Nice got to the 200 rep limit today. Mostly from the lvl 1 teamfight answer

Jay

1:53 AM

Who has cait or lulu wanna play a quick custom game to test on the pix blocking cait ult bug with me?

Tristan

4:01 AM

Damn that was intense...

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan I did so poorly

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Me too

OrigamiRobot

I kept wondering why I stopped attacking after tumbling

Tristan

And now you know

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan I could have sworn that's not the way it was happening yesterday...

Tristan

4:05 AM

No idea

OrigamiRobot

I know where I can ask.

Tristan

Oh yeah? =P lol

dammit

OrigamiRobot

?

Tristan

I answered the question that you VTC'd. So I deleted my answer and VTC'd too. lol

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan Oh the level one?

Tristan

4:12 AM

So, RonanForman got me $1500 worth of free software today. <.<

Yeah

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan Again?

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Oh. I already told you? Nevermind then. <.<

Hey, how'd you get Mumble to show your avatar?

OrigamiRobot

Self > Change Avatar

Tristan

Does it show anything?

@OrigamiRobot It says "Denied: Text Message too Long"

OrigamiRobot

WTF

Tristan

4:26 AM

Weird. The pictures are the same size, but it won't let me use the other one.

@OrigamiRobot Got it.

It was a PNG.

Needed to be a JPEG

@OrigamiRobot Back-up'd.

@OrigamiRobot That's my favorite song in the universe.

OrigamiRobot

I feel like this guy is calling me a website...

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Well, you are a robot. Also... Who do you think the 3rd VTC is, huh? lol Give me some credit.

Did you watch/listen to that youtube link?

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan I assumed you were one of them.

I am now.

I feel bad about closing on this guy...

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot It's the song that inspired me to learn the piano and the violin. <.<

@OrigamiRobot For posting Duplicates? Why?

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan That's 3 so far.

Tristan

4:38 AM

@OrigamiRobot I see it... x_x

Poor guy.

@OrigamiRobot "I'm self-reliant." So I go to a site to ask other gamers for help.

wat

OrigamiRobot

What is this I don't even.

Tristan

lol

@OrigamiRobot What kind of music do you listen to?

OrigamiRobot

in The Bridge, Mar 16 at 3:25, by OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn Classic Rock mostly. Also, Celtic punk...

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot You really took the time to find the link for that, rather than just say it again? lol

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan It's more fun that way :P

Man, this guy does not understand...

Tristan

4:54 AM

@OrigamiRobot What do you think of my Mumble Avatar? lol

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan I think it is Fluttershy.

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot You are correct. Also, this video is so old. <.<

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan I never said anything about it being new.

Tristan

Touche...

OrigamiRobot

It's just nice to listen to.

Your video is, in fact, older.

Tristan

4:56 AM

@OrigamiRobot Also true... Damn your robot logic.

@Tristan 1+1=1

@OrigamiRobot 0+1=?

@Tristan 1

@OrigamiRobot Isn't it like... 2 in binary? <.<

Wait... Does binary go 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1, or does it go 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128?

Rapida

Awesome, who needs an AP mid when we have a graves -_-

OrigamiRobot

5:01 AM

@Tristan In binary, 1+1=10 and 1+0=1. I wasn't talking about binary.

@Tristan Depends on your perspective

Tristan

I guess I need to relearn binary... I was taught poorly.

OrigamiRobot

Decimal is [hundreds][tens][ones] etc

Binary is [fours][twos][ones] etc

Tristan

Bah... <.<

OrigamiRobot

I was talking about digital logic

Where "+" indicates logical OR

True OR True = True

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Ooh, gotcha. I don't know anything about that stuff. >.>

OrigamiRobot

5:05 AM

@Tristan It's my jam.

is my jam

Also

Ooh, I see a violin... clicks

The character Kennen really agreed with me in League of Legends. Now that I'm starting to play DOTA2, are there any equivalents? There are a lot of heroes/champions in both games and I (not through lazyness) generally aren't able to commit long periods of time to the game to try them all out.

