    Sidonia wins the Bear Grylls survivalist award this week. I continue to be vexed by the implication that two robots holding each other is somehow more efficient than each of them using their engines separately though. Brynhildr wins the 'fair and balanced' battle award for the month though...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Not sure what happened for you, but I have had to trouble leaving drafts after being eliminated - they just mail the 5k gold to you when it's eventually won. I actually received it in the middle of another draft I had started.

    If you mouseover the list on the left, it'll tell you what each gives. Interestingly, the chest upgrade works on legendary chests to turn them into primal chests. I'm not sure, but I'd guess there's a 'super' primal chest type too to cover the double upgrade roll.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Yes, very. The card set is deep, with interesting interactions, and well balanced. Draft puts everyone on an even footing card wise, and has a few levels of extra strategy observing what's being passed. The limited cards for draft decks also lead to some fun effects you wouldn't normally see in...

    Yeah it kind of does actually. The shift depends partly on class as well, but 15 is mounts, housing, the adventure map and for a few classes ( like engineer ) a much more solid skillset. I'd give it to 15, play with housing a bit, do the adventure - if you've done that and are uninterested...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I read that as just bait to make people think he'd let them go because he was a softie underneath overall, which gets shattered by showing him shooting the dog with the rifle, proving that he actually is a dickhead afterall and totally wants to kill them. You don't throw people out of a jet...

    Meh, it's true, for reasons not related to degree of casualness as well - the time taken to clear the newbie dungeons is so long and the xp is so bad that any gear drops are immediately invalidated because you would be several levels higher if you'd just leveled through that same time. Side...

    You sure it wasn't that you leveled up ? There are pretty steep diminishing returns on xp for low level mobs. I admit though, I didn't try killing the same mob over and over, but did circuits of the same areas ( like halstead's claim or the little voodoo guys ) - didn't see any drop in xp...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    It's generally recommended by the more experienced people to use packs only for drafts - absolute worst case in a draft you get the three packs you put in plus 5k gold, but if the people in draft are trying to win, they will often take less valuable cards that are more likely to help them win...

    I'm not sure what you mean by designed for leveling by slaughtering monsters. Is it just a complaint that leveling that way is slower than questing? Coz it's not like you can't just sit in one spot and kill stuff, the mob density is pretty high overall, there's a lot of trash drops, you can...

    Yep. The newbie decks are pretty terrible, and there are a lot of people that have dumped absolutely ludicrous money into it already, so expect to get exploded a lot of matches. The AI is more even matchups but the AI is also spectacularly terrible at the moment ( Kranok, in particular, loves...

    The guy that won with the sealed deck was absolutely ridiculous, I still have no idea about how he could have even started to do that. Penn's expression was absolute gold.

    King Gabriel is a boss - just pulled a ridiculous turn the tables victory as soon as he came out ( 18 life to 7 with a tyrannosaurus (6/4 crush ), ogre ( 3/2 ) and squirrel titan (6/6 crush) to my 1/2 and two 1/1s. Very satisfying ;p

    You can't build a deck around pack raptor because there are only four of them. Some games you are not even going to see one of them. They work well with agro decks though. A 1/1 swiftstrike for 1 would be worth it without any power up, there are a shitload of annoying creatures with 1 toughness...

    Penny Dreadful

    I liked this one, timothy dalton does well, and victor has a decent intensity to him. My main complaint is the nudity ratio is outrageously skewed toward naked cock. Like, full frontal male nudity everywhere and the most female nudity was some chick showing off her calves. If they swing...

    No wipes from now on. General advice from people more keen than me is to keep packs to use in tournaments. ( you use 3 sealed packs and a token entry fee, and get to keep the packs plus whatever you win )

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Yeah, from alpha, chest upgrading is a chumps game, unless they changed the rewards and rates it's just a giant money sink for pvp'ers. It seems a good idea for economy stimulation though, PVPers will probably always want more gold than they get from tournaments, so AH gold trading should be...

    That seems kind of overstating it - 3 packs and draft tournament entry costs what, $4 ? 1000 bucks is playing every week for 5 years to break even - you'd have to be very very dedicated.

    The classes are head scratchingly unbalanced in terms of how they progress. If you want a good newbie experience, try stalker - they pretty much explode out the gates at level 2.

    I dunno, having a radio controlled kill switch and a super hacker seems a plausible way out of that confrontation. I'm guessing he's going for the death-suppressant immediately healing any injuries approach, although there's no reason to think that applies to other things than just deterioration...

    Yeah, Olenna moves her braid over the top of the gem, then takes it out underneath her braid while pretending to stroke her hair. Even knowing it was coming, it was pretty damn subtle, particularly given the camera focus was on the right spot ;p
