    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    I've went over the whole thing backwards and forwards with female friends who know 20 times more information than I've posted here, over the course of the entire relationship. One of these females in particular is Ms. Relationship Doctor who reads like every book on relationships and commitment...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Thanks for the words. It's an interesting read. I'll give you some more breakdown on this chick without getting into a ton of specifics. She was really special to me because she was European from a country I really love, I know some of the language...it was so unique finding her here...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    The breakup was in December. I was talking about marriage with her in that thread early last year. It's been over two months, and yeah, it still fucking sucks. I just can't let it bother me anymore. No fucking closure...not a chance to talk, ask questions, nothing. Completely ignored...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    I'm dealing with a semi-recent breakup. The girl mentioned this thread from March of last year: Marriage and The Power of Divorce - Page 4 Long term relationship. Talked about getting married. Literally never argued in person...occasional quibbles, never a real argument. She broke up...

    DOTA 2

    This is probably redundant and obvious and doesn't really matter anyway since it's AD, but regarding ability draft...I've found if I'm the one to start taking stuns and disables from the getgo (i.e. Tombstone, sven stun, WD stun, etc.) I win the majority of games. Which would be boring if you...

    Valve monitoring you?

    It's not surprising Punkbuster did the same thing before.

    Goat Simulator

    I enjoy the fact this exists, but it looks like it'd be fun for all of 20 minutes before the novelty wore off. It just looks like a lame mod for some engine (source?) that should have been released for free as a gag, not sold for $10.

    DOTA 2

    I watched a game of that event being played for five minutes. I don't even really have any interest in trying it.

    It's A Wonderful Life.. sequel? Dafuq?

    They should just remake it with Ice Cube in the role of Jimmy Stewart.

    DOTA 2

    After playing ability draft quite a few times now, yeah, it's fun, but...it starts to wear on me. The games are almost always incredibly lopsided. One team has one or two guys who buttfuck the other team, and it's always like that it seems. Never a fair game, it's always like 60 kills to...

    DOTA 2

    I'm sure this is bullshit, but I swear to god I've seen way more of them in the past couple of weeks for some reason. I used to get them occasionally, many times recently I've had 2 or 3 on a team before. Edit: Just played sniper with impetus + sniper range + LS's passive (wish I could...

    DOTA 2

    Not that I even care anymore, it doesn't really matter, I'm still playing the game. But I've went from almost 3200 back down to 2700 something. I play supports 99 percent of the time, and I'm good at it. I do what supports are supposed to do. The problem is never me as a support. There was...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    When I was 20 years old I had a girlfriend who asked me if she could hold my junk while I took a leak. Never actually got around to doing it, by the way, but she mentioned it one day. I'm in my 30's now, I've never had another girlfriend who asked.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    Aaaaand I'm done. Having had a taste of the PvE leveling the legit way, I'm bored already at level 10, and I have no nostalgia of DAOC anyway.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    I had a Windows crash on startup at first too. Had to go into safe mode and delete the drivers. Use this FIRST: Guru3D - Driver Sweeper It's a driver cleaner. THEN install the new (old) drivers. Worked for me.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    I fixed my FPS problem! Attention other people with AMD cards who were having graphical problems: Downgrade to AMD 13.4 drivers. DAOC is running absolutely fluid for me now.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    Not that I'd stick with it anyway, but at least two of us here (and some people on the forum) are having massive graphics lag despite having computers that way outclass the game. I can't figure it out.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    Hmm. Gonna be interesting to see how many people actually play.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    I just asked on the forum again too. I think we just have incompatible video cards, even though we have computers that way outclass DAOC. There's probably some kind of setting that could be changed, but I dunno what. Edit: Granted I wasn't on very long because it was almost unplayable...

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    I'm getting massive graphical lag despite the fact I have a pretty modern system. Nearly unplayable. Whenever I try to turn around in circles and look in other directions the FPS drops down to nothing. Turned all the graphics settings to low as possible, no difference. Weird. All updated...

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    Doh. Well that answers that question. I was just reading a link posted above and saw it. So I guess the only real healer is cleric for albion then, and friar to a lesser extent.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    So, I only played DAOC like a handful of hours before quitting in 2003 or 2004. Heretic vs. Cleric at this patch of the game, what's the opinion? No idea if I'll actually stick with it this time either, but I'll check it out. I like going around healing / buffing people / being useful in...

