League of Legendsis full of champions who taunt their enemies, but only one says “Who wants a piece of the champ?!” When I first saw today’sLoLdlequote, I immediately thought of Draven. He’s the most braggadocious, after all, and it made a lot of sense that he’d be taunting other champions into fighting him. And seeing how nearly 3,600 people guessed the Noxian ADC, it didn’t seem like too bad of a guess....

Also, the animation was done by Paul Robertson (NSFW, but amazing); always a good thing in my book....

You would be amazed at how often writers from science fiction have predicted the future of technology. Using their obsessions with sociological and technological developments, some remarkable predictions have been made about what the world of tomorrow will hold. Predicting the technology of tomorrow Sci-fi writers are rarely also scientists, but they are often deeply interested in the human psyche. Because of this, I feel they are well-equipped to predict what we will be using in the years to come....

And one of those sides lives extremely creepily because it exists within the spirit world. No one said a dual-reality would be more of a gift than a curse.

Sorry about the confusion.] The high-speed arcade racing franchiseBurnouthas found a home on nearly every platform over the years, but has managed to skip Nintendo’s consoles this current generation.
