I'm having too much fun out of Merica, this summer though.

Anyone watching any of the GSL Thailand tournament?
Group stages were pretty much a stomp for the EU/NA teams with Stay Green and TDM both clearing their groups 5-0, although the Stay Green vs Orange game was pretty great.

Hoping one of the non-EU/NA teams can make it to the final would be interesting to see a different match up for once

There's someone that feels like remaking war3 in HoN:
That's madness. He might as well port DOTA 1 into HoN while he's at it.

Grand finals coming up soon
Stay Green vs TDM, best of 5 with Stay Green getting a 1 game lead
Dota on hons engine? Sounds pretty good
Hey Sebby I was wondering how segregated South Africa is. Are y'all like "yea man lets hit up the dutch side of town", or is everyone everywhere?
And how is the language distribution handled? Do most people speak multiple languages or are there regions where English/Afrikaans/whatever african shit is spoken predominantly?
Edit: P.S. freakinchair sucks at arkham horror.

It depends on what town and what suburb your in. Most people speak English, white people ( Boere ) speak Afrikaans / English. Usually you won't see a black / colored person speak Afrikaans unless they have a reason to, like they went to an Afrikaner school or something. Most people get offended if a white person speaks Afrikaans to them, that Apartheid legacy going strong.
My house is in a very posh area of town so it's mostly white / upper middle class black people, so I tend to mix with other races more, but I have friends that won't go to areas where there is a high percentage of a single racial group, safety concerns / Xenophobia. But it also depends on the city you're in, Cape Town is more mixed then lets say Durban ( Lots of Indians ), Johannesburg ( Coloreds / Blacks ) etc.
That being said, I'm on a hiatus from South African life, spending some time in Namibia where everyone speaks Afrikaans, to the point it's the preferred language over English, annoying for us non-Afrikaans speakers.

Swag you should hit up the Otjitotongwe cheetah farm.
I'm from South Africa, but I'm from one of those small forsaken towns in the Free-State no one has ever heard of that just happens to have gotten 3G recently. Just today I saw a donkey cart that parked perfectly in the parking bay.

What do you mean?
Also lol@ that hon defense in that dota2vlol thread. Keep fighting the good fight.
Started from the Bottom now we here.
I think the exploding "EA" means they might actually get rid of it finally?
That would be neat. Shame its too late for this game regardless.

I checked out some of the HonTour videos are it looked awful:
Intro: http://www.twitch.tv/honcast/b/392108835?t=6m45s
Holding the finals in an empty room, and on a weekday? Just embarrassing.

Sir Benzington and EA removal confirmed?

Big balance patch this friday, everybody's expecting a lot of very drastic changes.

I'll probably update. Midwars is still hilarious.
Huge ass changelog for 3.1 is up. Will it make me load up HoN? Maybe.
Some crazy big changes, some cool ones, some wierd ones. It's cool to see them really pushing their game around and trying to make it different. I always did love the emphasis on ganking and this seems to make it even more so.

The change to pulling is interesting, seems like pulls will be used more to get a support gold and xp as opposed to lane control now

Radial pings are just like LoL's.
New Gemini E seems interesting.
Hellbringer can summon multiple Malphas. Wow.
Kraken buff is nice.
:lol at Myrmidon, Witch Slayer, and Pebbles Staff effects.
New Puppet ult looks great.
No more Elemental pushing with Tempest out of range.
EP no longer an Attack Modifier. Could be better than Abyssal.
TP change should make it harder to prevent pushes.
