    DOTA 2

    Secret is very polarizing. They've got rabid fans and **lots** of haters. I'm not sure but I'd bet more of the EHome love was due to TS hate.

    DOTA 2

    Well, they are not making it easy on themselves. EDIT: Nice composure on Ehome there, they could completely have given up on that one early. Hell of a turn around.

    Stream still fine here... (Col not so much)

    I almost feel bad for the panel guys. This wasn't really what they signed up for!

    DOTA 2

    Well, this should be an interesting match!

    DOTA 2

    Yeah, they should think about doing something about him... I think they are still good though. (Edit: I was completely wrong of course.)

    Hearthstone

    We'll see. I think it is the only card I've seen so far that I think *will* get play. Well, not really as Druid still isn't good enough but if it was...

    Hearthstone

    Minor nerf to MCT and Shredder I guess? Still, pretty damned good if you can silence it (or even not... Druids run a lot of 4-drops) but I wonder how it'll get used. Strong rare, looks like it should be an epic even. Shame it is Druid only.

    Disgaea style pc games?

    I like the King's Bounty games (although not sure why...) but I wouldn't say they are too similar to the Disgaea series. They've no humor, plot or honestly, challenge really. Still, oddly fun.

    Hearthstone

    It's horrible and will be played in zero decks really. It's Assassinate Jr and even useless against divine shield or 9+ health and so on. Make it deal 8 damage to a minion, draw a card for 6 and it might see play.

    Hearthstone

    Yeah, it's just not enough. Demonfire is actually a great card and still isn't good enough to play outside of some wonky Maly versions.

    DOTA 2

    Pretty good game too! Navi actually doing well against Secret for the moment. (EDIT: OK, not so much...)

    DOTA 2

    Winter is pretty damned great really. The kid is clever. I also like Synd but I can see how he might irritate some. Some great games yesterday and today. Should be a fun tournie.

    Those Asians

    Protip: It is always Korea if there's K-Pop involved. Not Best Korea but still, Korea.

    Hearthstone

    Hey, this silly brawl has actually grown on me! I'm split between my Rogue and (weirdly) Pally decks but both are kinda fun. I think the Paladin one might even be the best of the lot.

    Ex Machina

    Not a bad movie at all actually. Didn't think I'd like it and it certainly wasn't completely perfect but hell, it was fun! Well worth a watch.

    Reddit is on fire

    Now *that* is fucking idiotic. The logo is horrible too!

    Hearthstone

    That was seriously idiotic. I mean, not just bad design but clueless to the point of being embarrassing.

    Hearthstone

    It is still such a huge compromise but I've finally come to terms with it. The game is slow enough as it is!

    Hearthstone

    Yeah, many a run has been fucked by a random Doom, Cho or even sheep.

    Hearthstone

    Freeze mage is definitely powerful but I'd give the edge to druid at the moment. Hard to call but seriously, Tree is just silly.

    Hearthstone

    Stupid HS stack... summons the damned minion before twisting nether goes off. Amusingly it was a Sneed's but still!

    China suffers worst wheat harvest in 55 years

    Not a big deal really. Most investors consider the Yuan to be artificially suppressed anyhow so an actual market fuckup will just be bringing it down closer to its book value.

    What did you just read?

    I'm still pissed that Banks is dead. Best of the modern generation at worldbuilding without any question.

    Hearthstone

    Not going to lie, don't think I'd get near 12 with that deck. It's decent but not enough amazing cards to get me thinking full wins.

    Hearthstone

    Ha! Three (I shit you not) Maexxna and one Malorne out of six spiders. Wasn't even close.

    Hearthstone

    Yeah, the super-random element makes it a bit silly. You could try to predict which class over a thousand runs would win most (I'm betting Mage/Hunter but really, could be any of them) but there's little point. Just pick one and get your win and pack quick enough.

    Hannibal

    That quote (Fedor's) seems a little odd. Just watched seasons one and two on Canadian Netflix. I'm sure the deals are going to be different for Canadian and American rights of course but still, a bit weird.

    Hearthstone

    Quite possibly. At least that's what I'd wager, if they even do make a change.

    Greece - A New Hope

    Well, oil isn't back to $USD100+ but it has recovered quite a bit and especially so given the relative strength of the American dollar. Russia was proper fucked if oil stayed in the thirties or went to the teens as some predicted but in the sixties all the old production is quite viable. They'd...

    Ugh, that's an option of course but I avoid doing any 40g quests if I can!

    Batman: Arkham Knight

    Yeah, it gave me an excellent excuse for the new graphics card as well! I probably would have waited on Batman for a steam sale but I was definitely buying witcher 3 day one anyhow.

    Hearthstone

    Yeah, only played it for a bit here myself. It isn't the BM though but that every Timmy the Tactician seems to want to go to the rope trying to churn through the possible permutations that a few fucking bananas have added.

    Hearthstone

    Sorta freeze mage wins for me easily enough. FW+ManaWurms+many spells is strong.

    Hearthstone

    The issue with Patron isn't the Patrons exactly but they are a big part of it. Basically, you need to play around too many win conditions from your opponent and it sure as hell doesn't help that you can't instantly identify Control, Dragon/Crazian and Patron from one another. It makes it easier...

    Greece - A New Hope

    Didn't look very far I suppose. Wikipedia: "The term troika has been widely used in Greece and Cyprus (Greek: ??????),[1][2] Ireland,[3] Portugal[4] and Spain[5] to refer to the presence of the European Commission, European Central Bank, and International Monetary Fund in these countries since...

    DOTA 2

    Not great certainly and I think most would say not good. TI5 preview? I'd be happy if it were (as would Valve be) but I wouldn't bet on it. Lots of other talent out there too.

    DOTA 2

    This should be fun! Can't blame EG for wanting to roll the dice though.

    DOTA 2

    Well, then again... sometimes Secret does make the other team look like noobs. Good draft, EZy execution. To be fair to Sumail, that's how it goes with Storm often. A win-more hero sometimes.

    Hearthstone

    1-1 as Rag, got my pack and can't see playing it again. If you can stay moderately healthy until Sulfuras is gone then it isn't too bad really. (EDIT: Went back for two more. Now 2-1Rag and 1-0Nef. The decks are janky and the players suck though.) I'd take Nef every time given the choice...
