Gaming, ideally. Unless some better tech has come along? I don't keep up with things as much recently, but color clarity matters a lot to me.

What is the best way to buy IPS monitors these days? I have two right now but sadly they are 16:10 and for presentation reasons on my stream I need 16:9. Still eBay directly from Korea or...?

I hadn't actually thought about doing that. I can see some pros to it. I'll look into it.

So I'm becoming a pretty regular streamer, unfortunately the game I'm streaming is HotS and it eats CPU. As does streaming. I currently have an i7 2.93 Ghz, this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VOXG4S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Which I think is the best I can have for...

So I've been streaming and casting HotS for a while and the series of guides I was writing got picked up by a site. The Muradin guide I think I posted on old Rerolled is up now as well as an E.T.C and Arthas guide. The reworked Tyrael one will be out next Tuesday. Being the Mountain King - A...

I don't understand what is going on with the forums. I probably wouldn't. Anyone who likes their family enough to work that hard for them wants to be with them, so inevitably I think he'll start to be really unhappy.

Wait, what happened here? This was one of my favorite threads.

If you want them really chewy, swap out bread flour for the AP. Everyone I know likes chewy cookies. I'm a crisp guy personally.

Both the world events this year had 500k prize pools and the major regionals had 100k prize pools. Not sure if Blizzcon is going to be bigger. Kerrigan has an interaction between how much damage she does and how much sustain she gets from shields. If you overtune her damage, she becomes...

Probably not for a while, there isn't much money in HotS right now. Though I did get free Blizzcon tickets for some of my casting work so I'm offering to do any interviews or anything for a couple of sites who would like to send someone but don't want to pay travel expenses.

I'm mostly sharing this because of howe awesome I think it is. Twitch Someone asked King Caffeine if he had any tips for tank players and he LINKED MY GUIDE and said, quote, "Even a lot of pro tank players could learn a lot from this."

I'm in Masters on my smurf right now, struggling through Plat on my main because I tanked the MMR on that account hard. I'm a caster/analyst for Chairleague and many of the other amateur tournaments. I've done some coaching for semi-pro teams. Basically in the wider HotS community I'm respected...

Shameless plug, wrote a guide to tanking in HotS. The Art of the Tank : heroesofthestorm

Sooooooooo Hearthstone tournament next week I think, will post sign ups on Thursday. Standard, 3 decks, conquerers format. Any additional twists you guys can think of? I'm batting a couple around.

I still like my hacked together wooden box with a hot plate in the bottom smoker. I have a PID hooked up to it to maintain the same constant temp, just refill the wood chips every so often.

Making all globes neutral would fundamentally alter the laning phase of the game and catapult certain heroes to top spots.

Arthas and Nova are actually both extremely popular in terms of games played, which is why they keep getting skins. They just aren't staple picks in competitive play. If you focus on the competitive aspect of the game and play ranked you can get a skewed perspective. Blizzard keeps giving those...

If you haven't played at all your MMR is uncertain right now after the soft reset, so if you win your MMR will climb very quickly for the first 50 games. Good opportunity to come back, especially with Unranked Draft mode to practice in and get your feet wet before going into ranked.

I do a 1/1/1 mix of lamb, pork, and beef. It tastes amazing. For the shaping issue: The Burger Lab: How to Shape a Burger For Grilling or Broiling | Serious Eats Will fix all your problems and they'll come out properly sized. The Burger Lab | Serious Eats Is a lot of cool ideas that...

To my understanding every Costco carries tri-tip as a cut.

On three accounts over two regions last month he played every rank from 4-25. The difference between rank 4 and legend is pretty negligible, usually comes down to being willing to put the games in. Not sure how you can conclude he isn't playing at a high enough rank.

Kids are just hungry all the time. Keep good snacks around and it isn't so bad. I spend like 3-4 hours on Sundays doing prep for the week and, by request, I've started making up a couple pounds of the ginger almonds for our neighbor who has two kids. Nuts are really filling, they have a bit of...

Cooked brown rice is 216 calories/cup. So that is 618 calories. 16oz pack of frozen veggies is ~290 calories. Can of Black Beans is 400 calories. That is barely, barely, more calories then you need per day to not send your body into starvation mode. Either you have no clue how much you're...

I mean Li Ming gets banned a lot. Dehaka and Greymane are usually available to pick and are fun/effective when played well.

Not really. Dive doesn't really work against her because her range is stupid (especially after 12). Stealthies are a problem, but good use of your E can get you away every time. She requires really good positioning and a lot of forethought. Since no other hero ever released has required those...

Made a variation of AB's Fried Chicken last night for family dinner night. Blew the minds of the wife's family. Her Uncle said he didn't know you could make fried chicken at home and was like... what? Why would you not be able to? They are meat and potatoes kind of people, not really big on...

Cho'Gall had a win rate that low at release. Personally, ignoring my first three games as Chromie, I have a 90% win rate with her in HL/Scrims/QM. I'd actually put her in the brokenly overpowered category of heroes but most people just can't stop face checking bushes with her. She is another...

I usually just do it for a day, there isn't a super noticeable difference past that imo.

It makes eating out hard, but you'd be surprised how low you can keep your net carbs. It involves a lot of ingredients you don't normally use if you want to make sweets and etc., but fat has so much flavor you can do some amazing things. Check out the site I linked for Chaos,Ruling the Keto Diet...

Assuming you are pairing it with high fat, carbs that low just results in a Keto diet. Which many people have maintained for a literal lifetime, since keto was first used as a diet to deal with chronic epilepsy. You can go higher carbs and still be in nutritional ketosis if you are careful to...

Pyro+Power Word:Shield beats all the Mech decks 100%. They go for that first amazing turn, you wipe their board, and they have no draw. Upgrade+Shield Block is funny. Doomsayer+Fist of Jarraxxus does work vs a lot of decks, just keep playing tempo Doomsayers. Humility+Forbidden Healing...

Ruling the Keto Diet Getting in Shape - Guides | Recipes | Tips Is a pretty extensive keto website, which is inherently low carb. If she is pre-diabetic eating keto will help a ton with that, don't just eat high protein. Keto is high fat, medium protein, low carb. As for crab recipes, I...

Yeah, the difference is insane. Restaurants don't stir reducing sauces, they just crank the burner to full and the boil is so vigorous it stirs it for you.

They have better burners. They did this in Modernist Cuisine, they took each type of pan at varying thicknesses and heated them up while watching with an infrared camera. Turns out the most important factor is the ratio of the burner to the size of the pan. Almost nothing else actually matters...

This isn't Keto... nutritional ketosis is when your body burns ketones instead of glycogen. In order for that to happen, you need to eat a ton of fat. 2:1 ratio fat : protein by calories and usually 25g or less of carbs but it varies by activity and metabolism. If you eat zero carbs and zero fat...

It can summon ANY totem. There is a 3/4 totem. 3/2+3/4 is 6/6. Not sure where they got 7. Bad math.

Chrome's quest line for Strat was really cool, remember her fondly. This thread doesn't seem to get much action. Do not a lot of RR people play HotS?

I need to open one more Renounce to try it. Not willing to craft.

You actually did say Mage had the strongest hero power, on the tail end of an entire discussion about why Warlock had the strongest hero power. Then you said you were retarded for forgetting about Warlock hero power, since there had just been a huge discussion about it. I think it was more of a...

Man I want to play some N'zoth decks but don't want to craft him. C'thun Druid has been the most reliable deck for me so far, definite improvement to the game so far imo.
