    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    There's no putting aside the fact that Liverpool have bought talent, not proven A-list material. None of the players we have signed would start for Bayern/Barca/Real/City/Chelsea. If even 3 of them live up to their potential it would be a great summer of signings, but you never know. Aside from...

    STEAM HAS A NEW ICON

    Are you for real? HL2 and the episodes were fantastic, far better than the sour taste left by the last section of HL. They also ended on a pretty steep cliffhanger. I'm as skeptical as anyone that HL3 will come out in any reasonable time frame, but I'll be fanboy gushing hard when it's out...

    Just in: Suarez ruling changed after the appeal. Apparently he can now train and play friendlies during the suspension period. The former is a good thing, the latter is questionable, but who cares really. Good for him. I'm rather doubtful this would have happened if he was still at Liverpool...

    DE:HR was great. I did put some points in combat skills alongside the stealth, so I didn't have big issues with the bosses.

    MTG thread

    I haven't touched MTGO in years, but it looks like they removed leagues? (If that's the right name, the sealed events where you could play your matches any time within X days.) Why would they do something like that? The #1 reason I, as an old MTG fanatic, would be more likely to play Hearthstone...

    Variable monster levels would make it even easier to do things out of order, which messes up the story at some points. Case in point: I defeated Bracchus before I killed one of his lieutenants. Seeing that lieutenant raised by Bracchus "to take revenge" was sort of weird when I had never...

    Doesn't the skill/stat book vendor reset her inventory every time you level? I read something about that, but havent actually checked since the game is easy enough at this point anyway.

    The draw's biggest news story is Celtic might go through despite getting beaten 6-1 by Legia Warszaw in the qualifiers. Legia brought on a player with 3 minutes to go in the second leg who was supposed to be out with suspension. Now, the thing is hehadsat out the required number of games, but...

    LFC won't fall off a cliff, but on paper the first XI team is arguably weakened from the end of last season, while Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U are strengthened. City pretty much status quo.

    DOTA 2

    While I agree with those supports being good, several of them are rather hard to play. With Shaker it's really easy to harm your team more than you help, and if you miss two early fissures you're worthless for the first 5 minutes. Maiden is mechanically easy, but the low movement speed makes her...

    In the first chapter, I did everything and pretty much every encounter was level appropriate or 1 level below me. The boss fight you mention was pretty dodgy as I hadn't done the eastern area first, but I got it first try by

    You know what he meant, and you choose to argue semantics instead. You could easily make the argument that Man U weren't "rebuilding" either, considering they had the same squad that won the PL by a ton of points the previous season. The point is that the key competitors, including Chelsea...

    Stop being dense, every single other challenger had issues last season. Chelsea lacked a decent striker, Arsenal had no backup striker and were fucked by injuries, City had a new manager (though otherwise solid) and Man U was all sorts of fucked up. You don't have to go full retard whenever...

    There are two telegraphed quests out of town. "Beach to the northwest" and "Golem in cave to the north". Those are actually both on the same path, but going Northwest is the "right" starting direction. Yes, it's unecessarily hard to figure that out.

    Half of all wodota clips are people doing armlet toggling while being extremely lucky and enemies failing hard at bursting. Just like that clip. He is lucky as shit his opponents kept beating him down to <50 HP instead of landing a single 400+ damage burst. It's cool to look at, and he's...

    They kept doing that to me with the eastern gate forever, so I didn't open it until I had cleared the rest of the chapter. At that point I had already killed the eastern gate area's boss in his reincarnated version before I met him in his first version. Still, the guard kept telling me I was too...

    Pet Pal is a great talent, it adds fun content to the game.

    I had a miserable time with this the first 3-4 hours. I'm a chronic min/maxer, and having 200 choices available from the get go just makes me go numb trying to figure out what to play. In the D&D games I knew the system and what my choices meant, but I was blind here. I spent 1-2 hours in...

    Or you just don't drop your items. It's supposed to be a risky move, just like dropping your stat items before using flat regen items. If you're afraid of snipes, just don't drop the items and wait a couple extra seconds for the regen instead.

    It would be a shitstorm of proportions every time a fine was handed out, but I think it would be good for the game. Some cases would be ridiculously hard to call though. Look at Shaqiri in OT in Switzerland's final match: He jukes to the left with the ball, a player slides in to tackle him...

    I can't be arsed to go through 360 pages to find it, but we compared theoretical prize pools to sports events like ATP Tour a while back, and they are generally far more evenly spread. In a sport where prize money is pretty much all you get, it's not healthy for the sport to give the first...

    Also, Demon's Souls has by far the worst case of "fuck you and the 30 minutes you spent getting to this boss" in the series. Some of those levels are fucking loooong.
