Geez i just realized how insane my lore notes sound out of context. on one page it says "write Ravings" "slaughter of goats leads to war" "religious persecution against readers of" and then a blank space with a small drawing of a swamp.

If anyone ever wants to stream from a mac, here's brief guide I wrote up:

Broadcast software: CocoaSplit
Video software: CamTwist
Audio software: Soundflower, LineIn

-- Set up Cam Twist

Select a video source. For each additional video source, click on PIP instead of Select.

-- Set up Audio

a. Install Soundflower

b. Open Audio MIDI Setup, create a Multi-Output Device with your usual output and Soundflower 64ch (you'll want to go back here later to adjust volume levels)

c. Go to system preferences for Sound and set the output to the new Multi-Output Device

d. Open first instance of LineIn, configure input from mic and output to Soundflower 2ch (press Pass Thru when ready to stream)

e. Open second instance of LineIn, configure input from Soundflower 64ch and output to Soundflower 2ch

-- Set up CocoaSplit

a. Select AVFoundation and CamTwist for video, configure encoding settings accordingly

b. Select Soundflower 2ch for audio

c. Add your Twitch stream key

d. Stream!

Unless you're going to back of out of that, in which case that's the pot calling the kettle black! And if that's the case, then I don't think it's fair to call him out on that!

I will not sanction stand-ins. If someone calls you out you gotta stand up and face them yourself son.

So I go to 40k night and a couple tables away there was a group of people playing Magic who were talking loudly (yelling, really, across the table to one another) about how LoL is, and I quote, "Literally just Dota 1 with any challenging mechanics stripped out and shitty balance", and then how Hearthstone will never make it as a game because it doesn't have MtG's deckbuilding.

It was more or less like listening to an internet circlejerk in person

typical sc2 fanbase

@moonbear wow... I spent 6 hours hacking together a solution, when OBS for mac exists >.< (to be fair to myself though, obs uses a different compression algo and the quality is slightly worse)

@Terranasaur just use OBS. you still gotta use Soundflower though for desktop sounds.

Also I never thanked him for the PM that he sent me a long time ago answering one of my questions. So thanks Seeker!

I never saw that one. What does Seeker do already? I saw a few blogs during the "staff popularity contest" but I can't remember if he's related to LR threads or Liquipedia...

Considering how many classes Trump has taken to legend F2P I think it's hard to argue that hearthstone is pay2win. It might not be as easy anymore with the importance of the new Naxx cards though.

If you don't care much about rank I don't think "pay2win" matters in the slightest either. I've run some pretty stupid decks in the lower ladder and casual mode and except when my stupid deck is especially stupid or my luck is especially bad I've rarely felt like I can't win. It's just a matter of not letting yourself get *too* salty when you get 3x leeroy shadowstepped.

He was chain-losing to heroic Sapphiron yesterday trying to one-shot (well, 2-shot) it, after awhile I wondered "since he's playing Warrior, why not Alexstraza?" but maybe he didn't have her on that account, or maybe the goal was to design a "budget" deck to beat the heroic bosses with.
Sapphiron looks so hard to beat without her though. He's got some pretty value minion to put pressure.

And the Paladin class challenge looks super RNG depending on which buffs you draw and when (especially if you get them before or after 8 mana). Too bad, some of them were pretty good (the Hunter one is hilarious).

Alexstraza doesn't work on Sapphiron or Kelthuzad. You don't need em at all. You can beat Heroic Sapph and Kelthuzad without a single legendary. REGULAR Kelthuzad and Sapphiron are easy, as are all the non-heroic bosses.

For Heroic Sapph, either a charge Warrior, or a modified Freeze Mage (no Alex, multiple secrets (mirror entity, vaporize, ice barrier, and ice block), x2 frostbolt,/fireballs/ice lance/pyros/Nerubian Eggs/mad scientists, and all the stall [x2 nova/cone of cold/blizzard/flamestrike) will beat Sapph. With the latter, just save as much direct damage as possible, use stall to kill his minions, and use vaporize to destroy necroknights (he'll attack with the highest cost minion first, which allows you to board clear easily), and use Mirror Entity/Nerubian eggs to summon additional minions to do the necessary face damage to Sapph to cover the shortfall on the spell damage (you can do 46 damage with just spells, but you may need to use frost bolts/ice lances to control the board, which necessarily requires you to use other damage tools).

Heroic Kelthuzad: well, you can either go with a modified Priest, modified Control Paladin, or a modified deathrattle Shaman (with Kelthuzad+Rivendare, but you should have those as part of completing regular Naxx).

Good morning everyone! Looking forward to the new Naxx wing. I think I'll have the evening to game which will be a pleasant change of pace. But I think I'll go to ultimate first :D

I don't watch LoL. But I have a question on LoL esports touraments: Given that not all heroes are unlocked in LoL, what, if anything, is done so that both teams have the same hero pool in tournaments?

All players have tournament region accounts with everything unlocked (except for the banned skins). Also, this might be better for the Simple Questions, Simple Answers thread since we don't actually talk about LoL in this thread (by design).
