Working on a new Shadow Shaman build with Blink, Linkens, Drums, Phase Boots and Manta Style. Then I just need to wait for Valve to release a Xmas outfit for him.

Once that happens I'll go into a pub game, randomly spout abuse in pub chat and I'll be the Vexing Hexing Linken Blinking Faster Rhasta Manta Santa.

The Riki parenting model: Once they turn 6 treat them like they're invisible unless they're attacking someone.

Yo mama so dumb Bane got nothing when he Brain Sap'd her.

Yo mama so dumb she thought the Monkey King Bar is where King Kong gets drunk.

You lack Perseverance.

That i7 2011 CPU is basically Intel begging people to please buy in to the 2011 platform, yes we know the next cheapest chip is $570 but you gotta trust us!

Just get a 1155 board and the $220 3570K i5 and you'll get 80% of the CPU speed (and maybe more with overclocking) or spend a few extra bucks for the i7 3770K for a CPU that outperforms the 3820 and can be overclocked.

Oh, and pair it with a competent cooling system ffs.

What the ... why didn't anyone tell me about this?

People asking about La Casa Del Vodka:

Yes I can host anyone who doesn't mind not being downtown. We have plenty of crashing space, blankets, sleeping bags etc. Our car can transport up to four people to the event. If there's no traffic we're 30 minutes from Key Arena (the house is half way between Bothell and Woodinville). We also have plenty of parking space so if you're looking to rent a car and see more of Seattle while you're here/don't want to be driven around by me you're free to rent a car and park it at our place. We are not located near any bus stops but are 5 minutes drive from a few.

If you want to crash here just let me know in Steam/TS. I can forward you the original real estate listing which will give you an idea of where we are/what the place is like. Also let me know if you have any dietary/other restrictions. Our household has some gluten free/dairy free people so we can accommodate you. We're not a completely gluten/dairy free household however so if you have issues such as celiac disease be sure to let me know!

I have a VIP ticket. Can I crash at Casa Del Vodka and have a lift to the group stage games?

I won't be able to drive you to the group stage games, but I can drop you off at/pick you up from the nearest bus stops (about 5 min drive).

I don't have a VIP ticket, but can I come to your place on the 7th and watch from your place?

Sure. I'll be trying to work remote/take time off during the group games so will be around, but I won't be driving around so unless you're renting a car you'll either be stuck at my place or using public transport.

How is your internet? Will I be able to dotes while I'm there?

Our internet has been kinda flakey lately, looking into it. We also don't have much in the way of desk space, but we could probably figure it out. Just don't play ranked games!

Downsides of crashing with Vodka?

I have children with autism. They're cute kids, but they're also smallish kids (4 and 8) that are behind on their social/communication skills. If you wake them, you're reading them bedtime stories until they fall asleep.

That also means no Dance Central competitions at 10pm.

So, I have a friend, for examples sake let's call him AttractiveAntarcticAvian, and he may need to bring a +1, are there any unused rooms?

It really depends how many people are coming. The shed has an upstairs with space for 2, but there's no bathroom in there so you'd be walking back to the house and upstairs for a midnight pee.

Let's say this gets popular among the doobs and more than 4 people need a lift?

Haven't really thought about that yet. I could potentially do two trips. Can cross that bridge when we get to it.

So, you're in Washington, and ...

No smoking of any kind in the house. If you're looking to take advantage of our local laws just please let me know ahead of time. There aren't any stores open yet and I don't know when there will be. In the event they are and/or other arrangements are made edibles + vaping are OK so long as they're kept out of reach of the kids and you know your limits.
