I might actually be able to get TF2 on my computer, so that'd be pretty rad. I didn't like having to leave after League was done. Did anyone ever end up streaming it?

Judging by the overall games we played. FPS are much better for this sort of thing. TF2 was pretty funny even with people rotating in and out due to uneven teams. CS:Go would be good too. I mean we could always do random games with what guns you pick up(pro90 rush gg).

I don't know if DotA was a good idea considering that the large majority of the people playing were not familiar with the game. Better to play that as a group to learn first then add it on later in the game night thingamabob. I don't know if it lends itself well as a fuck around game unless everyone knows what is going on/what everyone is doing. I know there can be fun pubstomp stuff like in LoL as well. Everyone getting a dagon as first item(maxing it first) or divine rapier rushes. Still, I feel things like that require some knowledge of what is going on in the game.

In that aspect, I think LoL is more interesting. Most of us know at least the very basics of LoL I would guess. There are a few things we can do with it as well. For example, grouping up as 5 and everyone going ultimate bravery mode(I'm not even sure if this is the correct site for it) or everyone building the same items. I think it would make things a lot more smoother as well. And if all else fails, we can just play ARAM(with or without ultimate bravery).

I have no idea about PoE. People on the TS were stating that there is a 4 party limit. This kinda puts a damper on things. I also don't want to install it since I'm not too sure if people will continue with this theme every friday or it will be a rare occurrence to have PoE

I'll keep these suggestions from before:

SC2 arcade is free(although I think most people here own SC:WoL so there's no need to download arcade, but it's there for people who don't have it). Custom maps/scenarios are available and playable using it. There is a version of uther party on the arcade(raynor party), and tower defense games will never lose their flavor as far as I'm concerned.

Board games/multiplayer party games are pretty easy to find online as well: Tetris, whatever other game online that's multiplayer.

I joined a bit late, but that's my thoughts on today. I had fun, but thought dota2 was a bit of a downer after the hilarity of most people(including myself) not being familiar with the DotA 2 client/DotA 2 passed.

+ Show Spoiler +
I wrote too much gg

I take heavy offense at noone requesting a TL;DR for this. D:


I'm pretty sure I can be as wordy as you, but I just don't post as often like this to garner a reputation for it

It's not a good thing though, it only means I'm not very articulate which is a liability.

You just have to know this, but navigating the shop actually is 100x easier once you know the columns actually correspond to a logical means of organizing the items (each column also actually corresponds to one of the shops in War3 DotA).

Yeah, I recognised that, but I mean the new players won't necessarily know that "arcane shop" is "utility items", for example. I didn't mean it saying "this is bad" but "I prefer the clarity LoL's checkboxes offer".

These are configurable. I have spacebar set to center on hero the way it is in LoL.
It's not really fair to criticize DotA for not making the default keybindings the same as DotA when its still all configurable.

Is it? My bad then, I reconfigured a bunch of space but I don't recall finding an option for this one. Also obvious advantage to DotA for letting you rebind outside of a game, but we all know Air isn't going away in the near future...

Again, these are all configurable. It's not fair to criticize a game for having defaults you don't like when the configuration options are there for you to set it the way you like.

Can the brightness be configured too? I changed stuff here, for example using heroes' icons instead of simply player colors, but the issues I have with map layout don't seem to be configurable (maybe you can make the heroes' icons bigger on the minimap though, my point was mainly that for a beginner it's not the visually clearer there is, it's definitely enough once you get used to it).

About the graphics' thing, obviously I meant "in general" and with my own experience. Sven's stun is as telegraphed as Taric's for example, but I felt like it was an exception rather than the norm (obv. LoL as stuff like Fiddle's Terrify too).


Played some more games today, with a stack this time. Shadow Fiend is so weird—definitely not my style, Shadow Graze's range and delay took a very long time to get used to (71 minutes game because we had a prophet and I'm a scrub while the enemy team defended very well according to the other guys, at least it gave me time), and the "die -> go jungle to rebuild your souls" playstyle felt a bit boring/unimplicated.
I managed to fuck up a good 3-4 blink->ult by failing to estimate blink's range or missclicking, and being bad with Shadow Graze made me feel pretty useless overall early on (given our lead 3 fights actually broke out because they decided to bumrush the exposed raxes while I was jungling, which didn't help ).
Still, after building Blink-Treads-BKB-Shadow Blade-Butterfly I ended up with ~300 aa damage. I'm still getting used to casters becoming that strong at right-clicking with enough items, esp. since apart from 2 good ults (one of them let us snipe their drow 2v5 and defend our mid raxes) I was feeling useless in teamfights since I couldn't hit grazes to save my life.

Just came home from "Wolf of Wallstreet" showing... a tad too long but pretty good movie. Definitely gonna add it to my Bluray collection sometime this year, it had a lot of convincing...eehh plot! which i need in High definition.

Also is it pure coincidence that Hollywood has a Mandela movie done and ready to release a few months after he dies?

Yeah the wolf of Wall Street film was easily 30-45 minutes too long, toward the end it really felt stretched and I found myself wondering thrice "oh that's how it ends then?".
Some people have criticised it for the vision it gives of traders and glorifying it and stuff but... I mean, yeah, I know it's based on a guy's life and shit, but it's obvious when you watch the film that it's intended to be a parody. o_o When I got invited to watch it I expected a somewhat serious film off of those critics I'd heard.

Had the pleasure of sitting next to a elderly (german) lady who acted like a hipster because she's been to the states a few times. During the pause she complained nonstop how the movie wasn't the same as in the book and that there's too much sex & drugs.

Holy crud I had a random question and reddit answered it like BAM with interesting books and everything. I thought reddit only had cat pictures...

It's like the classic thing where you learn the simple thing in grade school, forget about it, and reality is so much more interesting.

To continue my trend of talking about games I've been playing, the new DmC was really good. Story was pretty meh, but the rest of the game was great.

The movie was honestly pretty meh. Idris Elba had a fantastic, fantastic performance but...

the movie was too disjointed and had way too many events happening; could've slowed the pace down or cut down on more events to significantly improve it. TBF they were working directly off his autobiography but eh...

I am sorry. Meepo is so fun if you learn him, it's alot like playing as Dan in Street Fighter. You try to do a little better each time. Unless your name is n0tail, then you just shit on everyone because you are actually just jesus.
