There were 20 kills in the first 5 minutes. The entire game was pure chaos. 111 kills in 37.

Here is some Holiday Music.

REALLY WARSPADE

/facepalm

Since the front page isn't used that much I figured we could share the results of a nice League of Legends game we played recently. For those that don't know our opponents are all employees of riot including the infamous Jesse Perring who made a name for himself by being a very skilled Dota player. He was one of the original employees of Riot and has a bit of a Chuck Norris type thing going for him. Google him O.o it's weird.



As you can see from above we managed to pull off the win while 100s of players watched the riot stream. There was a forum thread to go along with it as well. Everyone on our team played well but it was definitely close. If the game had gone on another 10 minutes I'm fairly certain we would have lost as the Poppy and Vayne were starting to get big.

FFXIV New Raids in Patch 1.18



Rank 25+ 4 Man

The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak



Named for the thousand-mawed beast of Padjali legend—and in turn lending its dreaded moniker to a bygone warden of exceptional infamy—the endless cells of this notorious dungeon once held such heinous criminals as poachers and arsonists. Deemed barbaric and unworthy of Gridanians, Toto-Rak was abandoned and sealed three decades ago, its labyrinthine network of tunnels and shafts now given over to feral beasts.

Rank 45+ 8 Man

The Dzemael Darkhold



Formerly an expansive system of natural caverns, the Darkhold was established when Count Dzemael of Ishgard recognized its potential as a subterranean fortress in the war against dragonkind. Work has since been ongoing to prime its vaulted chambers and rocky passageways for military purposes. Recently, however, word has arrived by way of leaked intel that troops of foreign origin have seized occupation of the Darkhold for an as-yet unknown end.
