However, I'm more impressed by the "2% usage" of the total of all internet traffic, during their last Dota 2 update/patch.

That's a hell of a lot of bandwidth.

Jesus, I shutter to think what Dota 2 will become, in terms of it's internet presence, when it goes public.
I'm betting it'll be 200%.

But...but...ponies! Ponies are a fantastic reason to trust his word!
Ponies are a good way to keep a man honest.

Nah sarcasm is just the natural form of communication for asshole kids who grew up in an era where all socialization was done face to face, or at least over the phone with actual speaking.
I never understood why people despise sarcasm so, it can be wielded like a scalpel if practiced with knowledge and wit.
I was brought up with in Danish and British humour.

A great satire on the lack of self-awareness of PC gamers.

Because we lash out at things that burn us.

Also, because a lot of us grew up with the inane sarcasm of someone just saying "no...[opposite of what is meant]!"

Boy you guys really know how to stay on topic.
Joking aside, this is true, sarcasm is typically a tool for the witty and creative. A nice way of saying something so blatantly obvious that it would seem mundane to say it strait.

Oh and Valve being successful? Who'd of thought they had it in them.

Sarcasm?

Trolling?
Isn't sarcasm a form of trolling?
No. sarcasm can be used without attempt to troll.

i am happy that PC is growing once again. its time to take back what rightfully belongs to PC master race and kick those filthy peasants off their wooden thrones.
