Post by: Puddsy on Mon, 01 September 2014, 20:21:33: I basically had to write an entire paper on why my parents should let me go

It worked, so I'm not complaining in the slightest.

I did that once for when I really wanted something. I didn't think the paper was that good, and just picked the item I wanted kind-of at random, but they really liked the paper, read it to all the relatives, etc. It worked much better than I imagined.

In short: Don't underestimate the power of writing a persuasive piece to your parents.

Tow tell me what this is for again? I sorta lost track what with all the acronyms

Post by: katushkin on Mon, 01 September 2014, 22:11:02: I went to I52 and they had a Dota tournament there but there were literally no good teams playing. All the "pro" UK teams are sat at like 4-5k MMR... At least I got to shake Pyrion Flax's hand.

But you are going to be able to see *THE* TobiWan in the flesh. That man is one serious caster. The video of him commentating on a 3 minute team fight without breathing is, well, breath taking (hue)

Post by: katushkin on Mon, 01 September 2014, 22:11:42: I literally have no idea what Kappa means. It pops up everywhere on twitch chat and /r/Dota2 and I have no idea what it means, who it is or where it's come from.

Post by: exitfire401 on Mon, 01 September 2014, 22:11:55: I'd go, but right now, it's either Hoff's meetup, or ESL...Hoff's meetup is winning.

What is the significance of that? Is it like an irony mark (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony_punctuation#Irony_mark)?

I was gonna go to battlegrounds Detroit...had a friend working the event and he could've gotten me front row w/ media access...couldn't go because I had to train new employees and had a meeting prior to the start of the semester...the amount of sadness was unbelievable.
