    DOTA 2

    Don't worry man, you'll learn it all in time. Starting out fresh in Dota is a pretty tough thing to do and you'll lose more than you win; just how it goes. Eventually - if you stick with it - you'll know every hero, every ability of every hero, and ever item. In the grand scheme of things...

    Oh, it's only 1/8 the size of past games? That's OK consumers, you can just buy 8 versions of the game to have the same fun.

    Buying a car?

    '09+ CTS-V; 550hp supercharged V8, 6speed manual, quite if it's stock and nothing in it's class or price bracket can touch it. Not to mention, magnitudes more reliable than anything German.

    Awesome series. I have that and Long Way Down. Watch each one every couple years. What I had '04 to '07 (Shown at my parents house when selling in winter of '07). Bikeless for over 5 years and until I can afford to run only at a track, it'll stay that way; done riding on the street - but...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Definitely have a lot of AR (nothing below 830) harking back to the days when Inferno was rape-train and defense way key. I'll drop some down there and focus VIT, MS, and IAS. The ring though, man; only item I ever found myself last year worth using, lol. Sentimental.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Thanks, I'll check out those links later tonight. I do realize I have zero move speed enhancement, so that's pretty high on the list of things to get. But, I'm pretty sure I am shopping properly. I don't click 5 stats in the search engine and get frustrated with the prices. I pick 2...

    Question for the experts; why the fuck isn't there an "identify all" option, still? JFC it's annoying to click 20 items.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Right. I really don't have a desire to grind XP, at all. It'll be there while doing other things, like fighting challenging mobs, or trying to get loot. I've been gunning for higher and higher MP levels and for now, MP2 is cake, MP3 will be doable soon enough.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Huh, interesting. And MP0 yields good enough chances of drops (yet to see anything that can even go on the AH) compared to the others; with keys being the exception?

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Just for farming it's worth it? I guess I need to move up to higher MP levels then, because at 2, it's faceroll on trash, elites die in 20 seconds, and named in 30 (I don't even need wrath most of the time). I believe I have 1.8m gold right now.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah, movespeed is something i've been shooting for. It'll come down to me having to drop a fair amount of resist-all to pick up other stats =/

    DOTA 2

    Don't be afraid to create a game using bots only as well. While not perfect, they are tough for a newer player, but make sure they are on "insane" difficulty, to better mimic the real play later on. Even worth it to just play against bots for 10 minutes to get last hit timing down, restart, go...

    Tenks, Ishad; The information shared has been pretty darn useful, but I think the scale might be off. When you guys mention that "Oh, you can get this stuff easy, just 50 million...." uh, that's it? joy of joys, lol. This is what I've gotten in the last 2 weeks, on a budget of TWO...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Man, I don't find any legendary, ever =( Of course, I can only make it through MP2 solidly and I still have no idea where to find organs, machines, keys, bear-asses, or whatever else is supposed to help get loots.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I don't know about anyone else, but does it now feel like shit is too easy? I stopped 3 weeks after release because I was getting raped in Act 2 non-stop and couldn't progress. Now, I faceroll everything and kill bosses in under 5 seconds and it's not like my gear is any good, compared to you...

    It's very true sumdain, no arguements at all. But, it's really fucking hard to give up WH and WH40k after so much time and investment, because they fucking ruined the rules in both systems. And as cool as some of the WM/Horde stuff is, the GW models just blow them away =/

    Awesome, great info. Thank you. It seems every single Barb has Scorn; what's up with that? It's good, but is it the only end game worthy weapon? I rolled sword/board before because 2h offered no survivability.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    From the sounds of it, there have been a ton of changes to Diablo in the last several months. I have no idea what you guys are talking about (keys, paragon, etc). I got 2 heroes to Inferno and the "meh" just became too much (this was about 3 weeks after release, so you can imagine how much I...

    Sure and there is enough variety that you could use anything, basing who represented what, on size and badassness. Obviously not all chess boards are the same size, though. Be warned of price. Single models can cost 12-25 dollars each (non-mounted), but to get 8 pawns a side, would be 25-35...

    Another beloved hobby that's been slowly going down the tubes due to poor management and greed. I started Warhammer in my early teens with a half dozen friends and eventually got my brother and his friends into it. We had a good run of a decade and a half before we threw in the towel (fuck you...

    Yeah, bottom line is: single player rules for the setting,sounds, and visuals. Multi player isn't worth your time. Just as an aside; Warhammer fantasy Total war being made.....wat

    WH40K: Space Marine

    I had such high hopes for this game (Warhammer nerd for nearing 20 years now) and this was a big let down in many ways. I had some annoying lag in the single player campaign, but overall I absolutely loved that experience. However, when it came to MP, it was a disaster. No dedicated servers...

    LOTTERY WINNER...what if ?

    Definitely not tell a soul, except immediate family. Give parents and brother enough to be comfortable (more to brother after he works hard at a career) and get lots of material shit to play with. Travel a bunch, of course, but keep my job, which I really do enjoy (financial advisor, lol).

    EQ Never

    You pretty much answered your own questions. EQ was slower paced because of the lack of actions/spells that could be used in a given time frame and the relative HPs of a mob. For melee, it was auto-attack and one, maybe two other buttons (taunt, kick, backstab) and some hybrid spells that...

    I feel ya there Hatorade. I got my brother a boardgame from a local store and it was $100. I didn't think much of it, but then I saw it was about $60 online and I got a little annoyed. I couldn't believe they jacked the price so much. I really want to support local stores - which also host...

    EQ Never

    I like that idea, but it would have to be selective and capped at some point. Using an example from EQ; Frenzy Ghoul in Guk starts out tough, but gets even nastier each kill, within a defined range (after the first kill he gets between 5% and 15% stronger. After second kill he gets between 15%...

    This is obviously from the perspective of a more niche crowd (us, really) but I wouldn't care if the mouth-breathers got frustrated and left. I'd like a game with some challange and thought involved, that kept me interested beyond a month. I realize, however, than the companies making the...

    I suppose I could be looking at it from an incorrect perspective. The creatures are very, very powerful compared to the old days, but it feels like the spells are too. I dunno, maybe I haven't been introduced to enough of the new cards, to call it. Though, what I mostly played was spells...

    Don't think it's been said yet, so I'll go ahead and do it; Magic from the last couple of years, makes magic from 3rd edition through like, Invasion block, mostly useles. The power inflation on the new sets is so fucking retarded. It's like EQ through Velious, versus EQ today with the item...
