SteamOS needs more details around it released before I can make any real judgement of it, but on paper the idea is pretty cool. I don't want to sound condenscending, but did you guys read the details on their website regarding SteamOS? First of all, it's going to be completely free. Unless they try and shoehorn you into running their OS somehow, then already there is no reason to complain at all. (Unless you were one of the poor sods expecting HL3). Second of all, the following quote from their product page: "In SteamOS, we have achieved significant performance increases in graphics processing, and we’re now targeting audio performance and reductions in input latency at the operating system level. Game developers are already taking advantage of these gains as they target SteamOS for their new releases." How fucking cool is that? The biggest issue for me personally, is whether or not this is all going to be catered completely towards the obvious announcement of their upcoming console and potentially "living room PC's". My parents have one of those, I don't know anyone else who does. I have a grim feeling that it probably won't be something for the "regular PC gamer". I honestly believe that this is Valve's venture into the console market. I mean, if this OS supports DirectX, which is unconfirmed AFAIK and I will be able to run it alongside the necessary programs for my studies, I will be switching in a heartbeat. If it indeed is just an opensource console OS for living room PC's and their upcoming console (Which it most likely is), then meh, it's not gonna be of use to me. Still cool though.

When I find time to play Dota 2 Fairy Bloom Freesia FFXIV: ARR (It's shit btw) All I want in life at the moment is a good RPG. I've gone through them all already and I need more.

Both of them are great. I'll say one word of warning though, Baccano! starts out really confusing and it actually almost (almost) made me drop it, because I couldn't follow what the fuck was going on. Then it starts clearing everything up and connecting the loose ends and then it turns awesome. Also, Baccano! is made by the same people who made Durarara!! and Mawaru Penguindrum, so it's got that going for it. In fact, Durarara!! is actually set in the same universe as Baccano!.

I was watching Durarara!! when I noticed something Hehe. Hehehe. I get it Brains Base. I get the joke.

I'm one of those faggots who keeps a list of this stuff http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Wulff This site is decent enough for that if you're bored one day. Just stay the fuck away from the forums.

How big is your backlog? I'm currently sitting at 78 shows/movies I intend on watching and it just keeps growing every day. Anyway, if you haven't seen the Monogatari series, I can highly recommend it. Although, it most certainly is not for everyone. I repeat, it is not for everyone. Heavy on dialogue, heavy on wordplay, several nods to the Japanese language that wont make a lot of sense if you don't know anything about Japanese (Doesn't make it unwatchable, but they are there). But if you can watch the first two character arcs (5 first episodes) and enjoy it, it only gets better.

We Zenbu now friends http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWVo6a_7_p4 Are you ready for Nadeko Medusa?

If I thought Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero were bad, will I enjoy this?

We used to have a Donator subforum back where I come from and it basically turned into a porn-sharing forum with a bit of circlejerking as well.

Valve intends to cater to the "Strong & Independant Woman" crowd. I personally can't wait, I just hope they've kept her a spiteful racist.

I would like the password, please friends. I have terrible and traumatic memories of my friends, along with simply horrifying fetishes (involving my friends) that I am feeling a compulsive need to share with you, my friends! I feel this is my last chance, friends.

Pretty epic meme there my friend, can't wait to read your thesis on how Dota 2 is an objectively bad engine port. Seriously, I wait with baited breath.

If you're worried about a level 1 gank, grab Firefly at level 1, if not - grab Sticky Napalm. You want to be maxing Sticky Napalm over anything else, it is essential for laning and you should be spamming it in teamfights, after you've lasso'd and your other spells are on cooldown. In regards to a skillbuild further into the game, I personally prefer maxing Flamebreak over Firefly (Get 1 point in Firefly at level 2 though). Firefly is mainly a positioning tool and the only thing that changes when you level it up is the damage over time from standing in the fire. Flamebreak doesn't get anything other than damage from levelling up either, but having a potential 300 damage AoE burst at level 9 is no laughing matter. Regarding items. Blink is 100% core on him. After that it depends on the game. Force Staff is a great pickup, as you can blink in, lasso someone, and then force staff out with them in tow. I'd dare say it is 100% core on Batrider along with Blink. If you're being bursted by magical nukes, Hood of Defiance is a viable pickup, if you're being destroyed by melee damage it could be worth grabbing a Mekansm for the extra stats, + armor and on-demand heal. Ghost Scepter is also an option. Eul's Scepter is also great on Batrider, by the way. More Int is always good, gives great movement speed and its active can help you escape/line up enemies for an easy Flamebreak. Lategame items should be Scythe of Vyse and/or Shiva's Guard. If you're worried about their carries, Scythe of Vyse is the way to go. As for boots, I used to pick up Tranquil Boots on Batrider all the time, but since they have been nerfed I don't know how well that works anymore. They lost a lot of + Move Speed and Batrider sorely needs that to get around before/during fights. Honestly all boots are viable on him. Treads for some extra tankiness, Phase for quickly getting around in teamfights, Arcanes if your team is lacking them and of course Boots of Travel in the lategame or earlier if you're dominating/farming well, as they will give you fantastic +ms and near enough global map presence. These items I mentioned all work great with Batrider, but you have to remember that there is no rigid build for any hero in Dota (Except for Blink on most initiators/vlads on Lycan/Ursa). You have to analyze where the game is headed and how best to deal with the opposing heroes and build items around that.
