    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I have all the armor pieces I need, a lot of them ancient, with only having spent about 1600 shards on armor. The rest went to rings until I got what I needed (which was like day 2 1/2) and then 1H weapons. What I was saying is, I have my Shenlong's weapons, but trying to get them ancient, I've...

    Stellaris

    Stellaris is the first game of theirs I'd played and I found it pretty accessible. My only problem was since I wasn't going for an overtly military win, I wasn't really sure what my goals were supposed to be to win. After the patches and this expansion it looks like that might be more obvious now.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Generally you want to skip the story and just do adventure mode. After day like 3 of a season it's pretty easy to get power leveled to 70, so you just do that and go for the first 4 chapters of the journey to get your free set, then farm bounties/rifts/greater rifts in whatever cycle of life you...

    Stellaris

    Yea I'm fine with that, although I don't know what their definition of "tall" is either. It gives all players a chance to develop more without mandating expansion constantly so that's neat, plus who doesn't love building a preposterously-sized structure to plunk some people in and make your...

    Stellaris

    I haven't played since update like 1.2 or so, but the Utopia expansion is out now and between that and all the other huge free updates, think I'm going to take another swing at actually finishing a whole game. Join the Federation or.... go about your business peacefully in your own territory! :P

    Hearthstone

    I think I'm with Kripp on evaluating the Mage Quest. The quest itself isn't THAT hard to do (although perhaps the slowest of them all, which is irrelevant in the context of the reward), and even though my initial reaction to the reward is "meh", it's just always proven to be an insane mechanic...

    Overwatch

    Pharah is my most played and probably by a reasonable amount my best character, I'm in the 2200-2800 range right now, and I cannot play her in like half my matches because of the enemy team comp. So I'm not entirely sure about these claims :P

    Hearthstone

    I didn't see the actual stream but I would assume any spell generated by another card, even if you have a normal copy of that spell in your deck, would count? Which means it SHOULD be relatively reliable to get it done, albeit not fast, but it's not a reward you probably play before turn 10 anyway.

    League Of Legends

    They're just taking the people they would have do that, and having them rewrite the existing game though. They've rewritten, from the ground up, a pretty significant chunk of the gaming, with the specific goals of making it more modular, change-friendly, patch-friendly, etc. and while they have...

    Hearthstone

    Oh I see, Meteor is to counter Ultrasaur, obviously. It looks like you COULD make some fun decks with this set, but yea if aggro-aggro is still stronk, it'll be pointless as ever. Some neat ideas finally at least. Even though my first instinct is that the mage quest isn't that insane, I'm not...

    Hearthstone

    Honestly, a lot of really interesting cards in this batch. Color me surprised. Although that 4 mana neutral legendary is much better than the rogue legendary so it's not like they completely took their heads out of their asses. Only a few of these cards look viable for aggro-aggro, a TON of...

    Hearthstone

    The hunter hero power converter by itself is a pretty bad turn 4 play, but it's a value card. Again it's absurd in arena, it can help dominate the mid game without much effort as long as you draw it. The exact timing of when it looks good to play will vary a lot based on the matchup and your...

    Hearthstone

    That Hunter hero power card is INSANE value. I wouldn't be shocked if it single-handedly bumped hunter up a few levels in Arena. It's only 2 mana so I could see it being used in constructed for tempo hunter, or in aggro beast hunter to give yourself extra legs, turning the 1-2-3 mana beasts into...

    Hearthstone

    That combo on turn 10 is obviously way stronger than mind control in control vs. control matchups, but how often do you get to sit on Sylv until 10? And obviously if that's the only deathrattle in your deck it's terrible, so you may have to add in other cards just to justify it. I actually think...

    A lot of the DC animated movies are good so this basically falls into that category.

    Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

    They're sort of dark. At the beginning and near-end of each movie there's a bunch of dark-ish dialogue and "look wtf happened jesus christ" but then it just all gets kind of glossed over / forgotten about for the rest of the movie. The fact they're not R really kills (hah) the proper body/damage...

    Hearthstone

    I dunno, I could see that being used in aggro more than anything. It seems like going second and hitting opponent 1-drop or dropping it on turn 2 vs opponent drop helps you win tempo and push face/favorable trades in your favor. I don't actually think it's that great in control because it...

    Oh I thought you meant from deck vs. completely random. Yea camel pulls from opponent deck too.

