I've found that Aggro Shaman plays very similar to the old Hyper Aggro Mage deck. You mulligan very hard for cheap minions and spam them out. However around turn 5 or 6 youre going to lose control of the the board entirely and just focus on burning your opponent down with direct damage to the...

Played around with Entomb a bit to finish a Priest daily. First of all, Priests aren't in a very good state right now. They're still as reactive as ever and still rely too much on synergy and combos to make impact plays. With that said I love Entomb. Against a RenoLock I stole a Boom and...

I've only got 100 Mythril at the moment and 8 dungeons to complete. I figure I'll have enough to do 3 pulls on the SSB Celebration if I choose. I've got the holy trinity covered: Sentinel Grimoire, Lullaby Rod for my group heal and Vega 42's for Shellga + Hastega. So my plan is to go after...

That was an absolutely embarrassing loss by the Browns. Nobody expected them to win but that was a shit show even with extremely low expectations. Now we just need the Titans to hang in and win.

Browns are hilariously bad.

I tweaked my foot on the treadmill a couple of days ago so I need to stay off of it and let it heal. I'm pretty sure it's a small bone bruise from really bad, old, shoes. I picked up a better pair of actual running shoes so that should help once I give my foot a chance to recover. It sucks...

I'm so glad that Paladin got Keeper of Uldaman because they were really hurting for good cards. I've been playing Mid-Range Paladin for a bit and it's just so strong. The value on Paladin cards is just unreal and they are so hard to remove efficiently. And nothing is better than hitting a...

There was a big patch today (mostly bug fixes and background stuff) so that's probably causing a lot of the issues.

What's a good, inexpensive, shoe for the treadmill? I'm m trying to do 2 to 4 miles a day but I really need better shoes for it. We're heading into winter in Cleveland so it's not as easy to do laps around the neighborhood.

Pulled the trigger on Final Fantasy Type-0. I do have other things on my backlog but I figured $20 was a good enough price.

Steiner's not too bad. He's very tanky and can use spellblades. Personally I really like spellblades.

Final Fantasy Type-0? Worth it for $20 on Amazon?

I sat down and watched all the episodes over the weekend. It's a cute show and I like it. Calista Flockhart is awesome and Melissa Benoist pulls off the cute, nerdy, girl really well.

Sorry bro. I feel for you. Kidney Stones are pure evil. If anyone ever was looking for proof that Satan exists one only has to look at kidney stones for the answer. You know the drill. Just keep up with your liquids and pray that it finishes the "magical journey" quickly. The worst part...

I finally fired up Tales of Zestiria. I'm only a couple of hours in (just became the Shepherd) but so far I'm really enjoying it. It seems to have a fairly decent backstory and the game looks fantastic on PS4. I liked Xillia but I kind of had to force myself through Xillia 2. Ludgar just...

I forgot how much fun the end of the month aggro rush is. I feel like I'm playing solitaire. I either draw the correct cards in the correct order or I just lose.

Eiko's Flute is really nice but was redundant for me so I didn't pull on the banner. Don't forget that' Tyro's Sentinel Grimoire is the same thing as Thyrus. In fact it's probably better for you since Eiko is likely to be your primary healer for a long time with her Golem Flute. The big...

There's a Bonus Quest to pick up Garnet. It involves finishing finishing the very first IX Elite dungeon so you'll be able to pick her up at any time once you're strong enough. Like I said in my post above it's a great Relic. Just a bit awkward to use since it's a high MAG staff when most...

You've got two choices right now. As I said in a post above there is going to be a Super Soulbreak series of Banners. If you already have a good assortment of relics and have no problems clearing content you might want to hold out for these. Again most speculation puts this series of banners...

I lost just over 3 lbs this week. Not bad at all with Thanksgiving thrown into the mix. That means I'm down over 13 lbs since starting. My clothes fit much better and I feel a lot better. My wife and I are doing this together and both of our sex drives are way up. Bonus :-)

Picked up the Dishonored Remaster for $15. And Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask for my 3DS. That was it for Black Friday. Kind of a let down this year but there wasn't much out there for me.

I wasn't a big fan of Dark Souls 2 DLC. They figured out that Magic is overpowered so they gave everything extremely high resistance to it. So if you were a sorcery based character the DLC was just one big "fuck you." The bosses also have a really high amount of hitpoints to the point where...

