Brew's is pretty good, but I love morphling's and Dusa's.
i thot you can't?
Only .05% of players have won 10+ ranked games
What the hell.
Edit: Wait, I think I see the issue. Its not .05% have won 10+ games, it .05% have "Completed" the Achievement, which is win 2,000 ranked games.
Riki backstab is pretty nice imo
You can actually, small window for it

Amazon.co.jp shipping games overseas is pretty huge
I wonder if they'll loosen the restrictions on Japanese Kindle manga too.Yeah but last hitting with Drow before 6 is terrible :/

I wish the 3DS was region free, I might have ordered SMT4 Final that way if it was. Atlus is dragging their feet on announcing the localization and it's making me nervous.

Yeah I held out on getting a 3DS forever because it wasn't region free, ended up going "Fuck it, all the games I care about I want to play in Japanese anyway" and just got a Japanese one.

Atlus has always taken their time with these things, regardless of if the console generation is coming to a close. SMT4 did very well, so I wouldn't worry.

So to those that have gone to previous internationals. I want to know how much these trips cost overall. I mean ticket, hotel, travel, eating expenses, and please do not include spending money on merchandise as I am well aware as to that in itself could even go up to the price of a trip.
Flight: $300
Travel: $6 (one train ticket down, one train ticket back)
Hotel: A lot ($1k+), but I paid to have a room in a hotel. Others have done the hostel or Air-BnB for much less than what I paid.
Eating: ~$25 a day. Free breakfast, $10 for lunch, $15 for dinner.
Drinking/other consumable material: varied, probably $150 the entire trip.

So was there ever any more of a statement from valve about 2gd
I think about $3500 for the entire trip, not 100% sure on that, and that depends on secret shop, drinks and stuff.
For hotel, flight, and ticket I think the total was around $3000

hot dang fellas... that is quite a bit of dosh. Especially on your part hylian. I was considering doing this but the trip is really expensive. I guess that really falls on what hotel you get I suppose and where you come from. ugh... Was really thinking of doing TI6 too
Eh, it was a good FV game what with core melee's and no save from it. Chrono set up both of your big team wipes.

i flew from houston and my flight was pretty expensive, like $500-600. i stayed at a friends place so lodging was fine for me. food was like $25-30/day.

airfare is a scam
The lodging is the expensive part really. Hotel prices in downtown Seattle get crazy expensive
Would probably be cheaper to not stay downtown, but I enjoyed walking everywhere I needed instead of having to drive or take transit every single day.
have you ever looked at a breakdown of the cost? it's literally like £40 for the ticket and £650 in taxes and airport fees. crazy.

nah, but it seems so clear it must be a scam. Especially with the price of fuel (at least in the US) being quite low right now.
IIRC, I think I read something about how when gas prices started to fall, people were anticipating airfare to drop as well, and it didn't.
Actually, thinking about it, I forgot to factor in that I stayed for 3 days after TI5 in Seattle. My girlfriend came up after TI was over and we did Seattle stuff (neither of us had been before). So really if you're just doing TI, a little cheaper than that. If I go to TI6, I won't be staying after.
On top of that, yeah, like you said, hotels can be expensive. You could settle for something dirt cheap, or Airbnb or something. Personally, I'm too uncomfortable with Airbnb, but I can see the appeal of it.
Oh and whatever you do, don't fly Delta. Horrible experiences with them.
It will drop in the future. I was probably going to go to Seattle for my Birthday to watch some baseball since I'm 99.999% sure I won't be able to go to TI and a round trip flight was only $159

Makes sense. Might just be a timing thing, though.
And Delta is comparable to most other airlines I've been on. I've flown them for probably over 100,000 miles without any more issue than anyone else.

The only issues I've had are with budget airlines losing my bags. I pick Delta most often because the extra legroom seats also come with a free booze drink and since I'm always buying extra legroom anyway (I'm tall) might as well get the ones with free booze right?
I wish I could fly at hours when I would be drinking
Next flight is Anchorage -> Chicago, leave at like 1 AM lolMy girlfriend's bag was open and everything was dumped out. Delta had it seperate from the baggage claim and didn't bother saying anything about it. We couldn't find it until someone else saw a couple of bags in front of Delta's office. She grabbed it, noticed the zipper was broken, but didn't think anything of it until we got home.
We got home and it looked like someone rummaged through it. There was no TSA notice, she bought 4 mugs as gifts and wrapped and padded them well. 3/4 of them were smashed. 2 of my demiheroes were in her bag and Bloodseeker was missing (thankfully he was buried in her clothes).
Needless to say, we were not happy about that, especially not saying anything. I called and put in a claim for it, gave them estimated value and Delta sent us a check a few weeks later.

This is true. I was kind of surprised they did.
Character creator is shit though but the rest is great.

Flying from US to Seattle, look into Alaska and southwest.

the game seems alright but it seems like there is a lack of enemy types
How long did you have to wait in line?
