Support NeoGAF

[Trasher]

it was mostly 1v1 at bottom, I am just the awful. I'll watch some vids I guess!

My mains I'll try and get decent:
Pudge
Necrolyte
Spiritbreaker
Elder Titan?

I'd personally wait to play a Pudge or a SB. The others are decent to start on. It's always good to start on the support heroes. Their spells are some of the most important to learn/know.

It sucks, but you shouldn't be playing carries until you know how to last hit creeps very consistently. Otherwise you are gonna have a bad time.

The Game & Wario miiverse sketch stuff on the giantbomb quick look and TNT are amazing. Its funny how Nintendo came up with a decent online hook.

 

[LiveWire]

Well I think I found my main for the next few matches. Went 7-4-12 with Crystal Maiden.

Rogue Legacy is soooooooooooooo good.

I want trading card support, though!

You rushed scepter and didn't buy boots before level 18

CB is CM

[Ferny]

CM is a whore so everyone can use her.

It's called Mario Kart 8. Coming to you in 2014. You should buy a Wii U now though just so you'll be set for when it comes.

Eh. Mario Kart for Wii was fun but it was so different from MK64. I just want a basic game without all the crazy items and vehicles and instead like 64 maps.

Screw easy starting heroes! It's all about Kunkka and Silencer!

How dare you call Dazzle easy. There are a lot of intricacies to being an excellent Dazzle.

You make a great Dazzle.

 

[eznark]

I haven't played Dazzle in so long. I just love dropping Golem's on fools. I think tonight I'm going to run my aggressive Dazzle on chumps.

 

[Nightz]

In for some Doto tonight.

 

[Somnia]

I'll be MMing all night after work, shoot me a message on steam if you want to join in, even if not a full team (6pm CST or so is when I'll be home)

 

[eznark]

What does mm mean

 

[BigAT]

What does mm mean

Matchmaking.

 

[eznark]

So like random pub matches? I see it in the GAF general chat in game and wonder what the fuck people are talking about!

 

[McNei1y]

We're talking about rapping to Eminem.

 

[Trasher]

It's just playing the game against matched opponents. Aka not bot games, not in house games. The standard way of finding games in Doto.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Hey did you guys win your game last night against that drow/slark team? I was watching it before I went to bed but it was late so I didn't watch the end. They seemed a decent amount ahead but Trasher seemed to be getting pretty fed as BH.

They won... They were really well coordinated

Is there a resource that lists heroes by abilities? Not like pusher, carry, etc. but by range/melee and AOE stun/disable, AOE attack, etc.?

Not really. You'll just have to click on a hero and check their abilities to find out that stuff.

 

[BigAT]

This has some classifcations. I wouldn't call it completely comprehensive though.

I don't think you can list it that way, but dotafire is a good site.

nm works

Is it a bad idea to start looking to move out when I'm barely getting money in from part time jobs?

Live on the edge! What's the worst that can happen?!

 

[Ferny]

No more DOTA can happen!

 

[McNei1y]

As of now, I'd have enough money to pay for 5 months. I'm then getting paid more money come August which would probably allow me to pay for another 7-9 months give or take. I'm hoping I'd get a fulltime job after that part-time immediately.

I just don't want to live at home anymores!

 

[eznark]

Move out. Find some shit hole studio apartment. Time to be an adult.

Those are the new headphones I got coming in tomorrow. Do I need to get a new soundcard or amp? Sometimes I also play from my big screen tv and I got one of these hooked up to that (and I can put my headphone in the volume knob):

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JJM8XE/?tag=neogaf0e-20


I don't even know if I would be able to tell the difference but you guys would know!

 

[McNei1y]

I agree with you. I'm moving out!

 

[storybook77]

At least you'll have some money since you won't be tempted to buy Nats playoff tickets.

If you can help it wait until you land that full timer and know that you will be living there and will be getting paid long term to be sure, don't let stuff like peer pressure or feel that ashamed bullshit influence what should be a smart life decision. besides who knows where you gonna work

and you need to have enough money to pay for at least 12 months if you choose to take that risk. I know it fucking sucks but if you can put up with it till the future is more clear you'll be better off!

That's a lot of money!

 

[ph33nix]

That's a lot of money!

not sure why the logitech is that much it really isnt that good. i got it for like 60 or 100 maybe 4 years ago!

This has been the mentality I've been telling myself for an entire year up until now. It's changing because it's getting close to the time when my friends' are moving out. I'll have to think about it for awhile.

 

[eznark]

Anyone want to dota?


Don't listen to pheenix. If your folks are so soft that they won't kick your lazy ass out and you keep that generation y "don't be ashamed of being a fucking deadbeat" attitude up you'll just end up a deadbeat for the rest of your life. Do you want to end up a fucking neckbearded manbaby or do you want to live a life?

I moved out at 16. Then I quit a good job and moved to Boston randomly with nothing lined up 6 years later. You don't keep challenging yourself you'll end up a cubicle bum going nowhere praying like hell you get Steve Middlemanager's job so you are three rungs closer to paid vacation.

yeah it's tough and if you can help it maybe move in with a friend to save costs

like holy fuck it's been five months since I moved from my apartment back to my house and it feels forever and I hate it but my loans are going away faster and when I do move out again i'll have a better peace of mind and I won't be tied into the area if I want to move out or end the lease early

as long as you're progressing forward with life and work you should be good. being stagnant is the worst

you'll be a deadbeat if you want to be a deadbeat

just because you share one roof with your family at age 24 or 25 doesn't mean that nor does it mean he isn't eventually going out

it's really dumb to move out just so you can be a man

also, you do know a lot of people rent house space from their parents or family members right? its more common than you think

 

[Sokantish]

I want to be a deadbeat

Aspiring to be a Man is single most important goal for any individual. It is that which encompasses all other goals.

I want to be a deadbeat

Livin' the dream!

 

[ph33nix]

I don't disagree!

Being a man is also being smart though. I'm just telling our friend McNeily to make a smart and calculated choice and not to make one based off emotion. Also trying to save our pal some dinero so that he can play NHL with us and afford non-shitty internet.

 

[Sokantish]

I can't believe you guys are having a discussion on what it means to be a man. Seems pretty girly if you ask me.

 

[storybook77]

How can you want to be something that you already are?

 

[ph33nix]

We could discuss how my friend is doing a photoshoot with Heidi Klum and how this is the closest I could ever get to getting Heidi's number
