    Jerle Committed Suicide Today

    That sucks. Jerle isn't exactly someone I've known (meh, since noows I think but whatever, not like I really know any of you fucks) but suicide is shitty any way you look at it. At this point I'm just hoping it isn't me... I've got five in my personal space and a few outside that. People...

    Server maintenance that requires downtime is bullshit since '97 if you have any money. They have money.

    Legend of Grimrock 2

    Loved the first one (as I did Legacy and Divinity for that matter) and am more than willing to pay up for the title. Hell, I got the initial offering for something like $5 so I almost feel like I owe them a bit more.

    Anti-Gothik (Heroic) Warrior Deck : hearthstoneshould work. I did it with a cobbled together huntard deck but it took me five or six tries iirc.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    It's a crying shame I can't get this for the PC. I'm old. I just can't adapt (I've tried) to shooters using a pad. I'm a fucking genius with esdf+mouse but pure scrub otherwise and old enough to be sad when I can't compete. Borderlands is, perhaps, more my speed. That and I'm still looking...

    Hearthstone

    Two health is fuck all though. At five mana it would be better as a 1/5 than a 3/2. If it is intended as a same-turn play with UTH then that's fine but seriously, it isn't going to work for 5 mana.

    Smartphones

    I know that all the major players desperately *want* smart watches to be the next big thing but I still don't see it. I'm both a watch guy and a gadget lover and I can't imagine ever getting one. It's a shitty-looking watch (yes, watches essentially are guy jewellery but I'm fine with that)...

    Hearthstone

    I suppose it depends on your playstyle too. I never prioritize consecrates personally but truesilvers generally define how well the deck will do for me.

    They want more scoring through the pass, same as always. The bullshit calls should calm down week 3 or so though I hope. It's pretty fucking pathetic.

    Hearthstone

    Yeah, the stack in Hearthstone is mysterious at best. At least in MtG it is exceptionally Byzantine (to the point where I shit you not but I've as a multi decade programmer argued with real world lawyers over how to interpret certain rules...) but it is also absolutely clear once you wade...

    Hearthstone

    I'm amazed it is only that. Then again, the formats that it is legal in don't exactly favor the effect. Not that card values reflect the real use by any means. Fuck, I think I'd be amused to have a Black Lotus framed on my wall for far less than what "real art" costs. On that note, if...

    Robin Williams found dead

    He was batshit crazy, which is where so much of his comic genius came from. Even well past his drug-fuelled days it was pretty obvious he was battling demons in terms of mania and depression. Shame the depression won out but hey, I'll never know what troubles the man had in his private life...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    I'd agree there. Fucking *fantastic* game but I felt like they left the end game accessible to non min-maxers and while that's cool and all... it isn't really the spirit of old-school RPGs. Let infinite grinding come back and give the option of min-maxing and/or grinding to get through the...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It is another ridiculous claim at this point. Yeah, I say that every time but that's because it is true pretty much every time. Someone wants grant money or VC or whatever and amusingly, they'll probably get some.

    Hearthstone

    You know what? Not giving twenty bones. I already spent 20-30 early on just because hey, why not and honestly, fair enough! The value Blizzard has given me over the years is immense, as long as I don't count losses from my WoW raiding days. On that count Pardo owes me millions though so fuck...

    Philip Seymour Hoffman Found Dead

    I wouldn't say that it is because they can't think for themselves but I sure agree that the chinese are better off with their flavor of communist capitalism. Beats the shit out of Indian "democracy" any day when you've got a billion people to herd around.

    Hearthstone

    I decided a while ago just to stick with the default card back no matter what. Still, a little challenge is fun but I'm not sure there's enough of that here to be entertaining. Can't see shelling out $20 for the rest of Naxx and honestly, I'm more thinking that I'm done with HS for the...

    Hearthstone

    I should note at some point, I gifted ~$40 back when in packs but hey, times were heady right? I figure I've paid mine. (*translation being, not a chance I be giving money for a wing a week that takes me twenty minutes to clear.) Son?!~

    Hearthstone

    He's stupid. Play it a few times and he'll play his crappy cards turns one to three eventually and make it easy. He's beatable if he shits out the 4/4 every turn but not if he gets a perfect draw to go with it.

    Hearthstone

    Same. I didn't even pre-set any decks, just used a random ladder one. Now, heroic looks harder to say the least but good card draw (patience) should be enough.

    DOTA 2

    That's the thing though, I think they had a great chance to win that game *without* the rosh attempt. You never want to say you've won with the draft but damn if they were not it good shape.

    ffs c9, no way you lose that match... (and yes, after that draft it was idiotic to try L1 rosh)

    Hearthstone

    To be fair, aggro in MTG is **completely** different than aggro in HS. The mechanics alone ensure that. As long as the only blockers are taunts and there is no blocker's choice *and* no instants or responses, I have to think aggression will be over-valued in HS.

    DOTA 2

    Well, more levels never hurts but being richer than hell is a good way to overcome that deficit. Now, I don't know if naga is really unbalanced or not but it's definitely a hero that promotes some shitty games. Sometimes some awesome ones too but I think'll she'll get a nerf just because most...

    I think the prize split is about perfect. Hell, I'd even put a full 50% to winners. You *really* want the top talent to want to WIN. No, not place well, not earn a living but motherfucking win the damned thing. It's hard to translate a professional trophy's value into eSports so you just...

    My big question though: Is it good to great single-player? I've five billion games waiting that are MPx variants. Hell, plus a few RPG singles (eg MMX-Legacy) still unplayed. I like the idea of the game and sure don't mind the cost even off sale but what is it and how does it play? I've...
