    Hearthstone

    Blizzard's statistics, over months and months of games, have consistently shown that going first wins about 52% of the time (prior to the coin it was over 60% and they're happy with the slight difference). They also acknowledge that there are some decks that benefit from going second with the...

    Hearthstone

    I actually win most of my games against Priest. The problem is that it's a soul shattering experience and it almost always goes into Fatigue with the Priest having an empty hand and me having a few things on the board to apply enough pressure to seal the deal. But 30 minute games are rough...

    I've been playing KitKatz control warrior all season. The only change I made was to sub out one Acolyte of Pain and the Faceless for 2 Blood Knights since I was running into SO much Zoo and Paladin Shockadins. I don't miss the one Acolyte at all and the Faceless is hit or miss. The games I...

    Dark Souls 2

    I actually just started DS1 again for kicks. By this point the game is a bit clunky and dated but still holds up. I just forgot how much of a "fuck you" the game is though. God I hate Blight Town and then Sen's Fortress. Both zones are designed to kill you over and over and over again...

    Fable: Lost Chapters is, easily, the best in the series. They did a phenomenal job with the game and it's definitely worth the sale price. The sequels pretty much suck though.

    Titanfall

    This is, exactly, why multiplayer "campaigns" don't work. It's a fun game but I'm constantly getting into matches where I'm being put up against full groups of level 40 to 50 players who just slaughter my team of level 1 - 5's. If EA hoped that this would get me to buy the game, they are...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    From what I remember from past sales, all of the discounted sale prices (i.e. Daily, Community Choice, Flash) are the same so you've got 3 and a half hours from the time I post this to pick it up. I don't think it will go lower than 75% off. Odds are that it will be a Daily sale at some point...

    I'm thinking about picking up The Walking Dead Season 2 for $12.49 as a daily deal. It's not going to go lower this sale but I just don't know if I want to spend the money on it right now.

    Hearthstone

    It's not a bad card but it's not a great one either. With only 30 cards in a deck, I just can't see the justification for swapping something out for this card.

    Heh. Just created a European account to kill some time since NA is down. My free pack for getting a Hero to Level 10 had Cenarius in it.

    I think outright disqualification is appropriate. Make an example of him and let the tournament community know that cheating will not be tolerated. The board state is 100% irrelevant in my opinion.

    Some of the DLC, particularly in ME2, is pretty much essential to fully understand the story (like the Shadow Broker DLC and the Reaper prelude one). With that being said, having the full trilogy on my PS4 is a pretty tempting proposition.

    That's a cute vid with Trump but the second game was his to lose but he got greedy. He really should have kept the board clear. Rogues just have too much burst potential. Obviously he forgot about the coin but even so I think the better plays would have to been keeping the board clear.

    Dark Souls 2

    For Melee, Pursuer and the Smelter demon are, probably, the two hardest bosses in the game. Dark Souls 2 simply has a LOT of bosses. Many of them are really boring and not difficult at all.

    My 360 has been collecting dust for well over a year now. My PS3 is seeing more playtime than ever before though and that's unlikely to change in the near future. I don't regret buying a launch PS4 but they need to get some games out for it. E3 looks promising but still a few months out at a...

    Hearthstone

    I'd go so far as to say that the Priest card is the best card we've seen from Naxx so far. However, by itself, it won't magically fix Priest but it should help them out a bit. Priest still have too many "legacy" issues such as the 4 attack weak spot and their over-reliance on using opponent's...

    Hearthstone

    Correct. Warlock Rush and Zoo are completely different decks and playstyles. The core 20 cards are the same between the two decks (typically) but those last 10 or so will completely alter how the deck is played and what the win conditions are.

    Hearthstone

    You, obviously, don't want to Hero Power when you can actually play something in a Aggro Deck but the ability to restock your hand after dumping everything on the board is a huge advantage that no other class can do as well as Warlock. Warlock Hero Power is the reason why Zoo is so effective...

    Hearthstone

    Warlock Rush is MUCH better than Paladin Aggro. And, I dare say, it's more consistent too. Warlock Hero Power is flat out broken in my opinion. This is offset by the fact that many of their class cards are downright terrible but there's no comparison that they have the best Hero Power in...

    The posted Aggro Pally deck list doesn't include any Equalities or Consecrations. In other words, it's full retard (go for the face every time and completely ignore the board when you don't need to). Equality and Consecrate forms one of the most powerful combos in the game (Avenging Wrath +...

    Hearthstone

    The thing with Paladins is that any deck you make with them, another class can make a similar deck only better. If you want to play rush, Warlock or Hunter is the better way to go and both are cheap as fuck to make (yeah if you're just starting out you only have dust / cards enough for one real...

    Man, this thread isn't big enough for your ego... With that being said, and just for curiosity's sake, go ahead and post your deck. If you get laughed at it's all because we've been there before and, probably, had the same thought as to why we thought a card was really good when, in reality...

    One of my biggest concerns with Virtual Reality headsets is that I wear glasses. I know I'm not alone in the video game community and I just hope that these headsets will function properly with someone who wears glasses. When I go to see a 3D movie, I feel that those crappy 3D glasses and my...

    Frenzic, something I've said earlier in this thread but I really think it applies to you. It's important to realize that you're not going to win every game. What is important is to learn from those mistakes and get better at the game. There are two types of people. The first type loses a...

    Depending on how new the story for Mass Effect 4 is, I really hope they let us go through and pick and choose what our previous choices were from the original trilogy. All of my saves are on my 360 but I know I'll be getting it for my PS4. Or they may just go "this is what the canon version...

    Tales of Xillia isn't bad if you like JRPGs. It's a really long game though that tends to drag at certain points. Every time you think you're nearly done, they throw something at you to extend it.

    I finally found out how to win against Miracle Rogue with the newer version of Control Warrior (runs only 1 Armorsmith and 2 of the 4/3 charge guys). Armoring up is the most important thing. For most of the game it will be a near empty board so if you have the choice between playing a card or...

    The durability issue bothered me a lot more on my first time through. Since then it hasn't really affected me too much. The one spot that I do get a bit concerned with Durability is when I finally reach Duke's Dear Freja since there is so much trash. Luckily she's an easy boss if you summon...

    The player doesn't get to choose what demon goes into play. It's random. And that's a good thing because we don't want the opposing player holding the game "hostage" on their opponent's turn.