Tristan

4:26 PM

@FAE LoL?

FAE

@Jay I think your answer saved it.

Tristan

@FAE My answer? O.o To what?

FAE

@Tristan wrong reply!

Though to you, what is this?!

Also I should pass for right now, I've been meaning to go to some laundry and stuff and I need to actually get off my bum and do it...

OrigamiRobot

@FAE You've been putting this off for an hour!

FAE

@OrigamiRobot I KNOW! AGH!

OrigamiRobot

4:32 PM

@Tristan [REDACTED]

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot wat

FAE

:3937156 Oh. If you wanna delete that reply now so you don't have googleable evidence of that...

yyyyeah

OrigamiRobot

lol

Tristan

@FAE <.< Delete what? =P

FAE

@Tristan doot dee doo

When my b/f gets home, I can play more Draw Something >,>

Ok I really need to go afk now and stop reading chat

ak;djfas

OrigamiRobot

4:34 PM

@FAE Hey, this is a distraction.

Tristan

Guess I'll go play something else. <.<

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan I get off work in a couple hours.

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Well, From 4~ - around 10 I won't be on my computer. But later tonight I'll be down for whatever.

OrigamiRobot

Sounds good. Maybe you can help me science something in Minecraft.

Q: How far are enemies knocked back?

Enchanted swords can receive two levels of Knockback while bows can receive two levels of Punch. How far do these enchantments knock the enemy back and how does it compare to the knockback from normally hitting and/or sprinting?

minecraft

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Not sure how I can science that out...

OrigamiRobot

4:51 PM

@Tristan It's a team effort.

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Oh. <.< Okay.

League of Legends Community - Announcements: Jurassic Kog�Maw Available Now!

posted on March 23, 2012 by NeeksNaman

Summoners! If you�re a natural history buff, you�ll be pleased to hear that some of the most prestigious yordle scientists that Valoran has to...

FAE

@StackExchange ...may need to pick up Kog'Maw only for this skin...

Jay

@FAE just need 3 more jurassic skins for a team full of dinos! count me in :D

FAE

@Jay Haha, who else has one?

Jay

@FAE jurassic cho'gath

haven't run across him yet? :P

FAE

@Jay Oooh. Nay, never saw anyone use that skin. I just bought him though so maybe I'll pick that up. :D

Jay

6:29 PM

@FAE Haha yea its pretty sweet looking. I like having a team full of similar themes. Pirate theme, ninja theme...jurassic theme :)

FAE

@Jay Hehe, yeah, I like doing stuff like that too sometimes. It's no fun to be all "LoL is srs bzns" all the time.

OrigamiRobot

@FAE I'm not good enough to think that yet :/

Jay

oh its always srs bzns!

:p

FAE

@Zam wants to do a Captain Planet team sometime because Ahri has her E for Heart XD

@OrigamiRobot Neither am I but that doesn't stop me :P

OrigamiRobot

@FAE I miss @Zam

FAE

6:31 PM

@OrigamiRobot I can poke'im if you want, I talk to him almost every day elsewhere.

OrigamiRobot

@FAE It's been so long...what would I say?

FAE

@OrigamiRobot :P

@Tristan apparently Hunger Games has a lot of shaky cam x_x

Jay

@FAE OHH I wanna see that

i read the series in like 2 days lol

FAE

@Jay I finished it pretty quickly, 2 and 3 were kinda meh IMO

Jay

@FAE i liked 1 and 2. By 3, Katniss was starting to really get on my nerves. she became so whiny and self pitying

FAE

6:36 PM

@Jay 2's pacing was horrible.

Jay

@FAE yea i think the first book set the bar to high for the sequels

FAE

@Jay Katniss started off as a really strong character and by 3, there was none of the independence or fire that made her appealing.

Jay

Dont laugh but i think i almost cried in the first book when the little girl dies. forgot her name. The one who was fast and moved around in the trees

@FAE I definitely agree with that.

FAE

@Jay I know who you mean, maybe don't wanna spoil in case there's other people here who wanna read.

