yea, I was sad to see this end, especially after how it ended. That was a great and very emotional ending. I would have liked to hear what Donna's new idea was, my first thought was something like paypal? Idk. Think they left it totally vague on purpose, but those two making something like...

It's more that they've been competitive, and STAYED competitive, from day 1. They've been in contention for the top spots in almost every split since they joined. That's hard to do, and speaks to the quality of the organization itself. Especially since it's with an almost entirely new roster...

what in the god damned fuck is riot thinking. NV/P1? Sure. Dig? Questionable, but at least understandable to an extent. IMT? One of the 3 NA teams at worlds?!? While you keep Liquid in?! How the hell does their overwatch team have anything to do with League, except to be petty? They say IMT is...

Uhh.. so they mention dual class arena, and then i cant find anything going into more detail. How the heck is that gonna work?? Like the tavern brawl, pick one class then another? Get the hero power of the 1st, but cards from both?

I'm kind of shocked. I figured we'd lose a few recognizable names, but I thought DIG was a shoe in assuming they had enough financial backing. With the 76ers being involved, seemed like that wasn't an issue. I mean, who exactly had a better application that they got rejected? P1 and NV I can...

Yea, got into a discussion on a youtube video about this. The meta is 'balanced' from a numbers perspective, but not from an interaction standpoint. So many decks are just disguised solitaire. Who gets their key cards, or not, determines the outcome. Rather then your in game decisions...

I'm hearing it from a few places, including here, that TSM focuses so much on worlds all year that it puts too much pressure on them.. and I think that's spot on. I know it's regi's dream (and doublelift's) to win worlds. They say how nothing else matters, etc.. which sounds great on paper. But...

yea.. wow. If someone offered me 10 to 1 odds on FNC getting the #2 seed after day 1, I wouldn't have taken it. 20 to 1? Maaaybe. That's kind of crazy. First time someone has gone 0-3 and then made it out of group. Problem is, if they were showing any signs of potentially beating some korean...

what is this blasphemy you speak of.. :D

idk.. I feel like it's as similar as bortus is to worf. It's obviously intended to be based on that character, but with some comedic changes. Isaac is from an actual robot society, unlike data. He's also a bit of a dick, unlike data. Seems fine to me.

NA performing the 2nd best overall has me starting to get my hopes up.. so that likely means it'll turn out to be a fluke and they'll crash and burn now. :-/

Speaking of the cuck, him showing up as a men's rights activist now had me cracking up.

btw: grumboldt, not grumble.

jesus, me either. My DVR seems to 'lose' shows sometimes between seasons. The timer is still there, but it doesn't register it as the same thing for whatever reason. I had no idea this was back.

The edg vs skt game.. i think skt is bored and trying to handicap themselves now. That was so ridiculous. Im glad TSM showed up against FW. They need to beat them to get out of that group. The IMT/FNC game was great. Very back and forth till that one big mistake. Good stuff so far. The NA...

Man.. hearing all this talk about it almost being a 14 episode season... just depressing me even more.. wooo eeee :( Some small part of me hopes that they actually DID make all 14, and are holding 4 of them back to release in like 3-4 months to hold us over till the next season comes out. I...

As long as gretchen is back to her old self, just being a morally bankrupt crazy bish, rather then the full on retard they made her into when she was with Jimmy.. I'm fine with it. They really made all the characters other then Jimmy into complete morons in the last season, and it was getting on...

I really dig this show so far. I missed ep2, due to football messing up my DVR recording, but I've enjoyed all the others. It's not the funniest comedy show of all time, but it has some funny moments and is just a more light hearted version of star trek overall... which I'm totally fine with.

ok, that helps explain one of the questions and potential plot holes the finale brought up. The robots running amok in the park is all well and good, but eventually the 'real world' would show up with reinforcements to get em back under control. If they've shipped out units into the general...

