I'll definitely be on later, but time is going to be up in the air. Rain is happening in my area for the next few days so I'll be on tomorrow night/saturday as well.

My best heroes are WR, ES, Lesh, Shadow Shaman and Death Prophet (usually solo mid for a quick blood stone).

Sounds good.

Start time is 2 PM EST

I can download it from my client when I get back and upload it sometime over the next day or so.

Bots are great for last hitting, but you'll learn so much more from a real game. I'd be happy to play a MM game with you guys tonight. I'm not great, but I know the basics, and I'm sure we can get someone better than me to help out.

Hmm, I've never played him as support. I think it would be really tough to do so.

Alchemist is a weird mix of heroes. He's useful in a team fight since his ulti gives him insane health regen (not sure if it stacks with a heart?) and his acid spray lowers defense pretty nicely (-6). The few times I've played him, I've generally used him to nullify one of the other team's heavy hitters. Unstable to initiate (even a small stun works), acid spray, ulti, attack, unstable again (this time full amount, 4 seconds) and you'll have a kill.

Alternatively, I've used him in conjunction with someone like leshrac or jakiro. A tanky, melee hero will initiate, you can acid spray/stun, then ulti while your support/pusher ulti's. You might die, but they'll definitely get the kill.

Edit: Purge just played a good hard carry Alchemist game.

The only question I have is why go Radiance at 35 min mark? Wouldn't it have been better to go for an MKB or Mjolnir? Only 300 gold more but seems a lot more useful. Radiance would help with farm early on, but he didn't really need it at that point. The speed and attack boost seem better. Anyone have any thoughts?

Derp, I pay attention.

Looking to play a few MM games with a full team around 8 pm est tonight. Anyone going to be around?

My office's IT department recently decided to install Invincea onto our computers. It's so awesome! That was sarcasm. I can't actually see what I'm typing right now, because apparently, I can only use IE with this system, and it doesn't render properly. Anyone else's office like to screw with them?

Hmm, I hope this pops up correctly. Doesn't look like any of the other themes will work. IE defaults the text boxes to white, so the white text is invisible. I guess they're trying to make me actually work while at work. Lame.

Unfortunately for them, It'S NOT WORKING! I CAN't SEE BUT I CAN STILL TYPE!

Best website EVER. When I built my comp 2 years ago I stumbled across this site and now recommend it for everyone when they first set up their new machine. Makes settting up a new computer so easy and fast.

One day while in college, I found myself running through the streets with no umbrella or jacket as the sky decided that it was going to downpour. Caught in the rain I sought shelter under a bus stop, until a classmate hopped off the bus and offered to share his umbrella back to our dorm. When we arrived he said, "You don't own an umbrella? An umbrella is cornerstone of a gentleman's wardrobe."

With that being said, as well as the conversation that arose around a certain pocket square (Found It), what does everyone consider to be a staple of a gentleman's wardrobe?

What are some of everyone's favorite sites and stores to buy said wardrobe?

I love wearing cufflinks for no reason at all. Most of my friends at the office think it's stupid and a bit of a waste, but I own 20-25 sets of cufflinks that range from Ghostbusters to a Superman emblem to normal, boring shapes. I'll wear any set to almost any meeting or event I have at work and have always either gotten a laugh or had conversation spring up a around them (especially my Superman links Awesomeness). Amazon has a surprisingly good selection of cufflinks but I also love browsing around Etsy to find interesting ones.

I finally bought a rain jacket from REI and it's by far the best purchase I've made in a while. I ride my bike around a lot and just keep the jacket rolled up in my bag. The random shower's we've been getting in the DC area have made this jacket a must have.

What's everyone's thoughts on the HUD/new icons for items? I was thinking the new HUD looks a lot cleaner and simpler. I'm looking forward to playing with it sometime over the next few days. What's everyone else think? Linky

New Lion as well. I kinda liked it. Fits his voice a bit better, but I was getting used to the old one. I wonder if they're going to update any others?

Every time someone mentions Magicka I feel the need to boot it up and play it. It's so much fun. I don't think I've ever beaten the campaign though. My friends and I had more fun surprise killing each other mid-battle.

This is fantastic advice. I'm helping my buddy build a comp before he starts grad school. I talked him out of the "gaming laptop" and into a stronger desktop with a cheap laptop. All you really need in a laptop is browsing, word processing, etc.

So I was thinking, since we have a pretty wide range of ages and skill levels in the group, it might be fun to do a over 21 vs. under 21 game tonight. Or maybe a best 2 out of 3? Something like that, just to mix skill levels a bunch. Just a thought. Hey it might be fun.

I hope it works out. I'm going to be late. Will hopefully make a second game.
