    No individual keys, they have moved to that lump-Steam-gift system or however they are doing it now. Those are some great games though. I have all but Giana and Guacamolee and it's still worth it. If you're missing those others, go for it! Edit: Actually, just bought it, and each game is...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Anyone know the best place to preorder this? Newegg has a $5 promotional credit when you get it but that's all I could find. Steam, GMG, etc. have pretty well spoiled me on games so that seems shabby

    Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians - From FF Tactics and Vagrant Story designer

    Yea. And people can throw money at them down the line it looks like. Unlikely it'll explode later if it hasn't by now but can always dream of New Game+ and co-op :P

    Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians - From FF Tactics and Vagrant Story designer

    Sad that this hasn't been one of the random games to explode on Kickstarter. Really wanted PC and some of those stretch goals. I'll still grab it when it comes out for whatever platform though.

    Heroes of the Storm

    I used the WC3 mapmaker as well. There are alternatives to the way it was done, perhaps not as advanced as are possible in a custom engine, but there were. Same with denying, people thought it was hard coded into WC3 but it is incredibly easy to disable, I had it disabled in my own ghetto moba...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Last hitting (and denying) were not limitations of the War 3 map maker. They both could have been done differently. Same with League.

    Transformers 4: Baylicious

    The third one is ok if you pretend the other two didn't happen. Which is easy since they aren't referenced in almost any way and the third creates huge plot holes in the other two, so even the third is trying to pretend the others don't exist.

    League Of Legends

    There is a MMR in normals too you know. My normal rating is actually higher than my ranked rating has been since that's mostly what I play, I fight roughly high plat/low diamond players in normals and low plat/high gold in ranked.

    That only happens if you actually let the fuse run out twice. It's pretty limited.

    Smartphones

    Paying full price for a phone is only worth it for going contract-less. If you're stuck using contracts, paying retail for a phone is just the worst of both worlds. It's a shame that Tmobile is pretty much the only carrier with a non-shitty no contract plan right now.

    Smartphones

    Tmobile has spotty coverage in my office but great everywhere else in my area, and office has wifi so it's not actually even an issue.

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    I think the Sentinel is supposed to be a model one from the 70s? According to Reddit anyway

    Hearthstone

    The 30-card Hearthstone deck is actually almost as big as a Magic deck if you remove the lands (very few magic decks play with less than 20 lands, most play with more than that). Add in that in say a 36-40 card Magic deck you can have 4 copies of a card, and the Hearthstone card restriction of 2...

    Hearthstone

    A spell that does nothing but discard one card would be mostly garbage in Hearthstone. A goon that has a discard battlecry would be potentially way too strong. As a deathrattle it'd be more workable actually. I wouldn't be shocked to see it as a battlecry/deathrattle in the future when they look...

    Tomb Raider (X360/PS3/PC)

    I played it last year on my 560gtx and nearly everything was set to max (I think shadows and one other setting was 1 level below max) and had a solid 60+ fps the entire time. On what is really an outdated card. The Xbox one version has no excuse.

    Hearthstone

    It would have to be a random discard, since the entire game is designed on not having to react on your opponent's turn. It would sort of be equivalent to killshot or something like that, sometimes insanely good, sometimes garbage. Putting it on a goon seems like it'd be too strong unless the...

    You can silence frozen minions to attack with them, but yea that's about it. Rarely useful but it can be clutch once in a great while.

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    Jedi in everything are pretty stupidly powerful. Being able to see into the future to parry shots before they happen is strong, not to mention the god-level power of lightsabers themselves. The only thing that could bring down even a shitty (i.e. Luke) Jedi was another one. In the prequels you...

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    Are they using the body-makeup thing for Mystique in this X-Men like they did in X2 or is it more of a body suit? Because Lawrence's boobs are NOT that big and I would wonder how they did that :P Also Empire is, as it claims, a pretty huge movie magazine that I think is based out of the UK. I...

    I've played like the first part of the demo of Blackguards and it seems alright. I can see where it would put people off but I think I'll probably enjoy it as I get farther in.

    Yea I thought lands was fun back when in first made the rounds years ago. I can only imagine what kind of nonsense lands has access to now. Pretty much true of all deck types though I guess :P Isn't that basically the point of that creature? When I saw it I thought 'oh, bouncey enchantments...

