainstream because they are amazing. I've honestly gotten to the point where it's rare I really enjoy any game sub 90 rating. They seldom capture my attention enough.

    Well they've really changed everything about them considering they aren't stones at all. The Tesseract is really a cosmic cube, but they've merged it into the space gem so whatever. Some wavering is forgiven for making great movies. My guess is whatever they are now, they will eventually...

    Ever, Jane: A New MMO Set In The World Of Jane Austen.

    Bros I'm really hoping they do this game proper and have 12 yr old age of consent as in the days of Jane Austen. This is finally going to be the MMO that they get right.
