    Zoo lock is probably the most versatile shell there is right now. Expect to see it out in large numbers whenever new cards are added. The meta is going to be zoo heavy but otherwise topsy turvy for a few weeks. I mean this will all seriousness, enjoy the ride.

    What ladder level are you guys at? I'm in the 5-7 range (depending on good/bad streaks), but there is just too much zoo out now for coldlight rogue. Thinking of giving priest a run, but I need to first get over the idea that laddering with priest is always bad.

    Naxx is out, when do we start? Or are we waiting for more wings?

    Rerolled Hearthstone Tournament #4

    To me, losing the first game and not getting to counter-pick the winner puts the person who lost the first game at an even larger disadvantage.

    Rerolled Hearthstone Tournament #4

    I would be happy with anything besides single elim. Round robin with the amount of entries we had last time would probably take too long though? Double elim or swiss are both good for me. Looking forward to it!

    Hearthstone

    I only have to input one number per game with the one I use, but I'm not tracking wins per player one/two side, which I guess I ought to. But I heard hearthstonetracker doesn't track those right anyway.

    All jokes aside, I actually just use excel. I've heard mixed things about hearthstone tracker, so I just whipped up a spreadsheet. /nerd class breakdown from my last 250 games: Class # Played % of Total Warlock 75 29.76% Druid 45 17.86% Rogue 32 12.70% Warrior 19 7.54%...

    Hearthstone

    It's not just that. A lot of the people who bitch about a certain deck/decks aren't even serious enough to track their matches, so are just bitching without any real data. Yeah sure, Zoo gives the deck I'm laddering with right now (coldlight rogue) a hard time (~25% win rate). On the surface...

    Hearthstone

    To me, any version of double combo probably would get better results than with that deck. Or if you're going to stay with tempo, I'd optimize things more. Druids--especially if you run 2 x wild growth/2 x innervate--don't really need one drops. You can get to mid game much faster than anyone...

    Tool might eventually release a new album someday

    It's probably Adam Jones more than Maynard honestly. He's big into the visual appeal of album packaging. He's old school enough where he remembers sitting down with a big record sleeve. I get it.

    Dreamhack is kind of always been a mixed-bag in competitive gaming. It has done well (I think?) RTS/MOBAs. Not so much with everything else. It's barely even considered a major in the FGC. It's not a shock they did a bad job with HS. It's in the best interests of the community that we just...

    You can lead a scrub to water, but it doesn't mean they'll drink it, I guess. Objectively speaking, there are good things and bad things about players with your attitude. On one hand, I'm glad that there are a lot of angry scrubs playing card games. They tilt and play badly for no logical...

    Hearthstone

    Your local card shop are a bunch of scrubs. You should find good people to play with. If you play with baddies with an anti-competitive attitude, you're limiting yourself. He's an article (written 12 years ago, for fuck's sake) summing up why anti-netdeck neckbeards are fucking retarded...

    When you call people fags for netdecking, there is basically only one conclusion we can jump to.
  24. Alexzander

    Hearthstone

    If you're actually interested it getting good at card games, you really need to shed the scrub mentality. Net decking is a healthy, important part of any CCG/TCG. You can ignore the meta all you want, just don't complain when you have bad results with your unique snowflake deck.

    How does that work with a board clear? Does the secret just affect a random removed creature?

    Not exactly. It depends on your goals in game, how you want to spend your time, etc, but 3 wins is breaking even. You get the odd 50g reward from 2 wins too.

    Hearthstone

    That's basically the jist of it. Tazdingos/cleave/harrison jones/pyromancers are good subs as well depending on what you're seeing most while laddering or lacking some of the legendaries. I'd argue Ysera is the least important of them. I'd also say at least grommash/rag/alex is necessary to...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I think I see where you're coming from now. The thing is, college drop outs wouldn't be making cool stuff like the Oculus Rift without published, peer-reviewed contributions made made by the likes of Bohr and his peers. Mistakes and misunderstandings are made on the path of progress, and the...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Theoretical physicists and engineers, or inventors if you'd rather, are quite different animals. Learning the mathematics required to work in the field of astrophysics is a significant commitment of both time and intellectual resources. Many (admittedly awesome) inventions are developed simply...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    At least the mathematics work with string theory. It might not falsifiable at our current level of technology and might well be wrong, but the mathematics that are coming out of continued research in the field could likely be useful elsewhere.

    That's also part of why I like watching hearthstone. I'm still pretty bad, so there is a bunch for me to learn from watching better players still.

    It really just depends on your taste in games I think. There is no way I'd suffer through a LoL tournament stream. I mean, LoL is tedious enough to play... to watch? You're fucking kidding me. But obviously a lot of people disagree with me on that. Different strokes for different folks and all.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It really seems like pseudoscience, honestly. If one were able to dethrone general relativity, they would not have to rely on youtube vids and self-publishing to get the word out. Seriously, do a quick search about the guy.

    I'd approach that hypothesis with trepidation. His youtube page has a bunch of rants about the papacy of the scientific community--behavior usually reserved for alternative medicine gurus and other charlatans. edit: yeah, after a brief search, I found his "credentials". Gavin Wince |...
