    Case in point. I just watched Trump lose to Patron Warrior. Trump was playing Paladin with nothing on the field and 1 charge on a Truesilver. Warrior had an empty board and 1 charge Death's Bite. He then played a Warson (CHARGE!), two Frothings and Whirlwind. 20 points of damage.

    Hearthstone

    I'm not sure I agree with him but Kibler thinks that Battle Rage is the card that puts Patron Warrior over the top. He makes some good arguments but I still think the problem comes down to charge mechanics being utterly broken. A good number of broken combos have been fueled by Charge...

    NBA 2015 Off-Season Thread

    Honest question because I don't pay much attention over there but: Will Lakers fans let the organization go through a multi-year rebuild plan or will the only thing that satisfies them be a contending team right now? It's always been my perception that Lakers fans are extremely impatient and...

    Yeah and today has been Patron Warrior every other match. It's really starting to catch on.

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    It's an easy choice for me since I have both of Keeper's books but I really like him in my party as the jack of all trades. His melee sucks but being able to put any ability on him is huge. Especially those abilities that you use for one, specific, fight and then throw back in the closet...

    Garnet event boss Rush was really easy. The hardest fight was the first actually. Steiner has a lot of hit points and you need to hold back for the rest of the bosses. But once I beat him in a fight I was happy with, the rest was a breeze.

    Yeah, Valefor is just a round of non-elemental damage. That's a dime a dozen. Carbuncle though is worth going after since it's AOE Reflect. I saw someone on Reddit say "mandatory" for some JP events but Reddit tends to overestimate actual difficulty of the game and they have a tendency to...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    I normally go the traditional route of finishing all dungeons on classic and then moving on to Elite. But I did Cloud's Memory Crystal Elite as soon as it opened up to break his level cap. My current team is Cloud with 6 Star Zankthingsword, Keeper with 5 Star Sentinel Grimoire, Tidus with 6...

    I'm up to 3,000 gold now. Expansion news sooner than later is ideal for me right now. But I've got this nagging suspicion that Blizzard thinks Brawls = Content and we won't see any new expansions for another 5 or 6 months. That would really suck.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Lunar: Silver Star Story is one of the most ported RPGs of all time. But the sequel was only on the Sega CD and PS1 to my knowledge. Loved those games though. One of my favorite Action(ish) RPG series of all time is Valkyrie Profile. I loved those games. The old Tri-Ace just made damn...

    Hearthstone

    Yeah the Brawls where we build decks under constraints will automatically be a lot more balanced simply because both players have to conform to the same rule set. Some weeks will be more fun than others but we shouldn't have this Nef vs. Rag garbage.

    Hearthstone

    I'll go on the record and say that I like Brawl as a concept. There are basically just two things people are complaining about: 1. Lack of rewards after the first pack. And it sounds like even this will go away at some point. There needs to be more incentive to play. 2. This week's...

    Hearthstone

    Brawl is a fun gimmick for about an hour and then it's simply boring after that. Especially with how unbalanced it is. Do it for the free pack and get it out. If you get Nef there's a good chance that your Rag opponent auto-concedes anyway.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I played through Xenogears years ago. I remember the first half of the game was pretty good. The second half wasn't very fun. It was 95% story and 5% game. It's obvious that there was stuff cut to get the game out. Overall I was left unsatisfied. I played through the entire Xenosaga...

    Hearthstone

    Third Brawl I got Rag. Had a perfect curve and the Nef player thought it would be a good idea to load up his board with minions. Included in those minions were one that reduced cost of spells and another that added like 2 spell damage. Went from an "oh crap" moment to an easy wipe when he...

    Hearthstone

    First Brawl I got Ragnaros. I conceded on Turn 3. Second Brawl I got Nef. Won that one on turn 6 or 7. I got a 0 cost Mind Control and used it on his 20/20 Golemagg. The Rag guy conceded right after that. I got a Golden Bane of Doom from my pack

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Possibly. I hated FF8 the first time I played it. I went back about 5 years ago and played through it again and it was a bit better but still not great. I really didn't like the story or the characters (Quistis is kinda hot but that's about it). I also feel that they perfected the Materia...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    10 and 10-2 were my favorites of the series. 13 was just weak. Great battle system but 3 games of really convoluted story and the extreme linear design. At any rate it's about fucking time for a 7 remake.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Yeah same. Destiny was awesome at first but it got repetitive and grindy. Then my lack of jellyhorn just pissed me off. I don't really see myself picking it up again after this much distance. I've got other games to play.

    I did the same. Unlocked Vivi and Garnet and then ran the Gold Dungeon. I finally broke Tidus' level cap and Wakka isn't too far behind. Vivi and Garnet are both in the really high 30's right now.

    I finished the Tidus Elite that gets you Firaja. Tried the last one before the Boss Rush but couldn't get past stage 3. I've gained SO many levels and my weapons are a bit more upgraded now so I'll give it another try soon. But we've got Garnet's event coming tonight to distract us further.

    When I looked through my account history, I spent more than i thought I did on the game. But most of my purchases were made back in Beta when card packs were worth a lot more. It was a great time to buy packs back when Blizzard was constantly nerfing cards. At one point I had like 15 Blood...

    I haven't played in weeks. It doesn't sound like HOW is all that great of an expansion. It sounds pretty repetitive and that loses fun quickly. And, yeah, I called Gjallahorn being stupidly OP months ago. Reading through the last few pages confirms that (Oh, Skollas is easy. Just get 3...

    It's not a super common variant of Warlock though. So even though a OTK variant is running around out there. It's rare enough to mulligan as though it's Zoo or Handlock. Whenever I see a Warlock I always assume Zoo. If it's Handlock I've got a couple of turns to draw into some answers...

    I just realized earlier that Locke's event only runs until the 9th. I was making steady progress through the Elites but once I saw that I wanted to make sure I gave the Red Dragon some attempts for the Phoenix summon. It took everything I had but I won. Didn't come close to mastering the...

    Pretty much this is why I've given up on it. Too many people with homo-erotic fantasies centered Curry and Thompson. They all believe that the Cavs should simply forfeit now to avoid having 300 to 2 point blowout losses (at halftime).

    Yes it does. You have tryhards who couldn't get to Legend all season think that they'll suddenly make it if they start playing aggro. Beginning of the season and end of the season look very similar.

    Defense wins championships and the Cavs have had the best defense in the playoffs so far. I'm not prepared to count them out yet.
