It would make sense if the Smissmas 2015 Mystery Gift contained a MM Beta Pass, seeing as you only get it when you buy a Tough Break Campaign Pass or open a Weapons Case. Curious to see if that will be the case.

It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined
Who went to see the elephant
Though all of them were blind
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind

The first approached the elephant
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side
At once began to bawl
"God bless me! but the elephant
Is very like a wall!"

The second, feeling of the tusk
Cried, "Ho! what have we here,
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me 'tis mighty clear
This wonder of an elephant
Is very like a spear!"

The third approached the animal
And, happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands
Thus boldly up he spake
"I see," quoth he, "the elephant
Is very like a snake!"

The fourth reached out an eager hand
And felt about the knee
"What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain," quoth he
“Tis clear enough the elephant
Is very like a tree!"

The fifth, who chanced to touch the ear
Said "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most
Deny the fact who can
This marvel of an elephant
Is very like a fan!"

The sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope
"I see," quoth he, "the elephant
Is very like a rope!"

And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong
Though each was partly in the right
And all were in the wrong!

So oft in theologic wars
The disputants, I ween
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean
And prate about an elephant
Not one of them has seen!

I'm not sure if it's geo-blocked, not available on mobile or something else, but it just says "This video is not available." for me. I'll try on a desktop when I get home. It feels like having to go to bed the night before Christmas as a child, not gonna lie. >.<

Edit: Works on desktop and Santa did not disappoint me. Hoe Lee Crêpe.

To add on to this, the etymological chain of the word "race" places the meaning of "people with a common culture" before the meaning of "three/four main groups of people with shared physical characteristics including skin colour". A lot of people get this wrong and the definitions Stark posted are considered far more correct unless you're specifically speaking in a taxonomic context. If you're going to correct someone, at least be correct in correcting them and don't spread misinformation, people.

I have Shure SE535s, which are ridiculously expensive. I later tried Shure SE215s and was surprised by the fact that I didn't absolutely hate them in comparison to the SE535s which are 5x as expensive. The 215s are a bit dull in the low mids and the resonant frequencies of drums especially are a bit weak compared to the 535s, but still MUCH better than most all earbuds, especially at the ~$100 price point. Their bass is also far more consistent; usually earbuds either have far too much or far too little bass compared to the higher regions because it is hard to get that into such a small package. Their construction is also very good and the cables can be replaced if they get a break in them, even though they are very tough to begin with.

More views doesn't equal more revenue per se. Ad clicks per view and share percentages, as well as Twitch subscriber money make this a little more complicated.

However, I don't get why things which were streamed on Twitch haven't always been uploaded to YouTube over the past few seasons. The Fall Classic latter rounds and the ESEA S20 end of play-offs are prime examples of this. It would also be nice to have everything uploaded to YouTube "for future generations". It's already been streamed; seems a shame to let that content and the hard work of the production crew be sucked into the eternal void now that Twitch doesn't archive it anymore.

Reminded me of that time TheFragile got a drop across Snakewater mid with an arrow.

Haven't even touched on half the genres or platforms; I could keep going forever.

Thank you Beater, you rule.

I am so happy to see this; takes me way back.

But to answer your question: It's the distance you have to move your mouse on your mousepad to make a full turn in-game, i.e. to return to the same point.

@Setsul or anyone else who knows

I have looked this up before, but the answer seems to differ depending on the source. Response time is the time it takes for the pixel to be instructed to change colours by the controller in the monitor to the time it is actually displaying this colour, right? And how about input lag? Is that the total time it takes for any sensor input to run through your computer until you can observe the feedback, or is it just the time it takes for the relevant output(already processed, but not yet sent) to be sent to the respective controller on the output device by the corresponding device(in case of a monitor, the GPU)? Thank you in advance.

ULMB on a 120Hz IPS panel; isn't that a first as well?

There is one sure-fire way to turn people against something which they already have their doubts about: forcing it on them everywhere, even in places where it clearly doesn't belong. If you want e-sports to become more generally accepted, the most counterproductive thing you could do is to try and get some form of them into the Olympics at this point in time. The best way to increase the popularity of anything and sustain that growth is to do it steadily and fairly, not by elbowing your way in there.

I saw them last year at a festival after not having seen them for a good few years. If you think it was bad after he damaged his vocal chords, go see them now...

As far as singers go, Bruce Dickinson is definitely my favourite and I'm glad you mentioned some Brave New World-and-later songs. I'm going to assume you know the new Maiden album just came out; it is as good as ever. All of the longer format songs on The Book Of Souls have awesome singing(and the shorter ones too!). My favourite ever Maiden song is The Thin Line Between Love And Hate, thanks in part to the chorus vocals.

Have you ever listened to the Bruce Dickinson solo albums? Songs like Navigate The Seas Of The Sun, Eternal and Book Of Thel to name but a few are A++.
