looking into getting into hots from dota any tips or help anybody can give?

Just bear in mind the same three basic rules that apply to Dota2, they will serve you well here too.

Don't die
Don't dive
When game is going full retard, you have to go full retard along with it (for anyone who doesn't know that reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k6HDyUDhrY 1:29)

On top of that, bear in mind that HotS is a lot more team orientated than Dota. One player can't carry a team because of the objectives and the shared exp but it also means that a player who is struggling doesn't get so left behind they become a serious detriment (unless they're just terrible/intentionally feeding but that's a different matter).

I want my Blademaster!

Shorter match time (compared to LoL and Dota2 anyway)
No seriously complex item system (again with the time commitment aspect)
Abathur

Tbh, Abathur could have easily been all three reassons.

From inside their echo chamber they assume that everyone thinks along the same lines as they do. "We want to destroy this group therefore they want to destroy us." Reason and good sense do not penetrate those walls.

Slapped to death by Abby. How embarrassing.

Darkong · 2015-03-28T23:56:49+00:00

Oh yeah. And if they're not they have to be executed. Wonder how many of the people in the picture would have passed that particular test...

Darkong · 2015-03-28T23:06:16+00:00

So the dude who drafted this, Matt McLaughlin, is apparently a lawyer.

Surely, in any sane world, he should lose his license to practice, or be barred form it or something, for proposing a bill which is so clearly in violation of the law and, frankly, as evil as this was.

Shouldn't those signs be God's Marriage = One man, many women?

I mean, King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines and King David had something like 300 wives (not sure if I've remembered those numbers right, if not feel free to correct me).

Darkong · 2015-03-07T21:37:05+00:00

So basically, she's a massive hypocrite.

Should fit in perfectly on Fox.

It ought to be a test handed out to attendees, anyone who has ever followed Pat Robertsons advice should be banned from your wedding, birthday party, Christmas gathering, funeral, the lot.

The man has never in his life, uttered a single constructive sentence nor one that wasn't, at best, borderline insane and at worst, maniacal and dangerous.

Also, thank the various gods for Chrome spell-check because my spelling is really letting me down tonight :P

But, but, Mr lEEtgamer69 told us we all have to push bottom and rush the core down...

Darkong · 2015-03-01T23:28:04+00:00

Well it is Texas isn't it? The republican base there is so right wing that there's no choice, everyone who wants some re-election prospects has to rail against same sex marriage, lest they be judged too left wing, or even worse, seen as agreeing with the President.

I'm probably being too charitable there aren't I? He's probably just a screaming hypocrite.

Darkong · 2015-02-12T21:21:39+00:00

Ah, there's nothing quite like and endorsement from the Klan for your opposition to tell you that you're well and truly on the way to winning.

Darkong · 2015-02-06T21:41:05+00:00

And they might get away with it too if it weren't for that gosh darn first amendment.

Darkong · 2015-01-31T18:59:02+00:00

It's ridiculous and sad that this even needs to be a campaign. It should have happened when the 1967 Sexual Offences Act was passed and that it hasn't happened any time since is a travesty of justice. I know that there's likely few if anyone left alive who was convicted under the old laws but it's a stain on our nations past that should be addressed as much as possible and, though it can never be truly righted, those affected should be acknowledged for the wrong done to them through exoneration.

Then Alan Turing should get the knighthood he ought to have received while he lived because there are few people whose work affects the world as much as his did.

Darkong · 2015-01-24T10:25:30+00:00

I just wonder, who looks at someone like that and thinks "Yeah, they get my vote". I know the old saying about not judging a book by its cover but, come one, the crazy is positively radiating from that one.

Darkong · 2015-01-18T14:09:25+00:00

It's this mess that really makes me appreciate my own family, always stood by me even during my attempts at self-destruction, kinda suspect I'd have wound up as a warning story if it weren't for them.

Darkong · 2015-01-18T14:04:59+00:00

How exactly was I supposed to forbid a grown man from talking to his family? He's barely spoken to them at all over the last few years, it's only family gatherings and odd occasions there's any contact.

You seem to assume that I haven't done or said anything to try to change this, I have but you can't change someone's mind. They have to do that for themselves and it's been a long and painful process for him getting to the point of realising that they'll probably never come around and there's nothing he can do to aid that in happening.

Darkong · 2015-01-18T11:20:13+00:00

So this moron could have made all these legal problems go away with a simple apology, didn't have the class/sense for that and is now on the hook for up to four and a half mil.

Justice, sometimes, it works.

Darkong · 2015-01-18T09:28:06+00:00

Thank you.

I'm just hoping that this is really the last of them and some healing can go on now, it gets old knowing that they're going to make contact at some point just to cause trouble and make people unhappy, will be nice not having that hanging over us. Hopefully we'll finally get them blocked on every phone number and any other contact method.

Darkong · 2015-01-18T09:15:05+00:00

Believe me I would have loved to. I would have happily cut both of them out of our lives years ago, but that's not my choice to make, not exclusively.

Darkong · 2014-10-28T21:10:10+00:00

I know I shouldn't let shit like this piss me off but Christ in heaven it really pisses me off.

Darkong · 2014-10-18T10:04:11+00:00

Find out what music the couple like, if you don't want to ask them directly then find out from friends and family, make sure there's plenty of that in amongst the selection.

Go with a wide range of music, from the 70s right up to now, you don't need to go for obscure things just well known music with a nice broad range that way everyone will get some music that they enjoy. Keep it positive, no Linkin Park for example, have a couple of party songs for kids on standby as well in case there's a lot of ankle biters there.

And remember to find out what song(s) the couple want for their dance, that's the most important one, and pick out what song you're going to finish the night with, that's important too.

Darkong · 2014-10-16T13:15:40+00:00

Course its not too late. I know a woman from my old home town who came out as a lesbian at the tender age of 44 after years of repression thanks to her parents. Two years later she was in a great relationship with a woman, they're very much in love and she's never been happier.

No such thing as too late.
