NOTE: I’m going to keep updating/maintain this post for the indefinite future, and hopefully follow up with more advanced tips and specific guides as I continue my League of Legends adventures.

Right, exactly. Well said! Read more

I’m gonna see how it works tonight but expect a STRONGLY WORDED BLOG POST come tomorrow Read more

The whole thing feels very Too Little, Too Late to me tbh. Read more

This GIF makes me think of that classic Homer Simpson moment: “Or what? You’ll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you?”

Oh god, THPS had the BEST soundtracks. That’s how I first discovered Del the Funky Homosapien! Read more

MOBAs, obviously. Read more

Ooops sorry! It’s $5. Updated! Read more

I’d stick with the base game. The DLC is really crummy and not worth even the discounted price, IMO. Read more

Yeah I’m not familiar with any sort of DLC like the one you described, sorry. Read more

Trap House III is honestly the only thing of his I’ve ever listened to seriously—i.e., repeatedly. I know it’s already into his crazy phase, but I honestly think this is one of the best rap albums I’ve ever heard. THE BASS ON EVERY TRACK Read more

This would be SO MUCH FUN IN URF Read more

The language in Steam’s post makes it sound like they essentially have carte blanche—Valve still applies the bans, but they follow the dev’s instructions on how and when to do so.

Just means that we have more time to keep playing Dying Light whilst hoping that Dead Island doesn’t continue to be an absolute atrocity. Read more

I never said fighting games were better for being longer! MOBAs are just different probably bc they come from RTS games. That’s totally ok! Read more

I think the way HOTS is shortening games is a neat idea since it lets you iterate (as much as I hate to use that word) at a faster pace. But I’m not convinced that’s the best way to deal with it if losing-not-being-fun is the problem they’re trying to address. MOBAs are like RTS games—they feel like big, epic battles.… Read more

I definitely agree that things like shitty player mentalities and stuff are always gonna be issues, what I meant here is that I think there are easy ways that games like HOTS and Dota 2 and LoL can make the process of losing still feel engaging, interesting, even—yes—fun. They’ve done such a great job making… Read more

I actually find a lot of the vitriol a lot more palatable now that I play with people on skype/curse. It almost starts to seem adorable when someone’s raging incoherently...like some tiny dog or cat is try to attack you and you can just fend ‘em off thusly:
