Poor Kaptain brought to his knees by the burger diet, RIP.

No more Pyro either please, it's clearly exploiting the engine when you flail your mouse around to do more damage.

I heard Uber(one of the casters) mention TF2 by name during a match when he was talking about Pine a few days ago, so I don't know if Blizzard has decided to loosen up or if Uber just forgot about it momentarily, but it does happen from time to time.

I found it almost impossible to watch on Twitch yesterday because every team fight looked like a Jackson Pollock painting, but today I'm watching it on MLG TV instead. The bitrate on MLG TV is 7 Mb/s for 720p@60fps(instead of 5 Mb/s on Twitch) and 12 Mb/s for 1080p@60fps(that is double Twitch's 6 Mb/s). Blizzard's signature oversaturated busy art style still isn't helping with visual clarity, but it is literally three times easier to follow for me on this higher bit rate. Your mileage may vary.

If Intel wanted to do something about Meltdown(or Spectre for that matter) on an architectural level, would they have to delay a product family like Ice Lake, or would there still be enough time to change it before tape-out if we assumed it would launch in say Q1 2019?

Chrono Cross and Gran Turismo 2 deserve a mention, but Soulbringer has to be my favourite.

Dream Theater - Lines in the Sand
Marillion - Easter
Iron Maiden - Stranger in a Strange Land(bass & guitar)
Vicente Amigo - Tierra(flamenco guitar)
Marcus Miller - Run For Cover(bass)

So Morwanneg, answer this one for me: if Vulcan thought they looked similar because of several factors, but the only thing you noticed was their skin colour, what does that say about you?

This is literally better than the Pyro update.

THIS JUST IN - VIDEO CARDS ARE NOT ONLY USED TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES

This is like saying a bulldozer is overpriced because it can't do 200 km/h. This product is not for you, but that isn't a valid argument for it being overpriced.

Technically also incorrect by convention, but the Associated Press decided to standardise this spelling a few years ago because they're incompetent. More correct would be "e-sports", because at least it follows the precedent set by words such as "e-mail" and "e-commerce", which were hyphenated to clarify the pronunciation. But if you want to be really anal, it should be either "electronic sports" or "ES," not a mix of long and short form. So basically no matter how you spell it, there are so many conflicting rules that someone can always claim that you're wrong on some basis.

The English language: pull something out of your arse and force everyone else to memorise your shite.

Someone asked me this question just now and I remembered reading this thread and then realised I forgot to reply to it...

Your keyboard is set to a scheme which includes what's known as "dead keys". If you press the tilde, accent grave, apostrophe, quotation marks or accent circonflexe key, it will not immediately type `, ~, ', " or ^. It will instead hold the character until you press a key again, and then(if possible) combine it with that key. For example, an apostrophe followed by a vowel will result in a vowel with an accent aigu on it, or in the case of the letter C, a C with a cedille(áéíóýúç).

Because of this, if you don't press a vowel after pressing the tilde key, Windows actually tries to "type the accent grave" again(for example, accent grave followed by Q results in `q), which closes your console because it is being registered as you typing another accent grave(but it's actually Windows doing it). My guess as to why it's working in the main menu is because you're pressing a button instead of pressing ` when you open it from the menu.

Possible solutions are: using a keyboard scheme which doesn't have dead keys(yours is probably set to US-International, which does have dead keys in it), changing your console toggle bind to a button which is not one of the five aforementioned characters, or simply typing a vowel and deleting it every time you open the console. Hope that helps.
