    Venom (2018)

    This movie was very lackluster with the characters. I should have cared about the main character but did not. The dynamic between him and his symbiote felt forced. The story also felt a little out of order with sequences. I expected the last scene to have been just after he understood what was...

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    I am enjoying this game. I am in no hurry however to go beyond the initial $20.00 I spent. With no ranking or reward for play in constructed, I am just having fun learning the game in Ghost Draft. I think that is a great way to get accustomed to the cards and formats of play. Now this does not...

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    I can see new players having a hard time understanding all of the rules at once. This game takes a lot of patience to get to a point of playing as an average player, much less a great one. Drafting is a good example of how difficult the learning curve can be. You have to consider many things...

    Hearthstone

    That is the problem I have with this game. Even when the cards look interesting, the formats are the same. I would attempt to play a few decks for a few days and then I would be finished. In less than a week, I would once again burn out having played and played against most of the new deck...

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    I imagine some of the time revolves around learning the game. It is more complicated but as you get more experienced, the plays probably get faster. Was part of the time on the stream used for explaining everything out? If the person was explaining the reasoning behind every play along with all...

    MTG: Arena

    I am going to give Artifact a good try. Just tired of Mana already.

    MTG: Arena

    I will try Artifact just to take a break from Mana and Counterspell. I truly hate both mechanics so much. I really wish that all counterspells had to show in hand. Gets really annoying playing against a deck that chains that spell 4+ times. I play Dimir and do not use counterspells. Blue is a...

    Alita: Battle Angel (2018)

    If big eyes are the only complaint this movie has, then the movie did fantastic. Really?? Big eyes are what bothers you? She is not human. Should could have had eight eyes. If I judged movies based solely on how a character is portrayed from written work, I would not even bother looking at the...

    The Netflix Thread

    If you liked Outlaw king, then watch "The Last Kingdom" (TV Series)for a more character driven and drawn out story that is a little before the time period but still relevant.

    The Last Kingdom

    I am enjoying this season. The seer adds an interesting Helen of Troy element with a twist of lime. I also enjoy how difficult it must be for the main character to constantly not want to kill people from either side of the fight. They did a great job casting both Uhtred and Brida as their...

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    It is certainly a big thing missing in Magic Arena. Regretfully it also souinds as if that will not be fixed anytime soon in Magic either. I will certainly give this game a try once it goes live. If I like it, then more money will be spent. I will be curious to see if it gets more support for...

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    Then don't watch?? I am not bothering with the streams all that much for that very reason. I might watch some the day before release just to get an idea of strategy and play. I rarely enjoy watching a game more than playing it.

    MTG: Arena

    Part of the problem for this is the lack of programmers. This game updates stuff very slowly. We still have a list of things needed like a real ranking system, just for starters. They have done a great job with the actual game but I think much of their talent is centered around the next...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Legion was actually a very well done expansion. It was one of the few that I did not stop playing through. Compared with BFA, Legion was the holy grail of expansions. I actually did not mind WoD as much as many seem to. The Garrisons, while certainly far from perfect, were better than what...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Warmode would work wonderfully................if there were three factions. This game has suffered from the very start by not having a three faction system. This has nothing really to do with the horrid expansion that is BFA, but it was a topic discussed many many years ago back when gnomes had...

    MTG: Arena

    Well, Artifact is coming out long before that fix. If that game is as interesting as Magic is for strategy, it will hurt Arena not having made a decision when it comes to a retroactive action or worse a rotation. I guess I will stop opening my Ravinca packs at this point. I know I will see 5th...

    Torchlight III

    This game looks really nice. Keeping an eye out as I no longer care about Diablo until the 4th installment comes out.

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    You would think they would at least offer an Alternate Art card for prepurchasing. Offering no bonus for a prepurchase is kind of dumb. Since nothing more is offered than if I just wait, then wait I shall.

    Joker (2019)

    I would much prefer to watch Heath Ledger play a Zombie Joker over this movie.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The asinine decision to make the leveling process so much more difficult was one of the reasons I have not logged on in 3 weeks. I am used to capping a character out to a point and then starting to level others. Its amazing how many stupid ideas they had for this game. Its like the game is a...

