You know when kids are young and they think to themselves "When I move out, I'm going to stay up all night and eat ice cream for breakfast?"

That's the same thing as buying and owning an arcade machine. Yes, it's partly nostalgia of owning a game that you used to love to play (even though it's probably been re-released on a much cheaper and more convenient platform). It largely has to do with the cool factor of owning your own arcade machine. If you grew up going to arcades, the idea of having your favorite arcade machine in your house that you could play as much as you want for free seemed like a crazy fantasy when you were a kid, which as an adult, you gleefully indulge yourself with. You're a at a place in your life where you have the space and disposable income to go nuts and do something kind of stupid and crazy. It's like guys in their 40s going out and buying a muscle car from the 70s even though there are faster and more efficient cars nowadays) because it was the car they always wanted when they were a teenager.

@TheMustacheHero: Her laning definitely is, which is why I like her. One of the designers said on the forums not long ago they think she is probably one of the top 5 best laners in the game right and they'll probably nerf her a bit at some point but it's not high on their list.

This is what always happens. Within a week or 2 of me picking up and starting to play a champion, they nerf them.

Still playing a lot of my main, Malphite. Just wrecks people in lane.

Recently picked up jungle WW again even though I'm not a big jungler - still super fun.

I always thought I'd never be any good at AD carries. Then I started playing Caitlyn. 15-1-7 last night. Feels good man.

I think I will try and give this one another go, at least playing Super again before I decide if I want to get AE.

What's the GB SF community like? How would I go about hooking up with players from here that either aren't super good and will destroy me or will at least be nice and friendly about it?

Haven't played much since a few months after Super came out but been paying attention to the competitive scene since before and after that (competitive gaming fascinates me, even if I don't play the game).

With the release of AE, I'm thinking about trying to jump back in since I'm sure I there'll be a bunch of new blood and I might possible win a round or two occasionally.

Should I give it a go? I used to main Balrog who I hear has been nerfed but used to play a lot of Dee Jay in Super Turbo and heard he got buffed a bunch in AE (still not top tier, but more viable at least).

Game of the Podcast, for sure.

From Alex's Twitter:

That Minecraft story you all read? Wrote that naked.

I feel dirty.

I'm glad because regardless of how I feel about her being pretty annoying when drunk, the things being said about her in the live stream chat and these forums were frankly disgusting and I was embarrassed to be a part of this community.

Game development is much, much more expensive than it used to be. That means it's much more  difficult and costly to make a long game or a more innovative one. 
 
Same reason why blockbuster movies aren't super creative. In order to make your money back, you have to make it appeal to the highest number of people.

Depends. 
 
If there's a side case or hidden car location relatively along the way or not too far out of the way, I'll drive. 
 
If not, I'll let my partner drive. For anyone concerned about missing out on the conversations, they're still there if you let him drive.