    DOTA 2

    Er...lifestealer isn't a mid hero. You should only go mid when someone else is there to help them gank, teamfight, or go help the people bot. I think he was just pointing out mid XP is the best, which it is, but that's not a lane for LS.

    DOTA 2

    Yeah, TP's are a huge thing I ignored for a long time and finally realized that they make you more money than you lose, not to mention can win the game for you. For the longest time when I started out I'd saying "no way I'm wasting money on that when I can save for gear instead!" Now a days...

    DOTA 2

    I had the exact same line of thought when I started playing. I saw a character that was listed as "jungler" so I assumed I should just stay in the jungle and never leave until 30 minutes in or something. Which I did a couple of times, and I noticed people bitching at me, for good reason, I...

    DOTA 2

    I just started playing in August. I'd never played any of these games before (MOBAs.) I've maintained a slight winning average pretty much from the getgo, always stay a few percentage points over 50, I think. It's really not that hard to do well with certain heroes, but for me, I just had to...

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    The only way I'll even try this is if leveling is fast. I remember quitting DAOC very quickly back in the day because the low level PvE was so goddamn boring. I just want to try out the RvR stuff because I never saw it.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah. chF (chFtheCat) on Twitter It's intruiging to me how these people just blatantly admit to doing this stuff these days. It's as if they have no fear they're going to get buttfucked by cops some day breaking in their door, no matter what country they're in. The same guy has made...

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    I remember buying DAOC when it came out and quitting after getting to level 8 or something. The leveling part was super dull as I recall (as others have stated above.) That said, I remember so many throughout the years speaking so well of the RvR stuff. I wouldn't mind trying this for shits...

    DOTA 2

    I was on a pretty good streak for a while, not always winning, but at least having fair games. But man, the last few games I've played, my team has been buttfucked from minute one. Literally getting rushed and successfully killed AT TOWERS in the first few minutes and shit like that. Think my...

    DOTA 2

    God I hate DP lately. Seems like the new Huskar / SB. I notice hardly anyone plays SB anymore. Seems like every time I'm up against a DP it's a loss. They're annoying as shit with the ult that seems to constantly be going. I'm sure she's fine, not bitching about it being overpowered or...

    DOTA 2

    I don't think I've seen any douchebaggery like that in the four months I've been playing aside from a handful of times, and I started from the ghetto and have moved my way up. I don't think I've seen an intentional feeder since maybe the first couple of weeks I played, and I don't recall that...

    Path of Exile

    I had the same problem. I was making up some shit that I knew couldn't possibly be taken. I think it's just an algorithm rejecting the names but still saying it's "taken" instead of "rejected."

    DOTA 2

    Yeah, I'm 18 wins / 10 losses at ranked, by the looks of things. I've only been playing a few months, so I stick to supports. I've done okay at carries a few times, but I never seem to be aggressive enough, resulting in more losses. Supports allow me to hang back and not be so aggressive yet...

    DOTA 2

    I like this poll question at the end of some games: "Rate the level of cooperation you displayed towards your teammates this game." Like what I am going to do, give myself 1 star and say "Oh, I was just fucking around and not playing as a team member."

    DOTA 2

    Jumped up to 3025 rating today! Was at like 2790 something to start earlier this week. I'm 2 and 0 playing alch support now, pretty fun. I'm glad you all were talking about it or I'd never thought to try it. Last game I didn't even know what to spend all the gold I had on, slots were...

    DOTA 2

    Absolutely true. For all the people that bitch, horribly annoying games are pretty far and few between, in my experience. I mean, there are always some annoying people, but not of the variety that really ruin your game and piss you off. It does happen on occasion, but it's not the norm.

    DOTA 2

    You know what I really like I notice hardly anyone seems to play? Undying. Very fun support. Tombstone is badass at low levels. Think I'm 5 and 1 as UD so far. I think maybe because he's so rarely played, people don't know how to handle him very well (in my shit bracket, that is.)

    DOTA 2

    CM is my best hero too. I'm 8 and 1 with Disruptor, technically though, so that's my best ratio (not a very high sample I know.) I think I'm like 16 and 7 with CM or something. Also have a winning ratio as KOTL. I think all my best ratios are support, never play carries often enough to...

    DOTA 2

    I've only been playing like 4 months. Just finished up the 10 games today for ranked, 28xx something. Seems like I won most of the games, and I felt like I did decent enough (for me.) I play support 90 percent of the time, so never any big numbers.
