Has anyone else been having trouble with HD on the HTML5 player lately? Yesterday there were buffer issues, but today it won't even load.

Or a better lesson, don't play with randoms. If the guy playing Brewmaster had helped when everyone started pushing they would have had it.

It was funny though when Crispy said "Bounty may or may not have a rapier, just so you know." after losing his second rapier.

Blows that they're just playing MM'ing and not with the community or with any community members. On top of that Brad isn't even good enough to make it an entertaining watch. Waste of time.

So it'd be more entertaining if he was playing people you vaguely recognize? What.

That was both painful and awesome to watch live. The dark beginning, the comeback and hubris, then the collapse. It was a nice little three act morality play.

I still don't have any idea about how it's being played, but I do enjoy how each session can spiral out into something unique.

Brad if you're playing ranged support you should really right click harass the enemy carries when they try to farm.

edit: well now that i posted it, you said it yourself :P

edit2: oh if you'd used stun first under that tower you'd gotten a double kill ;). And you passed up so many kills in general ;). If you're not sure what you can do I just recommend try spamming some abilities to get an understanding of how much damage what does.

Yeah that's true but then again if you set-up a lobby I don't think you'll gain battle points or loot at the end of the game though.

@crispy: I was referring to a counter to the Butterfly since I believe you mentioned a hero on the opposing team was building up to that. I don't think I mentioned a healing item right? I don't know if I missed it but were did you make a Buriza/Daedalus(dunno if that's the correct spelling)?

@gaspower: The smart thing would have been to build an MKB to counter Luna's potential Butterfly. The rapier thing to rapier would rapier rapier rapier. #morerapiers

Every time you say mech, Brad, I imagine you building a big robot.. which still seems cooler than a healing item but thanks for the explanations.

I love how Brad shits on the Brew Master, but that Brew was higher level, had 250 last hits, and had pretty much zero support from anyone in the group.

I dont remember them typing much into chat to let the guy know what they were doing either, but I might have missed that.

Dont be made at people Brad when your not very good!

That's actually a really good point. There were times I was wondering what Brewmaster was doing but I didn't think about him not being able to hear anything being said. Hard to get in on the action and coordinate with the team when you're basically on an island.

Should of just bought like 3 Rapiers man. How could that backfire? Just take the logic of the xzibit meme to it's logical DOTA conclusion.
