Dota: anyone wanna play?
Well, AR's not fair most of the time because of hero balance. What you get with RD is more fair teams. And if the teams aren't fair, then you can blame for players for their hero choices.

Dota: anyone wanna play?
Heh, it's 25 Warcraft III wins. =O And yea, RD does get a bit boring, but it's just more fun because you get to pick counter heroes and all. AR is far from being fair.

Man I'm excited. Just a few days until I get to see one of my favorite singers.

Dota: anyone wanna play?
The "new" TDA requires you to have an icon (25 wins with any race) before you can play. I'd say the players are on a different level, but not because they're much better than pubs. Moreso because many TDA players are friends (that are also on either private Ventrillo servers or on the TDA Ventrillo), so going against 5 friends with chat is much harder than a pub game. Also, you have to adjust to non EM. Right now, my friends and I play mostly RD, though it gets boring seeing the same heroes all of the time. I just like TDA because people don't leave games.

When do you consider an amp "high end"
High end is one step above what you can afford. =T

Shoot low to avoid the massive distortion from UWA lenses. =T I learned first hand when I borrowed a friend's EF-S 10-22mm UWA.

I loved it. The biggest reason I sold it was because I'm 6'1" and commuting in the IS300 to work wasn't the most comfortable ride. Also, the gas mileage (I got about 18mpg) wasn't the most friendly. =T But aside from that, I love how it handles and how refined the engine is.

J. Gordon Holt - On the state of hifi
I agree with this whole heartedly. I can enjoy music from my car speakers, from my friend's 1 earbud when we're taking the subway, or out of the stock speakers on a 32" CRT TV from the 90's.

I don't know how it is where you live, but here, BMW covers all maintenance within your warranty period. So leasing for 3 years means no maintenance bills for yourself. You definitely have to factor that in when you think about getting a BMW. My friend just got a Z4 in stick and our friend told him if/when he burns his clutch out (never drove stick until he got the Z4), bring it in and it'll be replaced under maintenance. =T You don't have to pay for oil changes or anything. As for the IS300, it's a monster of a car (handling). I had alot of fun driving it, never having to slow down for turns. It makes you feel like you're glued to the seat. As for the IS350, it's a bit more luxurious, and I've never been in a 350. I have a few friends with the IS250 AWD, but they're going to definitely drive differently.

What are you smoking right now?
They're different. Even Marlboro Lights from NY are different than Lights from Virginia.

GTi's are ridiculously fun to drive. Before I got my IS300 (just sold it on Tuesday), I used to drive my friend's all the time. But put some snow down and that car will slide to hell.

The Live Music Thread
I was never that into music until the past year or so. I've been to a few symphonies when I was younger, but that's about it.

November NYC meet impressions
Bah, I totally forgot about those. I wanted to give them a listen. Oh well, there's always next time. I listened to the new PK1's, the one with the screw on iem. I first listened wtihout the add on and found the sound to be pleasant. Lacking a bit of bass, but still sounding good. It's a very different turn from the current PK1, and it's definitely more to my liking. After adding on the iem thing, I didn't bother listening for more than a few seconds as there's massive amounts of bass bloat and it overwhelmed me. I knew already that I would never use the add on in it's current form.

My love for Seinfeld
I loved Seinfeld back in the day, but I can only watch so much of it now. I was actually watching it the other day with my dad and neither of us could stand Kramer. =[