So.. you're saying there's a chance? (that TSM gets to finals.. not that they win worlds.. heh)

Heh, a small part of me still, to this day, doesn't fully appreciate how good that kind of card is. In hearthstone, there's a 5/5 for 4 mana that's really good in arena (limited) that I always have to talk myself into picking, cause it's drawback is it it mills you for 3 when you play a card...

So, does anything wacky happen with TSM's group if group D goes weird?

The contagion/consultation were later innovations. Also, when they implemented the 'homelands handicap' where you had to use at least 5 cards from each set in t2. Sounds like you had the correct list for the time. By the time the other cards were in, strip mine was restricted/banned (depends...

Half of the MTGO versions were really just building on top of their previous shitty in-house code. Even when they 'started from scratch' it looked very similar. This was not a fully in-house dev team, AND the rumors are they finally paid closer to normal salaries for this project. They...

Yea... teddy is my least favorite of the characters. Hes just completely inept and a mess.

Previously, id have agreed with you. Now, they are saying the 'game rules engine' (GRE) that arena is based on, can implement any card or mechanics (old or new) easily. Theyve made a big deal about this, so i think its probably true, and eventually they will implement lots of older cards...

You must have had the most casual of casual stores.. drawing to split 1st and 2nd is common practice at every place ive ever been. Most stores use a prize support that makes the difference betwen 2nd and 4th too big to not do it. Its basic game theory, like the prisoner's dilemma. If its...

so.. they purposefully handicapped themselves by taking draws, and this caused others to get upset? If you go 4-0 and one of them goes 3-0-1, they have a worse record. The intentional draw thing is what friends do, not grinders, and it helps the more casual players there, if anything. ONLY Rare...

Yea, i cant imagine that was his plan (hitler) cause he had a chance to come with him like 3 times without looking suspicious and declined. But, i wonder if being on earth vs hell actually effects his mindset. Like, he was actually redeeming himself in hell and now old bad hitler is back. Lol...

As someone who had a grinder mentality, its often people who dont like their day job, day job doesnt pay well, or are making a living at magic (like a backpack trader) that perpetuate the mindset. I was a backpack trader and had my own tcg store. Friends of mine who were competitive, but had...

@Ratina I know I'm late, but if you or anyone else has any more codes. I'd really appreciate one. Watched some of the arena stream and it looks like wotc FINALLY is getting it right. A (mostly) free to play version of MTG with a good interface ala Hearthstone is all anyone ever wanted.

surprised there isn't more talk about this show. I've been digging it, and the finale episode (10) had some big moments that kinda pulled the whole season together.

It's not crap, it's a dark comedy/drama show, though. If you are expecting a drama on the level of Wire or something, you'll be disappointed. Instead, it's partly a guilty pleasure show. If you want a crime drama show, watch one of the ones Spronk mentioned above first. Or, just watch the first...

gawt dahm Alice needs to wear more skimpy outfits next season.. How you gonna get an actress with that figure and then cover her up all the time?

right? I don't find myself recommending this to other people, but I watch each week's episode as soon as I see it on my DVR. I just like criminal shows like this. Sons of Anarchy was much better, imo, but this is a halfway decent replacement to fill that void. The season 2 finale was ok, but...

Oh, also Sure.. some people would still complain (they make this exact complaint in MTG) but it's less then the amount, and type, of complaining I see about HS. In this example, you would try to bait out the poly with other minions, or have a way to protect the antonidas if you are playing a...

Oh, I'm not saying they try to implement changes to copy MTG, I'm simply pointing out that the core mechanics of the game create the tilt that we all bitch about. The basic gameplay lends itself to these situations and it's very difficult to design cards that don't continue that trend. As far...

No offense, but then you really shouldn't be making this argument. If you've never even played MTG, I don't think you are qualified to make statements about what is, or isn't, better about the mechanics between the two. I mean this in the most non-flame way possible. The difference is that you...

It's not even remotely the same problem in MTG due to instants and abilities you can use on opponent's turn. Depending on your deck, it's best to simply react to whatever your opponent does in many situations. You don't have that luxury in hearthstone. Plus, the ability to block is huge for...
