    Hearthstone

    Heh, yea, Arena Shamans seem to be getting some retarded luck recently I got hit by a Turn 5 Doomhammer followed by a TRIPLE Rockbiter on himself - I'd taken over 10 damage earlier in the game so that was GG.

    The Order: 1886

    Two pages back - and comparing them possibly having some issues with a new IP and comparing them against a company known for not risking new IPs is a tad silly. Hyrule Warriors was meh and we'll see how exciting Splatoon is. Hell, the entire WiiU platform is a joke as it stands even with the...

    Yea, Norm and Carrel I'd not thought of but actually seem plausible.

    The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

    Eight Comedians Who Could Replace Jon Stewart As Host Of 'The Daily Show' A few speculations I didn't think of that could be decent fits in there.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I used to feel that way for a very long time - had some that someone supplied for a party recently and really turned my opinion of them around. They're all franchises I think though, so good and bad ones likely exist.

    Gladiator fights coming to TV and such soon?

    And similarly some stuff like Column's stuff involve pinpoint accuracy in relatively small hit zones. (And I'd imagine with deep penetration - not familiar with the style but most "one hit kill" stuff falls into that type of hit)

    About to watch it - and why do I get the sinking feeling it's going to get even more forced on me to run it every single time.... thankfully we've got enough space and people each event for multiple games but still have to help with rules questions and such... sigh... I like the game, but I'm a...

    First I've seen that, first impression looks really prone to mistakenly hitting buttons. Already easy enough on small bezel phones with my tiny fingers - can only imagine that would be horrid for anyone with Frankenfingers.

    Gladiator fights coming to TV and such soon?

    Yea, if you read the article there's actually going to be sensors in the armor that actually record impact type and strength and have a scoring system (based on lethality of a strike with the same impact in a normal fight). So assuming they do scoring properly (i.e. 1000 pts is a kill or...

    Gladiator fights coming to TV and such soon?

    Depends on how light they keep the armor I'd imagine - if they manage to keep it in the 20-30 lb range where it's not much more than heavy clothing with good articulation it might be pretty close to authentic.

    Yea, last gen pretty much closed the gap though, the jumps this upcoming gen looks all in peripheral things like camera and antennae improvements. A plateau has pretty much been hit. At least IMO.

    Gladiator fights coming to TV and such soon?

    UWM - Unified Weapons Master: Gladiator duels with carbon-fiber suits | Digital Trends Sounds pretty fricking neat, can only imagine some "whoops we screwed up and someone died" cases though - but still conceptually really neat. I love the idea of LARPing and such and really fits in that...

    You sound like someone who's never had plenty of other bacon infused items that sound impractical at first but surprisingly (the first few times) work - like a bacon bowl. (note: not that I can even make too much damage on a bacon bowl, but they work well and add a great smokiness to what I've...

    The Order: 1886

    Yea, I'm hopefully that the episodic method works well for Revelations 2 - it really could be a move forward for many games to go that way - rather than "leaving something out for DLC" - episodic and having a cheap upfront cost really ends up being largely the same, but spreads the cost out in a...

    The Order: 1886

    Got that whole list pretty much spronk, except Telltale which I just can't get into for some reason - I need to give them another try though. (Plus some day I need to actually play my copy of GTA5, still have it sitting here unplayed - I know it'll eat a ton of time when I do start and can't...

    The Order: 1886

    Eh, I've found everything besides Lords of the Fallen to hold my attention enough to be worth spending $60 on, so I'm not THAT worried but we'll see maybe I'll have a #2.

    I'm sure it doesn't look that good, but I'm definitely giving it a shot first time it makes sense (maybe as part of the wife's birthday party food since it's a week after they introduce it on the 23rd).

    The Order: 1886

    To be fair, sometimes when the net gets a hold of something early, they run with the "general impression" to try to garner interest/show "impartiality" and sometimes it doesn't actually work out completely correct in the longrun. I'm not holding my breath, and being stuck with the purchase...

    Not from what she says on that implication. I do have my doubts on her honesty though.

    Eh, I'll have my own review for y'all soon enough, bought it digital earlier in the month (wife's excited for it [even after length news but I'd bought it previous] - figured it would let us both play - the gambit of digital on PS4) so I'm stuck getting it regardless. I'm not length obsessed...

    Alien 5?

    If anyone can do Aliens 2 (partial reboot please...) justice it's Blomkamp for any recent memory. Kreu - kinda easy just to say "its been 10-20 actual years" since... or spend a ton in CGI touchup/makeup.

    The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

    No, no, no... Conversation needs to go back to Hodgman, he needs to be the future of the show... TDS becomes a hybrid of Colbert and TDS - win and doesn't leave Larry an odd man out. Look at anyone and say who would replace the "feel" that TDS + Colbert had and come back with anything other...

    Amazon Echo - no thread yet?

    Yea, I heard about it pretty late (I pretty much made the thread a few days after I heard about it/tested it at Tony's) - seems like they've really got a supply vs. demand issue. Especially with the Prime coupon.

    Hearthstone

    Vald: If you're getting bored of a single deck, just log off and come back in a few hours - it'll be different in your tier. (Or switch to casual and get a truly random mix) There's not too many people running non-netdecks which would be more interesting, but the meta moves enough that if...

    Smallworld plays with 2 but it's really not strong with 2, I'd dissuade that recommendation if he's looking to PRIMARILY play 2 player.

    Yea, I loved my GNexus at the time, but going to the M8 from it was just ridiculous. And come next month or so you're going to have the 2015 options rolling out. (M9 looking crazy and I'm sure there will be some competition to them as well)

    I preordered mine (with the coupon - might vary without the coupon) on Feb 3 and it's expecting to ship Jun 17 - Jul 23 in My Orders right now. I'd expect your projected date is Summerish as well. And yea, I'd expect some potential for it to move around - my FireTV Stick was going to be like...

    I realize tied in with gambling - but for MD it was specifically the taxes on gambling winnings that caused the block - I'm sure Nevada doesn't care IF people gamble (duh) they just want to make sure they get their beak wet on it.

    Oh, also another "pre-answer" concept since you mentioned she GM'ed Pathfinder and you were considering CCG options - there is a Pathfinder CCG that has a fixed card pool and you "draft" adventures out of as a completely cooperative thing.

    Basically that's my entire wheelhouse of gaming (and honestly, many people's, few want a game they can't play without a full fledged group) - the real question to answer that though is a few things because those do vary heavily: 1) Game styles that work (i.e. are wargames blacked out...
