    I'm still in the car seat phase and I'm dreading the dating phase (which I think coincides with the teen years).

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Isn't that what the thread in the book section of the forum is for? I thought this thread was only for the show as it relates (or doesn't) to the books?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Book better come out earlier than that or there is zero chance the books will be finished before the show's run is over.

    That Shade card is good, problem is early board clears (consecrate/swipe) do weaken it. It would suck to waste a consecrate if it's the only minion on the board. Rivendare + Egg combo could give you nice board control by turn 5. I wonder if it's going to be like you can get all 30 cards in...

    Mine usually wants to get tucked in to the point where you barely see her head but then when you check on her an hour later she's kicked most of them off.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Only issue I can see is if the show concludes before the last book is written and in a way 'spoilering' the ending it's going to piss a ton of people off (book readers). I fully believe HBO will stick to their guns about a 7 or 8 season show since they never have any show go beyond that no...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If it plays out the same way as in the books, it just won't have the same impact as it did in the books. When Dontos gets shot up with arrows, it was a little bit of a 'that's fucked up' moment since you knew he worshipped Sansa and would do anything to get her out but it cost him his life in...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    One season that's only 10 episodes to cover the entirety of two books (season 5) means a shitload of stuff is going to left out. I mean, I understand it but it's disappointing.

    Not an accusation , didn't Selmy sit on the counsel when Robert asked Varys about Jorah.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The only issue is the plausibility of it as far as Dany is concerned (most on here don't care for Dany so I wouldn't expect that many to give a shit anyway). In the book the reason Selmy doesn't reveal his identity is to earn trust with her. In the show his identity is already known but I...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It'll be interesting how they deal with that. Mormont was exiled after he uncovered that Arstan was Barristan Selmy. At that point Barristan tells Dany that Mormont was put there to spy on her. I wonder how the show is going to explain why Barristan didn't come right out and tell Dany about...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Season 5 and 6 I would think would be a combo of Feast and ADWD since they are both happening at the same time. Which means that only leaves one season for Winter and the last book? That doesn't make any sense. Here is the quotes about the show only going 7 seasons. 'Game of Thrones' team...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I can see the tv viewer getting confused as hell if Dontos is the one smuggling Sansa to Littlefinger's boat since there is literally no context in the show for why. I was actually surprised they brought him back.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Good first episode. Would of been nice if Oberyn was in the greeting party (as it was in the book) then in a whorehouse but HBO's gotta get that titty quota per episode. Hound/Arya were excellent, Daario is bad though. Has zero charm than the character in the books and Dany's dry ass dialogue...

    A lot of people in this thread have younger kids/babies and it reminds me of when my daughter was a baby, which doesn't seem that long ago. And now here we are where she'll turn 7 on Sunday. They really do grow up so fast.

    I think the only reason for the specs though is that it can play games. I've got a Roku3 and I've never had any sort of issues with the hardware. I agree with you though that like the Kindle Fire, it's just another device to drive people to buy from Amazon. Problem is there are other devices...

    I'm always interested in scenarios like this and how it happens. In this case, are you saying your son was in the car and both adults then get out of the car without the kid, then close the doors? Why would they close the doors (locked or unlocked) while the child was still in the car?

    Hearthstone

    Except even in that scenario you still need minions already on the board, where as I went from zero board presence , with basically zero cards in hand, to winning the game. Even if he had two taunts up he still would of lost due to the double UTH. If I would of drew Leroy instead of the...

    Here is a good example (and I did it so I'm not complaining). Late game, I'm playing as hunter losing 12-2. I've got only one card in hand (random beast), no minions on the board. He's a priest and got 4 minions on the board (1 taunt) and 4 cards in hand. He couldn't quite finish me off but...

    Amazon Fire TV

    Seems the only thing that makes it better is that it has games (apps) which I would think most who want a roku/apple tv are not getting it for that but for the streaming content. I agree, no HBOGo already puts it at a disadvantage but it's probably a matter of time before it gets it.

    Yea I don't think the movie is that great either, but my soon to be 7 year old sure does and that really all that matters. My daughters weekend morning ritual now is to get on the computer and watch Frozen youtube videos, despite the fact she's seen the movie twice in theatres, owns the blue...

    The Walking Dead

    I thought it was good. Although it didn't feel like a 'season ending' episode, just another character development one (rick). One nitpick is if he was burying those weapons outside of Terminus, it would of made more sense to keep one person (Michonne or Daryl) outside until they gave the all...

    What I've noticed also is most of these players have to be newbies that just copied the deck but don't know how to play because for most of them, they only play for that combo, no matter what. I've had a few matches where hunters 'forced' the combo on turn 5 even if there is only one minion on...

    Hearthstone

    The issue as I see it any combo UTH + wolf + hyena (or buzzard) is almost always a backbreaking, game changing play for very little mana cost. What other combo is out there that can affect the board in such a way for only 5 mana? That being said, I haven't had as much of an issue playing (and...

    Did Blizzard run their physical card game prior to Hearthstone? How often was there updates to that? I know it's not really a good comparison though.

    I've always understood it to be one star per rank. Rank 11 = 14 stars. Rank 25 - 21 are two stars (10 stars). Rank 20 is 3. So 10+3+1 would take you to rank 19. Actually, it's better explained here under season reset. Play mode - Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft Wiki I don't think...

    I beat a hunter rush last night with my Druid deck but I had a really good draw. I just played really conservative early, single minions per turn while clearing his board at the same time. Once it got it turn 6 I had him with coin into Ancient of war, then turn 7 faceless copying the Ancient...

    Hearthstone

    Right and the reason so many people get chapped is a relatively new player can climb up ranks really fast with hunter rush whereas a player that's been at this for awhile has to basically play one and only one deck (that's expensive to boot) to succeed at the same clip. It's the main reason why...

    Low cost, low barrier of entry deck which is dominating the ladder and can only be effectively countered by a deck that is high cost, high barrier of entry. If that isn't the definition of imbalance, I don't know what is.

    Hearthstone

    The mistake I see a lot is once you get the opponent down to say, 15 then panic starts in and they whip out argus to throw two taunts at you (usually on two lower mana minions which of course won't have much defense to begin with). All that does is keep more minions on the board for UTH. Lately...

    Hearthstone

    I agree that it's an overpowered card in the current meta. Blizzard's thinking is probably they'd rather create cards that combat it directly (better taunts or more secret counters) then just nerf the card. The current problem (and I'm guilty of it too when I play my hunter rush deck) is that...
