    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Man, not for me. The first time I quit WoW was over them. They were first added in their modern incarnation during the Burning Crusade and I went from being happy to have a way to farm cash to despising the daily busywork and the expectation that I log in each day and do it. By the time I was...

    Hearthstone

    As a spectator and spectator only I've had a good time watching Dog and Kripp play with the new cards but for this first week at least it doesn't look to be a healthy meta at all. In too many games all the decisions one player made up during the early and middle parts are entirely negated when...

    I can't even listen to the commentary for the big WotC hosted Magic the Gathering events. The coverage is too terrible. I'll take Yipes gibberish over just about anything in esports commentary.

    Exactly this. You can sell them on eBay and then ship the physical item with delivery confirmation (automatically included on all shipping methods these days) and it should be fine. You can mail them first class in a box for less than three dollars if you don't to just go with an envelope.

    How It Ends (2018)

    I read a book a while ago called One Second After that is about the effects of an EMP attack against the United States. Communications networks are down, power is down, everyone's electronics are fried, only the older mostly mechanical cars still work, etc. That premise, if you've got no money...

    Was it last year or the year before that they changed the top lane tower to make 2v1 lanes stop happening? "We want lane swaps to have an inherent risk and by risk we mean we want the LCS to look like solo queue so we'll make it so punishing to lose the first tower and the top tower so weak that...

    Feeling like you're got a chance whenever you sit down at the table opposite someone is a good thing and Magic the Gathering, for the most part, has that. Draw variance is a large component of that. Sometimes you've just got all the right cards or your opponent has all the wrong cards or make...

    For figs that aren't quite to scale you can put them on a base that actually does represent their size.

    This story stuff is fine and all but I'm really more concerned about seeing the class I boosted already have nerfs on the way.

    League will be forever dead to me when that day comes. Some of us geezers need characters where you just mouse over something and push a button and the thing happens.

    They should launch League of Legends Classic with the game exactly as it was right after Udyr was launched. New players need training wheels for the genre! Small roster! Point and click abilities! League of Legends Online Adventures, it's time to slay the baron.

    I think it was though. League of Legends had a box release at Walmart and Target even. It was just as much for everyone as World of Warcraft. Over time it has grown into a very complex esports juggernaut and become much less the derp party game. There's nothing wrong with that but it's...

    That's a bit odd with League of Legends if you think about it. It was the first game for a bunch of us, at least this kind of game. Defense of the Ancients was niche and difficult to get started with while League was that style of game but accessible. This was the first big esport title for a...

    Randomness as how the players interact with each other and all of the different ways that could play out isn't really randomness. It's a complex system in which all of the interactions between variables make predictions impossible and the final outcome opaque. That can create some really...

    Mana issues as a means of giving less experienced players a chance at victory is a horrible argument for that mechanic and I'm surprised to see anyone put it forward.