    League Of Legends

    There are people throwing games intentionally to try and land in bronze as well, for the lols or some easy games or whatever. Which is misguided, since you'll be in bronze with almost the same MMR you had in S3. So you'll be bronze fighting against gold/plat/diamond or whatever players trying to...

    League Of Legends

    Yea the actual difference between a level 4 champion and a level 1 champion is the level 1 loses 100% of the time no matter the matchup. There's literally nothing you can do. Riven I beat more times than lose in lane and in games, with really any typical tops. Q is strong level 1 ability but so...

    I like it except I expect Trundle to get nerfed any week now. I've loved him top since.... way before his remake. Sad to see other people catching on :P

    League Of Legends

    The LCS is a weird mix of stagnant champs (Jinx, Lucian, Thresh, Mundo, Shyv) and totally mix-up champs (Morde, Teemo, Pantheon, Blitz, jungle Zed, Warwick). I don't even know what to bitch about anymore. I would actually almost say Riot is doing a good job on the nerfs and buffs aside from a...

    League Of Legends

    AP Jax isn't nearly as limited as that :P He's just much worse vs. bruisers than normal Jax. Which means right now it's hard to get away with. His AP ratios are insane and with LB/Nashor's he is pretty much full assassin mode.

    Poppy is very strong when she gets items. Which is the opposite of what you want in a support. Also, she's not very fun to play, unless you really just like trolling built into a champion. So yea, I don't know about that.

    I really wish there were more job-based tactics games out there. Like, any, besides FFT. Blackguard looks like it might be fun at least.

    League Of Legends

    I don't mind jungling much, I just feel bad for my team if I get stuck in that position (although I guess I have like 100% winrate with it in ranked in S3/S4 so wtf do I know). Support I actively hate. I don't like the champs in support, I don't like the laning phase as support, I don't like the...

    League Of Legends

    The whole perception of which role affects game outcome most is interesting, since there was a disproportionate amount of dedicated support players in challenger for most of last season (over 25% of frequent challenger players were support players according to the stats I saw), and people...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    This has nothing to do with the 'core' of the game, it's tied to literally ONE stat, which they could change if they weren't retarded (crit damage). The only reason hp totals are so high is because crit damage is so multiplicative that the hps are based on the assumption your crit damage will...

    League Of Legends

    Jax builds AD anyway though - at least at the high level play. It's exceptionally rare to see Jax with a Hextech or Guinsoo. Same with Poppy, Akali, Kayle, Katarina, and Eve, they all build almost exclusively AP or AD even though they have scalings for both, so the 'hybrid' is just built into...

    League Of Legends

    Hybrid pen is good for laning because Mage auto attacks are are significant source of damage before they get rolling with items and levels. They don't scale into late game though. That's really the problem with Hybrids, lategame. Everything works ok until you start hitting 4, 5, 6 item builds...

    It's the exact same cost and stats as Infinity Edge. The patch notes even said 'same stats as Infinity Edge' instead of giving the stats :P

    League Of Legends

    Sheen procs from Triforce are actually worse than Lichbane procs in most cases, on paper, since Triforce only scales with base attack damage, but LB scales with the AP you should be stacking with it anyway. The attack speed helps with BoTRK for sure, but that deals physical damage, so you need a...

    League Of Legends

    Her Q AP ratio is technically better than her Q AD ratio because if you stack AP vs. stacking AD, you'll have a lot more AP in the end (as much as 300 more depending on build), which equates to a lot more damage per cast on such a spammable spell. It's also why hybrid items are so bad typically...

    Hearthstone

    You can't just 'use pyro' to kill them is the problem, there has to be a trigger. Which in this case would mean either casting Pyro and ANOTHER spell AFTER Unleash, or not getting to swing with the hounds because unleash itself triggers pyro after they're summoned but before they can charge...

    Yea, as you see more and more cards, the differences in the class abilities and class cards becomes more obvious I think. I've only been playing like a month and I pretty much feel burned out on the game though, having spent no money on it. I'm not that interested in constructed and my arena...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    That's the problem, I WANT to play Diablo 3 but I really see no reason to use up my gaming hours on it when the expansion makes almost everything I do right now moot. I was considering trying to cash out some of my gear but it just doesn't even look worth it to do that.
