    DOOM

    You have some serious prescription rose colored glasses if you remember Doom 3 as being "good".

    Had just heard about this, not seen the video until now. It looks a lot more like DS than I had expected. Note: This is a good thing.

    DOTA 2

    Navi hasnt played a competitive match in weeks, and they certainly haven't been training with Puppey and Kuro in the EU Hub faffing about. Unless SSBM counts as training. Contrast that with Rox.KIS who just finished the most important tournament of the year (for them), and I'd be shocked if Navi...

    - Queue up 10 times until you find a pub game where you don't have to fight a teammate for mid - Deal tons of annoying damage by last hitting creeps with enemy behind them, then surprise the fuck out of opponent by invis dodging / refraction negating all his damage when he invariably decides to...

    DOTA 2

    It seems weird to pocket a strat until you are down 0-2 in the finals of the qualifiers for the biggest tournament of all time, two months before that tournament. Even if they didn't show it, there's no guarantee blink Slark would fit in the meta in TI. Was the third game of the finals a...

    DOTA 2

    CIS will win a best of 10 against all of those easily, but if it's best of 3 double elim (right?), anything can happen. Except MVP of course. That can't happen.

    Guacamelee is a legit good game. It's a Castlevania-like side scrolling beat-em-up with Tim Schafer-like writing (just worse). It's worth your typical indie price tag, and well worth playing if you get it for free.

    DOTA 2

    Custom maps will be even bigger for Dota 2 than SC/WC3, not counting Dota itself. The playerbase is much larger than WC3's, and the existing graphics community is massive. All it needs is the same accessibility as WC3's map editor had, and the same monetization options for modders as the...

    MTG thread

    As long as WOTC doesn't address the problem of not being able to playtest with proxies, the constructed scene on MTGO will remain boring as shit. Only a tiny subset of players are willing to invest the time/money to build a full playset, and being forced to buy all the cards for a deck before...

    If you'rereally badat micro, going Visage without ulti is almost better than with it, to avoid feeding 200 gold every cooldown. Of course, if you're that bad, you shouldn't have picked Visage, but :pubs:

    Let's be real here, Hex (from what I have seen) has basically copied MTG. I'm as disappointed in WOTC's online efforts as you, but I don't think we can fault them for defending against blatant plagiarism.

    The only reason you would need more reports than what the system gives is if you keep reporting people for stuff like that. Being bad at DotA or not helping your team is not a reportable offense.

    Yeah, how silly of me! The first column is Australian Open 2014 top 16 rescaled to 8m pool (from 7.2m), the second column is from my suggestion above 1: 2.9m 2.4m 2: 1.5m 1.3m 3-4: 600k 720k 5-8: 300k 400k 9-16: 150k 160k Man, I was totally off the mark! I sure regret that absurd 160k...

    As it should be. For a team from the Philippines, getting to Seattle and staying for the duration of TI would be prohibitively expensive. It would compromise the equality of the competition.

    DOTA 2

    From a business point of view for Valve, the main purpose of the prize pool is to support the competitive scene and get media attention. The prize pool will already get media attention, and supporting the competitive scene means paying more teams enough money to keep them playing. Something...

    There are two hard parts about that fight: - Learning to recognize when he will do his explosion attack after leap (run away!) and when he won't (free attack time!) - Killing him before his flame damage wears you down The first is just experience, the second is just a matter of having a...

    Replenish is my favourite deck of all time, simply because it came 1 game short of qualifying me for Euros/Worlds. I'm still salty I couldn't draw a tutor or laboratory in two games vs Bargain in that last round

    Dark Souls 2

    Yeah, that's a scripted betrayal from a certain NPC. I never encountered it because the order in which I do the game means I encounter him in a different location, where his betrayal is non-lethal (and pretty cool). Pretty dumb that they decided to make it an instagib in one location.

    Dark Souls 2

    DS2 has drastically different level design, the maps are long and branch out linearly in various directions. In DS1 you're almost always travelling in an upward/downward spiral to allow for quick vertical shortcuts past tons of content. What 5-10 minute runs through old content do you find...

    Please list some "unreasonable bullshit" auto deaths in DS1. The only thing I can remember which I would call that is one particular Giant Skeleton. Everything else that comes to mind is either heavily telegraphed or relatively harmless. DS1 works just fine without teleports. Its level design...

    Dark Souls 2

    The entire charm of the game/series is that it's hard when done wrong, but possible to break wide open, thus encouraging you to play smart. It's like EQ in that regard. Just like Dark Souls, once you're good enough at the game that you find it easy, you need to nerf yourself to keep it...

    I thought it was great coming out of the theater. That was after spending the first hour of the movie groaning and rolling my eyes, but holy shit did they redeem themselves in the latter half. It's mostly dumb action fun, but the movie also has the best visual/audio scene I've seen in a movie...
