Heh, that happened to me in the first game mid way through the final boss fight. PS3 crashed and I lost all my progress. Only time I have ever had my PS3 crash.

What deck were you on again? I was on jund monsters myself. My mistakes were largely not mulliganing when I should have. I did lose to the person playing the MBDr deck in the top eight, but it was a very, very close third game which involved her top setting up a Rakdos's Return to strip my hand...

Was this the PTQ in Seattle? If so, those people were largely cleared out by the monsters decks :P

I actually really liked Caspian. The extra routes into C are really nice, though the map feels smaller.

The more I think about it the more I've come to like MGS2's story. Ok, the stuff with Rose sucked but I think most people who hate on it are still salty over the Raiden switcharoo. The game is also surprisingly relevant in the context of today's surveillance state.

The reason to send all data to Valve would be so that hackers can't reverse engineer the detection logic. Plus it's really not all that hard or expensive in the age of cloud computing to just collect all the data and go through it later with something like Hadoop.

Badly organized companies move slowly. It just so happens that being bigger gives a company more ways to be badly organized. I've worked at one of the largest software companies in the world and despite it being huge we moved incredibly fast and could push software changes rapidly in an...

What I don't get about the bot lane issues it that they barely did any balancing during the pre-season... Which is what the pre-season is for. With how slow issues are being addressed I wonder if Riot has some management issues or something that is slowing things down.

I hate SLAMs but every time I die to them it's usually my own fault. Honestly I don't get how people are so bad at this game. Even in a completely one sided game where I'm on the losing team I can carve out a niche and get lots of kills and points simply by trying to cap. It's not hard and I...

Veigar is one of those annoying champs who is really good in the right hands and absoluteky terrible in other hands. His stun basically forces whoever is mid to buy Mercurial Treads or die.

The Maze's End deck you are talking about didn't make top eight, but it did make day two at GP Vancouver.

Amazon already makes games, albeit on the more casual end of the spectrum. Yeah it is kind of crazy but Amazon literally does everything these days.

In terms of the expensive cards I can likely hook you up with a store in Seattle that would buy them. Then you can sell the rest bulk in Australia.

Did five pre-releases this weekend and went: 1-3, 4-0, 1-3 (2HG), 3-1, 2-2. Was pretty fun, I even got to hard-mode it with the 4-0 when I was paired up against one of the top ranked Magic players in the world. I won the match but got a bit lucky with good draws as they were clearly a better...

Kill La Kill just keeps delivering every week. The troll at the beginning of this week's episode was pretty good too.

Yeah Fawe I think I am going to pick up Yasuo myself. I already played a few games before the S4 start with him and he was fun. Man, if he gets going it is bonkers. That said, if I get Vi I am also pretty co fident in winning.

Honestly just listen to the podcast I linked if you want a good idea of each of the cards. Marshal Sutcliffe and Brian Wong are some of the best limited magic players and they go through the upsides and downsides of all the commons and uncommons in depth from a limited perspective. The rares and...

This podcast is your friend:Limited Resources | Magic: The Gathering podcast with an emphasis on improving at Limited play.And yeah, for sealed it's really a test of your deck building skills since the pool can be completely random. As I said earlier I had a pool with no deep colours but a bunch...

Trundle might be fun. I am also decent with Kha'zix in the jungle too and he isn't banned much. The only issue is when the team needs a tank.

Yeah it was a rough gameIf Lucian had stuck around we would have won. Oh well, gonna have to get better at some other jungler since all my favorites (before they were cool) are banned these days.

Unless you have three Nylea's Presence, two unicorns, and two non-green dual lands. Then go ahead and force all the colors! I actually did thus at a PTQ, none of my colors were particularly good so I played 5 color good stuff. It worked pretty well and my losses were due to dumb play mistakes...

Experience with a champion >>>> counter picks. If you're good enough with a champion, being counter picked is rarely relevant.

This was posted on Reddit, but figured I'd post it here. For the pre-release this seems like a pretty decent combo, and if you have a heroic creature you're now in magical christmas land:[BNG] How I plan on winning pre-release - Imgur

I doubt it'll end up in standard, it's slower than G/R devotion and more vulnerable.

Poppy just doesn't work competitively in any lane, and if Poppy did work, Riot has already said that they would nerf her into the ground. So stop trying.

Wow I can't believe I forgot about Boros Reckoner, derp.

Even before the changes Ziggs was a borderline decent support with good zoning and anti-gank utility. I'm glad he's back in vogue since my other favourite champions, Nasus and Shyvana, are banned all the time. While he is also banned a bunch, at least one of those three is usually open.

So I was curious and decided to make my own minotaur list since the Minotaur tribe seems to be pretty much spoiled at this point. This is what I came up with: Thoughts on the deck: - I main decked a bunch of removal since it's really important in a majority of match ups. Plus...

Yeah it definitely seems that minotaur tribal will have some legs in standard come Born of the Gods.

If anyone in the silver skill level wants to duo-queue I really want a relatively dedicated solo queue partner. Before the reset I was around Silver I/Gold V MMR.

I can say the overall quality in solo queue has gone waaaaaay down.

So is this AP Teemo mid thing actually good and should I start banning him to keep baddies from playing Teemo? I'm bad at internet sarcasm.

That or Pit Fight might be useful.

Yeah placement has been a nightmare for me too. Lost three games where, as a team if we had shut up and stopped arguing, we would have won.

I'm running G/R monsters tonight at FNM. Any ideas for what might be good in the side board for the mirror? Right now my side boarding involves replacing two Xenagos with Chandra's and then bringing in two more Mizzium Mortar's.

Ranked queues are up and ratings reset. Now where are some of you punks who I've been duoing with?

Be careful of signing any contract with machinima. They have been known to screw streamers via their contract terms.

Truth be told I don't think the nerfs to Shyvana are *that* bad, but I've always played her in the jungle.

Pretty sure the version coming out is not the director's version

Managed to top 32 a PTQ today playing mono-black devotion. Had three losses which were: - Esper deck tuned specifically to kill mono-black devotion with main board Ashiok's and side boarded Jace, Memory Adept. - Mirror match where after two marathon game he managed to grind me out. The guy...
