Tell said he'd wait a week, heh. Still six days to go

... as for the indie stuff linked, the spiderweb games stuff (Avernum, geneforge) is pretty decent, if you don't already have 'em and you like fairly old-school CRPGs. You'd probably be able to get a better deal if you hold out until they show up in another bundle, though.

Probably the same reason Riot can't think of a proper genre name.

They're AoS maps until someone gets off their ass and does something a WC3 map didn't already do, s'far as I'm concerned. They get a proper genre name when they stop being something done in the late 90s/earlier 00s.

Props to awesomenauts for coming close, but no, no cigar.

No links, but I can definitely confirm icey took over the reigns of an incredibly derivative AoS map (It was, what, DotA, then DotA: All Stars? Something like that?). I was kinda' still playing WC3 custom maps like crazy when it first happened. DotA's always been kinda' the king moobah of AoS ripoff maps, right from the start.

Telecommuting is the way of the future, N.

... mostly because it means the business doesn't have to pay as much for infrastructure. You at home means one more desk they didn't have to install, one less computer they had to buy, that much less electricity, etc., so forth, so on. Smart businesscritter wants as many folks to telecommute as possible, huhuhu...

Using skill saw. The part of the wood cut by it. It is so smooth. Like. This cut is so clean I almost find myself mildly aroused. If knives cut like that, I would buy those knives. And cut things with them, then caress those things. It is one of the most sublime physical sensations I have felt in a long, long time.

so smooth

Also I'm keeping the little leaving bits that aren't gonna' be used, now.

[...] met another lady-spider that left me feeling more motivated to become an egg-bearing, humanity-stealing servant of chaos than I've ever felt.

Portability implicitly implies leaving the desk behind, Kaij Being stuck at a desk is the exact opposite of portability.

As for heat, they have stand-things* you can stick them on -- which you probably want even if they are on a desk, because most lappies have shit heat dissipation design and both flesh and wood is precious and should stay unscorched. Also you don't need to put them on your lap. You can put them beside on. Or put a book in the way (I've been using encyclopedias of philosophy for both laptop support and mousepad for several years now >_>). Or any number of other things. Get a nice mount and stick it on the (cab, in Siru's case) ceiling, plug in some USB peripherals, whatever. Desks are the near the most useless thing in existence.

*I've been using the non-fan part of a cooler master heat dealio since the fan on it broke. It fits pretty much everywhere a laptop can -- arm of a chair, lap, leaned up against a wall, on top of the stove, on top of the washing machine/dryer, on the hood of the car, and so on, and so on.
