you have to love google maps. a hop skip and a jump to the east you'll find the Hwasong prison labor camp. on some level it is pretty funny that the nuke center and the gulag are plainly there on google for anyone to see. On the other hand, think about the people imprisoned there who are forced...
The Earth has been in an Ice Age since the beginning of the Pleistocene, about 2.5 million years ago. In formal science, an Ice Age is defined as a period where the Earth still has ice year round at the pole(s). Ice ages are punctuated by glacial minimums and maximums, where the extent of the...
In strict terms being able-bodied is a privilege as well, but a much more widespread one with less visibility than racial privilege. Why do you think people get disability checks? If you are able bodied you can run! Go up stairs! Appreciate many forms of art! Hike! Enter buildings without access...
Lee sin is ridiculous this patch. I've seen him wreck as jungle contrary to what Nik said above. He's always been capable of insane plays but now it seems like his damage output is much higher due to the itemization changes. based on the last few games i've been in i'm starting to consider him a...
Yeah on some junglers the sustain and extra damage from spirit stone has been helpful. I've liked it on maokai, nunu, and cho. on WW i'm curious about the lizard elder upgrade because you get the extra true damage which works with his ult i believe. has anyone tried that?
some random thoughts after playing:
Pickpocket is awesome, but only on certain champs that can auto safely. I ran a game as support gp with pickpocket so every parlay harass was money in the bank get tha $$$$.
Playing support (my most played role) i feel so much richer than i ever did in s2...
Those were the days. My first char was a wizard - kiting mobs with blizz/hydra/teleport across like 5 screens (uphill both ways in the snow) just to kill an elite pack, and some packs you couldn't even so much as look at, like the undead guys in act 2 that make poison clouds upon death. Then...
Comparing offhands works fine for sources/mojos/quivers/shields. I'm not sure about dual wielding though.
the one i use is on d3up.com, where you can 'import' your character and then input a simulated item (could be real stats that you saw on the AH or made up stats) and it will compare the...
Yeah for whatever reason dota games feel more volatile than league (though i like league more).
i think part of it is that many dota spells are high cost/risk and high reward, whereas many spells in lol are low risk and spammable - so that 1 spell in dota matters a lot more than 1 spell in...
I main WD too but i'm just getting back into the game after 1.05. Would you say 4piece zunimassa is worth it for the extra mana regen? I've got the helm/chest but haven't sprung for the ring/boots yet. Also i recently figured out that although pierce the veil increases your dps on the screen...
There is - if you go a certain amount of time without playing a ranked game you start to lose 25 elo/week. However what you might be seeing is that the profile shows your highest rank attained in one place and i think in the friends list you can see their actual current rank at the moment...
yeah i can see why they removed ionic spark, combined with this item it would be ridiculous. It will be scary on kog if it applies his %hp dmg.
I like the new direction. The game really needs new items, i hope we can approach the item variety found in dota.
Yeah i've been playing a bit of lulu and think R>E>W>Q is the way to go. After maxing E i've been leveling up Q and W alternately so they are even. There are some lanes where i might go Q over E though, like against cait/leona/blitz i prefer having the extra poke range because you really don't...
hm that's true - iirc they also said tear is becoming cheaper so you can rush it faster. you definitely can't replace catalyst with (new) tear because then you lose a ton of sustain. singed is also a good farmer so it seems possible that getting tear 3rd then quickly grabbing a chain vest or...
yeah make sure you use the right runes/masteries cause Mundo can get quite low hp in the jungle at early levels.
have you tried Cho'Gath? has fast clears, good sustain, and strong ganks provided you can land his Q. Late game he's tankier than Udyr too.
Based on your highest attained (not current) ranked Elo, your Elo is reset to a certain number using an algorithm (e.g. if you're 2000 you end up at like 1600 or something). Your w/l record is reset too.
from my experience the dota2 community is pretty much like leagues. One thing i've noticed...
It's just a semantic game. The virtue of "tolerance" is totally dependent on what is or isn't being tolerated. (Not even sure how being willing to vote for Romney is a sign of tolerance to begin with anyway).
Say somebody is intolerant of racism and racists. Technically you could call them...
I bought the fans in May when i built my tower so about 7 months. I would reckon the first died in September-ish and the second today.
edit: and the brands were Arctic Cooling and SilenX
So i've had 2 case fans die in a row within a few months of each other.
How can I tell if this is a fluke, of if there's a problem with my mobo or PSU like bad voltage regulation?
PSU: Antec Earthwatts EA-500D (500 Watt)
MOBO: Asrock 870 Extreme3
should i try plugging the new fans i get...
he was making a pun. beloved patriot can be used offensively, but it also can mean a weak spot or vulnerability in something (e.g. he found the beloved patriot in my armor and stabbed me)
Humans are not the fastest animals, but we evolved to be very efficient at long distance running - no fur, and sweating keeps body temperature in check while chasing an animal across the african savanna until it collapsed from exhaustion and the humans have plenty of steam left.
In a paper about possible results of ET contact, they wrote that it's possible the aliens we contact could be space-environmentalists who would be offended by our mis management of the environment.
Is this a stupid thing to say, especially considering that applying human concepts and thoughts...
I think you guys are being a little unfair to pj. I know he's made some bad topics before but this is pretty benign.
And I agree that it's lamentable that the US can't make a bus for its own pres. Where I suspect PJ and i would disagree is how exactly the problem of losing manufacturing should...
If you wanted to be perfectly literal and say 100.0% balanced then this would be correct, but it is possible to have effectively balanced gameplay with asymmetric factions. This is shown in lots of games, Starcraft, L4D, even dota, because the balancing is based around "rock paper scissors"...
One, at night. I'll use the shower to rinse off the sweat after running/working out, but i don't use soap or shampoo more than 1/day.
I knew a kid in school that would go home in between classes to shower. He probably averaged like 4-5 a day, it was very ocd/bizarre.
I also recently...
A well equipped Hammerdin bot could solo Hell Baal/minions with minimal risk very efficiently, which is the final act boss. In fact many people leveled in the 90s by following bot-made Baal games.
However most bots ran bosses like Pindleskin and Mephisto due to ease of access = faster runs...
It's nice to think of it that way, because everyone likes to believe they are smarter and more civilized than those "other people." This is evident in your statement where you completely misdiagnose the issue of rioting.
Riots are a symptom of hopelessness and powerlessness. These are people...
Uh, but none of us know how rare items will be or how the drop tables will work in D3 so your second sentence is baseless speculation.
In D2 an MF bot would do hundreds of runs/day. You could leave it on, go to work/sleep and come back to a backpack full of goodies. You didn't need to find the...
The only thing that really bothers me is people who don't signal. Like if you're sitting waiting to make a right turn and a guy is coming from your left, so you wait for him to pass before you turn. Instead he suddenly turns down your street without signaling. GAH
