LetsFlyThis is why I'm glad I went to uni. I get to delay being an adult for several more years. :3

Maybe you should take up an offline hobby.
Like, painting, for instance.
I have other hobbies. You don't know my life. D:<
I suck at art though. Like, bad.

You must be fun at parties.
I can't help what I randomly find on the internet :(
Jebus Crust people still do this
That's the most depressing thing I've seen in a while
And I saw a gif of a kitten dying the other day

Anyway, I will watch at least the very final League Worlds games, but usually I'd rather be playing a match myself than watching others, even the best of the best. That said I might give it a try this season. Could be fun.
It is actually pretty fun. It's exciting watching some of the ridiculous clutch plays that happen, and you can pick up a lot from the pros in terms of how you play. Just go watch game 4 of the EU LCS Summer Split Finals 2015 between Fnatic and Origen (what I was watching when I posted this). That one game is less than an hour out of your life and it's one of the coolest things I've ever watched - and if you enjoy watching it, then maybe consider watching some others as we approach Worlds. ^_^
How the hell does DotA have such large prize pools when so few people play it by comparison? IT MAKES NO SENSE.
As for the difference from DotA to LoL, the impression I always got was that a game of League tends to move at a faster pace (can't deny creeps = more gold = full build faster), that League is more streamlined (less active items, a more definite meta, better balancing, essentially what Hank said - it makes more sense), and that because of that League is without doubt an easier game to play and master. To be honest I think that's what made it popular - it took what the original DotA did and made it more accessible, whereas DotA 2 didn't.
My roommate plays DotA 2 and, naturally, detested League, but when I watched him play it just looked like so much freaking effort. I reckon it's possible to play a casual game of League. I don't think you can play a casual game of DotA, judging by my roommate and the way he spoke about it.

Does anyone here follow any E-sports?
I've just started following the LoL scene to watch the EU regional qualifiers for the World Championships in October. Very exciting stuff - Fnatic just had their 21-game winning streak ruined in the finals, which is streaming on Twitch/Youtube right now. Here's hoping for a full 5-game match.
(inb4 someone bitches about the term "e-sports" because "they're not really sports".)

I just ate escargot
you posh fuck
I'm going to take exception and be intensely offended by all the people ripping on maths.
It's fucking great. Boo you all.

I'm hoping there's an actual reason for harassing this random religious dude - y'know, like he molested a kid or killed someone or some shit - because otherwise I just can't find stuff like this funny. It's just fucking up someone's life and livelihood for no reason when they're trying to do a good thing, or just going about their business.
