Apparently in EU Shaman are considered top-tier in constructed and arena. They are tier 2 in NA for both. I've been playing around with them and I think it really comes down to correctly manipulating your overload mechanic to really get their paces out of them, but you can just play the standard...

If you're going to spend money, buy Arena entries. You always get a pack and you'll get gold/dust/cards as well. I dumped the money I made off of the RMAH from D3 into it, no regrets, I find the game a ton of fun.

I have two Arcane Intellects for card draw and actually I'll mulligan pretty aggressively hoping to get one. A good number of the spells will often take out multiple targets (Blizzard, Flamestrike, Arcane Missiles+Fireblast, Cone of Cold+Fireblast). I can make Blizzard and Flamestrike more...

Perhaps because they didn't design any of their consoles to collect customer information. Really though, it was just something they missed. It happens. They said they were surprised at how many people used their consoles as media servers. They've probably never done any data collection on...

No, there was an interview with one of the show's producers and he said that Hamsterdam was based on something that actually happened in Baltimore, that got squashed when people found out (though not the press, like in the show). They got it from one of the consultants they used who was a...

Since so many decks run cards that do nothing but remove minions, I'm running a zero-minion mage deck. Lost to a Warrior who armored so many times that fatigue killed me first, we both ran out of cards. But it seems to give me some natural card advantage and limits their responses, probably due...

Can't believe how fast tools are developing for Hearthstone. There is an app that grabs info from your stream to the Hearthstone servers and compiles win/loss stats for you. All these websites popping up... crazy stuff.

This, very much this.

I don't have Velen or Rag, but Artosis's Priest deck from the tournament is ridiculously good.

Guess the obvious question is what kind of deck are you playing?

I lose to Priests just outhealing and using card draw to always have a response a lot. If they get a bad draw I nuke them down though.

What classes do you think are strongest in arena? I'd probably put Priest, Mage, Warrior, and Paladin near the top. Obviously it always depends on what you draft, a Warrior with no weapons doesn't usually do very well. Warlock and Hunter near the bottom. Not sure about the rest. Also do you...

I can find obscure films that that pre-date home video (i.e., they had limited theatrical releases on reels and nothing else) online. Granted not everything is online, but most movies are. And if it has been released on DVD it almost certainly is. Really doesn't take anything but time and bandwidth.

Don't think the odds of Wizards doing anything like that are very high. As a company they have missed a lot of good opportunities. Also the original MTG in Alpha wasn't much more complex. It was more complex, but not a lot. But as far as being competitive goes, Hearthstone is shiny and...

I like his Priest deck actually. Also the rush-to-kill first Mage deck is pretty interesting. Debating if I should craft a legendary or not, I have enough dust for one and Rag is used in so many top-end decks.

There were some close games, but SW:P mostly kept the board clear. My one loss was to a Rogue who played nothing but minions that spawned other minions. If I'd had a Holy Nova or something it would have been fine.

Finally went 9-1 in an arena, but I don't think it counts. I drafted 8 mind controls and 6 SW:P to keep me alive till I could use them. There really needs to be some kind of limit like in constructed.

Lululemon founder says | Hiit Blog Yoga pants are a thin privilege, mostly because fatties buy sizes that are to small and overstretch them.

Well I imagine in most cases the stuff people upload is maxed out 60s. But you could ask someone here who is at roughly the progression point, has to be someone, to give you a save file close to where you were. I'd do it but I don't have the console version.

On an unrelated note I am doing pretty well in constructed with my Mage deck. I was running the deck that won one of the Managrinds and it felt a little inconsistent and I wanted to explore having a pure-spell deck. Been tinkering with it all day and starting to get a really solid win rate. Only...

Yeah. So 2014 and 2015? Got the launch window and first year predictions.

Just remember Microsoft's fiscal year is July to June and Sony's is April to March. So "end of December" is Q2 for Microsoft and Q3 for Sony. That shouldn't have an impact on picking an end date, of course, but it could be confusing.

Apparently there is a bug where you can lock the timer. Maybe they are trying and failing to pull it off? It involves letting the timer get almost to zero and then playing certain cards. Once you pull it off just afk until your opponent leaves. Stupid.

Well as I see it you have launch day (pre-order argument certainly should only include this number), sales up to and including Black Friday, holiday sales (up till New Years, gotta include the post-Christmas sales). Should be one of those. Probably easiest to get numbers for the first and last...

Didn't know about Trump's draft guide, that is pretty handy. Advice isn't terribly different from what I've been doing, but still handy.

I wish I knew someone else who was in beta. Was watching Day9's prep for the tournament he got invited to and the fact that he just had a world-class card guy he could call and talk to about his arena drafts and what not was pretty awesome. I am still losing pretty often in arena and I figure it...

Yeah, I got a Malygos in my last arena and I haven't drawn that yet. Also lost to a Malygos in constructed in a Druid deck... he put it out and next round took me from 25 > dead with boosted spells. Ouch.

Outside of reading and video games, most of my leisure time is spent on partner dancing. I also play the piano. Kind of getting into swimming because I happen to be dating a swim instructor and it is a really good workout.

It is infinite based on statistics, that is what the sigma notation in the wiki article is telling you. That is the point of the problem... foddon is right about why all those other games are not infinite. They are programmed/designed to be non-infinte, no matter what. Which is precisely why...

Doing pretty well with with a warrior deck using weapons for board clearance and an aggro mage deck. I suck at arena though. Haven't gotten more than 3 wins, though in fairness I kept picking classes I still needed to level and hence had very little experience with. Still worth the D3 money I...

That works. The issue is there is a lag with the online save vs local, so it is like trying to hit a moving target. But if you're always at zero doesn't matter.

But the premise of the problem, mathematically, is that the game has an infinite value. But as long as the game has an infinite value, itnever actually ends.That is what the math tells you. You can't have the infinite value without having the game never end. Missing the premise of the...

He footnotes his work, good. Go read the actual studies, turns out he is making a standard error: correlation is not causation. The studies he references in no way support the conclusions he draws from them and the studies themselves usually don't even state a conclusion similar to the one he...

What never made sense to me about this problem is the expectation that you can somehow keep playing indefinitely. Assuming the Casino is behaving rationally, running a game that has a potentially infinite payout would be nonsensical. They'd limit the number of flips so the potential was...

Those are the poor Asian countries (for the most part). Fantastic food though. Actually those are the Asian countries where most people who have money are white people who retired there because they can live like kings on a relatively small amount of money. I knew a guy who made money off of...

Those are roughly the same as the current, with the distribution changed. But I'm expecting an economic recovery/growth in large portions of the world over the next five years to account for the overall decrease in console gaming vs other markets. The current generation had numerous recessions...

Which is kind of the purpose of peer review. Another reason claims made by personal trainers are highly suspect, if a doctor or scientist publishes a study with bad methodology, data, or conclusions, it'll be evaluated by their, equally knowledgeable, peers and the study will be replicated to...

I made a prediction a few months ago, before a lot of new details were out, that by the end of the generation it'd be 85 million to 75 million PS4:XBone. I'll revise that a bit. December 31st of next year: 9-12 million PS4s solds, 3-5 million XBones. PS4 will have outsold XBone in the US by...

Roasted garlic is sweet. Garlic ice cream is actually delicious. So that is quite doable. The flavor also mellows considerably, which helps. A lot of garlic festivals have a contest for best garlic dessert, it is a thing. Surprisingly Sweet Garlic Desserts - Toronto Garlic Festival
