    Hearthstone

    Bouncing Blade with Armorsmith and Acolyte is going to be ridiculous. Also it is instant hard removal if the opponent only has a Rag or something on board. That card is going to be ridiculous in control Warrior.

    Does it bypass taunt if it picks the non-taunt enemy? Would be hilarious.

    Hearthstone

    It is interesting to see the players from different regions playing against each other. There are some rather obvious... not misplays per se, but differences in evaluating which cards are likely to be in the opponent's hand.

    I predict Priest "mech decks" are going to be pretty awesome. Also I'm like 170k dust off of having a complete set of golden cards, I thought I'd have another like 6 months of arena to finish the set and build my gold bank before new cards.

    The money is probably better spent on arena entries if you want to get good at the game, but Zoo is about ~$10 in packs with a little luck and is the cheapest competitive ladder deck. I feel like I should mention that pre-Naxx several streamers got to legend with free-to-play decks (usually...

    Any new cards are good cards at this point. Very tired of the Undertaker meta.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    If you had something that could do that it'd essentially be a kitchen. It'd replace your fridge, microwave, stove, mixer, food processor, oven... pretty much everything wholesale. Put food in every so often. Push buttons, get meals out on demand. There has actually been some work done in this...

    Hearthstone

    You are kind of creating a false dichotomy. I'm not playing Harrison in place of a Sludge Belcher or a Black Knight. You have to imagine playing Harrison in place of the next worst card you'd put in your deck. Is he better than that card? Bearing in mind that since the card is going to be taking...

    Nobuo Uematsu wants to make a 2D Final Fantasy VI-type game

    If that went on Kickstarter it'd get funded so fast.

    Um, so according to that link rank 5 to legend 44% of the people you're playing have weapons (Shamans sometimes don't run Doomhammer, but for the most part this is true). If your argument holds that higher up the ladder more locks are handlock than not (and I agree with it) that numbers goes to...

    I play Harrison in my ladder control Warrior. Never regret it. It allows me to catch up in card draw when Handlocks Jaraxxus (this happens to me a lot), I can force out SW: D from Priests if I time it right, vs Rogue even if I just destroy a 1/2 dagger the draw often gives me answers I need. It...

    Verizon Wireless Customers (possible free data increase)

    I meant a standard upgrade. Paying full price isn't quite what most people mean. Also not talking about the line swapping trick, which involves a plan with multiple lines that have unlimited data. Won't work with just one.

    There really isn't ever any reason to play casual. You should always play ranked, since you basically rank up until you have a roughly 50% win rate.

    Maybe Cobblepot's "sniveling power next to the throne" is how he surved it.... Cobblepot likes him, he can offer him some protection? Maybe, at least.

    You realize that linking actual studies is pretty close to impossible? They are all behind paywalls. If someone is a university student they can look it up fairly easily, but otherwise... It isn't like that is unique to this issue. Most studies can't be linked to.

    That is just an article on it. The study was published in Chest Journal, which is the publication of the American College of Chest Physicians. Which has been around for about 80 years. Also Dabamf, didn't you post multiple times at this point about how the kind of cognitive therapy you're...

    Hearthstone

    Letting players qualify in multiple ways isn't "not abiding." They made the rules, one of the rules was they'd have multiple ways of qualifying. Ladder was one. Major tournaments, which were specified in advance, were another. This is really simple.

    Blizzard could check IP logs. But nothing much I guess, assuming you wanted to cheat and risk both of you being disqualified if anyone found out. Personally with 100k on the line I wouldn't do that. As for determining double qualifying accounts, they merged B.Net accounts for HS. When you're at...

    There isn't a public link to the paper I'm aware of. It is easy to find if you have access to university search engines though. But it is just one I grabbed because I'd read it, but my point is there are hundreds of similar studies all with positive results.

    It was complicated. There was a 130 person tournament, played in groups, for EU and NA. That was about a month ago. It consisted of top 16 ladder for each season, various people invited for major tournament wins, and several "last-call" tournaments. The top 16 ladder wasn't enough to fill it out...

    There are several studies specifically on weight loss and stopping smoking. Like I said, if you do it full time it is the majority of the business so it is the most studied. For smoking, there was a meta-analysis done by the University of Iowa in 1992. It combined ~600 studies with a total of...

    Remember for the final if LTW loses the first bo5, you need to do a second one. Bans reset if that happens and you two can choose to ban a different deck.
