I agree with you, all the games are available on the Steam client. With a tournement like this, I watch the first couple games live at night, then go to bed and watch the recorded games. Headline should just be the name of the event, and only a click + scrolldown should have any spoilers.

Top to bottom, I liked last year’s team a lot better. Durant is awesome, but now they struggle to throw out nasty bench units that were a big part of the last two years.

These players really need agents and a unified bargaining agreement between Valve (or whoever the game maker is), the organizations, and the players.

Thought the same the entire way through. DNC is as blind as they are corrupt. So pissed.

And he was onside! That’s a beauty.

Nah, they offered me a partial scholarship (and Iowa is -- obvs — a great school), but I ended up in Ann Arbor because I wanted to live in Ann Arbor.

Actually, that’s why online retailers have legal and compliance teams responsible for following the regulations in all markets that they access. Valve is selling games in Australia, so it’s eminently reasonable to expect them to fully comply with Australian regulations or vacate the market.

Yep. And Valve is only party that can really exercise control over what is on Steam. If they want it to be a site full of steaming POS games alongside the much-rarer good games — and apparently they do — then I fully support customers having some recourse.

That’s just some D- level dirty play there, not impressed. Way more interesting and harder to discern ways to trip someone. The key is always to lose balance/control right beforehand, then lurch and take their legs out. Sort of think I’d expect Coach K to cover in the first week of training camp, right over learning…

There’s at least one story a year to remind why I’m happy I didn’t attend that school. Usually its more cornfield-type-stuff, but this works too.

YES! Age of Mythology was so so good and I miss it very much. There is far more to explore in a new AoM game versus a new AoE game IMHO (the Empires series is amazing (except for III), but they covered a lot of ground that Mythology never had the chance to).

I basically learned Grux, who functioned like Sven for me, farmwise, so I took to him pretty fast. All very interesting — read Aldora’s take too. I’ll have to give it a try as soon as figure out whether I like Dota anymore ;-).

How’s the new Paragon? Haven’t played since they changed everything, the old map/gameplay was pretty stale. And the matching was horrible.

The only rumor I’m legit worried about is IceFrog leaving. As long as he’s around he’ll balance and tweak and things will be fine in a few weeks/months/by the Kiev Major.

Just came here to write this -- pasted by 20+ people over many of the 7.00 threads.

These changes are huge: at least two new offlane jungle camps, three new rune spots (4 jungle runes, one by Rosh).

Smultronställ -- good word. Thanks Sam, you pretentious dick.

You know, the more I hear about this Vern Robinson feller, I gotta tell ya, I don’t like him.

True. Also, a point being forgotten above is how much experience a level one solo rosh kill grants. I don’t know what it is, but it’s a lot.

For some reason there is a large part of the Democratic party that has never been able to understand why pretty much the rest of the country can’t stand Hillary.
