I only started drafting about six weeks ago, but these tips should help: - It's suboptimal to decide what guild/colour you're going into first. Generally speaking what's going to decide what guild/colour you go into is the cards in your first few packs combined with which guilds/colours are...

Thanks for the link, they have some good prices. Also I want to say this: Fuck Pack Rat. In the last two drafts I've played against people who got Pack Rat and managed to play it turn two. The consolation prize is I did at least get foil Boros Reckoner, foil Skylasher, and a Domri Rade at the...

Pay to win is prevalent in many non-western markets. CryTek touched on this when discussing challenges in bringing Warface to different markets. IIRC they brought up the fact that the Russian version has pay-to-win aspects because that is culturally acceptable while the North American version...

Going to agree. The banners look to be fairly useless now for telling you whether or not the person is a positive player. Had a guy the other day with what I think was a friendly team mate banner spend a good chunk of the game pushing people around in unfriendly ways. Never mind that before, if...

There's a reason to play not games for IP now that ARAM is out?As an aside, does anyone else find it hilarious that people are making ARAM smurf accounts that only have certain champions?

Uhhh no. While Intel has been beating AMD in quite a few ways, AMD's chips aren't anywhere close to being "shit" for their pricepoint, especially when it comes to computer graphics where the CPU doesn't matter nearly as much as the video card. Plus given AMD's computer graphics experience...

This.

Only 20%-30%? It is probably a bit more than that

Full set of Dragon's Maze cards is up:http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/art...ragonsmaze/cig

Even if he wasn't you don't need to be a citizen to be protected by the constitution while on US soil.

Cardkingdom.com is also pretty good. I tend to use them but their retail store is also a few blocks from my house so... You can also occasionally find good deals off of Amazon.com via a third party seller.

May as well link this, since it has all the known cards so far:http://www.mtgsalvation.com/dragons-maze-spoiler.html Beyond that, the basic land in every Dragon's Maze pack will be a guildgate with a chance of it being a shockland instead. Unfortunately shock lands will now have half the...

It seems like they might be taking the right direction for the third movie by giving President Snow a much more visible presence. Of course it could be that Donald Sutherland is amazing as well. It'll be interesting to see how the second and third movies handle how screwed up Katness becomes...

That is different from Valve's games requiring and only being available on Steam how?

It is not like Origin is that bad. Plus it is a good thing that Steam isn't the only kid in town because while Valve is "benevolent" (I use the term very loosely) right now it might not be in the future. I dunno, I think most people who trash Origin at this point haven't actually used it...

At least that part is animated...

A bunch of Cuban exiles in Florida that can swing elections.

Where did you hear about the skins policy change?

Sorry I should mention he is well aware of the fact it can sell for $500. He doesnt play LoL, the time spent taking the effort to sell it isnt worth it to him, and he doesn't care what I do with it. I have been toying with the idea of donating it to the Child's Play dinner auction.

So I recently acquired a PAX Twisted Fate skin code from a friend who did spring cleaning. Not sure if I should keep it or sell it.

A lot of people are misunderstanding Microsoft's intentions here. They are banking on non-gamers to buy the console as a non-game media consumption device. Basically the device isn't focused on just selling games it is focused also on selling music, movies, and TV. In that light the always on...

The problem with the new Xbox is that it is not being designed as a game console but as a media consumption device. I mean the PS4 is also going to be a media consumption device but at least Sony is designing it for games first whereas for Microsoft it is the other way around: media consumption...

Even if you go mid and "carry" you're still not guaranteed to win. The best success right now I have is convincing my team to just take as many towers as they can early and if I'm mid I try to make sure it doesn't go down since it provides so much map control. Even then, that didn't stop me from...

Well if the next Mass Effect is set after the trilogy then they will have to make a number of player choices go one way or the other. Of course the next Mass Effect could be a prequel too.

I'm a Dyrus fan myself, he won me over when I was able to talk to him for a bit in person at this past PAX East. Season 3 so far has been very interesting and I'm excited to see if Riot can really turn pro-LoL into a full on revenue generating machine. If they can do that they won't be as...

Panel barely touched the issue of the ending and sadly stuck to preselected questions from the internet. As for what they said about the ending they "had their heads down and didn't realize how attached people would be to their characters, which they think they fixed in the Extended Cut and...

The Mass Effect Retrospective panel at PAX East is starting in a few minutes. It will be interesting to see whether or not they ban questions about the ending. Unfortunately I don't think it is being streamed.

Yep, I'll be bringing the popcorn. Are you going to PAX too?

There is no reason you shouldn't be able to return games, or at the least digital purchases in this day and age. It's trivially easy to add metrics to a game that will prevent return fraud. For example the kind of metrics that make it so that I can't return a game if I've already beaten it or...

I've been gravitating towards ARAM quite a bit. Even if you get a team comp that's terrible you can still have fun. Which sure beats the trolling and bullshit that happens in Summoners Rift. Yes I am bitter right now, I'm on a bit of a losing streak

I wouldn't consider returning the game "sticking it" to Amazon. If anything it hurts EA more since Amazon is a massive company and could care less about a bunch of returns compared to keeping their customers happy at the expense of Steam and Origin.

I find it sad that it is so broken because the underlying premise and ideas behind simulating the entire populace is brilliant.

Yeah, they really need a mode for roads that let's you lay down "plans" then turn them into actual roads later so we don't have to dump ridiculous amounts of money into trial and error at the start.

I was having the same problem with mines, I don't really understand how to best go the trade route as it's a bit convoluted.

The bright side of this is that the team that made the multiplayer is working on the next game. Also, there's a Mass Effect 3 panel at PAX East this year and it includes the likes of Casey Hudson. Should be interesting times

The reason why EA, along with Mojang and a few others, aren't on Steam has to do with Steam's incredibly restrictive terms around how you can monetize your game. I'll allow Notch to explain:http://notch.tumblr.com/post/9550850...no-steam-notch Beyond that, Origin itself is a pretty solid...

BoRK + Liandri's on Kayle is pretty hilarious too. Generally I do a build order along the lines of: BoRK > Liandri's > Stinger > Boots > Nashor's > Randuin's > Guinsoo's or Hextech

Finally able to start downloading it.

Can anyone on the west coast who ordered through Origin play yet?
