That's her ass on latex pants.

The photographer specifically asked her to stick her ass out for the shot. Hence the banana pose.

This is why Valve's soon to be implemented strategy is brilliant.

Give everyone the chance to release whatever game they have.

Give the job of curation to the community.

I check the minimap like a driver checks the sideview mirror.

To see if Pudge is missing. To see if the lanes have crossed the river Fag. I used the minimap more than the main screen to navigate and move because the range of vision there beats any screen size.

I also use the minimap to click home so I run in the right…

I will always see LoL's derivative art as spoofs. Not even skins but the base models themselves.

The problem with spoofing popular themes is that you will never ever own it.

LoL is like a cosplay game. Whatever art you like in it will have an original somewhere. But then that just speaks for the whole game itself. …

I also think that Dota 2's art gives us a setting of a specific world. It does have roots in Warcraft but Dota 2 gave it context. In fact, Warcraft itself is derivative of more "ancient" worlds by other creations like Tolkien. What Valve has removed is the chunkiness of low poly models and the mascot-like animation…

This article reminds me of those comments people made about how this geezer nobody Paul McCartney got famous because he got to collaborate with the great Kanye West.

Riot patching LoL:

This is how we want you to play.

Ice Frog patching Dota 2:

Here are some changes to abilities, stats and items. What can you do to exploit this?

You can see how Dota players are given these game breaking abilities and the developers are just big fans of how creative people can get when given a set of…

Dota actually benefits from LoL players staying in LoL.

People who want to play MOBABOBACHUMBAWUMBA go to its default game which is LoL.

The only people who play Dota 2 are the ones who specifically want to try it based on what they hear from others. It's harder, it's more satisfying and you never play the same game…

The jungle wasn't even supposed to be a role. It was a tactic you do in Dota which you can decide to get in or out of over the course of a match.

It's like calling a hero a "laner". So literal. What's next, a hero named after an item effect like lifesteal?

"Most (if not all) League of Legends games are played on "DotA's Map," a 5-vs.-5 map which is divided into three main lanes that connect each team's base—located at the top-right and bottom-left corners of the space."

"Some years before, I read that he actually considered selling Steam, with the condition that the takeover include the other parts of Valve (not just the platform), it didn't work out in the end because the potential buyer only wanted the Steam platform."

That is impossible. Show me that article. That never…

Newell: Valve would 'disintegrate' before selling out

Your dream is to destroy Valve?

Going by that logic, it's like saying bad parents need to adopt better kids to be better parents.

You know what would be the dream? Valve beats Microsoft at the gaming and operating system business.

That's the dream.

That design is ridiculous.

The point of a rifle is that it needed to be that long. All modern designs were to make it as short as necessary.

This is why I think all 3D artists should take courses in industrial design. It's okay if you're doing graphic art but it's different when you're supposed to make things that…

Oh this is easy. I know how to guarantee cheat free gaming.

Have all online (not LAN) tournaments held on an authorized local LAN center for each team. So basically, it would still be an online match but on controlled environments for each of the competing teams.

You will require players to play matches on secure…

I used to pirate games. I checked my pirated game collection and marveled at how I have more games than the other people I know who bought legit. I thought I would have never owned so many games if it weren't for piracy.

I was wrong.

That is one ugly cover. Why does that "artist" still have a job?

A Photoshop artist can do better work modifying existing photographic sources.

I know this will anger a lot of people but...

COMICS ARE DYING.

The only reason why we have so many comicbook movies is because of the comicbook generation coming to age like the baby boomers were. People who grew up with comics have risen in economic power and thus affect the media and business.

SO WHY ARE COMICS DYING?
