    No More Bastion Please - How Overwatch's "Play of The Game" Works

    The Bastion thing is way overblown. Any player that has played more than 5 matches can very easily counter Bastion, he's almost never played by any player over lvl 5 because he's just not viable. If you're succesfull as bastion depends a lot more on the competence and teamwork of the enemy team.

    Poll: How Do You Hold Your Fork?!

    I've never seen anyone who precuts all their food, seems like a thing only parents do for their young children. I hold my fork in the left hand, prongs up. Only if the food is scoopable and doesn't require cutting, like rice, I hold my fork in the right hand.

    Valve Hasn't Given up on Paid Mods

    Why should they bother with improving Steam and learning anything? The chicken or egg dilemma is already solved for Valve, developers will go to Steam because it has a monopoly not because they want to. Valve can do whatever they want and don't have to listen to anyone. Greed makes the world...

    Go to hell, 2K. Sincerely, every Australian on Steam

    Just use the cdkeyprices website, way cheaper than buying from Steam. You can find everything cheaper there. It's only worth it to buy from steam when it's -75% sales. eg Fallout 4: 60 ? pre order, 35 ? on cdkeyprices. Your Xcom 2 is 50 AUD there. I haven't bought a game full price anymore...

    Mmm, aah! So spice!

    About the same situation here. I like spicy foods (not too much though, preserve flavour), but my sister is allergic to almost all spices except salt, pepper and green herbs. I added three drops os Sudden Death sauce to a plate of spaghetti and it was just barely edible.

    PC Help Please.

    True, I had a problem of a too small motherboard that came with my pre built PC, but if you're not planning on making a beefy PC then there's no real need.

    PC Help Please.

    Good price quality there. I'd buy a large tower and normal atx so you have easier replacement en expansion possibilities for the future, but you don't have to if you want to save +-60-70$. A large case also has more fans and better air circulation, bit that's entirely up to you if you care about...

    PC Help Please.

    Yea, PC parts are a lot more expensive outside of the US sadly. I paid (converted) 500 US$ for a GTX 970 in Belgium, on Amazon it's 340$. For Australia it's even more, seeing as that's very far away from the main shipping lines of Europe-US + extra taxes.

    PC Help Please.

    I'm no expert in this sorry :P. 750 Ti seems fine to me, It could run Civ 5 on very high at a reasonable fps I would say (I could run it on highest with i7-870 and Radeon HD 5870). I can't really help you with the PSU, 500W might be enough, not sure. Dont go below 500W though. A small 120 gb...

    PC Help Please.

    I use http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ to compare. If you choose between those two sets, your own suggestion seems better (with some modifications). The GPU is bad (Civ 5 will maybe run on low) for both suggestions though, the CPU is very good quality. It is strange to see that combo of a good...

    Meat

    Do you eat meat? Yep, almost every day. If yes, why? Because I like it. If your parents and everyone you know eat, then it's likely you will too. Would you eat Synthetic Meat? Probably, it would be a great way to reduce global warming since cattle produce 5x as much 'exhausts' as a car...
