    I think they're saying early in the new year for open beta. But I also read that anyone who opted into the beta prior to Monday the 16th should have received an invite (check spam folders).

    Nice! I don't have any Golden Legendary cards yet.

    Pretty much what I thought. Leeroy works really well in the Warlock rush deck as a finisher. Abusive Sergeant is actually a good call. It's a terrible first turn one drop but combos really well. Most warlock rush decks run the same 24ish cards and just tweak around the margins. For...

    Mind posting his specific deck if you know it? I know that aggro rush Warlock decks all rely on the same core cards but curious to see how he's tweaked it.

    And holy hell, the meta is back to aggro rush in a hardcore way again. Way to go Blizzard.

    I'm playing something similar right now but top out at 5 mana and having really good results too getting into rank 9. Warlock aggro is extremely strong right now and it's constant pressure on the opponent.

    Pulled the trigger. Disenchanted my Malygos, a Golden Cobra, Farsight, and Unleash the Hounds for Sylvanas. I'm one of those funny collector types. I HATE disenchanting cards that I don't have extras of. I'm the type of person who is always thinking "this card is useless to me now but...

    Well the mage nerf went life within the last hour. The only upside, for me, was my Golden Cone of Cold disenchanted for 400 Dust. On a whim I spent my gold on a pack and opened Malygos. Really tempted to DE him and King Mulka and grab Sylvanas. Malygos is REALLY situational and King Mulka is...

    Completely agree. You said it much better than I did.

    And my counter is that they went about nerfing freeze in the worst and laziest way possible. The frustrating mechanics of freeze remain in place but the individual cards got nerfed. I guess it's a lot easier for Blizzard to knee jerk react to forum whiners than sit down and actually address...

    Hearthstone

    Arcane Explosion + Frost Nova + a LOT of restrictions and limitations. Let's not forget that last part of the equation. The max it can ever hit is 3 targets and that limitation can be exploited with stealth minions or Faerie Dragon style minions (yeah the only other one is a random from Ysera...

    The problem with the Freeze nerfs is that they were actually pretty balanced for their cost prior to the nerf. Let's look at the 2 damage AOE spells: Blizzard: 5 Mana, 2 Damage to only minions, freeze Holy Nova: 5 Mana, 2 damage to all enemies (includes the opposing hero) and 2 healing to...

    I'm terrible at Arena. My best was 8 / 3 but I normally average about 3 / 3. I keep doing it hoping to get that perfect draft but hasn't happened yet. Not too happy with the Mage nerfs. I don't think they were thought through at all and are simply knee jerk reaction to all the whiners who...

    Here's the link to Noxious's youtube video. I don't see this exact deck all the time (there are 4 Legendary cards in it after all) but I see a lot of decks based on this philosophy. The reason I like Noxious is because he seems down to earth and explains his choices pretty well. He also shows...

    Hearthstone

    Yeah, the meta completely changed within the last 48 hours to completely stomp over Mages. In my opinion, Noxious is on of the better youtubers/streamers out there and he posted a Paladin deck that will defeat mages 90% of the time. He's not taking credit for it since someone fed him the deck...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Honestly there are two big reasons that the 360 dominated the FPS game scene last generation: 1. Microsoft paid a shitload of money to 3rd parties to ensure that addons and map packs were released on the 360 a couple weeks before other systems and 2. The 360 controller was superior for FPS...

    Hearthstone

    I played a rogue in back to back games. I won the first. Second game it came down to one final turn. It was simple, if I cast the Flamestrike in my hand, I won the game. If I didn't cast it, I lost. So what do I do? Well obviously I cast the Archmage Antonidas that was glitched behind the...

    I've had my PS4 since launch day (from Amazon with the typical terrible packing job but everything works on it). Bought COD: Ghosts and had an offer from Amazon to buy 1 get 1 free so picked up Assassins Creed IV and Battlefield 4. Beat Ghosts in a couple of days and have been playing AC4 for...

    This just in, people sitting in an anonymous setting and playing a game on the internet are assholes. There will be follow ups to this shocking story as more details emerge. Personally the only time I go the "AFK" route is when the person is being a complete douche to me and starts to spam...

    A well crafted Paladin deck is a hard counter to Mages too. Especially with Guardian of Kings (5/6 with Battlecry: Restore 6 health to your hero), Truesilver Champions for minion removal/healing, Lay On Hands (8 health and 3 cards). Consecrations are useful for taking out Mirror Images and the...

    Hearthstone

    I played a series of 5 mages in a row. A warlock. Another Mage. I'm not, quite, on the nerf mages bandwagon but they are obviously a FOTM class right now (which stinks because that's what I primarily play).

    Hearthstone

    One other thing to note. The game "remembers" if you are on a winning streak or not. I closed out of the game, went out for a bit. When I came back and played another game, I won and it gave me the bonus stars for being on a win streak.

    Hearthstone

    Played for about an hour and won all the games I played (I'm a stinky mage so I simply use the auto deck builder, close my eyes and randomly click things and win). It was enough to get me to 2 star Shield Bearer (rank 20). The first ranks each have 2 stars. The second level of ranks have 3...

    I really wish they would add the following 2 emotes: "Hurry the F up!" and "You had 2 cards in your hand and it still took you 10 minutes to decide to assassinate my Archmage Antonidas?"

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    Colton was just pathetic. Look at Cochran. He's the nerdiest, least physical guy you could ever come up with. His first season he fought like hell to survive. Last season he won it all in a perfect game (no votes to evict and all votes to win). He was sunburnt to hell and miserable but he...

    Julie Chen was interviewed on David Letterman. In the interview she talked how casting found Aaryn and pegged her as "the girl next door" and "America's sweetheart." Now I understand that casting isn't going to be on the money every time but the way they completely blew it over this season's...

    What Made EQ Great? Tell your stories to a filthy casual

    I had a fairly decent computer at the time of EQ but even still I ran into FPS issues in large raids. I would always stare at the floor when healing on my cleric (after all I didn't need to see what was going on, I just needed to see health bars). Panning down to the floor would be like...

    What Made EQ Great? Tell your stories to a filthy casual

    On my Cleric I played first person (and was typically staring at the ground most fights). On my wizard I jumped between first and third quite a bit. As Xarpolis says, it's a lot easier to quad that way.

    Dark Souls 2

    Seath is easy. Especially if you take the time to get the Curse-Resistant Ring. The hard part is if you want the sword from him. His stupid tail loves to clip into the wall and become impossible to hack off. And, yes, the Anor Londo archers can die in a fire. Took me 3 hours to get past...

    As has been said, the appeal of a dating site is that everyone is there for the same reason: Meeting other singles. None of this getting stuck in the "friends zone" bullshit. Lots of people still meet others the old fashioned way but dating sites are a good way to gain access to a huge pool of...

    Venturebeat: Blizzard delays unannounced MMO until 2016, resets whole project

    Blizzard repeatedly said that it was WOW 2. Blizzard repeatedly said that it was a brand new IP and had nothing to do with their existing licenses (Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo and, presumably, Lost Vikings). Most speculation thought it was a First Person Shooter MMO but nobody outside of...

    True. I don't like him but he is playing the best game this season. He's only been nominated once and that was from Elissa who was determined to not waste her HOH (and was the only one to realize just how untrustworthy he is). It's a game that would have fallen apart most seasons but this...
