I also wondered about that. If you put a unity ring on Templar... sure damage you take is split between you and him, but that means damage HE takes also gets split to you... wouldn't that just mean you take more damage overall since he's tanking the shit out of everything? I mean I guess it works for Crusaders and…

Oh god... wait until you are geared to a point where 1-2% increase on certain attributes becomes a meaningful upgrade... my gloves now cost 3.5 million to re-roll stat... i'm so poor now.. and I had 100mil+ just a week ago...

Depending on your build and play style you can actually go 6/6 and save the ring slot for something with better stats. I have full set Marauder (actually I got 3... that's how much it drops in T6) and I run with a Compass Rose/Traveler's Pledge combo for extra toughness.

Here are my thoughts:

- In high level Grifts…

I think my point is that 10 million dollars is 10 millions dollars... irrelevant of the source. If anything, it proves that Dota 2 has one hell of a community and popularity that they CAN actually crowdfund that high of a prize pool (not saying LoL can't... but they didn't).

It comes down to what metric we are using to…

Actually I think Valve put in 1 million of their own and the community topped it off to 10 million+.

Uh... maybe DOTA 2? Last championship was 5 times the prize pool than this. A million dollars is chump change.

Woaaah. I remember seeing this model in lego forums years ago. I can't believe someone will actually try to build it in real life. Totally donating.

It leads to smarter criticism and, so far, games and game creators have seemed more than strong enough to withstand, absorb and at times learn from the critiques and counter-critiques.

MY CAPSLOCK KEY IS LIKE SO READY FOR THIS.

Ah yes... Diablo 3...

You wait in great anticipation for its release, reminiscing about the old days of yore when Diablo 2 sucked every waking hour you had while never dropping that famed Grandfather sword.

Release day finally comes months behind schedule and you pop open that sexy package of unlimited promise and…

Are you kidding me? The entire reason I couldn't watch Voyager was because Janeway irked me so much... she was like a Kirk with the moral righteousness of Picard.

*Let's go of caps lock key* Aw damnit.

In all seriousness though, maybe all sides should really just back off. I never really cared for the Social Justice in gaming thing that seems to have become really popular. Ignored the first few articles... ignored the ones that followed... but then sooner or later I clicked on…

Diablo 3. WW spec Barb. Hold right mouse button.

*looks at his old art work*
*looks at Fabio's work*
*weeps internally*

I'm insulted you grouped us all as awful human beings. I for one consider myself to only be moderately awful at this being a human being thing you all have going on.

You know, I've been trying to convey your exact sentiment in words for the past few days and just don't seem to be able to. You've said it perfectly. Hat tip to you sir.

It seems that any "discussion" about gender issues these days devolve into two heavily bigoted/biased groups slinging mud at each other. Shame really.

Aaaaand some idiot on Twitter claimed responsibilty.

Started reading this article highly intrigued. Left somewhat dismayed...

WHOA... is that the same dude that did Mac Hall waaaay back in the day? The memories...

Why must you open that wound... WHY? *sobs quietly*
