This is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, yes, you should be playing to strengths, and trying to just mimic pro teams is folly. On the other hand, my best friend had a placement match where the first three picks were Uther, Illidan, and Tassadar, which set him up PERFECTLY to pick Abathur (a character he loves Read more

Waldo would ABSOLUTELY be a melee assassin with a stealth trait. Read more

Counterpoint: Cohen’s been at WaPo WAY longer than Bezos has owned it. Read more

To answer your questions: yes, no, and I’m not actually sure? I’ve wondered about this one. I do, but I’ve frequently felt weird about it, since servers are getting me a drink and that’s it.

This...this isn’t hard, America. This doesn’t have to be a 20% or NOTHING, EVER, AT ALL scenario. You’re still allowed to reward good service if Read more

You made an obscure Discworld reference. In no reality along the trousers of time could you be a dummy. Read more

You really didn’t read my fourth paragraph, did you? Because this comment is very wrong and bad. Read more

She’s absolutely fantastic. I think she’s the single best currently-active American humorist. Read more

Yeah but the zero point was weird because of the angle! The Tie Bomber had the same issue, too, which was reason #467 why it sucked (and still wasn’t as bad as the fucking Assault Gunboat). Read more

I’m reasonably sure the TIE Defender is, since Tie Fighter occurs between Empire and Jedi. Phantom should be, since Rebel Assault II was, if I’m not mistaken, at some point during the original trilogy. So there’s those two, at least. Read more
