Yeah once the wide eyed "OMG I'm making games!" wears off being a game developer is pretty shitty. Longer hours with no pay increase over working a normal corporate job.

Starting to get a bit bored with this show. It is moving at a glacial pace.

Felt like that entire episode was very throw away I've noticed this season they are focusing only on a single storyline per episode for the most part. It is a welcome change. Previously they'd try to address all storylines all in the same episode so you'd get two steps forward on each...

Garg is pretty bad. It does pretty much nothing in a team fight. Yeah it can be good at merc camps and if you take Merc Lord at 7 you're probably the best merc taker in the game but that doesn't win you the game versus someone who is organized. There is a reason Spirit is seen 100% of the...

From everyone on TL the dreampool is getting completely hated on. Apparently trying to play a normal macro game is nearly impossible anymore.

There are tons. What about the people that write the actual engines that get licensed out? The people at Natural Selection also wrote their engine from the ground up. Just because there isn't a huge need for the skillset doesn't mean the skillset doesn't exist in the industry. Generally...

There is a nice post on reddit about how damage is calculated in this game but I'll give the highlights: #1) Calculate ability damage bonuses (ie: +20% damage to ability, +15% damage to ability) by adding all these modifiers together and calculating them to the ability damage [additive] #2)...

I was thinking the other day it would be nice if the 3DS (or more realistically their next handheld) came with something akin to Chromecast where you could just plug it into your TV and it would broadcast to the TV. Then also make it so it can have WiiU pro controllers sync up to it as well. I...

Most seasoned Nazeebo players will find a nice hiding spot to perform their ult. Which is why the Diablo ult countered it so hard because you can't hide from it. There have been many times on Tychus I'm trying to find the asshole to nade him out of his ult but I can't find the fucker.

This post. This fucking post.

Man Nazeebo is insanely good. Once you hit 16 to get the bonus poison damage to heroes he just puts out absurd hero damage. I swear my ult was doing like 5k damage everytime I popped it. I also found out Diablo is an excellent counter to him since Diablo can just ult when you ult to cancel it.

I love cranberries. Cran juice is my favorite fruit juice and I usually have a few handfuls of dried cranberries for breakfast.

I'm interested in how you equip your eyes

One of the HOTS personalities said he talked to someone at Blizzcon asking how accurate Hotslog really is compared to their internal MMR and he said they checked it recently against the playerbase and it wasn't accurate at all

Gamecube controllers are great for people with small hands. I can't do jack shit on that thing though.

Telltale is much, much better about telling and delivering story than the other games. I wouldn't be too concerned with how BL currently delivers the story because Telltale will do it differently. I also noticed Telltale is coming out with a Game of Thrones game as well

It is basically a fast paced arcade fighter. Instead of having a traditional HP bar you gain a %. Getting hit gains you %. The higher the % the more likely you are to get punted off screen and die. The only way to die is by falling off screen or getting punted off screen. There are also...

Good poker players should see people not paying attention as a walking pay day. The only card game where it really matters at the table if someone has no clue what is going on (at least to my knowledge) is blackjack.

Smell some vanilla extract then chug the bottle and report back

I like to get drunk at 10 in the morning and wander around in various casinos

Being a professional Pantheon cyber athlete I can't turn down this min/max

I don't like to gamble either. Knowing the odds are against me and slowly the house will bleed your money doesn't sit well with me. I know you can make money if you get lucky and quit but I don't like putting my cash in the hands of fate.

Butter popcorn flavored Mike & Ikes were my favorite flavor. I also love the popcorn flavored Jelly Belly.

You can play poker. As much a game of RNG it is there is also a fundamental game of skill based not only upon probability but also player interactions. It is a big reason so many ex-Starcraft players go on to have successful poker careers. Many of the skills transfer over from weighing...

Funny thing is I was trying to throw in a game of Monopoly with my wife maybe a year ago or so. I went against almost all conventional Monopoly thought and purchased both Boardwalk and Park Place and even built hotels on them. I thought I was just pissing my money away trying to let her win...

Also true. Unfortunately I'm super competitive so my family doesn't even ask to play board games any more since I'm such a competitive jackass. I've tried toning it down lately.

Being a competitive Monopoly player the cost:benefit of Boardwalk just isn't there. It is all about the Orange and Yellow properties.

I know plenty of males who are non-competitive and terrible at video games. I don't see why gender has to be the ultimate decider. If only 5% of people playing a video game are competent the number of females who are competent will obviously be low because they make up such a minority of the...

If you get good at Arthas you can be proficient at the "OP and probably gunna get nerfed" trifecta of Arthas, Uther and Tychus.

Clairvoyance is overall just a good skill. Very nice for "I think they're taking these mercs" and getting confirmation or denial. I know some of the tip top level teams are starting to get away from it because the map movement is pretty predictable so they are saying the only time you use...

You gotta ping man. You can't expect everyone on your team to be a superstar. People will generally blindly follow pings. So if you are engaged in a 1v1 just above the lane just ping yourself or the enemy and generally the person in lane will assist. Can't complain when your team mates...

ExciteBike map is god tier. I love it. But for some reason my Shy Guy who I generally play as was getting raped ont he maps. I was getting throw around left and right. It seems like all the new DLC maps favor aggressive play instead of "Get ahead and coast" style.

Smash WiiU is also up for pre-sale and pre-load. Started the download last night. Was a bit over 11gb iirc.

I know so many people who think the answer to all their job woes is just one job away. I think it is gender agnostic because they're both males and females. Probably a few more in the female camp, though. I try and talk sense into them that every job has it's baggage and stuff you won't like...

Most guys don't really understand sometimes women just complain because they need to complain. They don't want you to analyze the situation, she doesn't want you to assign blame to anyone, she doesn't want answers or solutions. She just needs someone to complain to about her problem. Often...

I'm still fairly happy with my two year old Nexus 10. I like the size and the quality. It is starting to feel a touch slower but that may just be perception. I hope to not have to replace it for a few years.

Are any of the new characters/carts overpowered or are they basically just reskins?

My wife rarely complains about the people at her job. Every so often a sales rep will piss her off or something but she'll just tell me what they did to piss her off and move on. It doesn't last for hours on a daily basis complaining about every minor slight she felt she incurred that day...

There is some legendary where you gain back HP via lifesteal or something that apparently you just shield her up and charge at enemies and melee them down and just faceroll everything. I don't know much more than that about the build.

I've also heard Athena is the most overpowered late game once you get some of the correct legendary items on her
