Except it's august, and if you sell your star striker now you will be forced to overbid to get anyone remotely decent. Selling Suarez this summer would probably have been smart, but if you're doing it at this point it will have to be at a really high price to compensate for the price jacking...

Yeah, NMM works just fine for me as well, with ~10 well maintained mods. Probably different if you want to run like 100 or use outdated/poorly coded mods.

Nah, I've just been using 3.1, the latest official release. The changes sound good indeed, but I didn't want to fiddle with a beta when I first installed it. Check the last ~10 pages of the SA thread, though. There are bound to be someone asking that exact question in there. Most likely you...

I could have said fuck Southampton, Glasgow, Manchester or Newcastle too, by the way. The point wasn't that Liverpool is a horrible place relative to the rest of England. The point is that for someone with infinite money, London/Paris/Milano/Madrid is a hell of a lot more fun, and...

I haven't tried any of the others, but the general consensus (pretty much 100% agreement) in the SomethingAwful thread is that SPERG is the better alternative. It's more lightweight, sticks closer to the original game's feel, allows for a wider variety of play styles, has more robust code and...

Once. Put it this way: If you're making 100k GBP per week, would you rather live in the city with 2 1-star Michelin restaurants, or the city with 55 1-star, 12 2-star and 4 3-star Michelin restaurants?

I'm guessing it's quite a bit easier to sign top players when you're located in London rather than fucking Liverpool. If I was making the kind of money these guys are making and I was choosing between second tier clubs, I'd put a lot of value in living somewhere that was either really...

I just picked Skyrim back up after someone linked me this mod, SPERG: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/24445/? The Somethingawful thread by the author if you're registered over there, including v4.0 beta link: http://forums.somethingawful.com/sho...0&pagenumber=1 This thing is amazing...

It's not better to be in the loser's bracket, but it devalues the performance in the preliminaries. The top teams from the prelims have proven themselves to be consistently strong, and it's silly that they can be knocked out by losing a BO3 against one of the top teams and then a BO1 against one...

Bulldog mindfucks so many teams so hard. Because he really only plays two heroes in 99% of the games and is ridiculously good on them, teams either counterban him and give some OP single heroes to Alliance, or they don't counterban him and he dominates.

The new consoles are pretty much PCs anyway, right? Should be comparable.

Windows 8 is a fucking nightmare for those of us with parents / in-laws who need new computers. I spent a day trying to figure that shit out with my mom, ended up installing Start8 or some other Win 7 theme to make it work 90% like Win 7. I still get a call a week because some stupid program...

He's asking if another build would be more efficient. In a low tier game, if you can farm a 25 minute radiance, that's probably the most efficient build on Spectre. Compared to the other heroes in the game, it's the equivalent of a 16-20minute radiance in a high skill game. Even Burning would...

No genuine low tier player has ever farmed a 16 minute radiance. You'll see freefarm carries with treads and a RoH in 20 minutes in those games. 25 minutes is just fine in the low tiers.

He still has mediocre laning and needs tons of farm to stay relevant in the late game. His ganking is stronger than ever, though.

*shrug* 1000 games and never been muted, and I complain about my team often enough.

The shitty part is that it punishes the muted player's team as much as that player himself. A player with no communication ability is far less useful to the team. Not sure how to get around that, though. Maybe allow pings, but with a harsher throttle.

No arguments there.

So getting reported two matches in a row (with 10 matches played) = mute. That's consistent with dev communication, and doesn't mean that you can get muted from a single game like some clowns here have asserted. Sure, maybe the system could actually check if you've said something to accept a...

Dota doesn't have the sort of immediate feedback that makes you have an incredible amount of fun from the first game. Winning a game of Dota is usually about stacking up small advantages until you are able to overpower the opposition and kill their base. Until you understand the game well enough...

MOBAs aren't for anyone after 3 games.

After the requisite HP (assuming you're not heavily overleveled), blink adds more to Lina than any other item. Being able to reliably follow up with LSA after a teammate's stun is far more important than some cute autoattack damage.

That's like a perfect rhyme, man

^that On my first listen through now. Really disappointed with the album version of Black Skinhead. His SNL performance was so energetic and powerful. The album version completely fails to reach the same intensity.

It's probably the role where marginal skill improvements make the least difference, but I've played enough games with bad friends to know that if I go support and they go carry, we lose. They just aren't able to survive the gank attention and keep their farm up. There's a minimum skill...

Lich is my go-to recommendation for new players. His combination of minimal farm requirement, easy denies, high impact ulti (at least in low skill games), high move speed and ~infinite mana fits new players well. I see you're already playing him. Veno is a good second choice. After him I'd...

Is the stream slow for anyone else? I'm down to 480p and still getting some stutter.

Yeah, that's not going to happen. With most AAA games running 8-12 hour campaigns you won't see a publisher endorsed rental service, ever.

Na'Vi because they were once the Only Hope of Western Dota, so there really was no choice but to cheer for them. They also have a history of picking fun heroes (well, Pudge mainly) and rarely play passive 4-protect-1 strats. Team Liquid because that organization embodies a professional attitude...

I love how everyone here that gets chat banned in-game believe it is because they dominate the opposition so hard that they just get muted for beingway too good at the game. Did you miss the dev team blog post? It also tends to be posters who have a history of either stirring up shit for fun...

In their eyes, anything that isn't being released on PS4 is probably an exclusive. As far as sales impact goes, that's probably not far from accurate. I'd guess a major portion of their userbase doesn't have a capable gaming PC early on in a console generation.

Can we chill on the spoilers? How about making the post like this instead:

I realize that was a thought experiment Pyros, but 11%-24% slow early game doesn't really compare to Veno's 50% (and dropping) fire and forget slow, which limits her lane support ability. Her aura also depends on farm and/or her being high level to become really nasty, which probably isn't going...

How aim centric is the game? I dislike FPS/aiming on controllers, and that certainly doesn't get better with limited ammo.

Once you level up Sadist, mana is not a problem while farming. That's not the case in team fights, unless you are lucky enough to get a quick kill or have tons of creeps around. A level 11 Necrolyte with no items has 611 mana. Death Pulse costs 185, Level 2 Scythe costs 340 mana. Without mana...

Nutron: Radiance on ANY hero before 20 minutes will let you stomp the pub. Necro is honestly one of the weakest heroes to rush Radiance on. He basically has built in Radiance, what he needs is survivability and mana to keep it going. But yes, any pub game in which you can get a sub-20 Radiance...

Holy shit that was cringeworthy

The numbers aren't arbitrary. 3% of the people who voted will buy XBONE. 60% of the people who voted will buy PS4. 75% of the people who voted will be using their PC for gaming.

Meh, as much as I'd love to see PS4 win the war, they've only won the first battle thus far. For the vast majority of paying customers, the main difference between the consoles thus far is down to marketing, if they're even paying attention. There's plenty of time to correct the poor image...

Just let it happen, it will be over soon ?_?
