How are the dungeons/grouping content? Been sort of bored lately, and realized I never actually did any group pve after getting bored of the WvW and zone quests.

Picked it up with the steam sale. Game seems a lot better than I would have expected. Kind of a bummer it was so poorly marketed and released with a sub, as it seems a lot better than 90% of the trash. Not sure I'll stick with it, but generally impressed thus far and well worth the box price.

Picked up a playset of Jace for a bit under 40, which was nice given the fact that I traded one for 50 in credit last fall. Seems like UW? control might be a thing with a lot of key cards being from the ravnica block and not much rotating. Looking at block, both esper and grixis control look...

I'd be curious how well core does as a "better for new players" thing. Everyone I know who was a new player in the past 18 months had a LOT more fun with the ravnica block cards than M13, and M13 was a hell of a lot better than M14. New != retarded. New != Timmy. New just means you are new to...

Like Dredd, the trailers for this movie really suppressed any desire to see it. Might go anyway given the positive reaction, but actually marketing a movie as "this is a brainless movie w/ no story where we are counting on males to want brainless action" is not a great way to get moviegoers imo...

Hopefully the low amount of mana fixing atm means they can finally reprint birds.

Like.. 2-3 quests? or another 5-6? Kinda wimpy I guess to ask for more clarification but want to try out some other classes w/o burning another 3 hours on questing in a plotline I'll be doing again in a few weeks.

Attendance at pre-releases here were godawful. I think M14 in general has no one excited. Slivers were made uninteresting and there aren't many interesting or potentially powerful cards in the set as a whole.

So, if I just went to the secret HQ of the "good guys" and was inducted and the something rose is the password, how far am I from the Ifrit quest and being able to jump other classes to 15?

I love the story, music, variety of things. I'm a bit concerned about the lack of variety in what to do as a healer tho. Conj healing basically seems like: 1) Cast Cure or Medica 2) See #1 And WHM seems to essentially add a single HOT to the mix. While I DEFINITELY don't want to see...

Modern is so much more fun, can't wait to finish building the legacy deck. I had 10x as much fun going 2-1-1 at modern tonight than anytime in standard since rotation (including 4-0s and gameday wins and states top 8).

You can start picking up other classes once you have 10 in your main class.

PL does stupid shit in their fishing fleets constantly, it is a wonder they don't get burned more often. They'll probably be careful for a few months, but I bet people could pop a bunch of supers 3 months down the road, altho probably not a faction SC. Was that Grath Telkin? I remembered him...

I ended up just watching the movie on Youtube since I get impatient with actually playing games really easily these days. Fucking impressive game. Wow. I didn't even play the game and I'd put it in as easily the GOTY. The production values/environment/voice acting/script/etc was all just superb...

Fuck. Lazy Sunday and what I really want to be doing right now is playing FFXIV, preferably a version that isn't going to delete my characters. blah.

There are probably a decent amount of people who are into FF rather than being standard MMO players who are worried about efficiency. Or something, I dunno. As for the game, I spent more time playing this beta (probably 10 hours) knowing my character will be erased than almost any MMO since I...

Ahh, cool. that makes sense. Hadn't gotten another class to 10 to try that out.

Hrmm, don't attribute points kind of futz with the whole ability to play multiple classes thing? Probably not an earth shattering difference, but it seems to reduce the flexibility a bit.

This would only make sense if P2W players could get 5 levels higher or something. If all steroids meant is that you could work out 15 hours a week instead of 20, people wouldn't mind nearly as much.

If not in the main, then throwing it in the side seems legit. Good card against anyone playing counterspells or trying to flash things in. Also, if you can kill it.. an X/X when your goal is to dump creatures onto the board seems pretty good.

The M14 artifact that lets you copy a triggered ability seems interesting. No clue how good it will be, but a fun card. Overall M14 looks pretty blah though. Not sure why anyone would crack core packs but I'm glad they do so that I can trade for the singles I care about.

I kickstarted it after getting a bit overly excited about it at Pax. It looks fun and I don't regret the money, but it doesn't look earth shattering. Coming out around the same time as Hex and Hearthstone will be rough.

Doh, downloaded it Friday and was impressed with what I saw but was planning on actually playing a lot today. Phooey!

I worded my statement poorly. I definitely plan on reading the book. Referring to having not read it as a good thing was just that it likely made it easier to enjoy the movie.

C++ seems better from a performance standpoint. However, that tends to be irrelevant most of the time compared to dev cost and dev cost tends to be lower with a language like c# that is good at getting shit done. Other nice thing about common languages is if you are good at it, it is bloody...

Enjoyable flick imo, but not great. Haven't read the book which is probably a good thing. A rated R version would have been a lot more interesting.

After years of emo superman being a pussy and dealing with 50 different kinds of kryptonite in Smallville, it was nice to just have some action. Fairly thin on plot/humor/anything else, but surprisingly enjoyable nonetheless. Fun flick as long as you know what you are getting into imo.

Not really a big deal, if stores run out they get more from WotC.

As of a year ago, they weren't even trying to do software dev in house anymore. Roughly a year ago, I was talking to their last remaining dev and his job had devolved to managing offshore devs from India for all the software dev. He was miserable and starting to look for a job. Offshoring...

Sounds like Grand Prix Las Vegas has some pretty insane attendance, and they had to cap it at 4500 in order to not take 10 hours to process everyone and get the rounds started.

The fact it is the only card anyone cares about in dragon's maze is a big part of the problem. Avacyn Restored at least had bonfire and cavern and a couple other cards back when everyone was chasing bonfires. DGM has voice and.....? Blood baron isn't a terrible card, but it definitely isn't a...

Went to my first modern event tonight with some friends who were also fairly new. Way more fucking fun than standard, which I got pretty tired of in January after playing it for around 6 months. I made a lot of mistakes, but that should become less common as I get more familiar with modern...

Super glad I picked up a playset of fetches for 200 back before SCG spiked the prices on all of them. Hard part now is just knowing when to trade them. I'd like to wait until modern PTQ season, but will be sad if something unexpected makes them dip significantly before then. On the flipside...

as much as the online client is a total piece of shit, it can really help with understanding what you can and can't respond to and when. Might be worth making an account, using the free cards you get, and playing around a bit.

We had our private draft tonight. I finally got to draft the 5 color artifacts deck i've been wanting to try for ages. Very fun, with all sorts of recurrence and nothing ever stays in the GY. That said, flickerwisp was a beating against the 0/0 artifacts that get counters when you cast them...

Hrmm, just got the "rift is now fully free to play" email which kind of surprised me. I thought they were doing okay? Classes, factions, GODAWFUL leveling experience (go collect bear asses? fuck you), and the overly long dungeon fights at release made me move on and I was never able to come...

So both consoles will require $$ per month to play online multiplayer?

Microsoft seems to ruin a lot of potentially good things with really terrible pricing. Surface should have been 399, XBOne should have been 399. I think they'll still do fine, but they really missed their chance to Killing Blow the PS4. That's probably a good thing for everyone else though.

My thallids deck went 2-2, losing twice to rebels. Basically I'd win each game I drew Engineered explosives and lose the other 2. I think with more practice, rebels would be more heavily drafted, but the guys I was playing against had sick cards. 2-3 of the relevant rebels, with 3 of the "fetch...

Friend and I opened up 3 boxes we got at MSRP, splitting the middle one. 1 box (the one we split) was super lucky, with goyf, foil ravager, elspeth, cryptic command, doubling season, and a solid amount of the ~10 dollar rares. 1 box was fairly average, with a sword, kokusho, clique, and decent...
