    For everyone whining about spending cuts, how do you suggest you balance the books? Spending cuts elsewhere, where someone else will complain? More debt, that will have to be repaid in future years? Tax the rich who are already paying a higher % of their higher income to receive less benefit...

    You have to let your team mates get kills and try to get your team objectives... Push towers, try to get your team to take dragon and try to win before you get maxed out items.

    Renegade-X (Command & Conquer: Renegade fan remake)

    "Renegade-X is a reworking of the original, awful Command & Conquer: Renegade, Westwood’s ambitious FPS with RTS acne" Awful?! I loved that game :(

    Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

    Just started playing this game yesterday... Every time I was revived, I pressed RMB as the tooltip said to, and just died. I thought that maybe there was a 1/4 second window for it to work, and that I was just not quite pressing it in time. After this happened about 20-30 times, I looked it up...

    In draft pick, pick order is higher priority than call order. In blind pick, I think anything goes and if you miss what they've called then they will see it on their screen as "slinkie has joined the game" or whatever after their message, but there is no way for you to know

    How can anyone reasonable say that a high skill-cap game that is match-made against human opponents is not hard? The skill cap on LoL is clearly very high, otherwise there would be no professional scene

    I find frozen mallet to be ridiculously good on ADCs... 70% as much health as a warmogs, a bit of AD and most importantly that slow to make it really easy to kite well and stop the bruisers from getting to you. (Of course, it depends who you are against as some champions (e.g. Olaf) don't care...

    Yeah.... When it gets to the point where your whole team completely catches them out and still gets aced with 0 or 1 kill, it's pretty safe to surrender... there's games which seem lost but then there's games which are certainly lost where continuing is a genuine frustrating waste of time

    The system is pretty much the SC2 system... In SC2, you play people dependent on your MMR (match making rating, which is hidden - just like ELO). Your MMR goes up/down dependent on your wins and the opponent's MMR... The only big difference is that in SC2, when your MMR is high enough, you get...

    Cargo plane crashes in Afghanistan killing all 7 crew

    Well it makes sense... as the plane is taking off, if cargo came loose, it would shift towards the back, moving the centre of gravity far behind the centre of lift, pulling the nose of the plane up and the plane into a stall... You can see in the video that the plane is climbing far steeper than...

    Did you read both of my posts? If you're far higher level, then yes... I didn't dispute that. However, if you're maybe a league up on the people you're playing against, then you can't always carry your team. A diamond level player carrying in bronze/silver/gold doesn't mean that a gold player...

    This is true... I've been in bronze 1 for a while and am always playing people in Silver. Not true... You aren't the only player who is above your skill level. You might be far better than your 4 team mates, but their team might have 1 player who's as good as you, and their 4 team mates...

    *** League of Legends ***

    Well, if you're diamond level and playing in bronze/silver then yeah, sure you can carry. However, if you're silver level and playing in bronze, unless if you're mid or top, it's very difficult to carry, and sometimes, your team is just that dumb that even though you're 5/0 k/d in mid, that top...

    Argh... After hiding for many months in the unranked normal queue, I decided lately to try ranked out. I often play with my friends in a team which is high silver level, and I'm probably 3rd best on the team, so I expected to be maybe low silver in ranked solo... Started playing ranked games and...

    Seriously mate... Learn to take advice. If the opponent has an extremely weak mid game so that they can have a strong late game, the answer is to kill him mid game. There's nothing 'cheesy' about attacking - I guess you're one of those guys who just won't attack until maxed out, but that's a...

    I just played an ARAM where my whole team copied my build (Not known until I pressed tab and saw everyone had same items as me) and the same happened on the opposite team. Turns out 8 players were on teamspeak/other voice program and go 4 on each team then just copy the 2 randomers' builds...

    Well I've reached rank 1 diamond league and still manage to win games I really shouldn't. Just now, I tried to cannon a zerg expanding to his 3rd base before natural and it failed... Then still managed to do a really wonky late immortal sentry all in which he had even scouted... In WoL, I was...

    Wow... Just playing on the ladder, you notice how much people's leagues have been inflated by the influx of less experienced players (or 'noobs')... Playing people in Platinum and they're really bad... Maybe low gold kind of level from Wings of Liberty
