At last years Blizzcon they showed some of the streamers the arena rankings that they have internally, people with the best records overall. Hafu was the highest win rate arena player who was a streamer, 26th overall. I think Hafu's strongest advantage is she always understands her win...

Tried it in the shop, could land it in the shop. I cannot imagine a scenario where I would recognize the use for that in a real game and nail it though.

So the reason older cast iron pans are nicer is that the metal used to be sanded smooth after molding. This results in a much more consistent cooking surface. Good news is you can do this to any modern cast iron pan, just remove the cure, sand it yourself, and cure it. All the benefits of 100+...

There really needs to be some kind of gating for playing heroes in HL. Like level 5? Or level 5+at least one win? I played with a rank 1 guy who basically got there by spamming Tyrande, picked Muradin. Could. Not. Play. Muradin. Simply didn't understand fundamentally how to tank. Looked him up...

The scaling changes were essentially each hero had a certain bump to each skill at every level, and some levels were inconsistent, which resulted in pretty wild swings when say you were fighting 7 vs 8, where 8 vs 9 was pretty even. They decided they were happy with the numbers @20, so the put...

You can just use the water displacement method honestly, you don't need a vacuum sealer. Even Modernist Cuisine actually prefers the water displacement method for a lot of applications.

So today I did the league (hadn't done it yet), made a couple decks (hadn't played all season), and wrecked. Rank 14, all wins, no losses yet. Interesting playing around with new cards but I should not start playing this late in the season. I feel genuinely bad for playing the people I am, they...

Lunara feels pretty bad. She is about as fragile as Falstad, without an instant escape or the mobility advantage. Her damage is over time instead of bursty. Combined with an average range it means you aren't winning duels except by kiting (bad on Dragon Shire, as an example), and in team fights...

You can do the smurfs in training games. The AI will win 4v5, so you can just afk grind xp. Come back every 25min or so.

Gadgetzan will also draw a card off a counterspelled spell. Always worked that way, it doesn't make sense to me either.

But you always get the win bonus. Put HotS on the wife's laptop, duo-boxed vs beginner AI. Took 11 games, but they were 5min each or less except for towers. Just ping all the bots to you and push one lane all the way to core. If the map has a boss, push that lane, then grab boss when it pops...

So out of curiosity I did one AI game on an alt account. I got Towers of Doom which is the worst possible one for this, but one game and I'm level 3 on this account. Without friend xp. To get level 10 between the stim pack, the bonus xp week, and a friend doing it with you you're probably...

Considering the friend gets a stim pack, getting to level 10 is going to take no time at all. Doing it four times might indeed suck though.

I did, didn't get in.

Not strictly true, killing things is about time, temperature, and oxygen. The inside of meat simply doesn't have enough oxygen to support most pathogens, so the pre or post sear (depending on preference) will kill all the surface things that don't die @120, like listeria. The only reason 120...

On the flip side if you leave their towers low, win the team fight, then split, kill towers, and then channel, you get bonus shots. I like the map but feel it is one sided when played correctly

"Illegal" is questionable. Against the ToS? Sure. But did they ever agree to the ToS? Have to prove that and if they never did, then they can't be at fault. Are the exact terms of that ToS binding in the country in question? Not always. But is IP theft basically always outright illegal? Yes...

Drink cooler.

So the issues with HL duo vs solo queuing have been exacerbated by the Cho'Gall patch. If you duo queue it tries to match you up with other duo queuers (on both sides). So you're guaranteed not to get Cho'Gall, who has tons of counter-picks, in HL if you solo queue. Which makes solo queuing...

So I was helping friends actually win their games for Cho'Gall in QM after I unlocked it for a few people (just more fun that way) and I was practicing my Kharazim. Seven Sided wrecks Cho'Gall. Any follow up at all and he is gone. Which is basically an ult for two kills, which is a great trade.

Have you tried Cinnamilk? Cooking thread won't be the same without you.

I mean they can't not know the counters to Abathur. They had the option to pick up Falstad in place of Valla. Falstad is already good on that map and is arguably the best counter to Abathur body soaking, which is how they kept even despite the "die all the time" comp. If they'd countered the...

My win rate vs Handlock as Control Warrior is really high and I mainly attribute it to Harrison. You can easily go card for card with Handlock, but he way outdraws you. Harrisoning after Jarraxus catches you up in draw and puts both of you on a fatigue clock, but you have Gromm. You should win...

So it is actually faster in terms of resetting CDs to de-hat and then rehat someone, then it is to wait for the hat abilities to cooldown. So unless you went for a hat build (Adrenal Overloard in particular) and are on someone that actually benefits, you should be de-hatting and re-hatting...

If you have a thermometer you can try ghetto sous-vide with a cooler and just get the water 1-2 degrees over what your final temp is, to try it out. The Anova is probably the best one on the market in terms of affordability+performance.

He doesn't have a real engage or a disengage. I THINK he does more damage than Sonya at high levels with slightly better sustain, but has no way to slow enemies or speed himself up so he can't chase well at all. I think he'll be a great bruiser in organized play and pretty bad in HL.

My Costco has 25gallon jugs of peanut oil for like $20-25.

Gourmet Unpopped Popcorn Line - Hulless Popcorn Best popcorn ever. Each one actually tastes different and they are all amazing. I like Petite Princess Amber, wife's favorite is the Yellow Topaz. The sampler pack is a great deal imo, you get all 14 varieties.

I can see the argument, but it isn't like you were running out of cards. And Boom, if he brawls, is 2-8 face damage in all probability, plus a probably clear board for you, because what is he going to play on the remaining mana? When playing the aggressive deck (relatively) I think making the...

So I was starting to get really frustrated with HL, even duo queuing, when last week someone in the Reddit chat channel said they were looking for more for 5v5 scrims. Met a really great group of people that I'd been doing TL and scrims with and the game is so much better. I've been trying to...

I like this idea and I see it is already done. Awesome.

THE FINALS HAPPENED AND IT WAS GLORIOUS! Also my casting was fast paced and hilarious (if I do say so myself). Congratulations to Ravishing/Fawe for going undefeated!

Twitch.tv/cavalierguest, finals are happening now!

I honestly don't like growing things, but the wife wants a garden so I now have seedlings of like 20 herbs starting out.

This. Arthas is really strong at high levels right now, any changes to make him stronger would probably make him too powerful.

My bnet is thegentleman#1373. Friend requested you. I should be available tonight.

Grand finals is when the winner of the loser's bracket plays the winner of the winner's bracket (which could mean two sets, if the loser's bracket winner takes the first one). Yeah I totally missed the winner's bracket finals already happened because of the formatting challonge uses. Different...

I brine my chicken before I sous-vide it. Technically that adds moisture.

Having played a few games being healed by a medic I was on comms with and a few where I didn't know the person, I think the lack of a healing ult is a huge deal, and most people suck at talenting to account for the fragility of the medic. Trauma Trigger at level one is mandatory.
