Podcast appearances and mentions of crystal maiden

Listen to hear us discuss the use and mythology about caves from prehistory to current-day TikTok conspiracies. This episode is a bit less polished than our regular ones, but we hope you enjoy this deep dive into the creepy world of caves! ** You can view the Missing 411 maps here: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/missing-persons-cave-maps/ Photos of the Crystal Maiden skeleton in the Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-crystal-maiden-of-the-actun-tunichil-muknal-cave-belize ** You can find Sara on Twitter @ArchyFantasies, or on these podcasts: Archaeological Fantasies, Paranormal Archaeology, and Digging to the Other Side. ** Connect with us on Twitter and Instagram (@SpookySciPod), TikTok (@SpookyScience), and Facebook (@SpookyScienceSisters) for even more spooky content!

On this week's Theorycraft Thursday Proud and Ursi evaluate quite a few different heroes, meta elements, and parse through them like archaeologists with brushes robbing tombs. Topics include: Swift Blink trending, Ursi's hot take about Force Staff, Timbersaw, team comp trends revolving around magic damage & fluidity-of-fighting, Crystal Maiden, Ancient Apparition, Proud's thesis on Necronomicon, a DK build question, OD meteor hammer trends & application, mid Hoodwink, Japanese dramas, and more!

In which Proud and Ursi discuss many things, as always. You should be used to this by now, seriously. Topics include: XCOM, Drow, Slark, Monkey King detox, Nyx Assassin, Ursi's encounter with a 4 Weaver, Crystal Maiden maybe being good, how to pick fights, the idea of 'miscellaneous damage', Ember, KotL, and more!

On this week's Teach Me Tuesday Ursi and Bee get deeper into Bee's transition into an offlane player and answer a listener question on improving when you're newer to the game! Topics include: Centaur Warrunner, Dragon Knight, Sven, Crystal Maiden, how the heck Retaliate actually works, denying for lane advantages, Phantom Lancer, Nyx Assassin, and more!

On this week's Theorycraft Thurs-Fri-Day Proud and Ursi break from their cocoons and become beautiful butterflies, only to die 7 days later. Topics include: Bristleback (as a carry!?), Crystal Maiden, new ranked badges explained, Phantom Lancer, Earthshaker, enabling Storm Spirit, and plenty more!

Episode 57 sees the first of our New Meta hero deep dives, with Adam's favorite Crystal Maiden getting the attention and discussion. The crew talk laning, spells, builds, talents and more; as well as using some intro time to cover the continued changes to match-making.  https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

On this week's Theorycraft Thursday Proud and Ursi fly too close to the sun by attempting to play core Crystal Maiden by abusing her +250 attack speed talent and it goes as expected. It's a great example, if a little strange, of how the proper process of theorycrafting a new build should go when it comes to analyzing a hero's strengths and weaknesses and building around to amplify strengths while mitigating potential weaknesses. For our weak in Dota we have Ursi realizing he's a terrible Invoker player and Proud explains exactly how one figures out how to approach the game strategically once they've taken all the outer towers and are forced to figure out how to approach high ground (hint: its about buying a gem!). All this and more on this week's show!

  On this week's Theorycraft Thursday Proud and Ursi are going over a whole slew of observations about the recent metagame, their observations from watching day 1 of The Summit, why Phoenix is a god, Ursi's attempts to make 4 Kunkka work again, Proud's attempts to make LD work again, Proud playing with Jenkins, and plenty else! For heroes we're covering Crystal Maiden in depth, especially the whole mystique around her +250 attack speed talent, and Wraith King, who loves his kids!

On this week's Teach Me Tuesday Beedub and Ursi are delving into the nuance of dishing out harass from an aggressive perspective as well as what to do when you're getting seriously harassed from a defensive position. We're also covering all those weird talents like Crystal Maiden's +250 Attack Speed and when they're actually useful, the difficult choices between Aeon Disk, BKB, & Linkens, why Ursi's salty about Purge's Crystal Maiden video, and plenty more!

