    Sounds like a good knife to me. Like someone else said above, getting a Shun (or any knife capable of holding an edge), really teaches you to respect it and use proper technique or else you'll get cut up.

    Hearthstone

    Blessing of Might is persistent vs Abusive (~13 minutes in video). He's often trying to race faster decks down, so Might on a shielded minion (Minibot or through Coghammer) requires either a silence or two minions to burn.

    Heroes of the Storm

    It's pretty scary what a good Illidan can do with support. Of course he has Rehgar and Tassadar for ancestral + shields, but the opposing team has Brightwing and Tyrande for poly/stun/hunter's mark, yet Fan still tears them apart (crappy audio)

    I'd guess Skye will probably start by fighting alongside the Inhumans (hence the Skye vs May fight that was teased) but will likely go back to Shield by the end of the finale. Setting up for Shield vs Inhumans for next season.

    Nope. You have 3 Zerg (Kerrigan, Zagara, Abathur). Soon you'll have 5 elves to match the roster. Though if you want to break it down more, 3 Night Elves (Malfurion, Tyrande, Illidan), and 1 Undead Blood Elf (Sylvanas), and 1 living Blood Elf (Kael'Thas). Hell, there are even 4 dwarves. Needs...

    I don't have one, but I've seen them use them at Chipotle when dicing grilled chicken. Definitely seems like it would slow you down for home use, but if you're doing something fairly repetitive like chopping 40 grilled chicken thighs, I could see it being helpful from both a safety and a speed...

    Interesting analysis at the end of this StrifeCro video: Control > Aggro > Midrange > Control. Versus Magic, where you want to be a little bigger or a lot smaller than your opponent. In Hearthstone, you want to be faster or a lot slower. The deck itself is pretty cool too. Dragon Pally, but...

    Hearthstone

    Dragon Paladin is so good. Dragon cards have such good value. The only thing is I'm always hesitant to play Hungry Dragon (gives your opponent a 1 mana minion) and he becomes a win-more card. But on the other hand, it gives me a card to keep in hand to act as an activator for Blackwing...

    Smartwatches / Fitness Trackers

    If you wear a smartwatch in an area that prohibits it, you're essentially putting your job at risk. Why put your job at risk for a vanity item? Or you could take it off before going in there. Or just not buy a smartwatch. Edit: if I sound salty, it's not personal. I'm in the same boat

    In general, don't pick a card that requires synergy with the expectation that you'll find that synergy card. i.e. don't pick Blastmage if you don't already have Mechs in your deck.

    If you have a lighter laptop, I could see a tablet being superfluous. My wife has a Macbook Air and an iPad and just does all her internetting on the Air. Whereas I have a desktop and an iPad and use the iPad 98% of the time.

    Sure it's cheap, but a screen protector sounds stupid for a smartwatch. Yes, it's a functional piece of technology that you wear and is likely to get banged on things, but any designer should've considered that when making the case and glass. Even if we're talking regular watches, I would expect...

    Facebook isn't that much data, but autoplaying videos and the like can add up, I guess. If you're curious, go to Settings => Cellular and you can see a breakdown of data usage by app. Unfortunately it's just cumulative, so you'll have to manually reset the statistics to get an idea of which...

    Exactly. A whole lot of downsides just to chase a Hydra guy who's been experimenting on Inhumans on the off chance he has info that can help them find Skye?

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

    I understand the need to move the story forward, but the entire premise of Coulson going to Ward to get Hydra seemed pretty stupid to me. If at the end of the episode you're going to go back to "Real Shield" anyways, why pull a risky play like that?

    I've just been running two groups: IV and VII. Common to both are Rydia and heals (currently Aerith who has great Mind stats, just no group heal like White Mage). Kain, and Cecil x2 for IV (high 20s). Tifa, Sephiroth, and Cloud for VII. My VII group has higher levels (low 30s), so I'll bring...

    Midrange Pally dragon deck feels pretty solid. Dragon Consort, Azure Drake, Twilight Drake, Hammer, Cons, a few classic legendary dragons and some early game like Minibot. Dragon Technician helps curve out the early game too as a 3 mana 3/5. Only rank 15, but had a nice 5 win streak for my daily

    I'd guess it's bc of Heroes of the Dorm, college people looking to get better at the game through watching streams? I personally haven't been playing or watching much in the past 2 weeks, but the nice thing about this game (well, any multiplayer game, really) is that I can just hop in whenever.

    I started doing the defend strat, but then started worrying about the number of turns and damage taken grades, so I force quit and redid with full DPS. No issues getting him down and mastering it.
