    Card Hunter

    For elf/human/dwarf max hp. Mage : 32, 40, 48 Priest : 40, 48, 56 Warrior : 48, 56, 64 The skills are an interesting mix - dwarf has probably the most interesting ones, where you dodge an attack and then take that attack into your hand, although elf has lots of movement shenanigans like...

    I went with dark neptunex2, green odin, horus, amaterasu, hades. It went pretty well, other than round one where I got 4 light ninjas and got beaten down to 1k hp in the first round by their pre-emptive attacks + regular attacks. I didn't go with dual dark hades because, um, heh ;p Last boss...

    Card Hunter

    That actually bugged me a bit with the randomness - two attempts not getting any of the armor destroyers until like round 10 and losing badly, one attempt getting it on turn one and blitzing them.

    Card Hunter

    Soo - race and class discussion ! I went with the boring combo of dwarf fighter, human priest, elf mage. I am seriously wondering if I would have been better off swapping the races for fighter and mage - my dwarf spends most of his time trying to get into position and/or chasing things...

    Yeah, what Sorrows said - also make sure to keep an eye out for other archangel lucifers and invite them to be friends. Also keep an eye out for people who run loki or persephone as leaders, that lets you get a bit more dps for when you don't need the survivability of dual archangels, and try to...

    Starting Malazan Series

    No, it doesn't. Some of the storylines are much easier to follow, but in terms of the complete thing, a large number of people still weren't sure what had happened immediately after reading the last book. Some people have trouble following a series for several thousand pages when they still...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    As a heads up for anyone that backed original sin at the $40 level, you should have an invite to the dragon commander beta. Dragon Commander is their non-kickstarter game that is coming out in the next month or two, it got thrown in as a kickstarter reward as well. It's kind of a cross...

    Magic DOTP 2014

    That's already been done, but it doesn't help you - there's a random seed tied to your usename or something like that, so when you get a new deck it will have the same cards as the first one.

    Spring 2013 Anime Thread

    Have you watched Index ? I am finding railgun a little distracting, given it's mostly a recap of stuff that already happened, mixed with stuff misaka did that had no impact on the resolution.

    Hmm, I was going to say that was a surprisingly depressing ending, having a 'lol jk, everything's fine' after the credits was a bit weaksauce.

    What book did you just buy?

    The Black Sun's Daughter series by MLN Hanover - tried the first one out and found it very readable, ended up getting and reading the rest of the series. It's urban fantasy tending a bit toward horror, mostly about demons and demonic possession. I found this series a great read overall, and will...

    Roguelikes and Roguelike-likes

    Personal opinions and whatnot aside, that claim struck me as a little outrageous. Crawl skills are stuff like fighting, swords, shields, dodge etc, which give passive multipliers and are the same across every 'class'. ToME has more interesting skills in any one quest unlockable skill tree than...

    The only ones that I can remember liking enough to not skip them were season 1 intros to mirai nikki and fate zero. Not sure how they'd fare without the accompanying visuals though.

    This game is pretty fun - here's a question though - what am I missing with the damn yappy dog ? On normal I just used a regen potion and walked up to it and killed it, but it's damage is crazy on hard, I don't get even close to halfway.

    The damage is already done - evolved orochi has too many hp for the cheapskate resolve teams at level 1. I wouldn't sweat it, level him up if you feel like it, the only reason not to is that he gets pretty crappy returns for the amount of xp you have to dump into him ( 350atk and 70rcv for 4mil...

    Hex PvE has no pay to win option, you can't buy PvE cards, only PvP ones. Also, formats like sealed and draft are pay to play, not pay to win. It's only constructed format where it's obviously pay to win. I wouldn't hype Scroll's lack of pay to win too much yet in any case - it's paid beta...

    Legend was pretty easy with mono blue ( used hermes/lakshmi ), and he dropped first time, so don't think I will bother with mythical. I agree that so many people swapping to their level 4 goemons is pretty annoying ;p

    Friend up a lot of hermes, enjoy victory ? ;p You want to get a siegfried at some point, so check out some of the farmable teams you can work toward for that, but don't focus on it too much - you never know how long it will be before two heroes shows up again.

    Yeah, I did it once to try it out. There's a button on the newly installed game before the tutorial that says something like 'migrate existing', you just click it, enter the ID of the character you previously saved with the 'Game data migration' option in the menu. It will get you to sign in to...

    It wasn't awful, but it felt really long. Had a few hugely eye rolling moments, like the black guy stealing tvs from wallmart 5 minutes into the zombie apocalypse, and the whole thing with israel and the singing refugees.

    They didn't know that the ocean adapation would work to survive the cataclysm at that time - the tech faction were allegedly going to piss off through the gate and blow it up once they left, leaving them all trapped on earth to be potentially wiped out.

    Went with red/white minerva, blue odin, green odin, amaterasu, hades and amaterasu. Was pretty straightforward but very slow, I won't be farming this one I think. Horus/Minerva *might* work but I had some pretty sketchy runs of heart orbs during the boss that would have sunk that team, so it...

    Yeah pretty much, it's talking about fitting it onto a 50GB blu-ray though. 4 disks with swapping isn't really a good experience for movie watching.

    You'd lose your money in this case. I do regret upgrading it though - the start screen is an abomination, as is the minimum level of protection requiring you to approve programs writing to ini files in their installed directory - I'm not even going to mention the default levels.

    I rate a solid 'meh'. It's ok, it's just missing so much depth and polish, after a few hours I don't really have an desire to play more. Will probably do so at some point, but just not feeling it currently.

    That usually means something has gone wrong with the permissions on the PAD folder. Is your device rooted ? If so just copy your data48 and data56 files out, reinstall it and then copy them back is probably the quickest way to sort it out.

    It is, but in a good way for hex - pre 95 patents are only valid for 17 years, not 20. Patents haven't quite run as ludicrously out of control as copyrights have. Reading that patent is a bit sad though - it goes into a huge amount of detail, shows clearly where it is innovating - and...

    Most people who say they are using shiva don't mean they are doing a high hp mono red team ;p Divines can be as low as 3 on the starting swing timer too - turn 2, no skills up, few orbs of your correct color is pretty ugly for most teams.

    Neither does Hex. It's colorless generic mana with 'threshhold', or minimum amounts. Scrolls doesn't sacrifice for generic energy either, it sacrifices for a specific color which can be only used on cards of that color. That's random quibbling though, Hex is alike enough to MTG that any...
