  1. Hey I'd love to get a Dota 2 guild invite to be able to play with some nice people. I've only played with randoms and its taking me ages to learn anything, although I have become an expert at being yelled at for allowing people to die rather than letting them kill me as well.

    The circle of life! Actually Clyde we wrap it in plastic then put it in an acid free cardboard box for the rest of time! Syntheticgerbil: If you mean did I go to freezing islands off the north coast of Scotland to dig up the stone houses of Vikings and and repeatedly get drunk with congregation of like minded individuals? then yes, yes I did.

    Thanks dude I will! I'm absolutely loving it. The fact that its a little bare bones in some ways enhanced my enjoyment. Allowed a greater level personal interpretation to events and characters.

    I tell ya back in the day punching out Nazis was a common occurrence. Now I have to nag someone to do it and take all the blame when they fail to knock them out first time. I can't even remember the last time I quipped about someone not having a ticket You're right that I should try to work something out, problem is that my bosses boss is all for me doing the difficult projects lol. Maybe having a word with my boss would help though, even if it just lets me know I've said my peace. I've said the word boss to many times now and it sounds weird!

    Hi there, I've just joined the forums after listening to the idlethumbs and DOTA today podcasts for a couple of months. I'm an archaeologist in the UK although stopping that career at the end of the year to go back to uni. I'm pretty much only playing DOTA 2 and Banner Saga at the moment although as I play DOTA on my own and don't seem to be very good its less playing and more addictively subjecting myself to anger, disappointment and humiliation for 40 minutes at a time.

    My job (archaeologist) used to be awesome; Dig old stuff up, marvel at it a little bit then finish work and go to the pub. Problem is that after a good few years (to many to think about) I have managed to get promoted enough times to where I hardly do any digging any more and instead have to worry about budgets, consequences, producing results on time and other shit. Fair enough I get paid a little bit more but its really not worth it for the crap that comes with it.... So do something about it you say! I did! I applied, and got accepted, for a masters degree. Unfortunately now I have half a year to stick out at this job till it begins and my boss is blatantly dumping all the crap jobs on me because I'm leaving. Here's the kicker; Rather than fill me with happiness and peace the light at the end of the tunnel has unleashed my inner hatred of my current work and all but erased the low tolerance I had to the majority of idiots that I work with.
