    Heroes of the Storm

    I played a crap ton of Nova yesterday and kept missing my Snipes. Part of my issue though is that I try to W then Q as quickly as I can. But there's a casting time / delay between how fast you can use the two abilities. I found being deliberate between casting the two makes your Snipes land more...

    True, but at least he takes out a Jedi and that beast thing before dying.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Finished my viewing of eps 1-6, but was wondering how Luke suddenly became a Jedi between 5 and 6. It felt like there was no time skip between leaving Cloud City / getting a new arm at the end of 5 and then rescuing Han at Jabba's palace as the first act in 6. Luke just kinda shows up and is...

    I wouldn't go so far as to say that he was forced into it. The 3D was really subtle, but it brought out a lot of depth for things like the dog fighting scenes and the forest scenes.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I'm definitely in the same camp as the 20-somethings at your work. Although I'm going through the other 6 movies in order now (finished 1-4, 5-6 tomorrow night) after seeing TFA on Sunday. And having just watched 4 last night in an HD remaster, you can see the shabbiness of some of the...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Not an astronomer nor physicist here, but to nitpick on that line of thought, I'd think that absorbing your entire local star within a planet (which presumably has a smaller radius than the original star) would be a great way to make a black hole or at least a supernova / neutron star. Also, I'd...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I've seen the term Mary Sue thrown around here a lot and have no idea what that's really supposed to mean. TV Tropes says it's derogatory term for someone trying to insert themselves into a fanfic scenario. But Rey is the main character and those are her character traits and explanations for her...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Another general Star Wars question. I was under the impression that you had to be a force user to ignite a lightsaber. Is that true or is that just a point I'm remembering from Spaceballs (I see your Schwartz is as big as mine...)? Just wondering if Finn has the potential to follow after Rey...

    Hearthstone

    I wouldn't doubt that they're working on a console version. But they probably need to get a new UI working first. Also, I'd assume that they're working to get connectivity between Battle.net and the console networks. It's probably the limiting factor as that seems like it's be harder to do than...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Really enjoyed this movie. I'm not a huge Star Ward nerd and haven't seen the original trilogy since watching them on tv a decade or so ago. Lots of friends hyped it up though, so we saw it yesterday and thought it was great. I didn't mind turning the planet into a Death Star bc it seemed...

    Looked back through my pictures from Paris, and I was misremembering. I don't think these are technically aspics, but thinking about aspics made me think of this picture. When I was walking by these, the thought of formed meat sitting out at room temperature all day was what made me gag. Also, I...

    The veggie aspics don't look that bad since you can see what it is. Even the boiled egg still looks like a boiled egg. Its the meat ones that make me want to hurl, they look worse than dog food. I remember walking around Paris and seeing a shit ton of meat aspics in the windows, as if that's...

    Hearthstone

    That seems like a pretty awesome combo for zoo. Not hard to get 4 minions on board by 7 mana and then 8 damage from the hand + a 3/4 and 4/4. If it's any consolation, it's a fairly unlikely scenario since they're both legendaries? Which is probably why you're raging...

    That's really cool. I love how the leaves look against bark in IR. No offense, but I started chuckling when the music swelled and it switched to shots of geese going into the water and swimming away. As if the geese were swimming off to hell or something. But really, it was just a bunch of...

    Tomb Spider discovering only beasts is pretty great value. I don't think I've ever had a completely shit draw from it. I'd imagine Gorillabot would work the same way for mechs, except that it has the requirement of having a mech in play already. It's interesting though, both are 4 mana...

    Not as hardcore as you all, but haven't seen anyone mention Beast Druid. I threw together a midrange tempo deck over the weekend. Mounted Raptor is great for the early game. Tomb Spider and Jeweled Scarab help you curve out in the mid game. And Wild Walker and Savage Combatant, while not new for...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    There was just a time skip when the whole scene should have been real time. They had less than a minute to escape, but the scene went from inside the alien world to a hundred yards away at the pod in the span of a few seconds. Remember that Coulson jumped through one of the towers / castle...

    Haven't done the recipe myself, but it's one egg yolk to a whole stick of butter that you heat up to the point where it's past bubbling. So I'm guessing that's enough heat. Definitely going to be one of the first things I make with a stick blender though.

    We ordered a stick blender for Christmas over Thanksgiving week, but the stupid thing has to sit under our tree so I have something to open. Made a soup this week and glared at the box as I scooped it into our blender.

    Gail was in the second episode walking around with Emeril. Speaking of, last time he was a judge, he didn't have very great commentary. I kinda just attributed it to the guy getting older and looking tired, but he seemed be better this past episode though.

    Dream Theater - The Astonishing

    This seems like a crazy ambitious project from DT: Dream Theater: The Astonishing Track list has 34 songs split over two acts with a cast of chars and a map to go with it. (Posting from my phone, so may update later)

    Heroes of the Storm

    Ohh, leveling up outside the game. It kinda makes sense since they are different chars with different talents; but that is kinda weird on the surface. Looked it up bc I was wondering, but Cho'Gal can only be picked in a double slot in HL (so not first or last pick). Both players need to...

    How do they level up separately? The whole team levels up at the same rate. Unless you mean they have separate talents?

    I have a Lodge skillet and another one whose name I can't remember. Honestly, I like the other one better, but only for a silly reason: the Lodge has sharp edges. Doesn't affect the cooking what so ever as they're both functionally the same, but for some reason the Lodge bothers me and I always...

    Seems like the dragon decks benefit a lot from Brann. He might be slow, but at least dragon decks tend to make it to 10 mana and the dragon synergy cards tend to be 3-6 mana. 12/12 Drakonid Crushers, extra card draw on Azure Drake, 4/6 Blackwing Technicians, 6 damage Blackwing Corruptors, 4/6...
