    I've had some good success with the bogsham version. Not actually sure I'd make the trades you did though as the extra bog, stormcrack and faceless are pretty potent.

    Hearthstone

    This newish version of OTK Warrior (Worg) is actually pretty fucking hilarious. So many tools in the toolbox plus camo from all the other viable Warrior decks have made a monster. Expect a nerf to Charge! eventually, as predicted many months ago.

    Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius

    This game is actually pretty fun! Just starting out and didn't have a ton of patience for rerolling but have (three star versions) of Kefka, Vaan, Cecil and Krile. Running Magi Terra for the moment but no idea what I'll eventually use in that slot. Kinda need a dedicated healer I feel like but I...

    Oh hey, I wouldn't go so far as to say obvious. Good on ya for coming up with the concept independently.

    What the hell do you have against photosynthesis? It's one of the cooler processes that nature ever came up with.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    The really funny part is that farmers fucking love Monsanto (and DuPont etc) because they make them more money. Oh, they'll bitch about them just like any corporation bitches about its suppliers but overall there's lots of love there. I mean, the whole GMO business really just baffles me. The...

    Hearthstone

    Many streamers have shown though that arena strategy is a very, very real thing, it's just that it seems terribly counterintuitive to many people and myself included. I played MtG, although only in the early years and am generally quite good at strategic card games. Still, I've got I think 4 or...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Yeah, not really seeing anything I want right now but that's mostly because I've still got dozens of titles to play when I get the time. If I see a great RPG or something then I might pick it up but for most of this stuff even 40% off doesn't make it a must-buy-now thing.

    Faeria - Strategy TCG

    I gave it a go on the free weekend (which amuses, given that it'll be free/PtW eventually) and I guess I'm just not sold. Their take on lands is not bad and the wells and tiles thing might have a little potential too I suppose but I'm still not sure that I *like* the tweaks. It is worth...

    Hearthstone

    Pirate Warrior right now isn't really a Pirate deck, it's a face (mostly) weapon deck. The pirates are just there to buff weapons and add to face damage while being roughly vanilla minions. It's actually a pretty successful deck (33-24 with it) in the present meta but if you don't have a...

    TeamViewer Hacked

    In windows you can set up your security policies pretty much however you like. People be lazy though so often access to one thing will give you access to many. For stuff like this breach they'll likely get nothing from most boxes but since they can likely rip through hundreds an hour, they will...

    Hearthstone

    Yeah, the totem-heavy midrange Shaman is actually a pretty fun deck. There are some strategic decisions to be made and a bit of flexibility which I kinda enjoy. Plus, there's nothing more annoying than decks where you can pretty much call the game from the mulligan. The RNG element of totems...

    I love Seagull's twitch and the guy obviously knows what he is about. Still though, he and the team (much love to Gods too) aren't really much ahead of the curve at this point if at all. They got fucking wrecked in scrims the one time they streamed them and I'm thinking they might even be a...

    Hearthstone

    Not sold on the Defender or Bashes myself but if it's working for ya then great! Still, I also like to find room for Sylv and/or Harrison in this meta. I do agree that C'Thun War outperforms T-3 from my results either way, although it's not a regular in my rotation.

    Overwatch

    I'm not terribly interested in OW but I completely agree with the recommend. Seagull doesn't always play Gengi but when he does, it's a work of art. It's like watching Dota2 gods in terms of "huh, I *could* do that!" when of course you can't. Still, always nice to have something to strive for.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    He certainly was trying to show how absurd and counterintuitive this interpretation would be. The problem is, it agrees with observed behavior so what can you do? Science isn't about the Universe being how we'd like it to be or even really about it making sense. It's about discovering what makes...

    Ha! I don't know if I've seen Harris' video a while back and forgot about it or what but I did pick his example city and it kinda creeped me out for a moment.

    The Free Will Thread

    I think it is quite likely that free will is completely an illusion. I also think that it doesn't matter even a little bit if that is true or not. It's like the simulated universe arguments or head-in-a-box stuff. They may or may not be the *actual reality* but who cares? If it doesn't impact...

    Ok, it might not be new but Mirror Image + Shifter is all kinds of fun for the Brawl. Not *good* but hella fun.

    I think my favorite "let's end the game turn one or two" for the brawl is innervate + Trog. They either play spells or they don't!

    I thought it was incredibly funny but then again, I grew up in Ontario and have been to many a hick town there. Some things never change! I don't know how funny people will find it in general though but I enjoyed.

    Hearthstone

    I'm calling it now. This is the meta of zoo andridiculously slow crafted specifically to do so control. I know, so brave! Still, I think that tempo and midrange may well have new tools and be just fine *in any other meta* but are just going to get fucking ruined without the staples like belch...

    Hearthstone

    Pfft. We all called Shammie as broken early on! Many also thought zoo/aggro would rule the day, ignoring the morons that thought the push for 10 mana minions would take. Zoo is just plain fucking broken right now. I'm pleased in a sick sort of way but seriously... a completely unrefined...

    Hearthstone

    Yeah, I'm thinking that this one gets patched pretty quickly. I mean, actuallyusingthis bug in a helpful way is not exactly the easiest thing but the salt if you pull it off would be epic. Besides, the both on choose card is interesting anyhow so it's not like a wasted craft.

    Just got the table run on me by Weapon Warrior with him playing zero minions and clearing none of mine. Now, he got a perfect starting hand and I had no taunts (and would have had lethal turn six) but still, I think I'm going to hate that deck. Just face damage every turn is fucking annoying...

    Hearthstone

    Early impressions have me happy. There are a LOT of viable deck options so far and refining them should be fun! Noz is my MVP so far as I just love the card. In a silence low meta, DRs are strong and he doesn't need to pull back a bunch to change a game. Not sure he's super great but don't...

    Just popped a few when I got in. 3 for 53 (shifter, rag, deathwing) which is not too bad I guess. Kinda glad I got a shifter in there as I'd never craft it but might try to fuck around with it since it's here. I've still got plenty of dust to craft what I need and ample old legendaries and...

    OK. I am now extremely drunk. I'm playing essentially random old decks now and having a shitload of fun doing so. I fall back on Secret Pal but Druid is by far the most fun. AggroSham is a staple since I can barely see at this point. I've not won a single game with Dreads and I actually...

    Hearthstone

    I won't miss this meta but I won't lie, it provided a hell of a lot of salt and even my own frustration amuses the hell out of me. The swings between possible 1-3 mana minions was just so goddamned severe as to be amusing. Besides, although courses are open here for golf, the conditions aren't...

    DOTA 2

    Well, perhaps there's some convergence here. I know the term on point to mean that guy on a foot patrol that is in the lead, sure. Still, I went to an English school as a kid and "on point" certainlydoesmean executing a task with extreme precision.

    DOTA 2

    On point (as in, on the money) comes from "en pointe" in ballet and has been around for a very long time. In legal circles it goes back to the 1930s as "on point" and the 1700s as "in point".

    Hm. That's actually an interesting point. Are polyed/hexed/whatever cards exiled or do they go into the owner's stack/graveyard/whatever-HS-calls-it? I *think* they are exiled effectively (probably just by changing the card ID to the sheep one or whatever), which is interesting actually if so.
