    How do you prefer your steak?

    filet, rare to blue with a heavy peppercorn and salt seasoning. u don't like a cream pan sauce w/ filet, the meat is just delicious by itself. strip, rare to medium rare, peppercorns and pan sauce. for years i was ribeye all the way, but learned i didn't like chewing the fat. i know...

    thinking i'll have to stop playing jungle, it's just too frustrating top lane"crap, i got coutnered, will need ganks asap!" mid lane "crap, i got counters, will need ganks asap!" both feed 0-3 by 20 mins and surprising blame the jungler for their score.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    when i was younger, i got a ton of speeding tickets, 1000s of dollars in fines paid on multiple occasions. i eventually got a radar detector, and it saved me a few tickets for sure. it also gave me one. i was speeding, not much over, it went off and i assumed i was in the 'no big deal' range...

    Thresh is pretty amazing support, but a high skill level. not only of the person playing thresh, but rest of the team. you'd be surprised how many don't grab the lantern when they should. his hooks are harder to hit than blitz's, but he locks someone down longer when they land. both he and...

    Hecarim isn't always banned. When he isn't, I'm reminded why he should be. Though our Garen and Elise would have dominated w/o my help. fun game where i felt bad for the other side. i'm silver II, so that plays into it as well

    Question using my TV as a 3rd monitor.......50 feet away

    I assume your 'tv' that's on the other end of the 50' hdmi cable has built in speakers. check the sound settings, control panel. some apps allow you to pick which sound 'path' to send app sounds to. some don't. check to see what's default, which is probably your integrated sound...
