Live Programming and Events / Re: FanimeCon 2018 Gaming – Official Thread

On this web page:
https://www.fanime.com/exhibits/gaming/egaming/egaming-tournament-details/
It states that the Sign-Up Cap for the League of Legends tournament is 15 teams.

Why 15 and not 16?
16 entries = full tournament bracket
Who is team #15 supposed to battle in the first round if there is no 16th team?

I think DotA > HoN ._. Sure HoN has nice graphics and all but I find it's too chaotic and the overall appearance is too dark for my eyes...

isn't there an option to brighten the graphics?

Most of them probably wouldn't get the joke,
although it would be funny to see a Space Pirate there.

Seriously though, feeding birds and other animals that are wild is a really bad idea.  It eliminates their natural fear of people and they wind up attacking people over food when they get brave enough.  I think it was sometime last year where we had incidents in a park over in Mtn. View where squirrels were attacking kids and some adults because they were expecting food from them.  Likewise, when I visited the Grand Canyon last summer, they had signs all over the place telling visitors that, not only was it a bad idea to feed squirrels and other animals and why, but that it was actually against the law at the park to do so.

Let's start feeding them jalapeños instead! That should (non-violently) teach them to fear humans again!

the bird's wing whacked the wife in the head and another bird crapped on the guy.

so yeah, i understand he's pissed but that's wayyyy over the top.

why would they euthanize it over a broken wing? they can fix that =/

i guess no one wants to put forth the money. :/

Things in the Universe / Bird beaten for stealing ice cream

« on: January 31, 2009, 12:13:50 PM »

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP) - A rare gull that apparently tried to eat a couple's ice cream was euthanized after the man beat the bird with a stick. Dragan Djuric, 50, of Wichita, Kansas, and his wife were eating ice cream New Year's Eve on the boardwalk at Main Beach when a flock of birds attacked them, Laguna Beach police Sgt. Jeff Calvert said.

One bird hit Djuric's wife in the head and tried to take the ice cream. Djuric was defecated on.

The couple dropped the frozen food and Djuric began hitting the birds with a stick, Calvert said.

One of the birds - a rare Heermann's gull - sustained a broken wing and was later euthanized.

Djuric was cited and released on suspicion of animal cruelty.

Heermann's gulls are on the Audubon Society's watch list for at-risk birds. The creatures are surprisingly aggressive and steal fish from the pouches of pelicans and chase other birds to take their prey, according to the society's Web site.

The estimated population of Heermann's gulls is 525,000.

If it had been me there, I would have just tap the bird with my foot. I would never go as far as to break any bones.
