No you aren't.

you think you are.

And then you get crushed again.

And it's all "why did i do this"

But you keep playing.

and you rape.

and it's like "I'M SO MUCH BETTER AT THIS GAME"

and then you get anally violated again.


btw if you wanna play some drop your summoner name on here, i'll add you on a smurf and play some games. i may even be able to give some tips. i'm level 30 and the such sort.

edit: i just realised smurf means nothing to you. i'll add you on an lower level account.

Not so sure how I feel about the Kayle re-do. =/

On the one hand, some of the new aspects sound pretty cool. But on the other hand, she's not OP or underpowered as it is. I can think of a lot of champions who are in much more need of rebalancing than Kayle.

I'm gonna need to see the numbers, but it sounds more like a nerf than anything. Especially the change on her passive.

Looks like poor sales and the threat of the Vita have rattled Ninty somewhat. They've just announced a $70 price drop (that's ~£40 in real money), effective from 12th August. Americans who already own a 3DS, or buy the system before the price drop, can get 20 free games (10 NES, and 10 GBA) from the eShop. I assume the rest of the world will get something similar.

The price drop will definately increase sales and the free games is an excellent way to avoid pissing off people who have already bought it, especially so close to its launch. My glasses sit kind of half off my nose (need to get them seen to) so they slip down - this makes playing the 3DS a chore and a headache for me so the price drop still won't get me buying one

im hoping it comes down to about £150-£140, cause i intend to trade in one of my DS lites and put the money towards a 3DS. simply because although £200 is far too much, i had a shot of one in game and thought it worked really well.

How about something to help fuel the Deus Ex hype machine?

Even if the game turns out shit I genuinely enjoy the advertising.
