Johanna's low win rate is basically because Leoric wrecks her. You have to not pick her to beat Leoric (or also take Leoric).

Sign up thread will be posted tomorrow, I'll give people 5-7 days to sign up, then I'll generate brackets. Preference to date has been for the tournament to be "play as you have time" as opposed to all on the same day, because of time zone differences, etc. So far all the tournaments have...

Conquest at three wins means three decks. I think that is pretty reasonable. Only thing I could imagine is upping it to five for semi-finals and/or finals. Preferences?

The meta is stable and healthy you say? Excellent. So probably on Tuesday I'll post up a thread for the first Rerolled TGT tournament. We'll probably be switching over to the conquest format without bans (so you have to win one game with each of your decks). I think the format is better...

ZP talked about how this shouldn't happen in his stream like a month ago. I'd be curious to hear his thoughts now that it happened. Yeah Arch, it was fun!

Anyone want to get a group together try team league? I think it'd be fun to consistently queue as 5 and work on different comps/strategies. I'm always in the rerolled channel when I'm on if anyone is up for it.

I own a Vitamix and I agree. If you're not actually using all that power to do stuff, it probably isn't worth it vs a $50 blender. But I can make tempered chocolate pie fillings in mine, set custards, make shaved ice, etc., and I do at least one thing per week that requires a Vitamix. Could I do...

Most professional chefs use Vitamix. They alternate in terms of power every few years. Cheapest way to get either one is to wait for a road show at Costco in either case though.

The 5200 or the G-series if you want it short and squat instead of tall. Easier to put the short one in the fridge and what not.

No, not at all.

I don't think anything will supplant Patron Warrior for a long time to come. If I didn't already have golden Warrior I doubt I'd be laddering with anything else, but Warrior is far and away my best class so I can understand not running it if you aren't good with the deck.

For those who were wondering, you can hat Misha as Abathur and it makes Hivemind pretty ridiculous since there are always two targets getting the benefit.

In my experience being down a talent is the big deal. 15 vs 16 is a world different from 16 vs 17 (or even 16 vs 19). Most people get aggressive when you're behind, the thing you should do is soak and be careful. If you watch the shot call breakdowns of competitive games that some players do...

He is only ever played as an off-tank in stun combo comps. Hook in, chain stun, kill. They are reworking him internally to be a specialized anti-mage tank, but that is a bit off apparently. Leoric and Johanna are the two best tanks for pugs by a large margin.

The problem with playing for free now is BRM and Naxx have so many good cards between them that you have to save up thousands of gold to buy them. I can't think of a competitive ladder deck that doesn't run cards from one or both of them. You get around a thousand free gold from beating every AI...

I don't understand people who never vary their talent builds based on the map/team compositions. Spell Shield counters a lot of the ridiculousness that is Chain Bomb when the enemy team has a KT, but people don't take it and then bitch about taking so much damage from KT.... EDIT: Just had to...

A friend of mine discovered that you get the goblins in AI games sometimes and you can just AI game with AI teammates, kill goblin, exit game. Repeat as needed. He was doing it for the free 100g every day, but if you really need those 50 kills for the portrait.

I'm sure it'll shake out. But a lot of people actually like Paladin and it has been shit on ladder for so long, people are just enjoying a "new" class.

They both work, so fairly easily. You think DINK is great, try TINK. Also I'd quit my job, which I don't like, but I'd still be doing things that make money that I do enjoy, but not as much money.

I'd quit working so fast if I got a free 4k/month. I could go do pretty much anything I actually wanted to do on that, forever.

Steamers are pretty easy to hack together. Perforated pie tins, pastry cutters, pot with water is an easy example. I've made huge ones out of disposable aluminum chafing dishes, for when I've helped cater dances. Not really something you need a dedicated device for.

It was a gift.

Was in a game on Garden of Terror where the whole team was bitching at the Nova for not doing siege damage/contributing to XP and we were losing. Kept asking her why she was standing around. Meanwhile the last pick Brightwing who said he'd support didn't even take Blink Heal and had 1/3 of the...

You guys suck. Fine, fine, TGT obviously deserves a tournament. I'll get all fancy and have casting and everything!

Blizzard has a pretty long history of having shitty matchmaking/ladder systems. It is unfortunate.

Still never seen anyone else in the rerolled channel. On an unrelated note, I decided to do a 24 hour HotS stream today, since my stream will probably be all Hearthstone all the time starting next week. Twitch.tv/cavalierguest if anyone wants to drop in. I'll be grinding HL basically the whole...

If you double owned heroes (from buying with gold and buying a bundle) the refund went through. I have so much gold now.

If we could get 5 people together who want to try fun comps in team league, that'd be interesting. I'm interested in seeing an Abathur+Kharazim thing. Increased attack speed+heal every third hit, stuff like that.

Visual bug, doesn't show up at the end of game, does add to your gold. Unless you aren't getting gold, in which case that is a bug that isn't known.

So so far every time I have seen a Monk build for damage, that team loses. Makes HL awkward when someone picks Monk and you have to make sure they are actually going to support.

Fuck man, didn't you read Animal Farm? Wings count as legs!

Pho broth freezes well, if you make a huge batch you can just thaw as needed. I started out with the food labs guideThe Food Lab: How To Make Traditional Vietnamese Pho | Serious Eatsand went from there.

If you can code and are being interviewed by coders, they will not give a shit what your training is like. All of those people know tons of good coders who learned by fucking around on their own, sometimes since they were kids. If you can code and are being interviewed by someone who does not...

The problem with Abathur is he is basically a support. If the team doesn't play with him, he sucks. If he actually sucks, he sucks. He has twice as many ways to be bad as a Warrior or an Assassin. I played him to 5 today for the gold and it was pretty bad. Bearing in mind I played him quite a...

The USC institute of longevity actually has done fairly large studies on real people that indicate fasting can have some benefits... but then recently they developed a five day a month diet that, according to them, mimics all of the positive effects with none of the potential downsides. So if...

Watching tournaments, the team draft meta is so much more interesting then HL ends up being. Double Warrior. All Specialists for damage, no Assassins. HL you pretty much take the standard comp over and over because anything else requires your team to think to much.

Less. The long cook times on beef (up to 72 hours) are intended for cuts with connective tissue that needs to be gelatinized. London broil is lean, but has no connective tissue. I'll recommend the "wet-aging" process I posted earlier for it though, as it can have tough fibers. ~1-2 hours at 103...

Those are both good for you. Eggs in the morning are an appetite suppressant and butter is straight up good for you. The French consume more per capita than anyone and have one of the lowest incidences of heart disease and obesity. The difference between what Congress decided to say is healthy...

People will yell at you no matter what you pick. Bitching about the map, the comp, counter picks, etc.
