These guys are seriously awesome. Looking foward to the ratchet and clank speedrun! The TAS demonstration should also be pretty good.

Dota 2 23rd May Patch – Content Analysis by Cyborgmattin DotA2

I like the older mortred too. Look at how sweet that concept art was: www.dota2wiki.com/images/archive/4/45/20120428020205!Mortred.png

Her updated just looks...weird to me. But I can deal with it since she'll still be fun to play...

No reason for it not to be. After all aren't the season 2 finals in august?

Plus that's probably when they unveil "supremacy"--I saw a lot of people thinking it was a new game mode, but I'm betting it's actually some kind of tournament format.

I just don't like the new chatbox position. It seems like it's in a really weird place.

My roommate is a scientologist. He left this packet full of "donation" rates. check out the price of clear... by ScienKnologyin WTF

[–]Chetyre 3 points4 points ago

What caused you to join in the first place, if you don't mind me asking? Maybe it was a long time ago, but at least within the past decade or so I can't imagine why anyone would join up. With stuff like wikileaks and the internet in general to spread information it seems odd that anyone would want to become a scientologist without first googling and seeing how much of a sham it is/the terrible things they've done.

Didn't this exact same thing happen with stephano, or am I mistaken?

I have recently acquired a Tenor Saxophone. I want to learn to play it, but clearly have no clue what I'm doing (see post for further details) by ScrubTutorin Learnmusic

[–]Chetyre 2 points3 points ago

Assuming that you already know the basics like hand position, embouchure, reading music...To start with just work on long tones and making sure you're producing sound smoothly and fully (no squeaks). Then find some scale sheets and start grinding those every day. Don't worry about going fast, just concentrate on getting the notes out evenly and making sure they sound full. You will have problems at the bottom and top of your range but don't worry, it will get better over time.

Specific to saxophone, the reeds you have may not be the best. For beginners I would usually recommend something like a rico royal 2 or 2 1/2. Not that there's anything wrong with harder reeds, you may just be frustrated if you're trying a blue box 3 1/2 and wondering why you can't get a sound. Another plus...rico's are dirt cheap, and since you're just starting out you don't really need quality reeds anyway. As you get better and see if you want to stick with it, you'll naturally progress up to better quality reeds along with the rest of your gear (a quality mouthpiece+ligature can sometimes make a bigger difference than an entirely different sax model). I recommend checking out this article if you're bored and for some reason feel like reading about reed care.

Lastly, if you look at fingering charts you'll notice a lot of alternate fingerings for notes (especially Bb and F#). This isn't just a "pick which one you like!" deal. You should really learn all the fingerings because you use them in different situations. For example with Bb, it's really easy to use the bis key (little key below b). However in a chromatic passage where you're going from Bb/A# to B, you'll want to use the "side" Bb key as it's a much smoother sound. I recommend this page to learn more specifics.

Just take the survey and wait. And yes invites are still going out, I just got mine yesterday.

Here's Every 'Leaked' PlayStation All-Stars Character by mehgandavidin Games

[–]Chetyre 6 points7 points ago

Excluding Crash would be so sad, just because he's one of those classic playstation characters. I didn't understand the addition of Bond at all.

Thanks, that certainly helps some. Never expected to get a response on a month old post!

Trailer for Harley Quinn's Revenge. by onlinesquidin Games

[–]Chetyre 15 points16 points ago

It'll be $10, and I read a few rumors that it's around 2 hours of content. But what pisses me off is this:

UPDATE: Warner Bros. has confirmed that Harley Quinn's Revenge will cost 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99 on the PlayStation Network. Also, Robin won't be able to roam the entirety of Arkham City -- just this mission and his previously released challenge maps

come on! That's the whole reason I wanted to get the original robin and nightwing dlc, not for crappy challenge rooms but to free roam! Reading that changed my "must buy" to "wait for some reviews/when it drops in price". I'm so disappointed.

What's the funniest censored-for-tv line from a movie you've heard? by sumshin AskReddit

[–]Chetyre 11 points12 points ago

The funny thing is that line wasn't even originally in the movie. Word got out that they were shooting for a pg-13 rating, internet shitstorm, then they actually decided to go back and reshoot/add a few more scenes (one of which was that line).

Dear Esther hits 100,000 sales by SharpEleventhin Games

[–]Chetyre 3 points4 points ago

I don't think it's necessarily a design flaw, the game is intentionally designed to be that way. Maybe they could increase the walk speed a smidge but the whole point is you're supposed to slow down and take in the environment/narrator. The feel of the game would be completely different if you were allowed to zoom everywhere bunnyhopping.

edit: he even says the same thing himself here.

Pinging runes to tell everyone the kind of rune is AWESOME.

best part of the update (besides tree of course).

Adult Swim just announced that Toonami is returning May 26, 2012. What shows do you think they should air? by billybobskcorin AskReddit

[–]Chetyre 2 points3 points ago

Actually, I hadn't thought about that. I can't imagine them showing subs (I don't think they've EVER done subs on adult swim or toonami) so they'd have to use the dub. I'm not really an anime snob but...I really didn't like the dub for GL. That'd be a downer :/

It's been a long, long time since I've seen it but I remember liking tenchi universe more than the original tenchi.

Most likely it was a therapy dog. They're getting to be pretty common in schools, though usually you see them at elementary and not high.

Item Discussion of the Day: Diffusal Blade (May 14, 2012) by Homer00in DotA2

[–]Chetyre 1 point2 points ago*

Nope, that was WITHOUT scepter, only had boots and the blade in my inventory. So now that you mention it, that's probably a bug...unless there's some arcane mechanics rule that I'm not clear on.

I'll play around some more and see what happens.

edit: just checked and something is definitely messed up. mjollnir was proccing for full damage as well (with scepter or not). unless perhaps I just don't understand how the combat log works? now I'm really confusing myself :(

Snickers... now available in Type-2 Diabettus size by Hokie200proofin funny

[–]Chetyre 9 points10 points ago

Here's the nutrition facts.

I think the average adult male is supposed to have something like no more than 40g of added sugar a day (around 30 for women). If you were to eat that whole bar, you'd be eating 225g. Kind of makes me want to vomit just thinking about it.

Good question! I just tested it out to check. Apparently diffusal still does full damage. Here's some screenshots I took of the combat log to show: http://imgur.com/a/tYbNl First screen is normal attacks, second is while using level 1 ult.
