    Wait, Twitch prime? How did I not even read this thread? Holy shit... I've had Prime for almost a decade now.

    Twitch purchased by Amazon

    Didn't want to start a new thread for this, but I use Ghostery for blocking ads (Chrome), and their latest update seems to have fucked something up and now it doesn't block Twitch ads anymore. Anyone wanna let me know what currently works to block them?

    DOTA 2

    Seems like a lot of teams are playing like dog shit. Liquid, Alliance, Na'vi...kind of disappointed in all of em.

    Poll How open minded are you politically?

    I can respect that more than what most people do. But as far as your last statement, I'd expect more from people in this community. Read the actual positions of the candidates, and use your own analysis to determine how you feel about the positions. Reading the newspaper's opinions and using...

    DOTA 2

    Fucking Envy. Against PD, he tried to solo Rosh. Spent fucking FOREVER, and ended up dying with Rosh at about 100hp. PD just walks right in, hits it once, and free Aegis. Envy is the fucking worst. Oh, and did I mention he bought back, too? LOL. Edit: Apparently I can't embed the clip. Keeps...

    DOTA 2

    I'm pretty sure Viper is still close to auto-win for whatever lane he's in. That Q is a bitch. He falls off hard as shit though.

    DOTA 2

    The commentators are all just like baffled. They're just completely ignoring this Secret/Vega game and talking about how fucked that game was. Even bringing in other people now. What a ridiculous game.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I thought I had spent way more time on that game, but I think I ended up around 30-40 hours total. Never finished the third year, either, just got burnt out with giving gifts and shit. Definitely a fun (addicting) game for a couple weeks though.

    DOTA 2

    You technically can jump right into normal matches if you want (can't start ranked until you hit some arbitrary account level though). I'd say run a couple bot matches (solo if you've never played a MOBA, coop if you have) before jumping into normal games. That said, I think Dota is unique as...

    Poll Betting on the Election

    I lol'd. Between the politics and NFL threads, it seems I can't go a week without someone wanting to make a bet about something. Some of you all have a serious problem.

    Survivor

    Hannah is just a ridiculous person. She and David seem like they're cut from the same cloth. Edit: Ha. That was unintentional. I wrote that before finishing the episode. I like that David said he and Zeke are cut from the same cloth.

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    I never was, and still probably a not, a car person. I've been watching Top Gear regularly since 2006. One of my favorite shows. Don't think you need to be a car person to enjoy it. In fact, when people talk about the chemistry between the hosts, it explains why Top Gear is successful while...

    DOTA 2

    I think my actual MMR is probably in the 2300-2500 range (based on Purge's videos of MMR), but I'm currently about 1760. So it'll likely be easier games, too, since I'm playing way below my potential. It's just a matter of grinding out til my actual MMR.

    Steam Community :: Gravel My playing is kind of irregular. Just whenever I can sneak a game in here and there.

    DOTA 2

    I guess Moonduck auctioned off a "get your ass roasted by professional casters." This was incredibly frustrating, but also hilarious to watch. It sounds like it's around a 3k game. Apparently there's not much difference between 1k and 3k.

    DOTA 2

    I like being able to play heroes that can do well in a support or semi-carry role. Basically, because pub games generally last for fucking ever, I can transition my support hero into a carry and not be crippled against the 5 carry lineup. Abaddon works well, and I kind of like Venge as well. As...

    DOTA 2

    Really enjoying the DOTA this month. Gained 300 MMR with a 21-7 record. I know I'm lucky to be in such a shit low MMR that I can gain pretty fast, but it's still nice. It does make it nice where even in a game like my most recent (CK), I can have a TERRIBLE game and still win, just because the...

    I believe that more than likely, we'll just end up doing other shit for work. Didn't they think the same thing was going to happen during the industrial revolution? The two time periods aren't completely compatible, but I just don't see enough revenue being taken in by the government to somehow...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I guess that's kind of the shitty situation you put yourself in as an organization when you sit a starter. If his backup goes out (especially in the same game), you're really going to feel like an asshole going back to that person.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    The defense can't run zone, but yet, we always run zone at the end of the game. Man to man and we're fucking dominant. Joe Berry is a shit coach.

    This game should honestly be a blowout. Redskins keep stepping on their own dicks (or feet, actually).

    This game is frustrating. The Redskins can never dominate an opponent. Always playing to their level.

    Yeah, not sure why they like Jones so much anyway. Thompson and Kelley are better RB's in my opinion.
