Ha, yeah, I probably wiffed at least half the times I used it. It's easier to use in the abyss, though. Less maneuvering space and the other team regularly clumps up in fairly static areas, like around the turrets. Plus dives on your team are usually fairly telegraphed -- much of the  time you can tell when they're coming in and charge it up enough to kick a few members of the other team out of the fight. And then slam another one into a wall, of course. Is indeed probably the hardest part of her kit to use, though.

Still, in the abyss it generally only takes one good one to ace (or at least mostly kill) the enemy team, so even if you don't land most of them, well...

I think magicmaker's going for a decent discount, iirc. Pretty fun game, wonderful music. I still haven't got it myself, but I did get the soundtrack :V

Finally played the reworked poppy. In the abyss.

1) I definitely kinda' suck, as is entirely unsurprising.

2) Poppy on the abyss is just goddamn cruel. I died a lot, yes, but pretty much every time I died 1-2 (or more) of the enemy team went with me. It's honestly kinda' difficult to not be within smashing distance of a wall on that map.*

3) That ult is the trolliest damned thing I think I've ever seen. I mean, I sorta' got that from being on the receiving end a few times, but actually getting to use it is just... yeah. "Oh, you're defending that tower? Let me fix that, ahahahaha!"

Also, was it just me not noticing what the hell was going on (very likely), or did kalista's dash-things ignore my W? Thing was bouncing all around and through my little no-dash bubble. Was unfortunate. I mean, I was still basically freaking evil towards that kalista (and their nunu, and their soraka, and...) with the E, but it would have been a lot worse if the W was really working. Which... it may have been, and I just didn't notice, but still. Didn't look like it.

*Also there was an anivia on my team. Dat ice wall/poppy tackle synergy ;_;

There was also a veigar. Poppy plus veigar's box thing is just hilarious. "I will stand in the middle and not get stun-" *poppy tackle, stunned, dead*

So yeah, I guess that was like near-best case poppy playing scenario. Abyss, wallbird, stunbox midget. Basically always had something to smash someone into. Poor other team.

Y'know, I just realized I don't passively recognize New Hampshire as the name of a state. For something so important to the primary process, it sure feels like it's... not. Like, not a thing at all. Maybe a city or small town? But a whole state... not so much.

I think it's because of the New prefix. New York gets away with it because the city is larger in size/population than some countries (It's ~2 New Zealands, ferex. Also ~6-7 new hampshires >_>), but NH... what's even in NH?

Max Q first. RQ after l6 and profit.
Maxed W first, heh, Q second... never actually did RQ, all my Rs went into more missile spam (probably netted about a quarter to a third of my straight kills). The turrets almost never actually lasted very long -- the other team was pretty terrible about killing me but they were on top of wrecking my turrets. Priming the W was significantly more reliable, heh.

Huh, when you bring that up I realize that I'm not sure where I got the idea that he's said to be omnibenevolent at all.
It's an incredibly common premise to christian theology and rhetoric (if not quite so much scripture). Not entirely universal, but close enough to it that denominations that claim the christian god is not all good (i.e. omnibenevolent) are quite rare. Especially if they're actually consistent about it in sermon and proselytizing. Silly vast amounts of theological work has gone into treating the question of God's omnibenevolence and trying to reconcile that with... well, more or less everything. You almost certainly just kinda' absorbed the idea from general cultural osmosis, heh.

Well, yes, but then we need to find a replacement for Tuyuda. And while I'd gladly replace Tuyuda, then EuchreJack would have to replace Karang. And then AlStar would have to replace Gaoor. And IWIWS would have to replace Banebo. Etc... no, better not to start down that path...  :P
That does kinda' make me wonder what a round-robin match would be like. Everyone shifts to a different nation every turn (or every few turns, whatever), losing condition is your last submitted turn leading to that nation's defeat. I guess you'd do something like make throwaway email accounts for each nation and give everyone the passwords?

Finally rolled heimerdinger in ARAM. It was disgusting. Kills and assists weren't terribly high (7/18 when my team had 46 kills total), but I died all of two times -- the first a deliberate suicide at the 14 minute mark so I could go freaking shop -- and the other team didn't even take down our first turret. It wasn't even the ruddy turrets that did it, though they certainly helped and watching the enemy team waste time and mana on killing them was hilarious, it was that sickening missile spam constantly pelting people. Did help the other team mostly refused to actual dive me (probably partially due to the fact that all but one of the times they did that, either me or a tower killed them :V), but still. Only two deaths in an ARAM match is sickening, in the best of ways :3

11889
I would be happy to volunteer :3

... yes, m'joking. Mostly.

The bullet hell sequences are also more aesthetic than mechanical, if you're worried about too much difficulty and whatnot -- the game is incredibly forgiving compared to your average bullet hell game. It shares the many bullets and patterns and such, but it's not really the same design principle in pretty much any other sense.

E: Frequency wise, though, yeah, combat is fairly common and fairly central to the game. It's generally the major method you're going to be using to influence things (either directly, or by using it to get resources you need to do so indirectly), so you'll be seeing plenty of it. Just... don't really think of them as bullet hell sequences. They're really just... not.

E2: Though yeah, I'd recommend it pretty easily. It's fairly fun. Not terribly replayable beyond two or three goes through each mode, imo, and any particular game is probably going to be not terribly lengthy, but definitely good for at least that much.

Maybe we can get the old guy from the price is right to give them an invitation? "Alien benefactors from beyond the oort cloud, you're the next contestant on The Uplifting is Now!"

I will vote for the first person to mention defending Earth against the Alien menace.
We... must defend Earth against the Alien menace. By, I'unno, immediately diverting half of terrestrial military spending into orbital and inter-system research and development. Including other countries' spending, which is what will be done with the remaining half of our military budget.

So there you go. Vote Frumple, the only non-candidate to get less votes than Gilmore.

At least I sincerely hope write-ins for frumple got less votes than gilmore. Or anyone else, really.

To be fair, there probably are some gay guys that do that, or equivalent actions. Especially older ones, where beards were (even) more of a survival tactic. And certainly, if I were a homosexual running for president and actually wanted to have a singular chance in hell, I probably would have farmed up a family years before, preferably one of significant note (i.e. a cheerleader and statistically-large-for-my-demographic kids). The family and kids just isn't really a good argument against the premise.

Really, it could only have been better if the o was an i.

Welp. Just won an ARAM playing teemo by hiding in the bushes while the entire enemy team walked past, then ninjaing my way to their core and finishing it off. One of their guys even walked right on top of me with a sunfire going, ahehe. They engaged on my team back at our core, I engaged on their core, gg no re, stealth teemo op.

It was beautiful ;_;

Kudos to the teammate that suggested it, ahaha. Kinda' a scumbag thing to do, but hey, whatever works :V
