The only Dutch accent I'm familiar with is Singsing, a pro Dota 2 player who streams a lot. X:

Probably. Either way.

Well, apparently she actually is Dutch and even still lives in the Leiderdorp, Netherlands, according to Wiki. So maybe your ears are broken. Or, alternatively, maybe she was trying NOT to sound Dutch and it didn't go well. I haven't watched it, yet. D:

Besides, if they up and release a game called "Fatty" Bear today, parents will be in an uproar about offending their obese children.

More video games need musical interludes.

Whoa shit nostalgia bomb. Putt-Putt and Freddie Fish were amazing. You know, now that I think about it, Day of the Tentacle was my first point & click adventure game. Having satiated myself with that, followed closely by Fate of Atlantis and Sam & Max Hit the Road, I wonder why I ever even played the super-easy Humongous games at all. I guess... even if DOTT was my first, I was still a tiny child-thing, and those kind of characters and such still appealed to me. PUTT-PUTT GOES TO THE MOON. oh god i think putt-putt vs freddie fish was my first real fanboy-debate, that i got into with my brother, cause i liked putt-putt more and he liked freddie fish more At any rate: this is neat. If I ever have kids, I certainly wouldn't mind buying them these games. They were so much fun to me. X:

Self-censorship offends me. )':

I don't respect your face. (It was more of a "heh" than a "hee", but definitely somewhere in between. Maybe a "hee-eh".) I guess what it comes down to is that I liked the idea of the island as a setting, rather than a character. Once you start explaining why things are as they are on the island, it loses its mystery, and makes it more... important to the story than it should be? Kind of like how I enjoy The Walking Dead because of the characters and how they react to things, rather than because of the zombies themselves. The zombies are only important because they exist, not because of why they exist.

Yes, I know that's not what it actually was, but that's what it was portrayed as - mostly thanks to Locke's insistence that he was important to the island - until the Big Reveal later on in the series. I enjoyed the smoke monster a lot when it was just this Thing doing things. I'm also not convinced they knew at that point in time what it was going to be by the time the series ended. They could've literally taken it in any direction, and the one in which they did take it proved to be... unsatisfactory. To the rest of your post: this is mostly just difference of opinion, I guess. I have no need or desire for science to explain weird things when there's clearly non-sciency things going on that CAN'T be logically explained by science. It's all about context. If they wanted to explain the polar bear, for example, I would've been happier with the explanation that maybe polar bears got on the island thanks to the island's ability (or tendency?) to move around the world at random, or something, I don't know. That's shitty, but it's way less shitty to me than "scientists brought them here".

Also, I think people disappointed by the Battlestar Galactica ending need to watch the whole series again from start to finish, or something, because I thought it was pretty well suited to the series as a whole. I had literally no issues with the ending whatsoever, and I was kind of shocked to find that a lot of people hated it. But that's neither here, nor there.

It's not that. It's more like, I think the first two seasons feel completely different from the rest of the show. These dudes randomly crash-land on this freaky island with all kinds of freaky shit and freaky freaks and there's whispers and a fucking monster that no one's ever seen but everyone hears and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (actually I think they did eventually see it before season two ended - it has been a while since I watched it, obviously - but never you mind). Then they start humanizing all that mystery. Suddenly the monster isn't just a monster... it's a fucking spirit-thing that decides oh yeah you get to live because you're important or whatever. Ben's a great character, and I do like him a lot, and I don't even hate post-season-two Lost... I just like it significantly less for a multitude of reasons. Why is there suddenly a goddamn mini-civilization on this island? Why couldn't it just stay like "weird shit be weird, people tried to study the weird, caused weirder weird, oh man we're all doomed". I liked the atmosphere of early lost a whole hell of a lot more than I liked it later on. Thinking back on it, actually, maybe it should've ended at season one. Also, I was genuinely upset when they explained the polar bear's existence.

my god

Lost should have ended at season two. But that is neither here, nor there. I feel like you're pulling my leg, only because of the explosion line. ... But at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't? But, that is a joke, right?

I haven't played the game and probably never will because Origin so just tell me, do the cupcakes signify something, 'cause I just don't get it? Also, for the record, it's not COD. They did, in fact, pay for the cupcakes. It's just the result of some weird way that company does their billings.

Everybody already has The Orange Box probably so it's yours you win yay www.steamcommunity.com/id/twig add me

I don't want these sullying my Steam inventory anymore! so someone take them Droplitz The Orange Box Half-Life Sam & Max: Season One Nuclear Dawn Guest Pass x3 And I guess I have some coupons if anyone cares. They're only valid for three more days, though. Assassin's Creed revelations -50% (x2) Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes -66%

I was previously kind of down on this, just 'cause no first-person dungeon-crawler since Etrian Odyssey can ever fully appease my appetite unless it has built-in map-drawing... but then I watched the trailer and my brain said "fuck your appetite" and some time later I found I had spent money and now I guess I'm waiting for it to be released.

I think I'm the only one who hates LoL's shop. I similarly don't get the hate for Dota 2's. It's leagues ahead of both LoL's and HoN's, as far as I'm concerned. The item upgrade system is another story entirely. Dota 2's is undeniably more complicated that LoL's. But I put up with it because it's also more interesting. Some tips: Nothing "autobuys" by default (although I think there's an option to autobuy stuff in your quickbuy bar if you choose to do so). What happens is you buy pieces for an item, and if you buy all the pieces, and you have one of those pieces in your inventory already, walking near the fountain will combine all items in your inventory and stash to create the new item. Other than that, stuff always stays in the stash, yes. If you inventory is full when you buy an item, it goes in the stash no matter what.

I legitimately detest League of Legend's store. Also, I really have no idea why I preferred Dota 2's store before. Now, I know it's because of grid mode. Grid mode is boss.

I like the interface. In fact, coming from LoL, I find Dota 2's shop to be infinitely superior.

You don't anymore, but maybe the key I got (straight from a Valve employee!) came with two invites like they used to. U: Damn, that was more valuable than I thought!

Orv apparently called dibs on it for Patters which is fine by me. U:

That was such a rude game. It's been so long since I played Dazzle, and we were just destroying them... I forgot how much I enjoy Dazzle. Carry Dazzle! We almost started to lose, though, thanks to my recklessness and Kirby's lag. U: P.S. I have a Dota 2 Beta Key. Got it from Valve at GDC. The friend I was going to give it to got invited while I was at GDC... so now I have no one to give it to! Someone here gets it, free of charge! Rule of dibs.

75 minute games where I'm playing a hero for the first time (Spirit Breaker)? oh god i want to die