Jay

@FAE oops sorry forgot. Although it is ambiguous enough

FAE

6:39 PM

@Jay I thought that was very moving too, though.

Apparently the buzz is that "Hunger Games will be bigger than Twilight" ...yay? >_>

Jay

@FAE oh god... lol who said that?

FAE

@Jay General media

Blem

@FAE isn't it just a remake of battle royal?

Jay

I am pretty sure the hunger games will attract a lot more attention than just prepubescent teen girls

@Blem it is very similar in the context but the story isnt isn't the same i dont think

FAE

@Blem It's not really a remake. I read Battle Royale (the novel and the manga) long before I read Hunger Games and was also skeptical about HG. The core notion is the same, but there's a lot more politics and stuff in HG.

I do like BR better, because I think you get to know the other characters more, but HG is also intended to be a kid's book and as such, is not nearly as deep.

well, "young adult"

not like, children

Blem

6:43 PM

ok, maybe i should hear it the(can get the audio book for free because I'm dyslexic)

FAE

@Blem They're very short, so it shouldn't take you too long!

Jay

Yea the book stays pretty "clean"

Brandon

Crap. Now I need more RP to get a Kog skin. LOL

Jay

@Brandon yea... lol is freaking expensive for 'free' game

FAE

@Jay On the upside, you can't 'pay-to-win' at least.

Brandon

6:47 PM

@Jay I've been "lucky" so far in that I haven't had to invest any money into it... yet.

FAE

It's all cosmetic.

Blem

i haven't spend any money on it yet, but would really like the urgot robot skin

Brandon

@FAE True. I do like that about it.

FAE

I've spent... I dunno, $20 on RP maybe?

I've only been playing since October.

Jay

@Brandon i didn't start spending money until after lvl 30

FAE

6:48 PM

So that's less than a typical MMO sub per month.

Jay

i was adament that i wouldnt be trapped into spending money...

Brandon

Well, I'm safe then. I'm still only level 21

FAE

@Jay You know you want the fun skins!

@Brandon Haha I'm only 22 or so but I've still spent cash on skins XD

Jay

@FAE i do :( lol it's impossible to resist

cowgirl mf

reverse annie

cottontail teemo!!! :3

i think the cottontail was my first skin i ever bought

FAE

@Jay Haha @Tristan has that one, we played together once when he used it, it's super hilarious

Jay

6:50 PM

and honestly i dont know how i was able to resist buying it until level 30

you freaking lay easter eggs, if thats not cute then you have no soul

Blem

im level 20 on nordic, 6 on eu west and 4 on NA

Brandon

I'm still skinless, I've got like 10 champs though.

Jay

@Brandon yea i didnt have many when i was about 20

Brandon

Well, minus the 2 free Riot skins.

Jay

i wasn't sure who to buy so i just saved up until i figured out who i really wanted

Brandon

6:52 PM

Bought Ashe, found out I didn't like her that much. Same with Annie. Got Soraka and got hooked playing support.

That led to Sona and Janna. :P

Jay

@Brandon yea i like supports too

i was super excited about lulu but i dont really consider that a support

Brandon

Lulu looks fun. Gonna have to save up IP for a while and get her.

Jay

sort of like how i dont consider morgana and lux a support even though they are appended that tag in the champion categories

Brandon

Yeah, I've got morg. I don't play at all like a support. If my buddy is getting nailed, he might get a shield. Depends on whether it's going to affect my blowing stuff up or not. LOL

Jay

@Brandon lol you obviously have a different definition of "getting nailed" than i do, or maybe i just have a dirty mind

Brandon

6:55 PM

haha

It kinda equates to the same thing, I think. :D

Jay

Hmmm yea i guess in the figurative sense haha good point

Brandon

I'm more likely to just run in the middle of the other champs and ult at that point.

