  1. The answer is in the first clause of your 2nd last paragraph.

    Dota 2

    Not a peep about this upcoming game (nor it's predecessor) in the forum. Pretty astounding as there are c.30 million players of the original version worldwide (more than WoW, CoD, <insert popular big name game here>) and this beta tournament offers the biggest single tourney prize in eSports history ($1million to the winner)! Why noone plays in the UK?!?! The basic premise is two sides on opposite corners of the map trying to destroy each others pre-built base buildings (blue dots on map). It's 5 players against 5 other players, each player in control of one hero (they choose from a pool of over 100 heroes) with spells and shit. To help the heroes attack the opposition base, waves of 'creeps' (allied mobs of dudes, controlled by the AI) are sent out every 30 seconds to attack through all of the three main lanes on the map (in red on the above map). Each side also has stationary towers (purple dots on map) to help defend their base and their lane. Heroes level up by killing shit and buy more and more powerful items also by killing shit to earn gold to spend. At the most basic level, it's a base attack / defence game. In reality it's a game of intense teamwork, individual skill, strategy and timing. Dota 2 beta tourney game example, watch in 720 fullscreen:
  3. Can't wait for the big games!! Come on United and Twente!!

  4. They will callus over soon enough, then you wont have this problem nearly as much. By the way, the rowing machine is a fantastic all-round exercise. It's important that you are using the correct technique, otherwise you'll be getting less power in each stroke, less fluidity, and you could hurt your back. In general, most of the work should be done by your legs, and then the back, arms and shoulders as you finish each stroke. Kinda hard to explain, try to find a video online for proper technique. I'd also suggest mixing up your rowing machine regime on each gym visit to keep things interesting. Some long, low intensity workouts with no break. Some short, higher intensity workouts with many breaks. And some in the middle. Finally, track your times, even better if you use a heart rate monitor! It's a big buzz to see your times get better while your heart rate is at the same range level.
  5. Watch? Bag? DVD?

  6. Spicy pakora breakfast 'gallus'? Heart-disease-inducing more like.

  7. Thick as shit.

  8. Don't mind him, he's grown immune to torture after 6 years of fizzy pop league at Dens
  9. This modern fad of having minutes silences/applause whenever someone e.g. finishes a crossword is a contrived, melodramatic, cringeworthy show.
  10. Home-made pasta. Large Korean soft chocolate 'cookie' things.
  11. Lionel Richie wasn't in the bible, silly

  13. Some b*****d mod deleted my 4 previous posts. So fucking juvenile.
  14. Towelie and Mr Hanky stopped being funny after their first appearance in South Park.
  15. That's like putting your best ever sex in a dream a mile ahead of your best ever real sex. Though I suppose, given those opinions, you might still be a 15 year old virgin.
  16. (f**k sake...) People posting just to be the first poster on a landmark page, such as Page 2000. Fcukin wanks EDIT: woohoo!
  17. You'll pretty much find tourists say that about any country they visit, "Oh, the people were sooo friendly!". Generally because most people are pretty friendly.
  18. Oh, boo fucking hoo, what's that got to do with some non-British guys laying a pavement? If you hadn't heard their accent, would you have given a toss who was laying the pavement? Fucking grow up.