Description: On this week's episode of Theorycraft Thursdays your hosts Proud and Ursi are chatting all about their experiences in the last week of dota playing with random pro players, Ursi losing mid to Puck over and over, Proud enjoying Lifestealer, and more! We're also getting into some of the pros and cons of Dota Plus as well as Proud's theory behind why playing support is so effective at climbing in ranked! For the hero combo this week Proud is playing Sven, a somewhat passed-over hero who is still strong, and Ursi's playing everyone's favorite punching bag, Crystal Maiden!

Bee attempts to maintain consciousness as Proud outlines Crystal Maiden's weaknesses and some other stuff probably, I don't know, I haven't listened to the whole thing yet...

Defense of the Patience - A Dota 2 Podcast Cyphus and Roland hit the lanes with one of their hardest-hitting counterpicks yet with Juggernaut/Disruptor.  They talk the strengths of those two heroes versus an enemy draft of Crystal Maiden, Puck, Pudge, Bristleback and Slark.  Find out how they did and what they thought the strengths of the counterpicks were.

Defense of the Patience - A Dota 2 Podcast Proud joins for a 20-minute rant about why there isn't a new Theorycraft Thursday with a patient Cyphus to try and keep him company and sane.  He does not succeed nor does he try very hard admittedly.  It's late.  And madness is taking hold.  Speaking of madness, this episode also features the very first theorycrafted combo of 6.88: Troll Warlord and Crystal Maiden.  Ah.  To be a young 6.88 again.  When heroes like Troll might have been awesome.

Defense of the Patience - A Dota 2 Podcast Roland and Cyphus are kicking the week off with a tribute to everybody's favorite support: Crystal Maiden.  Then they talk about the struggles of quitting smoking and playing Dota 2.  Finally, the conversation turns cheesy as Roland explains the Vengeful Spirit, Abaddon, Witch Doctor, Nature's Prophet and Luna cheese draft: a five-man strategy that takes advantage of a level one Roshan.  All this and more in the latest episode of the Dota 2 podcast!

Oh my! It's been long, hasn't it? And thank god we've returned with no large developments or changes to the fundamentals of Dotaverse! In this episode: the thrilling finale of the Crystal Maiden mysteries, we find out which hero can save the Eurozone - and something else happens which WE CANNOT REVEAL IN A BLURB IN CASE IT SPOILS YOUR ABILITY TO LOVE!

Roland and Cyphus chat about Invoker, cause Roland loves Invoker lately, even though he hasn't won a game with him yet.  They also talk about the upcoming Dota 2 League tournament finals in Las Vegas, underrated hero ultimates, and ask a ton of questions about how to make Dark Seer's abilities.

Greg Laird, Dota 2 caster and founder of High Ground TV, swings by the podcast to talk his experience with casting, being a panelist at The International 2014, and his endeavors at High Ground TV as well as other upcoming projects.  Cyphus, Wazoo and Roland talk about playing a game of their proposed Tiny, Treant and Crystal Maiden combo and play Guess a Hard Counter to listener-suggested Io.

In this episode of Defense of the Patience, the gang talks about statistics in Dota 2 with special guest Brian Peddie (Phage) from High Ground TV and stat house Standard Deviants.  Cyphus explains his discoveries, and Wazoo's correctness, about Crystal Maiden's ult.  And Roland challenges Cyphus on the podcast to further Defend his Dota Dissertation on using Blink Dagger over Force Staff with Crystal Maiden.

The gang has a discussion about being better players focused on attitudes in Dota 2 team play. Cyphus, Wazoo and Roland discuss the ways in which they all rage when playing and the tribulations faced in trying to overcome those negative aspects of their own play. They also discuss the pros and cons of using a Blink Dagger on Crystal Maiden over a Force Staff and play a lively round of Worst Way to Die.
