    Heroes of the Storm

    The initial opening of the mines is the only opportunity to ignore the mines. But, again, it depends on your team comp. If you have a team good at clearing the mines then send someone (someONE) down into the mines to slowly clear while you defend the merc push. If your team is good at pushing...

    Heroes of the Storm

    I didn't watch the video but no one really knows what is *best* right now. There isn't really a competitive scene in HOTS. You can't match your 5 man stack up against their 5 man stack unless you just hit during match making. It also depends on your team comp, the map and the heroes. On...

    DOTA 2

    I don't know if Valve necessarily "codes for the future" because there are tons of things in play. Valve could have had a better vision for where they wanted to take the game and they coded around that vision. Valve also has some of the best game developers out there writing their code. Don't...

    To be fair old people suck at using almost anything. Old person in front of you of self-checkout at the grocery store? May as well get into the cashier line behind 3 carts full of groceries.

    Heroes of the Storm

    The game is really a fresh concept and trying to compare it to anything else falls short. There is nothing that does what HOTS does. It is a fresh take on online battlegrounds and MOBAs but is too dissimilar from DOTA/LoL/WoW/Smite that trying to draw similarities will always fall short. The...

    I rarely drink soda but I could imagine if you're a big soda drinker it would be pretty sweet. Only time I drink pop is when it comes in the Canes combo.

    Good enough. I haven't played DW since I moved out with my room mate five or so years ago. We'd play the shit out of DW endlessly. Think we played the DW3 demo disk on his PS2 for like 50 hours since we were both too poor to buy the game as high school kids.

    Canes fries are inconsistant. But if you're getting it drive-thru ALWAYS ask for salt packets. Sometimes the fries are appropriately salted and sometimes they seem to completely forget to salt them.

    You can pay for heroes via your BNet balance, yes? I got a $50 Visa GC from work and was planning on just loading it to my BNet balance to buy the heroes the variety bundle lacked like Murky.

    Any real reason to go PC route instead of PS3? DW is one of the very few games I feel is "comfy couch" required.

    Heroes of the Storm

    I've realized that I need to hold off judgement of who is OP and who isn't by playing at least a dozen games on the character. Some games I'll play Raynor and absolutely destroy faces then other games I'll just get constantly picked off time after time. Some times I'll play Nova and get 25...

    The underwear thread.

    Boxer briefs is the way to go. I wore boxers all through high school and switched to the hybrids afterwards. It gives all the benefits of briefs with the benefit of boxers as well.

    You way, way overestimate people try harding the system for MK8. I'd be shocked if their influx accounted for even 10k units.

    Heroes of the Storm

    Playing with people who obviously have some MOBA experience but not much is the worse. When you are idle in this game (ie: normal "farm" time in a MOBA) you need to be capping and contesting camps. Not just sitting in lane getting 5 XP an hour. They also need to realize that deaths happen in...

    Arthas is legit fun. He can man mode hardcore. Wish they added in where you can double tap and it'll cast on yourself. His coil is good but sometimes when you want to heal yourself clicking it them yourself is a hassle.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I've never met a stay at home mom who actually appreciated her situation. My wife's mother does not work and the only child in the house is like 14. She is constantly talking about how tiered she is and how she did so much today. Which basically equates to watching Animal Planet for 4 hours...

    I think most of us would which is why we got those big fancy degrees so I don't have to do physical labor. But there is a notion that programmers basically just go to work and it is the same as taking a nap for 8 hours.

    DOTA 2

    There is really no precedent in eSports about handling a tournament of the monetary magnitude of TI. Possibly they should consider not having such a long lag time between qualification and tournament and allow for teams to be in charge of their rosters instead of 5 individuals being the team.

    Yeah from the emails it is basically this if anyone wants to TLDNR: -Fnatic alerts Valve Era may not be able to play due to anxiety and depression -Valve says ok let us know something solid -Fnatic wants to replace Era with Xcaliber under the guise of Era's health -Era (to Valve) says he...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm sure since the wife generally deals with the kids more she sees that as her "chore time" and when she asks you to do something she evens the scales by adding the time she spent with the children to her "chore time" side.

    I make about 30k more than my wife now and never use that as leverage in any interaction. I find it to be a cheap shot especially since she works more hours than I do.

    I guess my situation is a bit more clear cut and easier than most in this thread. My wife and I both work full time jobs. I actually work fewer hours than she does weekly. She cooks the meals, I clean the kitchen. On the weekend I vacuum the house and dust while she cleans the...