    College Football 2018-2019 Season

    As a UGA fan, it makes me sad to realize that the only way we beat Alabama is if the Quarterback does not play in the game. Even then, it would be a close game. If Alabama stays healthy, they win the National Championship again. Sigh...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So I took a week off thinking I just needed to step away from the game. Three weeks later and I have no urge to log back in. I really do think that this time they screwed the pooch with this expansion. You really should never shit where you eat and yet here we are. I miss the days of actually...

    Hearthstone

    Given that this game has become a "We just add cards for you to buy" instead of adding new kinds of play formats, makes it easy to hate on this game. Magic Arena also helps to make it easy to hate on this game. I have enjoyed the variety of formats that game offers. As an example, they have...

    Trying to find that deck list. I am missing Immortal Sun but could get one tommorrow. I am pretty sure I would have the rest of it.

    The Equalizer 2 (2018)

    I enjoyed this enough but the villain felt weak. EQ1 had a much better villain who at least seemed to have had a shot at killing the main character. The first 30 minutes were the best part as it continued more in vein with the show as he was randomly helping people that needed it. I chuckled at...

    College Football 2018-2019 Season

    Fromm was much better this time. Wish we had that Fromm against LSU but as long as that Fromm shows up we have a shot in the SEC championship.

    Show me your deck list with Dimir please.

    MTG: Arena

    I doubt that was their only motivation. Artifact would be another reason they needed to release. That game has a lot of promise but I am concerned with the limited amount of deck possibilities that Arfifact might get old a lot faster than Arena until they get a few sets out. I am trying to get...

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    Of all the PvP oriented play in online games, I feel Ultima Online and Dark Ages of Camelot came as close to a perfectly based format as you can get. Ultima Online had safe areas that were no longer safe when you ventured out to explore. There were many ways to get out of a town and so a...

    MTG: Arena

    The memory of Hearthstone is alive and well in this new charity event. If you LOVE random then this event is all for you. I used up 100 gems and realized how much I hated Hearthstone. There is some strategy in that not playing the first time around allows you to get to larger creatures without...

    MTG: Arena

    Actually, there is no advantage to winning, save for the dailies rewards. Unlike Hearthstone, there is no reward for rank. I am not even sure exactly how the rank system works because there are no numbers to compare. At first I would get upset about losing rank and then I realized there is no...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I showed my wife this video. She almost spit her water out with the poker face look. I like how he feels the need to let out his inner insane.

    Hearthstone

    I am having a very easy time not playing this game now that Magic Arena is out. All I wished HS would have done was come out with better formats of play. Blizzard always had to retune and rebalance their Arena game when the game itself was half the problem. The ladder system was fun, but the...

    MTG: Arena

    I have had no issues with disconnections. Teferi is all around the best Planeswalker in the current environment. The only problem I had with him was when I made a newbie mistake and forgot that his second ability requires cards in the graveyard. I am working towards a big green deck now. Green...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I believe those numbers. I am willing to bet that the sub number will drop under 1 million for the first time in many years in about 2 months. If not for the ability to pay with gold, the numbers would even be lower. This expansion was atrocious in all ways save for music and environment. I was...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I do think that eventually this game will come out. It just seems like a lot of work and effort looks to be going into this game. That video showed a lot and I can only imagine how much fun it would be to explore all of these very detailed worlds. Yes it was still buggy but every year those bugs...

    MTG: Arena

    Now I can confirm that the free cards can be any type at any point. I got another Mythic rare and a rare in the same day. Spent a little bit more money because I wanted to build a good White/red deck that eats up a lot of the blue/red ones. I figure the time I spend playing this game makes it...

    College Football 2018-2019 Season

    So, I am no longer a fan of Jake Fromm. I think he is way over rated and that Justin Fields needs to be given serious consideration. If that had been Alabama, Nick Saban would have sat Jake Fromm down mid second quarter and allowed Justin to truly see if he needed to take over. Playing Justin...

    MTG: Arena

    Thanks to the dailies, it really scratches the itch. I can verify that the free cards you get in the dailies can be an Epic rare. At the very least it is an uncommon which after a while will help with the vault.
