Ah, point. I just checked and I have just shy of 18 hours on my file, which is 100% complete (including all the random treasure rooms, literally nothing left in the game).

So far 8 votes for either Friday or Saturday. Voting closes tomorrow and I'll start taking sign ups.

Oh, right, my mistake. Edited.

Just found out something new, once you get all the golden versions of your classes basic cards, you start getting golden neutral minions. Which ones you get depends on the class you're leveling. Kind of cool, considering some of the most commonly used cards are basic minions.

It is actually quite difficult. N64, which was not a particularly complicated piece of hardware, had odd pause bugs in many games in different emulators for a couple of years after stability was otherwise achieved. Emulation isn't easy. The PS3's architecture would be extremely difficult to...

He built a smoker out of a cardboard box (which works because you smoke at ~220 and ignition point of paper is 451 F) too and an army surplus ammo box, which was just wood IIRC. Drilled holes and used old wine corks to regulate oxygen flow. Which would easily be big enough for several slabs of...

It is weird to me he had that much trouble finding a small hot plate. MaxiMatic ESB-300X Elite Cuisine 750-Watt Single-Burner Electric Hot Plate, Black : Amazon.com : Kitchen Dining $12, ten seconds. Also if you want to get fancy with the heat control, rather than watching it or setting a...

The Emulator Zone - Nintendo 64 Emulators Looks like Project64 is top of the pile atm. Retrolink Classic Nintendo 64 USB Controller for PC and Mac Black New 812820048861 | eBay If you want that N64 feel while playing. In my ideal world I have an emulator box and a bunch of wireless...

There has been debate about using him as, effectively, a hex/polymorph. Ihearthu had an article about it. Druids can certainly deal with a 5/5, so in that sense it might be superior to running one Naturalize since it doesn't give your opponent card draw. I'd still rather run Big Game Hunter...

If you guys struggled with ALTTP as kids you should check out the speed runs, although they just might make you feel bad.

Um, Tinkmaster Overspark has the battlecry "Randomly turn a minion into either a 1/1 sheep or a 5/5 Devilsaur." You guys are thinking of the promo card Goblin Mekkatorque, which is different.

Big Game Hunter is a neutral removal. Most Druids run at least one Naturalize in constructed for precisely those types of situations. But there are lots of class specific ways of handling it. Hex, Sheep, Aldor Peackeeper making it a 1/12 is suddenly not very threatening, or Equality to make it a...

It'd be pretty easy to miss if you skipped all the dungeon chests, they are optional after all, and didn't talk to anyone...

Ancestral Spirit on Argents is one of my favorite combos. I can't justify two, but I run one in my Shaman deck. I'd be curious to try using Al'Akir if I had him unlocked.

Amazon.com: Logitech UE 984-000304 Boombox Wireless Bluetooth Speaker (Silver): Computers Accessories I'm a dancer so having music sound good and be highly portable matters a lot to me. This is the best thing I've found in that area. Logitech acquired Ultimate Ears at some point, the guys...

The mountain giants usually do come out on turn 4/5/6. Basically you don't even play cards the first 3-4 turns, unless they are Loot Hoarders, Novice Engineers, or Arcane Intellect. You just let your hand stack up. There are exceptions, of course, depends on the board. But you actually want to...

Hunter OTK all run Owls to deal with taunts, the armor from Ice Barrier is more valuable. I am considering replacing the one Flamestrike with another Doomsayer.

I haven't actually used her yet, even though I've had her in hand twice. I've always had lethal without it. Replace her with another Doomsayer and you'd probably be fine. Though she does deal with Warriors well in my experience with similar decks, because it incorrectly removes armor (supposed...

Playing the Mage Giants deck. Longest winning streak ever.

Well, given the number of voters, that'd be a big jump, yes. At least I think so. Perhaps I'll be proven wrong!

Looks like Friday is winning atm. Week from today. I'll close the poll on Tuesday and start sign ups, since Wednesday is unlikely to win.

Thorium-Fueled Automobile Engine Needs Refueling Once a Century - Industry Tap Thorium fueled car. 8 grams of thorium would run it for about a century. Pretty cool. Stuff like this has been done, but not in a way that is capable of being mass produced. Be interesting to see if it develops.

Santa Barbara traffic sucks, but only happens during normal rush hours (7-9 in the morning, 5-6 at night) except for Friday (people coming in for vacation) and Sunday (people leaving from said vacation). Also a couple of spikes when UCSB gets out/gets in. Very little of that traffic is locals...

So I'd been saving card packs for a while, because there was nothing in particular I wanted that I was missing. Opened them all up and got a Deathwing and Harrison Jones. I got an Alexstraza to but I already had one, so it is now 400 dust. Decided to go look and see what I am missing. I did...

Kingdom Rush/Kingdom Rush Frontiers are fine just using a mouse and are free, if you like tower defense they are very fun. Personally I would revisit Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

Um, most tournaments run a couple of hours. I got into the quarter finals of a tournament with like 100 people. It started at 6 PST, was over by 8:30, I was done by 7:15. That isn't what I think of as a major time commitment. If I have like a thousand people sign up, sure, maybe play it out over...

Yes. Though you don't need to supply deck lists to me either. If people want to cheat and switch up their decks between matches.... there isn't a good way to police them, honestly, not with the current tools in Hearthstone.

I think deck lists might be a bit much. Posting classes sounds OK though.

Since someone asked, yeah, when we decide on a date I'll ask people to sign up by posting their battle.net ID. At some sign-up cut-off, I'll take those signed up and put them in a bracket generator, post bracket. On the day of we'll have a check-in time, either via a website or logging into an...

Unranked is a hodge podge. I think a lot of people who have been playing for a while play in unranked to test decks, or think the wins are easier to farm gold for arena, and there are some real new people in there, but they are few and far between. I go through games faster in ranked.

Well we can have one next month to. This could just be to iron out the kinks.

Friday won. Rerolled Hearthstone Tournament Sign-ups Sign up thread.

It depends on the deck. Druid ramp decks are pretty good and their curve is pretty far to the right. Aggro decks are the most common of anything right now and their curve is way left, some Warlock/Murloc decks have nothing over 4 mana. Paladin midrange decks are pretty centered and are probably...

The racing game is pretty trivial. You can cheat by going through the crack into the other world, warp to Skull Woods, go to where the Miner's house is, use the crack there, go outside, walk behind house. My time first try was 58 seconds. Wasn't sure it'd work, had tried the overworld route 2-3...

You're not getting randomly matched in arena, you're getting matched against people who also just went 3-0 with their deck. It shouldn't surprise you that you lose at that point. Anyone with a shitty draft is gone, as is anyone who can't play the game well. 65.7% of Arena decks end with 3 wins...

Any notable cyber Monday deals for a decent work laptop? Girlfriend is a teacher and hers is dying. It needs to have a VGA out to hook up to the projector at work, though I feel like the last time I had a laptop with a VGA out was 2007.

That'd be absurdly powerful. Turn 1 with coin, Defias, Shadowstep, Defias, Prep, Cleef would be two 2/1, one 2/2, and one 12/12. Granted that'd be your whole hand so the draw isn't very likely, but even the possibility would be ridiculous.

I always do really well in arena when I have 3+ Flamestrikes as Mage. Can't remember who it was, one of the top arena guys, who said "I'll always take another Flamestrike over nearly anything else."

Was doing a Warlock daily with a Murloc deck and I was explaining what a "weenie" deck was to my girlfriend. Bunch of weak cards that add up etc. "So all the weenies add up to a dick!"
