During the leaving podcast when Brad was talking about 'the end' and eulagising, Jeff piped up and said we'll still be here next week - that to me said everything I need to know.
Quite opposite to the norm, I have had a fantastic introduction to playing Dota 2. I started playing 3 days ago going through the tutorial and bot matches - I played around 3 games with the AI before going into 'limited draft'
I have now played 12 matches and won 11 with numerous 'GODLIKES, UNSTOPPABLES, SOMEONE KILL EM's'
I'm really enjoying myself - it seems there are alot of new people playing Dota which has helped me get into playing.
Anyway, I'm still a noob but would most defo be up for some co-ordinated games with duders. I'm usually on EU west as it offers the best latency for me.
MonkeyKing is spot on - The best bang for buck at (£100-£150 / $169 -$250) is certainly the 270x however I would really urge if budget allows to go for the 280x as it is quite a leap up in power. I got a really good deal on an MSI 280x 3GB a few months back and it has handled everything I can throw at it.
Basically everything above a 270x will handle your requirements, but in terms of future proofing your purchase, which I know is fairly impossible, the 280x is the bang for buck leader.
Scotland is a wonderful place - I adore Glencoe and the Highlands. If you'd really like to study here you'll meet people who are down to earth - and your grades will be respected the world over. Bring your rain coat however.
For me, this sort of feeling comes in cycles - Jadedness follwed by elation.
I just cannnot for the life of me, enjoy games as much as I used to. Sure my life has changed dramatically - I have much less spare time, and I have much less patience to a certain degree. I guess my 'era' has well and truely passed.
Even the sheer amount of games I am now able to posses, it spoils me. Back when I didn't have the disposable income to splash out on games willy nilly, that one or two games I had satisfied my yearning, and then some. Gone are the days I'd happily play 'Terminator' on the SNES (if you havent played it - it's shite). All the billions of dollars the gaming industry throws at the AAA's can't buy my gaming heart like those games with true soul put into them.
