Ti 10?

DOTA The International I assume. I used to be really into LoL and always enjoyed watching the LCS. Worlds is on right now.

Ha, I am slowly getting into LoL since I discovered K/Da

Group stage of TI is fun because it’s like March Madness, with 4 games going all the time, and you can definitely make money live betting just by looking for arb opportunities.

There’s tons of juicy lines on BOL, but coinbase is slowpaying me today for some reason. It’s usually instant and they are pissing me off.

These lines were all arbable at another book, definitely value out there. Only looked at the first two sets of games. All my BOL money is in play though so I may miss out on juicier live lines if coinbase doesn’t give me my crypto soon.

I’m not much of a gamer at all, but have been playing a pretty fun co-op game over the past few weeks called Human Fall Flat. It’s a puzzle game that is similar to Portal in some ways in that you are trying to reach the end of the level and have a bunch of logic and physics based challenges to solve. I think it can be played solo, but I’d imagine it’s way more fun with a friend or group of friends. Worth checking out if you are looking for something a little different.

I’m the same way except I can’t even get through the missions a first time.

I’ve watched lots of video game history videos, so I naturally understood the parody and loved it, but had never seen the videos it was specifically goofing on. I just pulled one up - wow is this accurate.

The comedian who made it is really funny. He recently posted a ton of videos and pretty much every one is great. He used to write for Onion News Network and Clickhole, so it’s not hard to visualize his sense of humor.

Youve never seen a summoning salt video?

Highly recommended, especially for older guys like us since he tends to focus on primarily older games. His “Quest to defeat Matt Turk” video is glorious.

And yeah, Ill have to check out more of his stuff. I really liked this.

Yeah, oddly never seen one. I watch Gaming Historian and have tuned into other random video game history videos. Of course, I’ve watched pretty much all of the video game documentaries, too.

Speaking of documentaries, behold and envy me:

Oh, what’s that? Let’s zoom in.

Is that from the man himself?

Oh yes.

My brother and I went to the 2018 Southern Fried Gaming Expo in Atlanta. We were walking in the hallways where vendors had tables outside the convention halls and came across this lonely table with one dude sitting there and not much of a display. It was bottles of Billy Mitchell’s hot sauce and I think some DVDs. We asked the guy about them and he said something to the effect of they didn’t have a permit to technically sell the stuff at the expo, but they were allowed to setup the table and give things away while encouraging “donations.”

So I thought it would be fun to grab a bottle of hot sauce and gave the guy $5 because I didn’t want to be a freeloader (plus, he seemed miserable). He told me Billy was around somewhere and since I paid for it, he’d sign it if I wanted to wait. I wasn’t going to wait, but he happened to walk up right then, so I got his autograph. He didn’t seem in the best mood, so I didn’t ask for a picture. My brother snapped some of him earlier from afar just so he had proof he was there.

Scrolling through his other pictures, it looks like Billy Mitchell was sitting there earlier signing autographs.

I think this has been standard for him for like the last 5 years. Dude seems absolutely miserable

It sucks being exposed as a fraud.

wow don’t have enough on bovada to take full advantage of this, didn’t realize they had that high of a max wager on these