Jay

Zonya's hourglass and morgana ult freaking wins team fights so hard

FAE

@Jay I like maining Morg but it makes me raise an eyebrow that she's labeled "support"

Jay

@FAE yea honestly, i think anyone with a shield of some sort is plopped in that category

FAE

6:57 PM

Yeah, I think it's kinda silly

Brandon

Yep

Jay

@FAE im curious, are you a girl or a guy. In the cooking chat, it wasn't until after a good 2 weeks of talking to someone did i realize the person was male rather than female.

So i've learned to not make assumptions :P

FAE

@Jay Female

Jay

Ahhh so they do exist!

FAE

Apparently!

Tristan

7:32 PM

@FAE I tried Orianna out last night. >.>

FAE

@Tristan How'd it go?

Tristan

@FAE 7/7/38... Against Int bots.

Jay

@Tristan lotsa assists at least :)

FAE

@Tristan Ha, nice!

I know Zam has a lot of fun on her.

I want to try her this week but I won't get around to it until Monday

Tristan

@FAE I enjoyed her. It just seemed odd that Strix had the 2nd highest kill total with Sejuani. >.>

FAE

7:36 PM

weekend's starting now! Later all :D

Jay

later

Tristan

@FAE See ya!

Brandon

Bye!

I like playing against the bots. It's so easy to rack up ridiculous scores, especially assists.

Tristan

@Brandon I refuse to play real people... >.> So I only do Co-op vs. AI.

Brandon

7:44 PM

I get a wild hankering for some abuse every now and then so I end up playing some Blind Pick PvP. I've only done a couple of Draft pick games so far.

Probably do more of those once I hit 30.

Tristan

@Brandon What level are you currently?

Brandon

21 or so, I think. Been a couple of weeks since I've gotten any LoL in. :|

Tristan

I just hit 17 last night... <.<

Ooh.. I'm up to 46 champions owned. =3 Yay!

OrigamiRobot

Need moar XP!

Brandon

I've only got ~10 champs. And I only play like 3 or 4 of them. Sona, Morg, Kog.

Tristan

7:49 PM

@Brandon I have a pretty lengthy list of champions I play... But I prefer AD carries or solo-mid casters.

Brandon

I've ended up soloing mid on Sona a couple of times. That's pretty funny.

Build all AP and mana / regen items.

Tristan

@Brandon If I'm playing solo-mid I'll usually go with Ryze or Veigar.

Brandon

@Tristan Yeah, I'd rather play someone else. The couple of times it happened was in 5v5 blind pick and no one communicated. 2 guys go bot, 2 go top (cause they're buds or something) and I'm like... uh... ok... I guess I'll go mid.

Tristan

lol

Brandon

First time it happened, I had already picked my level 1 skill as heal, so I was kinda boned until I leveled.

Tristan

7:54 PM

Ouch. o.o That would be pretty crappy.

I've never used Sona though.

Brandon

She's a pretty pokey support. I have lots of fun on her. Especially if I can skip some of the support items and build out AP.

Sona w/ 200+ AP gets kinda painful. And her heals hit like a truck at that point.

At that point, I start looking for spell pen. :)

Tristan

@Brandon AP is why I like Veigar so much... I've finished games with him sitting at close to 600

Brandon

@Tristan That's gotta hurt. LOL

Tristan

@Brandon No worse than when I finish games with Sion at 5k+ health. =P

Brandon

@Tristan Never played Sion. How is he? I think I've only got 2 melee champs - Yi and Alistar.

And I don't really play either of them

Tristan

8:07 PM

@Brandon He's a lot of fun. His E is a passive that increases damage at a cost to his health, but when he gets a kill with it, it increases his HP. And a lot of his abilities scale off of his HP, like Ryze scaling off of his mana.

Brandon

@Tristan That sounds like fun. I'll have to give him a shot the next time he's free.

Tristan

@Brandon He starts off slow, but once you get some +attack speed and +health items on him, he's hard to kill.

Q: League of Legends like a Pro

My question is quite simple. Can the best performance on League of Legends be achieved through mouse and keyboard, or would a peripheral like Nostromo be the key to excel on the micro and macro control of the gaming course?
