  1. The final day rave will go down like the Blade bloodbath.

    Does that ruling come with any help with medical bills? Does Australia even deal with medical bills in that way?
  3. DOTA 2

    Hmm, I beleive they have blocked Twitch at work, so instead I will abuse my company phone's data plan. Edit: Hmm, embeded streams elsewhere seem to work fine. Edit2: Nice, used an HTML test page and pasted in the embed code from twitch and I can watch it there. Silly security team.
  4. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Do you have the newest GFWL client? http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/pc/DownloadClient I had quite a few fights with this installing it for Dark Souls for a friend fairly recently if you'd like help troubleshooting. If you don't care I can certainly understand that too
  5. Recently completed video games

    I beat State of Decay on PC. It's a game with a lot of really good mechanics, that start to get a bit old and show their lack of depth toward the end. Thankfully, it wrapped up pretty quick before I got really bored. I'm looking forward to seeing how their multiplayer game turns out.
  6. The Wolf Among Us

    Is that all of it then, or is there a 6th episode planned?
  7. General Video Game Deals Thread

    GFWL still works.
  8. DOTA 2

    Liquid made that look pretty easy.
  9. DOTA 2

    Hmm, is there any way to tell who's commentating each stream?
  10. Cards are generally worth .05 to .10 a piece, depending on the number of cards in the set and how popular the game is. Rather than bothering with trading I usually try to sell 2 buy 1 for the games I really like.
  11. DOTA 2

    Remind me where you link your Steam to Twitch? Edit: Nevermind, I'm already linked up. Click the little wrench next to your user name on Twitch, then go to the connections tab. Edit2: Did they have custom in-game art and voice last year? Edit3: So many different streams. I'm watching http://www.twitch.tv/dota2ti_noob#/dota2ti_noob right now.

    I suppose that's true if you could react to it in less than 1/60th of a second.
  13. I've always just sold the packs when they come in, but maybe I should open them next time. I don't seem to get them every often, despite having 50-ish eligible games on my list. I've been idling a few games every once in a while to clean up any un-claimed cars so I can sell them all at the start of the christmas sale for an extra few cents a card.
  14. The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

    I would throw in again on this. I can't see anything on Twitter while at work though, so I don't know what it looks like.

    When I originally looked at these articles, they mentioned that a new Samsung bare-bones model on there that they hadn't had a chance to test yet. I decided to purchase it, and I've really loved it so far. Only 2 HDMI ports, no in-tv app garbage, just the best screen you can get for the price. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I4OBXWI/ Edit: Oh, and a really good response time for video games.
  16. Crusader K+ngs II

    Yup, I've been running it since Rajas came out. Regardless, the save is only every 6 months now, so that's managable. In other news, religious authority sucks. I've got all five of my holy sites, so my default authority is 70. I had it up as far as 95 due to temple building and leader converting, but those are temporary modifiers. Now that I've converted everyone and built all the temples, my authority is slowly decreasing as those modifiers go away. At this point there isn't much I can do besides hope I guess.
  17. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    Diddy Kong Racing for life!
  18. R.I.P. Ryan Davis

    Yeah, I love Giant Bomb, but it still hasn't been quite the same without him. It's missing a certain playfulness and joy. Reading Patrick's short blog post and watching a couple of the videos has me kinda broken up a little. I really need to get that signed GB poster framed, I only wish it had his signature.
  19. Crusader K+ngs II

    I gave up on the cloud because it took so long to save and the saves happened once a month. I haven't had any issues with local ironman.
  20. Crusader K+ngs II

    No, it transfers over to India. The option to form it is available, and I have all of the counties necessary to do it, but I didn't meet a couple of the other requirements. I'll keep that in mind and see if I can swing it shortly after converting over. India does have some accepted cultures on its own though, just not enough to cover the wide range of cultures that I conquered during the last 30 year land rush.
  21. Areal (aka S.T.A.L.K.E.R. / Metro 3.0)

    I kinda want to see what happens.
  22. Transistor

    They show up again, usually around 5 levels later.
  23. Transistor

    Obviously, when you pick powers is going to impact what you have the option to do. If it makes you feel any better, I died completely in that boss fight. The earlier tip to use the end of your turn to get away behind cover is pretty much the best tip.
  24. Crusader K+ngs II

    Conversion went well, but I then realized that the complete lack of religeous and cultural unity in India would make it a nightmare to play in EU4, so I decided to go back to CK2 to finish off the last 50 years and try to bring things under control. Besides the obvious step of using your religion counselor to try and convert counties (which seems to work so-so at best) is there anything else I can do in CK2 to help get things a little more unified, especially culturally?
  25. Feminism

    In fact there is an effort to consider DOTA2 a real sport, as it will make the process of getting Visas for competitors much easier. For better or worse, it seems to be a goal that a lot of organizations are chasing right now.
