I have an issue where for the last couple of days or so when streaming a video it constantly jumps wildly in quality skipping back 5 seconds and replaying at a different quality over and over again. Tested it with a wireless and wired connection, don't have this problem with any other streaming service.

Latest version of firefox, non beta

Well I like diablo and that type of game, but dota seems like diablo minus all the good parts.

Diablo seems like Dota without all the good parts. Boom.

Just kidding they are nothing alike. Ok fine they have some in common but I would say it has much less in common with Diablo than it has with most RTS's.

Also I think Dota 2 might be the best game to come out in the last 10 years.

People can argue the merits of dota or league all day but at least 50% of the reason people find those games appealing is the same reason other people find mmos or slot machines appealing. It's kind of sad when you think about it.

People can argue the merits of Videogames all day but at least Random-made-up-percentage of the reason people find videogames appealing is the same reason other people like walking into a place with a firearm. It's kind of sad when you think about it.

There we go, my argument made just as much sense as your and I believe I provided the same amount of evidence.

This has happened before on kitchen nightmares, or at least close to it. Can't remember if he ever permanently walked off on one before. I just don't understand how people end up on the show Kitchen Nightmares and still think they have it under control, and think that Gordon Ramsay doesn't know what he's talking about.

Well to some extent he DOESN'T know what he's talking about. I don't watch the show, but I've watched it enough to know that he frequently says things that are meritless just to be a jerk. For instance, he'll be so busy talking/ranting that he will mishear something and then respond to what he misheard rather than what the person really said or what their actual intention was. Apparently he is a good chef and knows how a business should be run, but I don't think he really is any good at troubleshooting peoples problems or working with them to teach them anything.

Wait a guy that runs multiple Michelin Star restaurants, doesn't know what he's talking about when talking about running restaurants? Of course he gives these people shit because the number one problem always seems to be a attitude problem with the chefs\managers and they just need to get off their high horse's and listen for once.

I have seen the show enough to disagree with that.

Ramsey is the Johnny Rotten of food television. Or he is the real life version of the characters Aaron Sorkin writes about. He lives the power fantasy that I would argue weak people have, of being so successful at something that people have to put up with his bullying. To pretend that it's just "truth-saying" is ridiculous. He's serving up the truth on the end of a baseball bat.

Bit late reading this but still felt I'd add to the outpouring of good will and fond wishes for you that everyone in the community that you helped foster are expressing @snide

This site has become the one place on the internet I constantly return to and it's because of it's strong backbone of amazing personalities and wealth of community interaction and you have been an incredibly important part in my enjoyment of the site.

Joining in with everyone else here to wish you the best in your life going forward and to drive home how much you'll be missed. This seems like the ideal time to use the qlcrew site to queue up every dave video on the site and drink a toast.

The show is fine. If you don't like listen to it, stop listening. No reason to whine about it.

People have to stop saying this, you'd happily kill all criticism whether it's constructive or not in your attempt to avoid questioning things you enjoy? Do you go into every 1-2 star review on the site and copy paste a similar sentence?

You disagree with the man, that's obvious enough but that doesn't preclude him from giving his honest criticism from his point of view and people debating / discussing the raised points and whether they're valid and if so how they could be fixed / improved upon.

Just chipping in to express my frustration with the video player too, videos just hitching up and requiring multiple restarts whether I open them in firefox or chrome. Someone in the comments somewhere pointed out the annoyance of a site based predominantly around video content having such a poor video player and I have to agree.

sounds like it could be interesting, I hope they realise their goals with the project and that people's prejudices don't damage what seems to clearly be a heartfelt love of involvement in the videogame industry on Jessica Chobot's part.

Also prepare for thousands of let's plays of this by over reacting youtubers. It was called here, you all saw it.

I'm not one to condemn an entire country but yeah that place needs eradicating.

So much military power, so much crazy.

"come on, the U.S. isn't that bad"

Nah the US is pretty bad, but I don't see them actively provoking countries like this, it's just...insane to me.

Yeah North Korea seems so crazy it makes your head hurt to think about it.

It just seems funny that your original post could be applied to either country if we're talking the mentality alot of the internet seems to have haha.

I think alot of people here are jumping down Patricks (for some reason they focus on his use of the word instead of others) throat for using the phrase 'non-euclidian' without fully understanding the word themselves. From my understanding of the concept it looks like the game doesn't render non-euclidian geometry but uses script trickery to give the impression of movement through a non-euclidian space.

It just seems like the argument here is like saying "Blinx the time sweeper isn't really about time travel! it's just coding where it runs the game bckwards!"