In my opinion save it. We don't know when for sure but a major event is coming up soon called Rift of Recollection. This event lets you go back and get characters and memory crystals you might have missed from earlier. Attached to this event are relic draws referred to as the Super Soulbreak...

I got Paladin Cecil's sword (Mythgraven Blade) and Leon's Golden Armor. I'm pretty happy. I've been complaining for awhile that I haven't gotten a lot of physical damage relics so this was a good pull. The Blade is actually my highest attack weapon (113 attack versus 112 on my Zantetsuken)...

It's still a few months down the road but there is a feature for Orb Conversion in Japan. You can either trade 10 lesser orbs to go up a level or you can trade 1 higher orb to go down a level. So you can trade 10 normal orbs for 1 Greater or you could trade 1 Major orb for 10 Greater. There's...

We took vacation before we knew we'd be buying the cars. As to what was wrong with them a lot simply had to do with age. Mine was 11 years old and hers was 9 years old. Short term it hurts the finances a bit just because of the unexpected expenses but we pull well north of six figures...

We had already budgeted for the monthly payments. It was just the suddenness of two down payments two months apart right after getting back from vacation that caught us off guard.

We normally try and keep a few months of reserves in our savings account but the past few months we took a big hit. We went on vacation and after getting back we both ended up having to buy new vehicles. Had the vehicle thing happened first the vacation wouldn't have happened. Mine was 11...

Man Secret Paladin is still stupid. I just played against a Handlock. 6 cards on turn 4 from Divine Favor? Sure thing and thanks dude! Was one of my easiest wins. His Molten and Mountain Gaints meant nothing when I had a 10/? Challenger and Noble Sacrifices keeping them away from real...

Bahamut (XIII) Elite down with 10 seconds left on the clock. That was an extremely tense fight. XIII is another realm where I don't have a good physical weapon for (like most realms because RNG is RNG). So I went Mage Heavy with Cloud, Yuna, Sazh, Vivi and Rydia. Yuna has Hymn of the...

One of my issues has been the fact that I'm a Government drone and get lots of work from home days (telework). So I roll out of bed, trip over a cat and stumble into the backroom for the whole day. Unless I'm active about it I simply don't ever get up and move around. At least when I'm in the...

I just had a Mech Mage go full Fel Reaver on me while I was playing Mid-Range Paladin. The first one was promptly hit by Peacekeeper. It was still alive when he played the second and I played Truesilver + BGH. That left him with zero cards in his deck and two in hand while I was at 19 health...

My wife and I are both dieting right now and trying to get into better health habits. We want to have kids and her OB GYN said that losing weight would help us out. I'm the typical Accountant / Gamer dude who doesn't exercise nearly as much as I should and could eat better so this is a good...

See the banner in the post above: The way the last Lucky Draws worked was like this. You can only roll on the banner once. But that roll was at a discount. You pulled 11 Relics for 25 Mythril (half off since it's normally 50) or if you're spending real money it's also half the number of...

Heads up. I assume most of you live in the U.S. but just in case... This Friday is Black Friday. Huge sales and is the busiest shopping day of the year. To cash in on the day, DeNA is offering another, one day only, Lucky Draw on Black Friday. So try and get up to 25 Mythril beforehand...

This is my generic setup. Sephiroth is actually a swing character. I've been using Paladin Cecil a lot these days because he has a fantastic set of skills. But this is my "go to" setup that can clear most content and just gets tweaked as needed:

Ruinga is incredibly strong but it takes a lot more to get it to work than Retaliate strategies. Retaliate basically comes down to having one high level melee with retaliate, one good weapon and a bunch of double cuts. That's pretty easy to put together since most of the skills are two and...

I finally finished FF VI on my iPad (first time playing through in like 15 years). The one thing I hate about VI is all of the counter attacks. I poke something with a dagger and then I proceed to get counter attacked for 5 minutes straight. It's not fun beating a boss at full health only to...

Lebron and Blatt are scary this season. They are both laser focused on getting back to the Finals and they are really pushing the Cavs hard. They are really coming down on the team for sloppy play that led to two losses.
