    Heroes of the Storm

    Yeah yesterday El Nexo was running a team with zero assassins. It was Chen & Anub, Uther & Tyrande and Nazeebo. I think that is the game they actually won. Though I can't remember if they took game 3 or not.

    Heroes of the Storm

    Yeah it seems the idea with Chen is to take barrel at 10 to separate off 1-2 players from the 5v5 to suddenly turn it into a 3v5. Chen then has the longevity to stay alive from the two he peels away and will slow them to delay their impact on the main team fight. It is a smart strategy but...

    I'm still not sure how exactly Brad is pitching this idea. He is basically saying he's going to make a game for a dying genre which is regressive in nature to try and lure the "hardcore" back home. But the fact of the matter is the "hardcore" person who played EQ 14 hours a day now is a 30...

    The only time I'd write hobby code is if I feel my skill set is falling behind. Some places are better than others about letting you learn and grow as a developer than others. I just make sure to check out Monster and figure out what people are asking for in your average-everyday-developer and...

    Depends on the job you want. For just writing cash register firmware there isn't much tech to keep up on. If you're in a position like me where I work with tons of frameworks and high level languages I generally keep up by reading various programming blogs/forums and try and fit a business...

    I put in extra effort but I make my company pay me for it. My place is very open about you having some time to learn new technologies and make prototypes of them. I haven't written hobby code for the sake of writing code since college. With that said if you want to quickly vault the ladder...

    Yeah the architecture side of the fence is much, much harder than the actual implementation side. A good architecture will lead to easy implementation.

    I consider programming to be the easiest part of my job. Pretty much every day I walk into work having to solve a new problem in a new way using a new framework or 3rd party. That is the hard part. The constant and unending treadmill of knowledge. I'd love it if I could just sit down and...

    Gotham

    Yeah I was asking my wife why wouldn't they just come down with riot gear and bats and beat the shit out of people while fighting to Fish. It made no damn sense. Not to mention the entire population apparently hasn't had a proper meal or a good night's sleep in forever. Seems pretty easy to...

    Gotham

    I'm pretty sure they're going to use Fish as the character Penguin kills to make him go full-on villain. At the moment he is somewhat likable and this most recent episode they've already showed his transformation to irrational villain by killing the guy for boo'ing his mom.

    It almost sounds like many of those are expecting competent developers and just calling them interns. Possibly for the sake of trying them out and very easily killing their job without any legal ramifications towards the company since you were just a 6 month intern or whatever.

    Men's Fashion

    I'm really not a great resource on dress shoes or dress wear in general. I wear boots and jeans basically every day of my life. However I feel a shiny oxford shoe with jeans is a somewhat dated look. Reminds me of the mid 00's style where you'd wear them with bootcut jeans. Not a modern look...

    I was never really a C++ coder and it took me forever to learn that for whatever reason many C++ coders prefix their member variables with an underscore. I never quite learned why.

    I guess if you manage to not pick out all the insanely retarded aspects of the barn scene it could be pretty tense and cool. Sadly I could not because: 1) Zombies have established in previous episodes they swarm buildings from all sides ... except this time 2) Why not call for help instead...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Sonya is in a pretty bad place. She has many problems and most of them stem from her not being able to soak any significant damage while not dealing out enough damage to compensate for this problem. She can pubstomp some low tier players (or poorly composed QM teams) who lack any form of...

    Heroes of the Storm

    I don't see a compelling reason to play Thrall over Illidan in the current patch. Even last patch Illidan seemed like the better melee assassin than Thrall. Outside of his ults Thrall just doesn't bring anything to the table for team fights.

    Most software development interns are simply QA testers and maybe write novelty apps to assist with testing. You don't really go into the project and make any significant contribution. At least every intern I've ever worked with (or as) has been that way.

    I don't think that hating TWD has any correlation with IQ. If anything continuing to watch a show you hate is the definition of retarded.

    You bought nerfed Thrall. Should have enjoyed the OP-train while it was still in the station.

    I thought overall this was one of the better episodes of the series. The Fish scenes were still unbearable, though.

    I've played around with both and I do sometimes take hover depending upon how the game is going. Hover is better if your team is retarded or the fights are tending to be more skirmish based. But if you know a fight is going to occur somewhere and even better you can lure the other team into...

    Hm I'd argue at the moment Hammer is possibly the most OP hero in the game and possibly the most carry since if you get to 20 with her it is virtually game over for the other team. Heroes of the Storm (Heroes) Builds Guides, wiki, database and forums. Heroes Hero Build Guides on HeroesFire...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I have the Chakram quiver but I've moved over to using Entangling for my builder since I have the bow that confers 25% damage to targets under Entangling's effects. Chakram always felt a bit wonky to me and I didn't really care to use it as my builder.

    I also had to laugh at the well mannered zombies using the front barn door instead of plowing through the sides which looked far more rickety.