    Hearthstone

    uh... it's draw, not play, so it's pointless with injured Kvaldir. Camel is also only from your deck. It's a 5-cost 3/5 that draws two cards if they're still in your deck. It's... probably too weak for constructed, by a lot. It's not even a beast. It's potentially good for arena though.

    Death Note (2017)

    I haven't seen the anime really but maybe turning into a movie(s?) will help if that's the case, cutting shit out of things that go on too long is always nice. Based on the trailer it kills by Final Destination-ing people or something? And it just literally fell out of the sky? That all seems...

    Hearthstone

    The question is, what the fuck does the rogue quest even reward? Like, rogue has no way to repeatedly swarm the board. Very limited draw options, most of which are too slow/late game for 5/5s to muster up, no zoo-like options at all really, LoE is rotating out so can't even gamble on changing...

    Hearthstone

    The insane relative power of 1 drops to the rest of the curve is certainly an issue. The general power balance over the whole game is kinda dumb too. So many cards are blatantly awful for no reason (see: new rogue legendary) that may have an interesting effect but never get used. RNG is OK in...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    It really wasn't a good design, though, and just contributed to the RNG issues and power creep issues. If they had kept the original idea of Primals just being Ancient 2.0, I think they would have needed to include a recipe to upgrade ancients to primals. Even ancients are rare enough that you...

    Trying to play HS on my phone (Nexus 6 something) was terrible. It took several minutes to get from launching to into a game and everything was super unresponsive, on top of the battery issues. I suspect on tablets it's fine but the phone app is clearly awful. I've never had any other mobile...

    Hearthstone

    The main reason they left Auctioneer in is probably because they continue to have no idea how to design Rogue, at all, so miracle is all they've got. That new legendary, for example. Just keep buffing it in your head until it turns into something that would see play.... it's damn sure not as it...

    Overwatch

    The next character needs to be a squishy that shoots electro-bullets or something that do bonus damage to shields or fatties. The best tank counters being other tanks is still dumb (aside from Bastion who himself can be countered best by some tanks)

    I agree that the mechanic of "last turn" is fine, but the cards so far are way too weak for it to matter.

    Hearthstone

    Discard lock is definitely starting to have some really value-heavy cards, it was pseudo-playable before, if these new cards are any indication it should be viable enough. I do like Fire Fly but have to see how the synergy pans out. I don't think either of those other 2 "last turn" elementals...

    Hollow Knight - Metroidvania meets Dark Souls

    Depending on your layout all you need is an HDMI cable :P If you have a media PC or whatever hooked up to your TV you can also just do streaming play via that, essentially the same as having a Steam Link. Otherwise, I believe Steam Link + Steam Controller is the way to go if that's what you're...

    Hearthstone

    The excitement is clearly palpable. But so far I see very little to indicate they've learned anything. Tar Watcher is a maybe, Elise is a super-RNG control/tempo card (because those are SO FUN) which does nothing vs. aggro, Rogue Legendary is almost certainly insta-dust tier, the Hunter...

    Hollow Knight - Metroidvania meets Dark Souls

    I got both endings and 100% completion on this near the end of last week. The real last boss is a horrible horrible thing to experience, but the rest of the game is great :P That was before the first patch hit even so a lot of the random bullshit stutter hits/deaths I ate won't be a problem now...

    Overwatch

    I don't think they should try and force a meta at all, but they do need to continue adjusting characters to make it more dynamic. Tanks recently just had no real weakness and we good at exploited the weaknesses of regular DPS. Each DPS itself has pretty constrained use cases on the pro level...

    King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

    I love Guy Ritchie, the first trailer definitely made me think "well, maybe I'll enjoy it anyway" so I'm going to see it no matter what. I just hope it turns out to be good somehow. Lock Stock and Snatch are two of my all-time favorite movies.

    Ana is my least favorite healer to play weirdly. I think I'd like Mercy a lot if she had another ability to push occasionally. I hate Lucio. Zen is my go-to. Not that it matters much since I barely play lately, and when I do I play QP/Arcade so I can just play what I want to. Don't really care...

    Overwatch

    Her damage is actually a point of contention for a lot of people. Her problem is she's too good at everything. She can outduel a ton of characters or just CC them for 6 seconds (that the CC'd teammates can't do anything to fix), compared to most healers who... can't do that. She has very strong...
