Lenaldo echoes pretty much all the points I would make. Now can we get back to discussing how enjoyable it will be to see Riven nerfed into the ground?

Out of curiosity what are people's thoughts on the best shotgun and the best attachments for it? Maybe I suck at googling but I haven't found much useful info.

Also, I could see Fabled Hero in the sideboard against certain decks (aggro?), but at that point I'd just rather a Boros Reckoner.

Just had someone try to play Biovisionary followed up by Progenitor Mimic on MTGO. I killed the Biovisionary and so he had to copy a Sylvan Caryatid. Was quite amusing. Key thing is that he had already dumped his hand by this point so it was the correct play since he got into a top deck war and...

True, though none of the people I know playing the heroic decks use him main deck because he's too slow at three mana for what they want to do.

Most of the successful heroic decks that I've seen in standard have been red and white. I mean they're still tier two, if that, but they have been putting out 3-1 results at my local FNM. The reason for red is things like Young Pyromancer, Coordinated Assault, Akroan Crusader (though a few...

True, but I just really consider Detention Sphere a removal spell and move on, similarly with Chained to the Rocks. You see all these mono-black decks splashing green for Abrupt Decay and Golgari Charm to kill those two enchantments but it really weakens the decks. The burn decks don't really...

The only enchant/artifact hate you see in standard these days is Wear//Tear in burn decks because they get screwed over by life gain which typically comes from artifacts and enchantments.

I wish PTQs out in Seattle were less than 200 people. 300 is average and we will be pushing 400 soon.

I asked around at Card Kingdom (they're a big online retailer but I live near their brick and mortar store) today and there's definitely a few people willing to buy at least the Unlimited dual lands. See your private messages for contact info, Doubt. Also, that sucks being so close...

You can probably get more money selling to players anyway. I know a few local people that would probably buy up the lands at least. Would still require you to ship across the country but you would at least get potentially more monies. Want me to get you in touch with them? Also, with that...

China Rising will never be free unless you preordered. What happens with all DLC is that Premium members get it two weeks early, then everyone else can buy it. Tarrant, Origin isn't bad it's just as good if not better than Steam from a technical standpoint.

For most players looking to get better, swiss is the best EV until your win rate is like 80%. The reason being is that in swiss, even if you lose first round you can continue playing and continue to evaluate whether or not you made good or bad draft decisions while still being able to win packs...

MTGO is good for practicing and getting better. But yeah, the fact I have to buy the cards again if I own them IRL sucks. For drafting the best way to practice is swiss and for most people it is the best expected value. It still is not cgeap. For standard practice the cheapest top tier deck...

Modern is anywhere from $300-$1500 last I checked. The biggest cost being the land base. Luckily fetch lands are probably going to be reprinted in the next year or so and thus we should see more sane prices.

I decided to try out this list at FNM: I really like the deck and it's a lot of fun, but in my meta (Card Kingdom in Seattle) there seems to be a lot of RW burn decks. There aren't many mono-black devotion decks so I was thinking of replacing the two Dark Betrayals in the side board with...

Based on surveys Ubisoft has been putting out, I would not be surprised to see a full blown pirate game from them.

I'd be up for it, I primarily play jungle but am decent at all the roles. I am currently fluctuating between Silver II and Silver I. My summoner name is my forum name.

I thought Radaghast, after the events of The Hobbit, more or less just "disappears" and is one of the failed Maiar Istari?

The launch was problematic with a lot of crashing bugs but those have mostly been fixed. Battlefield 4's launch is nowhere near the worst launch, and to compare to even the SimCity launch is laughable at best.

The range on the XM25 is set to where you are aiming just before you look down the scope. In particular the "top bar" on the reticule is where the range is set. Once you get the hang if it, it is super effective at killing idiots on top of buildings.

The complaints about HFR amuse me considering I've studied this phenomenon a bit in school. Boils down to people having the preconception that lower framerate things like movies are "higher quality" and higher framerate things are "lower quality". As more and more HFR movies come out that...

Played against a guy last night doing Dimir control but with Master of Waves as his top end. His deck is really rough to play against as Mono-Black because he had Domestication and a bunch of counter spells. Like, Domestication just wrecks Mono-Black. I don't think the deck is unbeatable but...

Basically all of the Final Fantasy games are linear, the others were just much better than FF13,at achieving the illusion of freedom.

Decided to switch from playing Mono-Blue devotion at FNM to playing Mono-Black Devotion. This will be fun, though last week I ran into a lot of control.

Most tech companies, including Google and Microsoft, have banned brain teaser questions like that one. Beyond that, interviews are a crap shoot that relies both on you being prepared and the interviewer asking the right questions in the right way. It is like a game of Magic: The Gathering, you...

What Rezz said, it is also the reason why the main characters of FF15 look like a male j-pop band. The character designs are different because well, it is a different culture.

Is anyone else having issues connecting to servers? These days I seem yo constantly get stuck on "Connecting..." when trying to join servers, many of them I have previously played on.

TBH helicopters are very hard to play right now. You either need an engineer healing you to survive long in the scout helicopter, and for the attack heli you need things like the TV missile since close combat with the attack heli is a quick way to die on any of the non-urban maps.

AFAIK those were active radar missiles that hit you.

Unfortunately, because of the way the rules for Magic are written, there is almost zero leeway for judges to punish players based on that kind of crap. Whereas in other sports refs have tools for dealing with crap like that. I mean look how long it took Alex Bertoncini to get banned initially.

Just looked it up and that explains why I keep hearing a last second missile tone before being hit when flying. I agree there is like no time to hit the flares.

Yeah that is bad us one of the reasons why jets don't need to take off anymore. Also is anyone else sick of the fact that people can park AA and missile trucks in the spawn and be able to still control major portions of the map with them? The most annoying being the AA on Lancang Dam.

The only thing I see wrong with Riot restricting how players stream is that the list itself is inconsistent. Beyond that then these terms are fairly reasonable, I mean have you seen some of the contracts pro athletes sign? The real discussion we should be having is whether or not having the...

Not a very big fan of the new maps so far, maybe they will grow on me. Also I hope DICE tones down the siren from the bomber wince it is *always* going off and gets annoying.

Managed to 4-0 a draft for the first time on Saturday doing UW heroic. Pack one was rough, there was a Bow of Nylea, but seven other really good green cards so I decided to take a Keepsake Gorgon since I figured even if I took the Bow of Nylea I would be cut off hard in green. Turns out I was...

Random observations: -TV missiles on the attack boats are OP and necessitate using the active missile defense system on Paracel Storm. - For helicopters the best way to pilot them is to use a controller. I use a PS4 controller myself. Luckily DICE was nice and there is a training map you can...

Can't really do that in this oneSo hard to sneak around due to the way the minimap works in this BF4. I loved BC2 as recon since with the ghillie suit you could blend in with the map and run around like you said. Mostly I'm levelling recon right now by just blowing up vehicles with C4.

They really need to make the commander app available on cell phones. I want to play while I'm on the bus.

There will be lots of deals on Amazon's PSN store and I think that includes BF4. Kotaku has the details.
