To be fair, I'd fire most of the VG team in a parking lot too. The class design guy can stay. SOE itself could have used a few good rounds of parking lot firings a decade ago.

Just watch out for that asshole pirate in OOT :D

Gama updates. August 10th is commander 2018, and they say they're upping the power level of the reprints in the sets, so hopefully less shitty lands/ramp. Transformers CCG presentation, but the contents are confidential.

It's always amused me that everyone complained about bard being carpal-tunnel back in the day... when that's just how every class in MMOs operates now. Poosh bottan non-stop!

They overprinted Netrunner 1.0 into the ground, in an attempt to "fix" the problem with Magic at the time (product shortages). Game was worthless within a week of coming out, just pallets of it rotting everywhere, which made it difficult to convince people to jump in, as back then people were...

Last two Magic sets Garfield was on design for were pretty great (Ravnica 1, Innistrad 1), and the 100+ cards that got leaked for the next set he's designer for (Dominaria) are pretty interesting too. As long as he's not in full "what if" mode he does good work. Which is true of most "idea"...

I'm going to line my sagas up on the right side of my playmat like a monster.

Oh shit man can't wait for them froglok monks yo!

Did he have the mini-fridge down there already?

Why waste resources on the hard-to-develop-for mode, when you can just focus on the current cash cow and come crawling back to the PVE side after That Dragon Cancer Battle Royale comes out and the viewers/players move on?

Watching people rage that it's not F2P has already provided more than enough entertainment for me to feel I owe them money. At least half of my friends screaming about it on facebook have spent $400+ on Hearthstone this year, with no chance of recouping their money.

On the plus side, you'll just always be able to sell the ones you open for $10-15 because of EDH players.

Ended up picking up a box of Dominaria for $69 using the coupon, thanks for the heads-up Ronne.

The Ice Age saga is cute. Ice Age was about the time I finally convinced my parents that Magic was a good Christmas/Birthday gift idea, so that's when my collection actually started to expand to "building functioning legal decks" level :D

I feel like they got the Conspiracy designers to make some of these legendaries. Some really cool designs.

Dominaria Leak They were on top of this pretty darn quick.

There's like 36 legends in this leak alone. Jeebus.

Dominaria FAQ leaked in China. Looks pretty neat. Legendary Mox that produces mana based on the Mana Symbols in the costs of your other Legendary Permanents. So if you've got a Sliver Queen out it taps for any color of mana, but otherwise it's constrained. Inverted-Fading with a Level-Up...

Probably going to try this out. Agnarr opening was pretty dang fun until the premade group collapsed in a heap within 30 hours. Managed to make it the rest of the way up with folks in Faceless helping to form ramshackle groups out of the remnants of other leveling teams where members had just...

Apparently, according to Maro, Tree of Redemption was a last minute replacement for print, facing many restrictions. Since those restrictions are likely Set #, Rarity, and Card Type, that means it was most likely Tarmogoyf, Thrun the Last Troll, Titania, Protector of Argoth, Ulvenwald Hydra, or...

Khans was super profitable to draft between fetchlands and having a local store where somehow only 2-3 people realized lands were pretty much always your high picks despite drafting 2-3 times a week. Hooray for people who just internalized BREAD and never thought to adjust for format quirks.

If this, C17, and Iconic Masters are their bold new direction for "themeing," I would kindly ask them to go back to lazy themes like Color Pairs, as they seem to do that significantly better.

Obviously drafting B/R and beatin down with Balduvian Hordes and Ihsan's Shades yo.

Somehow we managed to have both "Iconic" masters *and* Nostalgia Masters without a Shivan Dragon. Sad day.

Glad to see a Relic reprint, with this shit being in Walmart the prices of any rare in the set are going to be bombed, and I want like, 9 more of those :D

I'm pushing for Chimeric Idol to be in Crucible's slot on the crunch, because it was fucking boss in its day, and because the rage will be splendid. Allied Manlands are going to see a nice price bump now that they're crunched out of the set. That is until April, when on announcement day they...

Even Timmy can love Smokestack with enough Rancors and Weatherseed Treefolk!

Saboteur was hilarious in PVP. People didn't notice you were marking them up since the Combo-Point Builders did next to no damage, then suddenly they get 50-75% of their healthbar blown off. The salt was wonderful.

Guy Who Bitched for Five Straight Hours Wins Board Game at Last Second This is entirely too accurate.

I love EDH, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being a net negative for Magic's competitive health and profitability in the long run.

Everything's an EDH set now.

Rishadan Port at Rare instead of Mythic is reasonably surprising.

The Western MMO genre didn't die, it just spread into every other video game genre, corrupting them with a creeping wave of dailies, gear grinds, fashion-as-end-game, always-online and recurring revenue streams.

Recruiter reprint probably has a few folks tearing phonebooks in half

Obviously you just make it so that Gear gets weaker the more players have it, so that you incentivize people to hide infoz :)

1) You are not a chosen hero of destiny. 2) Tab Target Combat to enrage people on the internet who quit every MMO after 30 days anyway. 3) EVE-style progression, with the ability for people who join later to grind EXP up to whatever the current server EXP level is to catch up. 4) Abilities have...

I worked for AEG. I demand an Exploding D10.

Obviously server's up 24/7, how else are you supposed to make it to level 10 by 2019?

7,400 Hours in Rift, Not Installed. Oof.

1. Civ IV 2. Civ V 3. Stellaris 4. Endless Legend 5. Civ VI 6. Witcher 3 7. Fallout 4 8. Marvel Heroes 9. Magicka 10. Torchlight Pretty sure I accidentally left a computer on overnight with stellaris running a couple times in order for it being higher than Endless Legend/Civ VI to make sense...
