WE vs CLG EU, Game 2, Season 3.

You got the season wrong. Also, it's more like games 2-7.

You have no idea what you're even trying to say do you.


I do.

I just don't remember the exact thing.

Whatever the long one was.

My bad, I should've just said "The really fucking long one."

It's clear no one got what I meant.

It wasn't realy a single long game more than Riot shitting the bed with multiple consecutive games with DCs late into the game that forced re-games.

Good thing it has "Guardians" in the title so Magnus will never take it.

If you have texting problems and want advice go to:

www.textjake.com

Jake Hurwitz is a texting Casanova. He's been texting since SMS became a thing. He was encouraged to start a texting service from his friends and family since they immediately recognized his unique skillset. Some general texting tips I've learned from the master include: Never say something is fine or ok, everything is always perfect. If you get short replies stop texting, they are not interested. Never text twice in a row, no matter what, the ball is in their court. Don't feel obligated to text right away, wait on it, it makes you look like a cool. Never be the one to text last. You want to have the power, let them end a conversation.

This sounds to me like every other "always act sorta standoffish and self absorbed because chicks dig that" advice.


well its not very manly to be sitting next to the phone texting all the time, you want at least pretend you have interetsing things you do (play league)
its also not very manly to be talking more than your would be gf
seems legit

Just how much should you be willing to change your behavior so that other people like you?


Well I would do those things naturally maybe too extremely to the point people will dislike me LOL
I'm not saying you should change you behaviour but your should be aware of the social situation
dont be that girl texting soniv when soniv doesnt want texts

people often change their behaviour naturally based on misconceptions on what they think girls want etcetc so might as well change it to something smart i dunno

Let's say I'm more comfortable and feel better sitting on the public transport with my legs reasonably far apart, but some people in the public would want me to keep my legs closer together. What do?

Stop being part of the manspreading patriarchy!

It's so consistently perfect in it's mix of excellent and excellent by means of being awful. The WWE network (which you can use paypal to get the american version of (it has all the videos and such) is honestly so good that I didn't even mind it renewing my subscription automatically (bought it for a day to watch Wrestlemania because 9.99 is less than ordering the pay per view through cable).

Currently reliving the JBL championship reign from my childhood.

I mean it has boatloads of things I hate (hypermasculinity / cisheteropatriarchy / sexism / racism / white supremacy / AMERICA FUCK YEAH / believe it or not old cena was worse / etc) but it manages to be my de-stressor despite all of those things.

If you ever want to talk WWE/F I'll be around.

Well I only got into it very recently, like half a year ago or something - started with watching random matches on YT, then went to a house show and after that been up-to-date with Raw and Smackdown. But recently I started liking Lucha Underground and NXT much more than the main WWE programming, so I'll probably only watch clips of Raw/Smackdown and stick to LU+NXT+PPVs.

But I had to sit until 5 AM yesterday anyway and I'm not gonna lie, watching that Rusev/Lana promo live was worth it.


I caught the recent NXT ppv and it was really good. Their women's division blows WWE's out of the water (although WWE's has gotten significantly better than it was ~10 years ago) and the rest of it was pretty solid too. Haven't checked out LU yet but if that's a recommendation I'll follow-up on it! Currently looking into figuring out how to access some of the (defunct) Japan leagues.

Well you have to keep in mind that my favorite WWE in-ring performers were Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara and more recently Kalisto, so it's only natural that I love LU. But then it's a show with very good production, pretty cool lore (it's basically Mortal Kombat live action show), regular male vs female fights and if anything then very spectacular style of fighting. And some of the stunts get really crazy.

[image loading]

As for NXT, I agree with all of what you said, although I've checked out some Japanese woman's wrestling later and it seems like west really is far behind in this category and stuff like Sasha vs Becky would be average at best. But between Finn Balor, Sami, Kevin, Enzo and Cass, there is a lot to like about that show :p


Smackdown was undergoing it's huge cruiserweight expansion when I watched as a kid, so I definitely saw a lot of Mysterio! Yeah LU's production quality looks really good and you / the few clips I've searched up have definitely sold me on it. Is there an internet based way to watch it, or is it cable-only for now?

Sasha v Becky is still the best western women's match I've seen, although Gail Kim (one of my all-time favourites) and Awesome Kong had a great fued in TNA. But yeah, it's pretty tough to compete with actual womens leagues that constantly put on good shows with great performers like Aja Kong (one of my mix-race heroes). I'll definitely be following NXT, since it's up on the WWE network so it's actually easier for me to follow than WWE itself!

So I saw this thing by Max Landis (creator of the amazing movie Chronicle) and it's quite entertaining and fucking hilarious. I seriously didn't know heck all about WWE but this kind of makes it sound like not shit.



Yeah that video was pretty legit. Did a good job of explaining HHH's character (which I would just have summarized as "champion") through the 2-decade formation of it. Also had a good number of small / minor references and such (SHOCKMASTER).

Generally, a lot of the older wrestlers (such as HHH) aren't just popular because of wild nostalgia (although it is wild) but because they had the ability to transform and grow their characters over the course of decades without them growing stale. A lot of these characters came out in the attitude era (around the first time for Degeneration X, in the video) because just before then Vince McMahon had a talk with a bunch of the wrestlers saying that he couldn't just come up with gimmicks anymore and that they'd have to put themselves into the characters more.

Don't get me wrong people will cheer for random old wrestlers at any time for basically no reason, but a lot of the now-retired ones that still get talked about and hyped up are these multi-decade constantly evolved characters, which leads to shit like HHH vs Sting at Wrestlemania this year being the highlight of the night. Best current examples I can think of would be like Undertaker, Big show, HHH, (all old) and then like Cena or Orton (~10 years).

Basically it's excellent and gets more excellent the longer you watch it. All of the crap stuff eventually becomes wonderful moments of "what the hell is happening" after your brain melts a bit. Have some samples:

Haha can I not, the idea of going back to the Gold Standard and a country willingly throwing away the ability to conduct monetary policy in the pursuit of an ideological war against inflation makes my head hurt. Heck I'll just let this article from the Atlantic make its case. (The full argument is of course longer.)

Referencing the Atlantic again, but they had a really interesting article on ISIS in February and the ideology that basically drives it.

Does limited get cheaper over time? I was under the impression packs were packs for the most part, value would only go down if the set sucked or something.

I also got my rejection letter today. Super bummed, thought I had a good shot and didn't get an interview even.

Stores may lower prices to clear out old stock, but MM15 is fairly in demand so I doubt most stores will put them on clearance.

Sorry to hear about the rejection.

For exciting games the SKT v Fnatic Semis and SKT vs EDG finals from MSI are good. But given the unique playstyles I don't know how much someone new to LoL can really learn.

For that I suspect Fnatic v UoL Finals, SK v H2k 3rd Place Match from the EU LCS Spring Playoffs and the TL v TIP 3rd Place Match from the NA LCS Spring Playoffs will be much better.

^Great suggestions. I can't believe I forgot Kyst4l's Draven game. That was easily the most fun game I've seen all season.



Or there was CLG vs TSM with Link's infamous Lissandra ult wiff. Which it wasn't the best game ever but it was a exciting hype NA match with a pretty large comeback.

Couple that with the US dollar being the world reserve currency and all the benefits that entails, and yeah. Pants on head stupid.
