Having just waited 20 minutes to go to sleep while the enemy team deemed that yes, it was finally time to push in, after getting the aegis they didn't need and finishing their farm that wasn't needed... I still like a concede option.

I do like the bayonetta style revolver heels. Nice touch.

If you can easily clear castle/forest you should be able to take those two bosses

or being a lich king/queen w/ conflux and just spam it a bunch and dance around for a while. Which is basically how I beat the forest boss.

The wait is over, Dota 2 is out! Thank god, I was being harrassed for the 8 invites I had sitting in my inventory for the past year

Well, So far I've beaten the first two bosses simply because I upgraded to the point where they didn't have much of a chance. While there is a high amount of skill you can just out-stat some things it seems.

Imagine: Bastard Kidz

Apparently they added some more tutorials and some new player game modes today

In general, supports are probably the easiest to get a handle of. Initiators for the most part aren't too bad, or ranged carries. Really the melee carries tend to be a bit tougher to do well as, unless you're lifestealer or something. I'm a fan of just jumping into it myself, I can't get interested in playing bots. I dove in without guides and just went by the seat of my pantaloons. Invoker is probably the only guy I'd look up a guide on, but I'm lazy so I just don't play him. On game modes, All Pick tends to be played with wild abandon, but can be daunting because of the sheer amount of heroes available. I like single/random draft because they force you to choose out of a pool, and really look at what the available heroes do. Single Draft will force you to choose out of 3 heroes, and you cannot swap with anyone. Random is a bit like draft mode in LoL, without bans, just take turns choosing out of a pool of 20 heroes. All pick may turn out easier in general though because you're more likely to be matched with newer players.

There's a handful of lords I would never try when you're starting out though. Like invoker, or meepo.

Oh yea, I've had that happen a few times.

I don't think anyone could possibly ignore that

On the prop 8 thing, I did also like how the CA courts said it would be about a month before there would be marriages, then 2 days later just said fuck it and started letting people get married. Prop 8 proponents tried to halt it, again, but were denied. I'm not gay, but Prop 8 is what got me out to vote, because I believe in equality. Glad to see that thing finally die.

hah

Well, every hero is effectively HOLY SHIT DIFFERENT. In sports, while there's different positions and strategies, they all pretty much catch and throw balls. Yup, that's how every sport is to me. Now I really want to see Nascar Polo.

Part of it could be trying to hold to the original as to not piss off fans. There was massive backlash when they released a slightly silly Ursa item set early on. People flipped out because it wasn't serious business and that it ruined the aesthetic for them. To an extent I see why, but I'm also always for silly things.

On playing early morning, it largely affects who you get matched with. I do early morning a lot you tend to be matched with a lot of EU players. Late night more likely to play with my own time zone. The americans tend to be more talkative. Unless I somehow anger a russian, apparently.

The Twig abides

Finished listening, love the Beverly Hills Games theme.

Doug the Hedgehog is about 3 seconds away from making an 80s breakdancing video.

The Dire will rise again

That guild stuff seems neat, definitely an improvement on the chat channel that really is easy to forget about

God damn it I accidently clicked on that. Now everything is ruined!

Now I want a Ken Burns style documentary about the Defense of the Ancients, as if it were an actual battle. That letter was the best

Yea I actively avoid playing bots, and force people new to the game to play against humans even. I just find that incredibly boring. Plus they haven't programmed the bots to call me the n-word yet so it doesn't feel like an authentic gaming experience.
