  1. The International 5 (TI5) - Dota 2

    You best not be dissing the man with the best nan, rOtk. http://www.thescoreesports.com/news/3318
  2. Life

    Congrats on the babby, hope it's formed well. Kiss your nights (and days) goodbye for the foreseeable future.
  3. The International 5 (TI5) - Dota 2

    The stream issues have been dreadful this time around, goodness. So many interrupts/drops.
  4. Other podcasts

    I adored your chat with Cara. I think the biggest thing about growing your audience might be to also ask your guests to promote their appearance a bit - you've gotten some individuals with quite a bit of clout on, but I haven't really seen anything from them about it. Might just be timezones though.
  5. International Politics

    The behaviour of the Troika in Greece has really been unconscionable. https://www.themonthly.com.au/issue/2015/august/1438351200/christos-tsiolkas/greek-tragedy

    I wish you much strength Gormanate. That really sucks to hear.
  8. It's also apparently a good idea to switch off a bunch of tracking settings both within Windows 10 and on a separate webpage if you're adverse to being tracked: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/07/30/windows-10-privacy-settings/
  9. Favorite Level in a video game

    You guys have already named most of my favourites, except Quake 1 deathmatch on the Welcome to Quake map (the level select one). I spent so much time on that map with friends at LAN parties trying out stuff like the Killer Quake Pack... memories. Also, the Many level of System Shock 2. The abrupt shift from clean to organic mess was well done and jarring.
  10. The 'problem' is that it's on by default and you might not want it to be turned on. Just posting a reminder.
  11. The main thing is to consider whether you want to share your wi-fi password: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2951824/windows/how-to-disable-windows-10s-wi-fi-sense-password-sharing.html
  12. Razer has been mostly excellent at dealing with ethical conundrums from what I've seen so I'm glad they're keeping that streak. I have to wonder why they'd even pay money for what is essentially a dead platform though.
  13. I Had a Random Thought (About Video Games)

    League does at least one gameplay mode thing a year, usually more.
  14. I Had A Random Thought...

    There was a recent episode of You Are Not So Smart about the different approaces to learning, specifically math, that seems relevant to this conversation.
  15. Recently completed video games

    I didn't look them up outside the game, it shows you which player was which symbol at the end. I only thanked the guy I had a really good time with. Seems like it's intentional to me. I agree that looking them up while playing would be kind of lame. I'm miffed that those stupid snakes kill your scarf by the by, it was getting so long
  16. Recently completed video games

    I played through Journey once (really happy to see it come to PS4, first console I've owned in a while). I had 4 companions en route, one of whom lasted for most of the latter half of the game. We sent each other messages thanking one another for the fun trip, it was cool.
  17. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Amai, meer 'ollanders. Welkom!
  18. Destiny

    Amazing.
  19. I Had a Random Thought (About Video Games)

    Fourthly: made by one of the creators of Forums Favourite Ben There, Dan That. I'm definitely going to pick it up once I'm at a low point in the cycle of my hatred of platforming.
  20. Destiny

    The normal mode tour of Vault of Glass was a lot of fun tonight, cheers again guys.
  21. Didactic Thumbs (Pedantry Corner)

    You're both wrong, it's Über
  22. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Yeah, he's been basically unbearable for as long as I've been aware of him, since the WoW days.
  23. I LANned it a bunch with my friends. Good times. When I was in highschool Doom had just come out and no way were the computers at school good enough to run it. Best we could get entertainment-wise from those was sending each other dirty messages via Novell Netware. Oh, and there was one PC with 'internet' access in a locked office that we could use to Gopher things. Pretty advanced.
  24. Life

    I'm always fascinated by American stories of taking the train. It's such an integral part of my transportation here, and (from what I hear) such a special thing there. I wish I'd had the opportunity to go on a train trip when I was on that side of the pond. Enjoy, Dualhammers!
