Cookin! with Chef Seth

I stumbled upon this today ^^

Apparently there's a large number of people at my high school who do skits for the local channels

the guy in that video happens to be one of my close friends, actually

Arcade is going at it again.

Q: Does my chicken like being touched?

I recently unlocked the chicken coop and then I bought a chicken. I noticed that I can pet the chicken once per day and a little heart displays above its head. I've done this every day for almost an entire season and I'm not seeing any benefits from it. Does petting it serve any sort of food pro...

I just wrote an answer on Reddit about shotcalling and it made me realise just how much I know about League. I need a life.

I also honestly think I could go pro in season 7 if I put in the work.

We get it, this can be an innuendo. Please stop with the comments to that effect. — Ashley Nunn ♦ 8 hours ago

Mast

@DanPantry Do you want to?

@DanPantry And here I thought that was a sport on Arcade.

Dan Pantry

I don't think I want to go pro, at least not as a pro player.

I could definitely be a coach.

If I were to do anything though it would be streaming - I do that anyway, and it's fun

Mast

I'd imagine there are perks to having played pro before you become a coach though.

Dan Pantry

Yeah, you have the experience.

but that's mainly for people who havent' got experience of being in a team before.

I should mention I won a 1v1 tournament last night

and I won a 5v5 tournament last week ^^

Mast

12:24

Sounds good.

Dan Pantry

/fume

Mast

That 5v5 you won, was that in a team you compete regularly in?

Dan Pantry

No, it was a randomly assorted team

We didn't drop a single game

hold on i'll get a link to the tourny

(I am Herring)

Mast

@DanPantry O RLY?

Dan Pantry

yarly

Mast

12:28

First step to play pro or as coach is to have a team I'd say.

Dan Pantry

first step is to get to masters :p

Mast

Or a team with the capacity to get to masters, but yea.

Are you a member of that clan or did you just walk-in and steamroll?

Dan Pantry

I'm a member of the clan (my username is now CA Herring)

Have been since the start of the year

Same clan hosted the 1v1 tourny which I won (although I did drop a couple of games there)

1v1 tourny was hilarious, the finalist was another diamond player and he was pissed

because he was playing champions that would stomp you/outplay you

and I just played support champions that couldn't die and would outpush him

He was going for the flashiness, I was going for the win :P

Mast

lol

That's a mistake many people make.

I'll pick this champ, this champ is strong.

This champ will totally own the game if I get up to speed faster than my opponent.

Totally irrelevant the moment things don't go according to plan.

Dan Pantry

I don't think it was that

I think he just thought "I can beat everyone by styling on them and killing them"

Instead of taking the safest strategy to win

i'm not about to take risks in a blind pick game against someone I don't know

The amazing thing is that he did this three times

He picked Fiddlesticks first, which I dropped a game to

Then he picked Annie against my Lulu and then picked LeBlanc against Morgana

It's like he wasn't expecting me to keep picking supports even though that's literally all I picked

Mast

12:37

Supports have utility. Utility is what you need in 1v1.

LeBlanc is an odd choice for 1v1.

Dan Pantry

LB is a GREAT choice for a 1v1 if I picked a mage

or Yasuo

who is my most played

like, if I picked any of my mains - LeBlanc would have beat them

Until she ran out of mana, anyway.

Mast

LeBlanc has a ton of damage and is good at getting away, but once you're at a disadvantage or you can't manage to kill your enemy in the first couple of shots you take at him, you're out of luck.

Dan Pantry

Yeah, I think he was expecting to be able to kill me in a few shots.

he did get close, and I knew that when I was playing in the game.

But after level 4 there's not much you can do against a Morgana as LeBlanc

Unless Morgana misplays

so I just sat and waited for him to get frustrated and misplay.. which he did.

He used both his W and R to harass me, so I just flashed on him and Q + R +W = dead lb

His flash + ignite were already on CD from trying (and failing) to kill me

Mast

Yea, that's the moment to go for the kill.

Not easy though, waiting.

Dan Pantry

Patience is incredibly important in League

And very underrated

Mast

12:51

Yup.

@AlienHerbNite I just got The Division for it, only played it about 15 minutes so far.

Alien Herb Nite

How is that game anyways? I was considering purchasing it, but some friends of mine said it's not too great.

EBrown

From what I've read on the PC version reviews, it gets pretty repetitive pretty quickly.

Mast

That's what I heard as well.

Seems the AI is too easy.

Alien Herb Nite

Hmm. I guess I'll take a look into it before wasting some money on it.

EBrown

Read the Steam version reviews. That's a good place to start.

Mast

17:08

Steam reviews don't tell you everything though, I usually watch a gameplay review if I don't care too much about spoilers.

Alien Herb Nite

I find that steam reviews are not often helpful.

Mast

Some of the reviews are 'Great game, would buy again'.

Alien Herb Nite

Some are, but it seems these days most are just "lol 10/10 good game" or "hurr durr this game is cancer".

EBrown

@AlienHerbNite I only pay attention to the ones that have substance.

Alien Herb Nite

@EBrown Same here, but it's often hard to find decent ones that do have substance.

Pin Crash

17:16

@AlienHerbNite I like it a lot, but almost always play with friends. By yourself it does get a bit repetitive. Also it's more RPG than shooter, i.e. don't expect to need your godlike Call of Duty skillz for much

Alien Herb Nite

Ah, so it is more of an RPG.

I might give it a try if I get some random cash from somewhere.

EBrown

@PinCrash @AlienHerbNite Yeah, it's a boring game to play alone.

Someone want to work ? A job ? :D

Hosch250

Why? What kind of job? What's the pay, and what are the requirements?

Ramy

Job = a project. Payment - paypal/transfer. Pay for a entire project. I mean not per hour.

Look intro files, final price.

Hosch250

What kind of project?

Ramy

Hm, convert entire source to c++ 11 features.

Hosch250

What kind of source control do you use?

Ramy

18:58

Source control? SVN.

Hosch250

Eh, I'm not interested. I don't know C++.

Just practicing my interview questions.

Go find the Nth.
