    This is amazing! I lived in the area Tolkein based the Shire on so this will be fantastic!

    Goyer's Martian Manhunter Comments Are Why DC Can't Have Nice Things

    I'm not aware of his insults to women. I was going off the JLA version of him, the most popular version that has reached out to the most people. Growing up I never encountered anyone who even knew of Martian Manhunter unless I said "That green alient guy". I know who he is but most people...

    Goyer's Martian Manhunter Comments Are Why DC Can't Have Nice Things

    He isn't awfully wrong though, everyone here is just incredibly knee jerky because "Omg he insulted my fandom". It is a goofy name and when you look at what the character is and does, Manhunter makes no real sense. He is right, again. Martian works in the comic books and TV series because...

    No Right Answer: Is Game of Thrones Overrated?

    I think he's talking about the script writing, since he seems to be approaching this from a TV angle as opposed to the book. So, yes. You could lose the sex and still have the same strength and character shown, without resorting to cheap "empowerment". That was the base of his argument, if...

    Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Review - Auron You Glad It's In HD?

    Don't cut yourself with that edge there. FFX was a pretty fun game, I'm excited to play the international version with my wife. When we swapped stories about our likes and dislikes of the series, FFX was one of hers since America didn't ship the version with additional content. She is...

    Teen Kills Own Grandmother After Scolding - Update

    I'd rather just read the accused statement from the police report rather listen to implications from a forum theory crafter. Since, you know. He would be right.

    Teen Kills Own Grandmother After Scolding - Update

    Unless confirmed by police reports that the minor was angry at his grandma for interrupting his dota game at 6pm, then yes this is sensationalist. Just because the boy attacked at home doesn't mean he didn't do it because of the game.

    Tencent Is Bigger Than EA, Microsoft, and Activision

    Could you rephrase that? That won't happen. Riot sold to Tencent to get into the Chinese game market, which is where Tencent are based. They're not interested in Western Gaming. Riot still has control over what happens in their game, Tencent just dumped lots of cash into them and continue...

    Bethesda Hates Mages: 12 Reasons Magic in Skyrim Sucks

    I'm tempted to grab it and play it, I've always been a fan of the older games in the series. I should revists Oblivion first though, I never really played it much.

    Bethesda Hates Mages: 12 Reasons Magic in Skyrim Sucks

    You playing less than normal difficulty setting if you can one shot pretty much everything, one shotting does not happen so easily higher up. I haven't played in a long time but I never ventured into the dremora dungeons because I left spell creation well alone, which is probably why I do...

    Bethesda Hates Mages: 12 Reasons Magic in Skyrim Sucks

    Surely magic scaled in Morrowind? I haven't played it for a long time but the higher your destruction the more potent the spell, no? Magic was flat out broken in the earlier itterations of the game, which is why they removed mysticism & spell crafting from the game. Items like The heavenly...

    Let's talk about DotA 2 and its balancing issues.

    Nice opinion, but no.

    Let's talk about DotA 2 and its balancing issues.

    The mechanics are what get everyone, there are a lot of them to understand and some of them make no sense, like why some items and abilities use PRD and others are still using RNG. A lot of complaints from the newer players comes from people not understanding the mechanics - I get why people...

    Let's talk about DotA 2 and its balancing issues.

    You're right, I do not have to and if this was a game of DotA you would get a friendly commendation. I personally felt that OP might just need to hear it, whether you agree with me or not is another issue but this is the stance I'm taking.

    Let's talk about DotA 2 and its balancing issues.

    Hi there, I run the DotA 2 Escapist group and I have played over 2000 hours of DotA 2. I'm here to tell you why you are wrong. Clearly you do not understand the problem, not even close. I skimmed your post and I understand you want to swap out a lot of DotA's mechanics to be more like...
