i am always interested when an actor that has no real known ability towards a role takes something on. sometimes it's awesome, like jim carey in The Majestic (he doesn't act like a loon, and i realized just how good of an actor he really is), and sometimes it's the worst thing you've ever seen.

some part of me wishes that everyone wouldn't always roll good tanks to try for another carry. we had three ADCs, an ap burst, and singed last night in an aram...and singed rolled and got eve. needless to say, we got cremated. i don't get it - singed is super fun to play because you get tanky and still deal loads of damage. do people not realize you need tanks just as much in aram as you do in normals? along those lines is that it's really annoying when the other team makes fun of a tank that has a lot of deaths - even if that tank is setting up kill after kill. case in point - i was 2-10 last night as singed, and the other team is razzing me in allchat saying i'm terrible because i had so many deaths. it was 40-20 at that point, mostly because of a wretched zyra who missed her ult four times in a row and a sivir who never bought lifesteal and got dueled down by shen three seperate times. now, if i've got 15 assists and 2 kills when we've only got 20 total, i think that's darn good. i wound up having the second-most kills on our team at the end of the game, and being able to duel any two or three of my opponents, but the view that tanks are bad permeates aram and that frustrates me.

don't get burned out before hex comes out!

interesting that so many F2P card games are coming out lately, with hex, this, and that other game that PA was pimped a few weeks back (i admit i tried it but didn't get into it).

we did a bunch of in-house games last night with 6-8 people. super fun! we were all on chat so there was a bit of joking and trolling involved, and as long as a player wasn't trying to throw we all had a ton of fun. we did one summoners rift game 3v4 (50 minutes! jax and jayce got fed and we rolled at the end) and then two arams that were 4v4 i think. additionally, i don't know why i ever build ap on malphite. i had 675 armor last night and killed two champs with thornmail alone. never going back to ap burst. edit: as a note, i've never built that much armor before, but not only is randuins stupid (5.5s slow), the difference between 400 and 675 armor is only 7% more damage reduction (80%-87%). never bothered to figure out the ratios before. kinda fun.

nice =) on another note, WE DID DAT DUNK SQUAD LAST NIGHT. but we were terrible so we still lost twice. i think we did vi/darius/jarvan/trist ap/zac but i don't remember. we jumped a lot but mostly just died. first we turned into dank squad (at 3-12), then dink squad. there was a significant lack of SLAMMA JAMMA although we did facesmash an afk MF with all of our ults which was jawsome.

i would complain that you're drowning the legitimate LoL discussion with this crab battle of an argument, but there is none, so whatever

the fact that neblix is in silver IV and bardic is stuck in bronze is a clear indication of how broken the ranking system in LoL is.

a thousand times this.

i love aram so much. please ping me for games.

y u no pray with me

saw this on kickstarter, thought it looked pretty fantastic.

awareness is not a strong suit of some people =)

haha, which gamestop was this? i live in rochester too. there are a lot of supernerds in the area thanks to RIT, i'm noticing. i was at a party with some friends and mentioned that i liked some random rpg and got facemobbed by a bunch of neckbeards, it was super creepy. i already had one guy ask me for my autograph (LOLWAT) because he figured out that i was on ocr

updated, and a message sent to xavier too.

i got that, having played a few minutes of it before. poking around with it occasionally now. i never was a fan of zelda but it's still a fun game, and i love voxels =D

i used to work at a game store that isn't gamestop. we experienced massive theft EVERY SINGLE MONTH. shrink was often 15% of sales. we kept all used games behind the counter and only put cases out. all new games were always on a wall behind the counter and we'd get it down for you to look at if you wanted, but i had to stand there until you were done. controllers were behind the counter. only used third-party merch was on the floor. everything else was locked up or behind the counter.

i'm about six chapters in and i don't hate it, but i'm kinda ambivalent. i'll see how i am after this weekend.

followup: so i have played a few games so far. uncharted 3 was good, but i didn't think it stood up as well to other games in that genre. in particular, a newer game (Tomb Raider) just blows it out of the water. tacking on Chloe at the beginning and Elena at the end highlighted how much worse the plot was as compared to Uncharted 2, and the game kind of devolved into a run-and-gun by the end. not to mention charlie was brought in as this great bro character but then he disappears for literally the entire last half of the game. i didn't feel it held up well as a shooter compared to the other games, but maybe that's just favorable memories. either way it was still an entertaining and exciting game - just not the showstopper that U2 was. valkyria chronicles is an interesting take on strategy. i really got a bad vibe at first, which didn't make a ton of sense given the tight feel and frankly beautifully animated battle areas, and i think it's because i want it to be FFT HD and not something else. they aren't even close enough to compare so i'm not sure why i get that. i don't like the inefficiency of the running (i waste a lot of ap) and the drawn-out cutscenes or bad actors (WELKIN), but a successful strategy feels good. i don't know if i'll finish it though honestly. i'm playing The Last of Us right now. i generally don't like survival horror games, but this one compares favorably to Enslaved (one of my favorite games this generation) and the voice acting is stunning. controls aren't too tight which is a downer, and i don't like freaky games normally (i almost put down the original uncharted when the shotgun sequences started in the last third of the game), but the quality on this one is so evident i want to keep playing it.

you don't have a television at all but you want to play it via analog monitor instead? ps3: 300$ (i see slims used for 200$ all the time) game: 60$ monitor with HDMI or dvi connection: 125$ (a 19" widescreen 16:9 monitor would be perfect). where does a grand come from? you could do this for 400$ if you're willing to buy used. alternatively, hdmi to vga ain't that bad (look for a dvi to vga converter, and strap an hdmi to dvi on the other side...you can get them from various sites for cheap, monoprice has several that are a good price).

don't they normally do that right in front of you, while you watch?

i've had mine since a while after launch and never had a problem. i am not nice to controllers either. maybe different batches? or you're all just terrible, that's a possibility too.

HERETIC burn it with fire

i think it's hilarious when people complain about used game prices. they wouldn't charge that if people didn't buy them at that price if you can get a game for 60$, or a game for 55$, very few people pick the 60$ option unless they want to support the developers specifically. of course, those people preorder through amazon and get direct shipping for free or something like that. also, since people who buy a lot of games through them use their little powerup card thingie, they get an additional percentage off the cost of the game. so, that 55$ brand new game becomes 50$, or 45$, which is a pretty decent price for a new game that won't see a price drop for a while.

these are headphones by akg, right? updated.
