No throws here though.

I don't think valve has that power unless they make them pay to play in their tournaments again. Unless I'm missing some big contract like LoL has for all its players, there is no real regulation. I do agree that this is actually still a half-assed response because it literally came from nowhere and they haven't announced any steps to help regulate this shit beyond setting this precedent like you said. It's too bad valve wants to be laissez faire as possible aside from when they can make money selling stuff.

Biggest problem I see is that it alienates basically every parent from helping their children with math since they also have to learn the new method of math. The questions seem to be literally made for only elementary school kids to understand because they probably don't understand English as well. I mean I guess you don't have to worry about parents teaching their children wrong as much, but it's really too bad you can't teach them multiple ways to do the problem and let them self optimize.

And M2K throws grand finals.

Aren't a lot of you taking the guide a bit too seriously? It's a good laugh but I really doubt someone who self-describes themselves as "Fueled By Your Hatred™Capitalist, Blackmarket Merchant, Lumber Stock Investor, Philosopher, Gamer, Troll, Monsanto Employee, Religious & part of the one percent" isn't doing satire or trolling.

Anyone else watching smash?

Holy fucking shit the series Armada v Leffen, the complete reversals.

Hope this doesn't rip your friends list. Last person I knew who did any giveaway got spammed to hell for a few weeks.

No offense but every addict spouts the same shit and are in denial about their problem. Honestly it sounds like you think your parents owe you a home and food and everything without you actually achieving anything. If you're 18, your parents could just kick you out of the house. The fact they're keeping you there is because they want you to do something with your life but you're not going anywhere, just making excuses for why you aren't.

Notice how most people in this thread aren't buying your shit. You may not realize almost all your excuses are shit. Your dream isn't coming true if you aren't willing to make sacrifices for what you want. Like everyone said, stop dropping money on alcohol even if it's just every 1-2 weeks. Give up TF2, some internet time, etc and do the work. Make a plan to actually get somewhere, even if it's not the closest thing to your dream. You have to change to actually change your situation. What you're doing now isn't getting you anywhere closer to where you want to be. I know because half the things I want to do I never end up doing due to my bad habits.

tl;dr Don't expect to get anywhere without drastically changing your habits or luck. I suggest not gambling on something to suddenly make a break for you. Try reading a book like The 7 Habits or something (I'm sure you can find a way to get it) and think about if what you're doing is actually getting you where you want to be.

How many times are they going to fucking retire?

What do you have against CS:GO aside from 1.6 being better? It's the biggest staple competitive FPS and 1.6 had fun mods. If it wasn't big there's literally no other competitive FPS that anyone watches aside from CoD or Halo on consoles. It even has the developer/valve support for competitive that TF2 could only dream of and part of why is draws in so much more people.

I've come to realized I'm pretty biased against Blizzard after SC2's shitty UMS system and D3. I expect nothing, but I won't be surprised if I'm disappointed again.

I expect people to latch on for at least 3 months, but don't be surprised if we end up with another Brink.

If you made 6 figures by playing video games, you'd bet you'd suck the dicks of the people donating thousands of dollars to you. Even the hardcore no life Kripp sold out, though not to donations yet. Money is money. Add in youtube and edit some of your stream highlights and you probably get even more.

Didn't play Nekopara long enough. Shit was hilarious.

What about all the grills you could relate with if you both play LoL though, these guys are playing the numbers game.
