I will also revisit my DC Universe Online playthrough since I have just now noticed how popular it has become recently.

Joseph Stalin ranks as one of the greatest tyrants of all time, responsible for the deaths of 20 million of his own countrymen. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the extent of Stalin's atrocities has been revealed, and he has taken his place alongside Hitler as one of the most reviled leaders of the century. This comprehensive portrait revisits the life of "Uncle Joe" via Soviet archival film and an astonishing collection of interviews.

Earphones: http://bit.ly/ZephyrEarphones3 Zephyr Team Shirts: http://www.teamliquid.net/store/us/teamliquid/tshirts/zephyr-team-shirt Spectre is one of the best late game carries because of his scaling abilities(great mobility, good bonus damage, and very tanky while reflecting). He can be off farming and then teleport into the fight while doing radiance burn the entire time. This game I poor manned out a radiance after being in a 2v2 and 2v1 scenario where I didn't play that great. I built a vanguard first which I THINK was an okay decision? It might have been better if I just built damage and tried to snowball of of kills. Vanguard doesn't give you much offensive capabilities at all. I'm unsure if it's worth getting or not.

Usually you max out your aura second and build as many agility items as possible so that your team gets helped, but I went a little more greedy and opted for late game items. Mask of madness is a great pickup on her because it helps her farm rapidly, and due to silence and 60% slow on arrows, you can do a ridiculous amount of damage from range and kill your opponents while holding them in place. Mask of Madness is almost always the correct build! Once you get it and level 6, don't be afraid to go jungling for a while and let one of your supports catch up/get exp in the lane. Later build either a Shadow Blade or a blink dagger so that you can turn your damage into kills. Always push towers in the early game when possible since you can take them very rapidly. Late game build a variety of items depending on the opponents, but usualily something like Black King Bar, Manta Style, Daedalus, Monkey King bar, Satanic, or Butterfly.

To download theScore eSports app on Google Play, click here: http://thesco.re/esportsappk2 I play at least 1 ability draft when I play with twitch.tv subs, and they usually turn out pretty great! This game I got a good mix of skills. Ice Path is pretty amazing for an ability(similar to a fissure), the Razer Nuke is strong for harass/chase/farming, and finally Impetus on a ranged hero with huge movement speed is super overpowered. Enchantress has a slightly short range(about 500) This was helped as well with the Razer passive, which gave me extra movement speed. I thought that building aghs would be the best go to since it gives me even more kill potential. It worked out pretty well.

To download theScore eSports app on Google Play, click here: http://thesco.re/esportsappk2 I haven't played Wraith King carry in a while but I haven't changed up my playstyle or build in a while. But I randomed him so here you go :) I don't usually build midas on Wraith King, but it can be a great pickup because it power levels you gold as well as levels. The levels are pretty important because getting to level 16 allows you to have a very short ultimate(60 seconds). I still think armlet is pretty core on the hero because it gives you 60 damage for 2400 gold, and being able to toggle gives you huge potential to outplay your opponents while adding important tankiness to your hero. Before armlet though, the most core item is a mobility item, which should usually be blink, but sometimes Shadow Blade works as well. Blink is generally far superior though due to it working under towers, and it being an instant initiation. After blink and armlet you should purchase depending on what you need. More damage? Attack speed? Armor? Do you need an MKB because of a PA or a WR? The items change entirely depending on the opponents, so make sure you change things up a little every game.

♪ Who would've thought that the first video i'll upload ♪ With my new account would be an engsub? ♪ I haven't found an accurate translation so I tried my own. ♪ It might not be 100%, but the context is at least understandable. ♪ First, the song is about the Red Purge, so you might inform yourself a little, the lyrics are kinda hard to understand out of context. ►Wikipedia: The Great Purge was a campaign of political repression in the Soviet Union that was orchestrated by Joseph Stalin and occurred from 1934 to 1940. It involved a large-scale purge of the Communist Party and government officials, repression of peasants and the Red Army leadership, and widespread police surveillance, suspicion of "saboteurs", imprisonment, and arbitrary executions. ►See also: The Purge in Japan was the prohibition of designated Japanese people from engaging in public service, by order of the General Headquarters of the Allied Forces (GHQ) after Japan's defeat in World War II. It ended upon Japan's independence in 1952. ※ Anyway, here are some translation notes: ※ Shoot the red (context) → shoot the communists ※ (Red is traditionally associated with socialism and communism) ※ Ultramarine (interpreted to?) → from beyond the sea (lat.) ※ Knock down the national railway → (this might be relevant) From 1943, the national railway reduced its civilian passenger service, putting priority on military transportation. ※ Wearing someone's wishes like an umbrella → taking advantage, shielding you with them(?) ※ PLASTICS → I'm not too sure, it either means plastic, but there's also a japanese Band called "Plastics". They're from the 1970's though. I don't know the relevance. ※The president dresses in drag → it literally says women's clothes, but drag seemed to fit better. (J. Edgar Hoover?)

This is not an angry RANT about me losing roughly 1000 followers, it's a RANT about all the people up in arms about losing so many. Before I get into more detail, if you were not aware of what was going on, Instagram has started to delete and remove spam bots and fake accounts. This means for anyone who purchased fake users they would see a substantial drop in their following. I am happy Instagram culled these fake accounts but a lot of people who "had" a large following are complaining strongly to Instagram to add back their lost numbers. Are you kidding me, add back fake numbers, cut the bs and get over the vanity fake numbers. Click the link above to read the entire article.

U~T San Diego 2015-01-23The Great Purge was a series of campaigns of political repression and murder in the Soviet Union orchestrated by Joseph Stalin from 1937 to 1938. It involved a large-scale purge of the Communist Party and government officials, repression of peasants, Red Army leadership, and the persecution of unaffiliated persons, characterized by widespread police surveillance, widespread suspicion of "saboteurs", imprisonment, and arbitrary executions. In Russian historiography the period of the most intense purge, 1937–1938, is called Yezhovshchina (Russian: ежовщина; literally, the Yezhov regime), after Nikolai Yezhov, the head of the Soviet secret police, NKVD.
In the Western world, Robert Conquest's 1968 book The Great Terror popularized that phrase. Conquest's title was in turn inspired by the period of terror (French: la Terreur) during the French Revolution.
The term "repression" was officially used to denote the prosecution of people considered as counter-revolutionaries and enemies of the people. The purge was motivated by the desire on the part of the leadership to remove dissenters from the Party and what is often considered to have been a desire to consolidate the authority of Joseph Stalin. Additional campaigns of repression were carried out against national minorities and social groups which were accused of acting against the Soviet state and the politics of the Communist Party.
