I've learned that the best way to deal with mind control is to make sure you have a contingency plan going into turn 8. Say, for example, you're a druid that's about to drop a turn 8 Ironbark Protector (8/8 with taunt). I wouldn't do it unless I had either a) 8 damage-worth of minions on the...

Definitely. Unlocking all the basic cards gets you 100 gold from a hidden quest. Plus, if you haven't been following the game, it gives you a good feel for each class. Also, beat all the expert AIs for another 100 gold.

I'd say so. If I had to make a list of best arena classes, I'd say: 1) Priest 2) Druid 3-4) Mage, Paladin 5-7) Hunter, Shaman, Warlock 8) Warrior 9) Rogue Part of that list, though, is probably me not knowing how to successfully draft an arena rogue. I just feel like the class is too...

Man. Fuck Lightspawn when you don't have a way to get rid of it. Had no removal/silence in my hand and trading only brought it down to 2 health. Over two turns, he proceeded to heal/buff it up to 18/18 and that was it.

Sounds about right. You have to rip apart a few terribles before you start hitting a challenge in constructed

Personally, I don't have time to spend hours playing a game. I hate starting games only to be pulled away by RL for a week or two and then I've forgotten half the story or I have to relearn mechanics. Since there's no story to speak of, only the game, which has simple mechanics, I can pick this...

How much cash has everyone spent on this game? I've dropped $16 so far ($10 for some packs and 3 arena entries). I'm at the point where as long as I do decently in arena, I'm guaranteed another run. And I'm confident enough in my play now that I can probably get at least 5 wins (save for a...

Gah. I really want Ippudo now. We always make a point to go there when we're in NYC. There's just nothing like it anywhere.

Goddammit. Just lost a game to a hunter who gave a chicken the hound master taunt. Freaking embarrassing

Late here... I'm confused. The iPad 2 = iPad 2nd generation? As in the one from 2 years ago? They're still making/selling it even with the 30-pin connector?

Here's Kripp using it. I feel like he used it a turn too soon (turn 6 rather than waiting), but still freaking strong. He probably popped it earlier because he realized his opponent was using the same deck. Although if his opponent had put up an explosive trap, Kripp would've been boned.

Just to fuel the D3-engine fire some more, they already ported it to consoles, so maybe Heroes will be a next gen console game

I've realized that I'm pretty decent at playing the game / making decisions, but my drafting skills are terrible. Are there any rules of thumb for how many minions/spells you should be drafting? I haven't really counted, I just approximated a 2:1 ratio of minions:spells/weapons. Also, in...

Of course I realize that Heroes is still probably using the SC2 engine. But since the trailer, we haven't gotten any new info. So let the wish lists commence, IMO. I understand that people hate D3, but you can't hate on the feel of combat in that engine.

Diablo 3 PvP became Heroes of the Storm. Calling it now

When it was called Blizzard DOTA, it was essentially just a SC2 mod, but if they ported it to the D3 engine and made it feel more visceral, I'd totally play this.

I'm pretty sure the bracket don't reflect their skill. I mean, c'mon, Trump in the 'bottom' bracket? Poor wording on Blizzard's part.

Ha... I know the feeling. I drafted a mage without any board clears or even a freaking frost nova. Lost really hard against a shaman using double flametongues and the +hp on totems card. Also lost against a pally playing a lot of small cheap stuff. In that situation, where you don't have any...

YES! Got into beta. So excite

I thought it was pretty ballsy of Disney to do Mulan and Aurora. I always thought of them as a more 'traditional' valued company and never would have thought that we'd see lesbian Disney princesses. It was hinted at pretty much all of season 2 (with all the longing looks and whatnot), and this...

Between this game and the upcoming Zelda, I'm really temped to pick up a 3DS. Super Mario 3D Land doesn't look too shabby either. Damn you, Nintendo, and your quality 1st party games. Even if the games only change incrementally, they're always fun.

Um, yeah... Coffee hadn't kicked in yet. Whatev

That's part of what Coulson awesome.

Portillos. Hot dog, italian beef, and fries.

The good news is that they just sent out another wave, so they seem to be doing this daily now. The bad news is, of course, I didn't get one.

I'd just like to reiterate the fact that I'm incredibly jealous of all of you with beta access... I've watched hours of this game on YouTube and Twitch, and I haven't played a single game. I swear Satan came back as a consultant for Blizz

I've thought about messing around with Arduino but never had a project in mind to actually make the purchase. It's not even a particularly expensive purchase (you can get an uno for $13 fromAmazon). I just don't know what I would do with the thing. And you don't program in assembly, it's got...

Yeah... I'd appreciate it if you people would just refrain from rubbing your beta keys in our plebeian faces. ...thanks...

Right now, the game is by no means perfect. But it's definitely past the disaster it was on launch. I've recently got into it (skipped it on launch) and I'm having a pretty good time. Nothing's horribly broken to the point of me throwing my hands up and walking away from the game like people...

iOS 7 took me a little over a week to get used to, but I can't go back now. I keep asking my wife if she wants me to upgrade her phone, but she won't budge. Too much change, I guess.

No, but after a promising first episode, I was definitely expecting something more for this one. And could they have casted a worse actress to play the Peruvian leader? Good lord I wanted to turn the TV off every time she talked.

Picked up for a second season: https://www.facebook.com/notes/sleep...33276500084320

Patch notes Hearthstone Closed Beta Patch Notes - News - Hearthstone edit: too slow, see above

Great episode, save for the whole Native American used-car salesman cum shaman bit

I think the voodoo doll was Neal/Baelfire's

Different strokes I guess, I actually like that song (save the ending). But yes, more Myung is always welcome. You knew that he was keeping up with everyone else before, but it's nice to be able to pick out his sound for once.

I disagree. On a Dramatic Turn of Events, yeah, Rudess's keys were pretty prominent. They just let him off the leash in that one. But this album definitely integrates his sound a lot better. As for LaBrie, I'm always inclined to point fingers to vapid lyrics. They managed to write less...

I really like this album, probably my favorite one in recent memory. However, the endings to The Looking Glass and The Bigger Picture really bother me. Finished with the reprise? Okay, end it with a quick flourish.

Get yourself a nice knife. Best cooking-related purchase I've made in recent memory.

My iPad 2 is definitely feeling slow, but this is the first time I've heard that for the newer ones. Luckily, updating to iOS 7 didn't make the speed any worse. The iPad 3 was announced in March 2012 and the iPad 4 / mini were announced in Nov 2012. Since it's been almost a year since the...
