    Hearthstone

    Holy Nova is far better than Arcane Explosion. Hell, it's as good as or better than Blizzard, a mage rare. Northshire Cleric is probably the best basic minion in the game. PWS is an almost guaranteed 2-for-1 for 1 mana. SWD and SWP may be the best single target removal spells among the basic...

    Hearthstone

    Warrior deck flunked out bad, 1-3. Then I drafted mage and went 7-3, solid but unspectacular. Followed that up with a druid and went 7-1... then lost 2 games to absolutely ridiculous decks/draws. First a paladin who played 3 Aldor Peacekeepers (!), just rolling over me with the constant 2...

    Hearthstone

    Any opinions on arena class balance atm? I've just dipped my toe in, doing one full Warlock draft and a barely started Warrior draft. Some thoughts based on the little I have seen: The Warlock draft I went 4-3, but it should have been at least 5 wins if I hadn't misplayed in the final turn...

    Hearthstone

    Heh, I actually got in. Played some games last night. I'm surprised at how well it plays, and it certainly makes for a fast paced CCG, but I fear the simplicity will hurt the long term metagame variety and cause the game to be almost entirely RNG on the high end. I guess I've only seen a...

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

    The 360 controller was/is generally considered superior for most games, I believe. The PS3 controller is better (imo) for games that use the D-Pad extensively (platformers, fighters) or where I use "palm down" operation of the face buttons (fighters, in my case). For shooters, driving...

    Uhm, PoP doesn't have that ability either, unless they changed something. You could ask about former companions who had left you, but not ones you hadn't recruited yet.

    EQMac Now Free to Play

    Grouping scene is pretty decent on P99, and who gives a shit about old school EQ raiding anyway. There's no challenge in it on a mature server without new expansions. Past a certain gear level it is 100% about showing up / batphones.

    For what it's worth, the next gen FIFAs will have a new movement prediction engine which makes everything look a little bit more realistic. Not a huge deal, but it's more than just +resolution. I don't think current gen will have it, and PC is confirmed not to have it. Not that that's reason...

    PS4's launch lineup is damn near non-existent now. There's also no significant confirmed value in PS+ outside of online play at this point. I'm getting closer to cancelling my pre-order by the day. At this point my only reasons to keep the pre-order are FIFA 14 (which can be played on other...

    I can't believe they aren't focusing more on the details and advantages of that system in their marketing. It must either mean it's not as great as their original announcement made it sound, or they're just stupid when it comes to marketing. If they can reliably provide quality, worldwide...

    Uhm, you know what EQ's expansions looked like when they were "100% complete". 90% complete was probably still a long way from actually fully functioning.

    MMORPGS, what do you miss?

    AAs that gave you more DPS/HPS/mitigation or critical class abilities were dumb. Infinite grind to have acceptable high end stats - no thanks. AAs which were mainly for convenience were great. Nothing's stopping you in newer MMOs. Of course, you meet less people because you group less, which is...

    EQOA rose colored glasses thread or "How I learned to MMO"

    The ability to gimp your character before you have even started playing the game is TERRIBLE game design. Are you kidding me? Everquest PC eventually "fixed" this through mudflation and hard stat caps, and then created overcap stats instead to even the playing field.

    Hex looks genuinely good and interesting. Ripping off MTG and giving it a good digital presence is overdue, considering how WOTC has completely dropped the ball in bringing MTGO to a post-2005 quality. I'll be checking that out once it's confirmed playable.

    Poopsocked hard over the weekend with a couple of friends (DRU PAL ROG), one of which has never played EQ before. Hit 12 on my Druid just now.

    I'm going to play this for a couple of days, for nostalgia's sake. Apparently I have two loginserver accounts (on the same EQEmu account) from 2009 or whatever. Can both be logged on at the same time, as long as they're not played from the same IP? I'm thinking I'll start a druid, could be handy...

    I haven't had a single OS/shitware related crash issue since Windows 7 came out. Every crash issue since has been due to the specific software that was crashing, or due to faulty hardware. I'm not particularly careful with what I install either. Might be useful for the people that manage to...

    Grand Theft Auto V

    Don't worry about the assassination missions. The save slots were weird, I never quite figured out how it worked. Every time I manually saved to a slot, it would give me an overwrite warning on the next autosave. I just had 4 slots that I rotated whenever I manually saved, but I never had to...

    Maybe she should have replayed the scene to understand it better before she started writing the review. The torture victim says the truth the entire time.

    I have no doubts that the Steam Controller will be low latency, and I can easily see the trackpad be just as useful as the 360's d-pad or stick when playing SMB. My point was that SMB is not a typical gamepad game, due to the extremely low number of discrete inputs. As I said - SMB can be played...
