What if we could put the runes in the river into a magic bottle?
Or if we had an item that could turn some of your hp into temporary mana?
Clearly those ideas suck and we shouldn't listen to the community.

Had one of those games last night that makes me remember why we all love this game so much.
My team was all carries basicly, luna, Chaos Night, Weaver, and I had already selected Abbadon, so I went hard support because someone needed to heh
We had like 4/6 of our racks before they even had a tier 2 tower down. This game was all but over. But everyone had good communication, stayed together for the most part. They had a sniper and natures prophet teleporting and shadow blading all over the place, and we managed to turtle long enough and win small team fights a little a time.
Eventually Luna picked up a Rapier and they went down middle to win it all while I held off the mega creeps coming for our ancient with Apothetic Shield!

I still dunno why she was nerfed in 6.80. Her winrate was still ass and she never made it into CM anyway.
A small dedicated community is pretty different from 150k morons that spam give diretide.

They said 'Give Diretide.'
And Valve gave Diretide.
Clearly the masses are the way to go
Hold on guys. What if we swapped Earth Spirit's abilities so that the pull stunned and the push silenced? Huh? Huuuh?

Man, it is super easy to get rank A on the beast now, no wonder the bounty is now below $3.
Should had sold mine when it was high!

iunno. in ranked mmr that hero was legit winning 3 out of every 4 games someone picked her in. winrate on dotabuff means little to how strong a hero is.

Depends on the tier...I know a lot of you guys complained about ES pre 6.79 but at my tier, no one picked him. Out of the 50 games of all pick I played around that time, I think I saw ES like 3 times and maybe 1 out of 3, the person played him well. Maybe BM has the same effect.

Puck was designed by a community member.
I think people aren't separating groupthink from actual talent. There are some good suggestions thrown out all the time, I don't think great game design is something you learn from a book or university.

I agree. Imo, nerfing the leaving the map bug was all that was needed to deal with brood, that hero is sow eak atm it's almost laughable.

Forkball you bastard
I was watching Netflix in bed last night and right as I was nodding off I hear this strange noise that sounds like a mix between a ding and a watery plop. I sat up confused and realized it was a Steam message. I groggily get up and check my PC, and it's Forkball making an obscene remark about the qop of pain picture I posted in here yesterday. MFW:
By the time I got back to my bed, my gf had spread out and was now hogging 75% of the bed space. So I had to wriggle in and sleep on my back, which meant I was snoring and woke up with a dry mouth.
It's all your fault

Still probably more entertaining than missing it due to the endless stream buffering!

As I'm still making my way through the dev days videos valve posted I got to this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwv1G3WFSfI
Which is all about communication and games as services. I saw ned post a screen shot from it about cyborgmatt from it (and he mistakenly said it was from the arg video) but that part was fairly inconsequential.
It really talks about their learning process that started with tf2 and how they update and how they show updates (that 2, 3 day reveal stuff), blog posts, why you don't see random valve developers come and say 'yea this is coming' casually on reddit, community interaction and speculation, and yes, diretide. This one is also super interesting and stars everyone's favorite Australian Robin Walker. About 50 minutes long.

Time for some more Chinese sets tonight?
Might be the last week of them
Might be the last week of them
I feel like Valve would roll them out on Thursday with anther year beast round, or is there something significant about today in relation to the celebration?

They added the last two weeks of them on a Wednesday?

About half of them are pretty technical so unless you're really interested in debugging open gl and Linux it's smaller than you think.
Good ones in general:
controller
Music
Economies
VR
Communication
The arg one was kind of boring and so was the steam machine one.

dailymotion is ass for watching games, god damn
If you haven't, you should give the User Generated Content on a watch next, the actual talk is only the first 25 minutes:

ARG was pretty dull sadly. I think I'm gonna watch Communication next.

well, the game I was watching had 15k people in it, 720p lasted for about 2 minutes, then it lagged. 480 lagged next

That one was next on my list after this goofy linux one.
Oddly enough that is twitch for me, with Daily Motion is near perfect.
I guess they have servers in europe?

Behold what Twitch is like if I don't get on the right Euro server (I'm guessing 3 in 100 don't lag). Dailymotion is fine for me, apart from me seemingly getting random ads.

Let me be the first to say that I'm SHOCKED to see that some time off did Alliance some good.
*shocked*

Looks like we are getting a non-valve tournament with 'fantasy leagues' soon, it seems Dreamleauge is going to incorporate the fantasy teams into their tournament (Which starts early March). I wonder if they are even going to give out small prizes for getting a high score like TI3.

Fnatic having a taste of their own medicine.
it's ok freakinchair i still love you
cuz she was broken as hell? Wisp, batrider, LD, Morphling have never had good winrates, even in their prime. Dotabuff winrate is pretty useless for balancing unless a hero is crossing the 60% marker, it's usually just an indicator of how easy/hard a hero is to play effectively, and not an actual indicator of what's broken at the highest level of play.
no one loves you anbokr
seems like dailymotion doesn't auto-upload games right away, so you'll probably have to wait for the youtube vods
and it's so easy to set up livestreamer, zero lag or browser crashes due to flash in vlc!
Damn. Oh well.
