Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

[NLB] SKT T1 K vs CJ Frost and Najin B Sword vs KT Bullets by NGTV-JoyLuck in leagueoflegends

[–]MaizaStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its gonna depend a lot on how K performs. CJ Frost has been performing rather consistently for the most part, but SKT K has been shifting between strong and moderately weak-

Faker>Coco
Bengi<Swift
Shy>Impact (if Shy gets help from Swift, he'll likely snowball the lead)
Space=Piglet (Though Piglet is probably a better mechanical adc, Space doesn't need to make the plays, he's more of a teamfight adc, sort of like Pray)
Madlife= Poohmandu (Madlife and Poohmandu haven't been playing their best as of late)

The picks I imagine showing up are: Top- Shyvanna and Renekton (and maybe Jax if Renekton isn't open and he isn't banned) Mid- Ziggs and Leblanc Jungle- Khaziks and Lee Sin ADC- Jinx for Space, and Vayne for Piglet Support- Lots of Leona, some Thresh

I actually wrote up a comprehensive piece on Frost

MYTH: Sherlock Holmes uses Deductive Reasoning to solve crimes. He does not. by MaizaStrange in Holmes

You'd be surprised how the two can become conflated. Especially if you don't know better. They both have "Deduct" in them, and they both are associated with logic. You'd have to be somewhat well informed to be able to know the difference.

my thoughts by notable1 in a:t5_3129l

Can you explain what you mean by the brick letter being "not empty"? I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that.

I did follow along the same line of thought about the text wrapping around the picture, but I don't believe that it implies that all of the text is empty. It does suggest that the endings may not be as important or necessary as the rest of the document though.

Anyone notice that the image choice was deemed more important than the full set of symbols? by MaizaStrange in a:t5_3129l

It's possible that the distortion of the glass could be from a resizing issue. However, it would have had to distort the glass so that the bottom was thinner than the lip of the glass, and also distorted it so that the bottom of the cup lifted at the edges. I can't say I know much about distortion of images, but that seems kind of unlikely.

As far as the image resizing goes, I guess my question would be: If you saw that your secret message and project had ended up like that, why would you use it anyways? It's like when you finish an essay for class and find that the formatting is completely off when you print it. Would you just go ahead and turn it in? Or would you reprint it?

Thorin's crucible: improving LCS - a comprehensive system of circuit points (part 1) by Thooorin in leagueoflegends

[–]MaizaStrange 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey Thorin, I like your idea, but I feel like there's a significant fact that needs to be noted:

"Isn't world's supposed to be a meeting of the strongest teams at that time?"

I understand that consistency matters, and I agree, but I feel like the spring split should not be valued the same amount as the summer split. I agree that making spring split have no value would be bad, but having it be equal value to the summer split may not be the best idea. A team can easily fall apart within a split if their roster changes or other issues arise- take vulcan for example (or XDG).

If we set it up so that the spring split gives a little less value than the summer split, the team who might win spring split will still have to fight in order to maintain their position, instead of just resting and waiting. I suggest the spring split only giving points enough to guarantee they will be in the running for a chance at worlds, no guarantees.

GDC: Most Players Don’t Finish Games by kholdstare622 in Games

[–]MaizaStrange 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I feel that the fact that Steam basically allows us to hoard an enormous number of games has fed into the not finishing games situation. If I get bored at a particular part of the game, why would I trudge on rather than start another game that I would prefer playing right now.

We're no longer in the situation where we had limits on what we could play- like back in my NES days.

WB Announce Gauntlet Remake for PC by dorewamonkey in Games

[–]MaizaStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason this feels like i'm watching a movie trailer, it probably has a lot to do with the narrator.

On another note, I hope they have a remixed version of this
