I got a Red Ring of death on my Xbox a month after I bought it.

I fixed it by pulling out the electrical cord and putting it back in.

Very few Red Ring errors are total deaths xD

[Morinth]

Mine didn't work for a day when I got mine. XD I tried it again the next day after telling my family I wanted a proper funeral for it and it popped on after a few spluttering starts. XD Still got life in it yet!

[Nithel]

3 weeks till new SSX game!

Oh. I forgot. My 360 is dead. DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD

There's a new SSX game??? that is so hawt

[Lavian]

So I DL'ed League of legends, did a few bot games. No idea who I feel in the mood for really, I did a game with Kayle and Garen. But no idea if I want to optimize with a tank type or a melee fighter type.

Ontop of that I feel hesitant as fuck going into a game alone as I cant be arsed having to deal with ragers, seems they're notorious in LoL.

[Raelan]

Come back to WoW.

[Nifty]

There's quite a few RPers playing LoL, finding some friends here to play with is totally worth it since playing with friends is 3x as fun as playing solo queue.

If you're about tomorrow, add Vaell, I'll play later. Don't find an optimize, just play all!

I've never had much problems with my xbox other than my first one breaking. The new one works fine and fast.

I would love to play a game with you at some point! I have a level 30 account, but you'd be pitted against higher level players as a result, so I could use my level 2 account for a little bit of fairness for you. Not got many champions on that one though.

Go with atleast two people you know and can communicate with. That way, you can rage and flail how the other two in your team are useless.

If you want guides on how to do things right in League of Legends, try mobafire.com or solomid.com.

On another note, I was cackling over Skype like a madman cause I had complete air superiority on Caspian Border in Battlefield 3, driving around and shooting down SU-35 and AH-1Z Viper's with my F-18 Super Hornet.
Bro over skype: Dude, stop grinning.
Other bro: Yeah, you're reminding me of that picture from /v/.
Me: *Bursts out laughing again, literally crying due to laughter.*

This was the picture:

If you want, i'm using my original account though which is level 12. I got into a game with Nifty, the rest were level 30's. I played as Kayle but I am beginning to realise isn't my ideal champ, so will experiment around until I get the feel for one I like.

I think I have Nifty on my friend list, so if I'm on when you're all playing, I'll see if I can join in. I play an awesome Janna if an AD carry needs a support.

[Eowale]

Janna

Sona > Janna.
Soraka > Janna.
Nunu > Janna.
Taric > Janna.

[Morinth]

Janna

Sona > Janna.
Soraka > Janna.
Nunu > Janna.
Taric > Janna.

I've won against them all in ranked. Faced an Alistar too as enemy support, he didn't last long either.

Janna sucks when played 'okay'. Janna played by someone who knows what they're doing is another matter.

[Vaell]

Janna is a boss champion. She has a grew knockup, movement speed for all champs on the map, great shield and a pushback+heal ulti. She is played by pros in the League tournaments.

IMO; Support healers goes as follows... Taric, Janna, Karma, Soraka, Sona

(This is coming from someone who has 600 wins )

[Nifty]

Janna compensates her somewhat weaker lanig phase with very strong lategame usefulness compared to all other supports.

[Sanara]

Janna is just less useful than the primary healers like Soraka, Sona and Taric because her knockup CC and knockback Ult are highly situational and skilled players have little difficulty avoiding it. The shield just doesn't compare to a solid stream of healing in laning either.

I play with a few friends that are good with various supports (Personally the only supports I play well are Soraka and AP Karma) and Janna certainly has her moments - but it's kinda like putting Master Yi up for "best melee DPS", sometimes you're right and other times he's like one of those blocks in Super Mario Bros where you keep getting dozens of coins by jumping into it repeatedly.

[Lavian]

So yeah, someone explain to me the LoL terms like SS and AP and whatnot.

[Morinth]

SS means Missing. Basically, LoL players are lazy fuckers and can't type Missing. When an enemy is missing from your lane and you don't know where they are.

Care Top/Mid/Bot is a warning to those respective lanes, if you think an enemy is headed their way for a gank.

AP is Ability Power, AD is Attack Damage, Tank is pretty easy, so's Support. A Carry is generally the AD champion who'll get most of the kills for your team, carrying the game.

CS is your Creep Score, how many minions you've killed so far for the gold. Important unless you're the Support, they're supposed to hang about and support you, not steal all your income.

Blue and Red are the monster buffs in the jungle, blue is great for AP or anyone who needs mana regen, think it gives some CDR too, which is cooldown reduction. Red gives your attacks the ability to slow the enemy champion, and I think it either hits them with fire damage, or burns them over time. Not sure which one.

Dragon is the... Dragon. XD Gives your team global gold, so everyone earns some on a dragon kill.

The Baron is a dick. The Baron gives the Purple buff, which raises all your stats. It's highly prized late-game cause just having it on can turn the tides of a fight and win you the game. I like to ward him and KS the buff with my Lux lazer of DOOM. I once KS'd it as Gangplank by walking it, shooting it onc and dying instantly to a very angry enemy team. But my team all got buffed, so whatever. xD KS'ing is Kill Stealing. Gangplank is pro at that.

I think that;s the main stuff... If it made sense at all.

[Sanara]

In addition to "SS", people tend to say "Miss" or "MIA" depending on wether you're EU (Miss) or US (MIA).

In general it's advisable to call "ss " when you're even the slightest bit unsure where your laning opponents are, even if they're just slightly out of your sight.

Nothing pisses a good team off more than one person's lack of awareness dragging the whole team down with them <.<

On a side note, anyone playing EU-West (I got assigned Nordic/East but transferred 'cause fuck those Polish kurwas <_<) up for games over Skype? I'm pretty out of practice but I hate trying to get the groove back with random teams <.<

[Morinth]

I'm on West. I got assigned there... It said "We'll try and assign people to servers according to where their friends are all placed" etc.. All my friends got sent East, so I was alone on West. Until they transferred/made new accounts.

I've been having interwebs trouble for the past wee though, but if it's fixed this weekend, I'll see if I can play.

SS came already back in DotA.

Additionly. Some people use "b" it means "to back" or in other cases "I'm going back".
