    Nah, Curse dropped in July, Leeroy/Buzzard nerf was september.

    Hearthstone

    It was the perfect storm of webspinner, undertaker, and mad scientist all hitting at once on top of unleash/buzzard. So you had to play around unleash but also had to be able to answer undertaker before it grew out of control. Hunter was completely unstoppable for a couple months there.

    XCOM 2

    You haven't really lived until you've done Iron Man Long War, even on the lower difficulty settings. If you want to play the game aggressively, just play on normal or casual and save scum a lot. The originals punished overly aggressive play pretty heavily, which is why any time you see a lets...

    It will be 75% off at some point during the upcoming Summer sale.

    Yes. You also need Enemy Within because Enemy Within is just strictly better than the base game.

    XCOM 2

    Maybe I idealized the originals too much. I mean either way I've still got 340 hours in XCom on steam, and while most of those hours are from Long War, I know I've completed enemy unknown twice, enemy within once, and at least a couple incomplete I/I campaigns. I still love the game even if I...

    XCOM 2

    Are people forgetting that XCom was actually kind of mediocre or what? It was buggy, full of easily exploitable AI, and had very shallow and relatively linear base building and research, as well as a linear campaign. The remake is a pale shadow of the depth and scope of the originals, as old and...

    XCOM 2

    I assumed it was going to be a mashup of the Terror from the Deep and Apocalypse plots. Something to the effect of we won the first invasion, but then people were like WE DONT NEED XCOM NO MORE and then a new invasion happens. This seems pretty clearly set in the aftermath of XCom losing the...

    Castle

    So is the season going to be very very dull, or are they just going to constantly manufacture reasons for the Captain to be out investigating cases instead of staying at the precinct like the captain should?

    Hearthstone

    Facehunter is getting good again because it has favorable matchups against most of the best decks in the format. Favored against handlock, hybrid hunter, and oil rogue. Weak against patron (and all forms of warrior) but those are the breaks.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If Tyrion said that he was lying his ass off, unless that's another thing they changed dramatically from the books. Before Tyrion kills Tywin, Jaime confesses his part in the nastiness with Tysha, resulting in Tyrion hitting him, claiming he actually did kill Joffrey, and spilling the beans on...

    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    Dude, the third one automatically wins because it didn't have a slapstick rabbit chase, a slapstick goblintown chase, or a slapstick dragon chase. There really is no contest here. You can pick out any stupid moment from the third one, and there are plenty, and none of them will ever be worse...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    From the GoT wiki. In the books Asha never makes that rescue attempt, abandoning him when he won't leave Winterfell. She is captured by Stannis when he retakes Deepwood Motte from the Ironborn, and doesn't even recognize Theon. Stannis is planning to execute Theon for what he did to Bran and...

    Hearthstone

    Eh, Thaurissan is the stone cold tits in patron too. It's not just about comboing sooner, it's about a bigger combo, and that bigger combo may be the difference between winning and losing. Being able to add free whirlwinds and toss in a frothing berserker to a warsong-patron turn can change the...

    So, if I haven't watched anything since s2 ended, would it be worth watching htis one episode? Cause ya'll are going pretty crazy

    Hearthstone

    Yeah, just had a freeze mage go 'antonidas fireball coin frostbolt icelance icelance' in a single turn. Anyone who thinks Thaurissan isn't the most powerful card in the whole game is crazy. Does it need nerfed? I don't know, but it's definitely more powerful than stuff that has been nerfed in...

    Hearthstone

    It is a super op card, and I will be a bit surprised if it doesn't get nerfed. I've been in so many games where either I or the other guy won the turn after playing Thaurissan because of the discount. Also this just happened. Probably a mistake but it was funny so I did it. *edit* Turns...

    Hearthstone

    So I'm experimenting with both dragon warrior and conventional wallet warrior without Thaurissan. I don't think he's a 'stick this in every single midrange or slower' kind of card. He belongs in decks with either robust draw engines (handlock, oil rogue, or patron warrior), decks that rely on...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The weird thing is that Varys apparently wants to put Aegon on the throne, not Daenerys. So what the fuck is he expecting, Daenerys is gonna show up with her dragons, retake the Iron Throne for House Targaryen, and then step aside for Aegon?

    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    Really? Did you not see either of the first two in theaters, or are you actually going to claim that the third one was worse than the other two? Because while it was still a rather mediocre movie, it was unquestionably better than the first two.

    Well I think they realize charge is broken because in the 2 adventures and 1 expansion that have come out since vanilla, there have been exactly 2 creatures with charge, Gnomeregan Infantry and Voltron. So I think going forward, any neutral charge minions will either be shit like Infantry or...

    Hearthstone

    If they nerf warsong commander again they really just need to remove the card and replace it with something else. They should just replace it. Charge is such a broken mechanic in Hearthcards.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Well, show Margaery also has a few years on book Margaery. They are 7 and 14 respectively at the beginning of the series. I believe they are only betrothed in the books, since Tommen is too young to consummate the marriage.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Well in the books, before Varys kills him Kevan Lannister (the new regent and Lancel's father) visits Cersei in her cell and basically tells her she's through in King's Landing even if she weasels her way out of the charges.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Even the Tyrells have to step carefully around the faithful after Cersei gave them so much power. But while it's said that the weak evidence is why Margaery was given over to the custody of Randyll Tarly until her trial, I suspect it is just as much due to the power of the Tyrells. The High...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Maybe, except what actual effect would the appearance of child of Khal Drogo have? It wouldn't reunite his Khalassar, so at most, if Daenerys managed to take the Iron Throne but then died shortly thereafter, her supposed child with Drogo could serve as a pretender, but I doubt GRRM really plans...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Hawkeye is ezpz. Electric Arrow all the things. Bouncing attacks are amazing for leveling. Obviously prestiging with a maxed out legendary is completely different from leveling a fresh hero from lvl 1. Iron Man is just an awkward hero hero no matter what level you are. Even if he's a solid hero...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Tommen is a little kid with no authority. Everything of importance was handled by the Queen Regent. Also, Tommen (presumably) isn't a sociopathic monster like Joffrey was. Besides, if the Crown had any real authority over the religious nuts, she could just order herself released. And as Brando...

    In a word, yes. I imagine it went something like this for most of them 'wow all the pros say this is the best deck in the game right now, and its cheap too, im gonna play this and instantly get #1 legend'. then 40 losses later because they're too dumb to learn how to play a combo deck 'man this...

    The same Tywin who caught a crossbow bolt from his dwarf son in the gut while sitting on the shitter? He wasn't instrumental in the downfall of the Targaryens, he sat on the sidelines doing nothing until the war was all but won after Robert won the Battle of the Trident, sacking King's Landing...
