The game was terrible, true, but you still fuck squirrels.

Wow, you sing along with Black Flag in your BMW, play board games, AND listen to Howard Stern?!? *clutches pearls and collapses onto fainting couch*

The two teams have played each other 281 times now, we’re probably past the “familiarity breeds contempt” rivalary phase and now into the “is this all there is in this miserable rectangular state” existential dread phase

So if you don’t sexual arouse anyone you have no gender? That must be rough for you.

play New Vegas and rejoice in the glory in the best game, period, made in the Gamebryo-era engines

I lived and taught there as an adult. Japan has some of the highest teen suicide rates in the world, TOEFL scores among the lowest in Asia (thank God for North Korea, amirite?) and kids who were routinely flummoxed when asked to create their own skit in English class, even if fed pre-written dialogue, because they’re…

Dota wasn’t getting any coverage regardless. It was just Yannick jerking League and Heroes

Except masturbation feels good and isn’t exceptionally stupid.

Considering guy with two guns, robot ninja and angel woman are trope designs I think it’s fair to say neither company is that original here.

“Say, what’s in this drink” is a well-used phrase that was common in movies of the time period and isn’t really used in the same manner any longer. The phrase generally referred to someone saying or doing something they thought they wouldn’t in normal circumstances; it’s a nod to the idea that alcohol is “making”…

The way I understand his (beyond flawed) logic, if women withhold sex from men, then men will suddenly start to care about sexual violence and stop men from committing it, or something.

It’s pretty creepy. Not that gory but even the soundtrack made me anxious. I did love it though.

They stated it was only a minor balance update as they didn’t want to change things up too much right before the first Dota 2 Majors started. After it’s over, we’re expected to get a bunch more changes.

Citing how ridiculous some SF characters outfits are doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Though, all of the basic outfits you mentioned are more reasonable than this. Like, at least mention Hakan, Cammy, Skullomania, or Mika. Most of Mika’s designs make this looks sensible by comparison.

Sometimes, when I’m driving to work, I think that I’d rather have a disabling accident than live through another week of bullshit. Not the same thing? Okay, I have nothing to offer here. Bless it, as we say here.

I would say that the difference is choosing to be topless because you are topless versus choosing to be topless so you can sell the service of allowing people to photograph themselves with you. One is how someone is dressed. The other one is commercial activity. Setting up a folding chair and charging tourists who…

Let us not forget. “Do you feel like a hero yet?”

Here’s an extremely impressive wood carving of Dota 2’s famous “Blink Dagger,” made by Reddit’s GremLinzTat. Do you think making this beauty took more or less time than actually nailing the proper in-game technique for using the teleportation device? Probably less. See more photos on imgur.

Coates is great. Not only is he smart, incredibly lettered, and well-regarded, he’s a great writer with an eye for how to keep an audience’s attention.
