Hell, I'd say it is the best he has done. I can see why it wouldn't be for everyone but seriously, I went in thinking I would hate it and ended up loving the damn thing to death. Easily a top 50 movie of all time for me at least.

Eh, a Handlock with some tweaks handles hunters pretty well too. It isn't perfect but I'd say that I am better than 50% at least and probably 65/35 or so. That said, fuck Hunters. Fuck them when they were called Rangers, fuck them in WoW, fuck them in Hearthstone. I don't know why devs insist...

It is a big part of the attraction with the FtP model for devs. You can cut your support and gloss over bugs because lol itz free!~ Never mind that they make plenty of cash and people actually spend lots of money, you didn't *have* to pay anything so screw you. Support is expensive and...

Shroud as a thing will go a long way (and yeah, it'll be there and giftable in due course). Blizz is still screwing with their strange no-response system but they sure as hell will bring in the MtG staples.

That is one of the most amusing things I've ever seen Tuco. God damn do I love that people are idiots.

Yeah, they really should rethink the Tink changes. I understand wanting to tweak him for sure but there are a lot of ways to possibly do that. Or not of course, it doesn't matter *that* much. It'll just make for more annoying arena "Pick from these three shitty legendaries!" moments.

Ha! Here's the thing... I am a certified geek on a million levels (I am a computer programmer by degree, nature and training... although not by craft anymore) but superheroes have never really been my thing. Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Speculative fiction? Oh hell, of course. What I liked most about...

As a derail, Steelheart is pretty damned good. I was completely put off by the premise before I started reading but it is not in any way bad. A complete throwback to old-school sci-fi/fantasy with the "what if?" element and as well written as should be expected. Fuck this guy is good.

Well, this sucks. Always been a fan of his writing and acting plus he seemed like a class act. Shame he got out of the industry but couldn't have had a longer life with his family. (EDIT: Oops, I thought Rick Morranis was the dead one.)

Hey mods, how do we feel about a couple of Hearthstone threads here? I'd say an Arena (How to Win) and a Ranked (Critique this Shit Deck) might be useful. I'm finally running into non-geeks at work that are playing this silly, silly, game. (EDIT: I know I am a motherfucking Champion but...

Don't bet on it. We are seeing a typical dead cat no-bounce right now. I don't know if there is going to be a knock-on for someone else but I honestly think BTC is dead at this point. Too much bad shit at the very worst time. EDIT: It should be noted that I am a bear's bear and only...

By far the best comic series ever done. Larson was (is?) a fucking genius.

Wow. 5.2GB is quite a bit by any metric.

Well now, that was a fun ride! I enjoyed the shit out of this game and sunk only $30-$50 into it (and honestly got much more than that out in entertainment!) and all of that as random drunken "me wanna arena" stuff. Still, I am not by any means a conspiracy nut but I just got fucked by...

Well, that certainly sounds better than "half of what it was two months ago". We shall see where it is in another two months but things are definitely very speculative at the moment.

Fuck the mad bomber. That is all.

Hard to say really. I'm on seven now and obviously I'll finish the series but then again, I will read just about anything. It is, erm, stylized I guess is how I would put it. There are really very, very good scenes framed by just plain bad arcs for the most part. I'm not hating it but I'm not...

Went back to read the Dark Tower series since I ran into a chick at work reading it a month or so ago. I'd read the first two or three twenty whatever years ago but figured I might as well do the series. Well, on book six now and honestly, not even sure if I'm enjoying this or not. No matter...

Pfft. I am neither a hipster nor young and sure as fuck am not an artist. I'll admit that I'm surrounded by a bunch of them but no where near the numbers that were in Kensington. It's dink condo central around here now.

Definitely a game I know I'll love. Don't have time for it right now though so I'll pick it up in the summer one sale or with the inevitable DLC or whatever. Still requires uPlay though doesn't it? Rustles my jimmies but oh well, such is life.

Yeah, Tirion is power for sure but he only really won me one game iirc and 'won' is a bit strong even then. BoK likely one or two (that I probably would have won anyhow) but mostly it was just having a decent curve and decent cards to play. Won most of them with 30 life left having played a...

Huh. I normally resist playing paladin in arena even though I've liked the theory part. Take one (no mage, no priest... my usuals) and go a fairly easy 12 wins. It (Pally12 - Imgur) honestly didn't seem that great to me but I only lost one and it was the usual shit draw, shit redraw, rushed...

Time will tell I guess. Four is too many flamestrikes for my taste but hey, I'm all about fucking around with weird decks in arena too sometimes. Might work out. I'd give it higher marks but needs something more to feed off the minion deaths or spell casts.

Thank Baby Jesus I didn't actually go to Vegas for this one. I would have lost a shitload and honestly, across the board. Not. One. Thing. went the way I expected for this game and I had my asshole friend (shit-hawk fan for 30+ years) rubbing it in every down. Oh well. Grats Seattle. I...

Motherfucker be mailing me the damned earmuff, that's all I have to say about that.

I'd also say with arena that it depends on what your goal is. If you are happy with 3-5 wins no matter what, just load up on 2-3 drops and it almost doesn't matter which ones you pick. If you can get together an actual reasonably good aggro deck then of course you can often go further. To...

Ha! I'm on the cusp of getting my working Mage delay/secrets deck *kinda* working. It's winning right now but mostly because it just has some traction against the current meta and it is under the radar. Freeze is *still* damned powerful and playing with certain conditions is neat even if...

I found it to be somewhat flawed but generally very good. The script could have used another pass or two to refine some of the plot elements but the acting, direction and production were excellent. I'll likely watch it again sometime.

A $100 prize pool is seriously something they want to do? Meh, amusing still I'm sure.

Just throw it into the matchmaking formula. I imagine they already track average time taken per turn (or could if they wanted to) so just try to match people based on how long they take. Fast players would get fast ones (on average) and slow fucks can go play in the ball pit with their peers.

I don't see many Tdrakes really anymore but it is a good utility card regardless. Plenty of greedy decks run cards that are "ruined on silence".

New Hunter is fucking rapey I think. Bit too early to meta it but the interaction between beaver, vulture and token spam is hilarious. It plays just about backwards from the usual deck but it seemed to be way strong just fucking about in constructed. Kills can be tricky but the drawing potential...

Giraffe?

Yeah, I guess it depends on what you were used to playing. I didn't find Sylvanas to be too crazy (great card of course but rarely game dominating or anything) while I still see argus as essentially just as strong as before. Pyro and the trickling changes to mages concern me some though. No...

gg

Yeah, not going to happen though. Chargers, playoffs, etc etc... second half is going to be a blowout.

Yep, keeps them in it if nothing else.

Weird shit happens in arena. I've had five of one card before (knife thrower... went well!) and I'm reasonably sure there's no cap. It makes arena kinda silly but still fun. From draw to draw you can just see nothing but shit and sometimes nothing but amazing cards. I seem to be a magnet for...

Don't get me wrong, I love me some action RPGs or at least those with simulated action styled combat. Dark Souls, Skyrim and such are just fantastic fun, although rarely *because* of the combat. Still, I also love classic RPGs and tactics-style RPGs. They are completely different genres...

That's a pretty thin technicality though. I wonder what revenue this 'beta' has drawn since it started?
