    Persona 2 question

    You don't need to play the first Persona game, but you definitely need to play Innocent Sin before Eternal Punishment as they tie in closely to one another. Generally speaking the most you will get from playing Persona 1 before 2 is small references. Innocent Sin is also available on ps1 if...

    Poll: showers. morning or night?

    Until high school it was only one shower in the morning, nowadays it's always one after breakfast (or lunch if I don't wake up till some time in the afternoon) and then one after dinner. Gotta make myself feel fresh all the time.

    Motivation,Exams and Life

    Also I wouldn't go as far to say as the final exams in your last year of high school will decide the rest of your life, so you shouldn't overly worry about it as there are many other options out there. Coupled with the fact you yourself aren't entirely sure what you want to do, which is pretty...

    Who has a brag worthy machine?

    OS: Win 7 Pro CPU: Intel i5 2500k @ 4.2GHz (only using air cooling, so might be able to get it a bit higher if i went to liquid) RAM: 2 x 4gb G.skills Ripjaws & 1333mhz (I probably should consider get RAM with a lower latency, but oh well, these work just fine) GPU: MSI TF3 7950 @ 1.1GHz...

    Bulding a computer ohgodhelp

    If you don't mind AMD I'd recommend getting a HD 7870 or 7950 since it's cheaper, in some cases, than a GTX660 (or TI), and gives greater performance in most games, especially with a decent overclock.

    Breaking an RTS Habit

    I used to do that when I started Dota years, and years ago. My advice is just to stop using the arrows entirely, it's too much of a handicap. The way I did it was just through forcing myself to only use the mouse for movement, your way can work if you find yourself constantly moving back to...

    A DOTA 2 question: Tips for melee?

    Razor's Plasma Field isn't the most important thing to dodge about him though, as his static link is what makes him so powerful, he wants you to stay close to him. The hero is built around that skill. It's better depending on the enemy razor's skill build, to just get the heck away from him...

    A DOTA 2 question: Tips for melee?

    Actually many melee heroes can lane alone, and are preferable if they do. Such as dark seer or beastmaster. It comes down to personal skill, hero skill-set, and who your opponent is. Also to be honest wisp is a horrendous hero to support in lane, as he has no real way early game to guarantee...

    A DOTA 2 question: Tips for melee?

    Yes, Huskar is a carry. Although he's fairly weak in comparison to most others, The again, he's somehow better in pubs than in scrims.

    A DOTA 2 question: Tips for melee?

    A TP early game can be a devastating item if the opposing team does decide to dive onto another tower early game, which can happen. So it's not really wasted to buy one incase, even if there isn't one you'll still have a TP ready. NEVER skip your team as a 1, I would only really advocate for it...

    DOTA 2: "Sorry, no new people welcome"

    I thought both DOTA 1 and 2 both use PRD on relevant skills. Anyways, OT: If anyone really intends to learn about a game like DOTA, it just takes time. I'd argue the best way to learn is to just play public games, or better yet with bots. I remember back when I started this game around eight...

    Other Hobbies

    Well I play guitar, and tend to write short stories every so often. There's surfing, and I recently picked up lutherie, which has been frustrating and amazing.

    Poll: Can you defeat yourself

    My other self would probably beat me up badly, if he had the guts to try and mug someone he'd definitely have something planned I couldn't handle, sly guy,
