If you have a decent computer, decent connection, a friend to party-play with, yeah I would 100% recommend it. It's not much fun if you play alone vs total strangers but it can be an absolute blast with a friend or two on voice chat (in my opinion at least).

It's free to play, easy to get into, and it's very user-friendly unlike Heroes of Newerth.

Got my June SAT scores back. 1990. Literally 10 points below 2000.

However, with my other SAT, my superscore is 2010.

That's still a good 350 points above average. Congratulations.

Looking forward to seeing England defeat Italy tomorrow!

Spoiler:
I mean that genuinely. I want Germany to knock England out in the semis. In a penalty shoot-out.

Is everyone really that jealous of England that they always want us to do poorly in sporting competitions? It's like the Eurovision contest; all of Europe votes against Britain because they are jealous of Britain's enormous impact on the world of music?

Nope, I just happen to be supporting Germany to win this one.

Don't judge me.

dota 2 better than LoL nonsense (I actually haven't played LoL, but dota/dota 2 definitely better by seeing people talk about what is different between LoL and dota).

plus you don't have to do things like pay for heroes or whatever. Dota 2 is actually free (but in an invite beta currently).

Stop doing that, or else I'll officially rebrand you as an Englishman. And forbid you from wearing the kilt.

Naw man, I'm covered. I genuinely want England to win tomorrow, which means they're going to lose. And even if my whole "Looking forward to..." thing doesn't work and they win, they're gonna be meeting Germany next.

I got this, brother

And I thought the Red Sox and Yankees fandom rivalry was bad enough where I live .

I refuse to recognise any sports rivalry that isn't at least three hundred and fifty years old.

They have only played since 1883.

Kan, I hope you do have this covered. Or else.

It'll fall to the Germans. That's Till's responsibility.

Win-Win-Win for me, really.

Scroll down to "history". As in any good rivalry, the game is merely the medium for a more primordial loathing.

After all, if a rivalry began in living memory, there might turn out to be a good reason for it, and where's the fun in that?

Err, you don't have to pay for heroes. You have to pay for different skins for your heroes, but that is more customization than actual impact on how you play.

League is definitely worth playing, if you have a friend who'll show you the ropes. Going in solo is a bit of a daunting experience, and the playerbase can be somewhat...harsh...especially in early levels.

I've been playing LoL for about two years now. It's free to play; nevertheless I've sunk about $60 into it and never looked back.
