The lack of a reset makes the likelihood that I play ranked in S4 fairly low. I always liked the partial wipe and then hopping into ranked later in the season to see what's what. If I'm going to enter into S4 with 40 LPs worth of Plat 5 then I'll take my S4 rewards now, thanks.

Riot said they weren't doing a soft reset this season but they've got a bunch of other S4 changes planned for the system so I don't really know what it's all going to end up looking like.

You sir, you have made an enemy for life.

The view of what Hearthstone could be is warped by what it is now. If it was MtG that was the brand new game and we were playing it online with Alpha only with this many people and a similar ease of access to cards we'd have already broke that game over our knees. The real problem I see with...

Hearthstone just needs time to develop into its own game and for its card pool to grow.

I was referring to the nebulous anypeople of Hollywood. The dudes who call the shots and green light garbage. The people who want to add popular young people actors of the day like Emma Stone and Jonah Hill to the cast.

I'll always hate Millie the most. Always.

Jerle used to work for Riot under the handle of Damiya. He's a gigantic drama llama who sits out in the SA IRC channel for League of Legends and livejournals. If he was posting here you would know itinstantly.

What it loses in static resource gain and smaller card pool it makes up for with many, many cards with random elements. Hearthstone is probably always going to seem more random because of its cards even if it isn't.

The only things that I'm not liking are the amount of utility talents that involve gold and the 21 point talent. Wanderer is really, really crappy for a 21 point. There must be a reason they are doing away with +3% MS all the time but I would much rather have that over 5% out of combat.

Riot is totally willing to take big chances and at the same time completely unwilling to take big chances. It's strange. They'll push the envelope with champion design while simultaneously stubbornly refusing to doanythingwith others on the cast. Dominion got this huge push at its release and...

I had rented Ghostbusters a bunch of times as a kid and even at 9 I remember being disappointed with the sequel when I saw it in the theater. It's grown on me over time but I still don't understand why it is so goofy. The Real Ghostbusters cartoon was randomly holy fuck dark and it was those...

Vayne's a good example of just being stubborn. "% of max health true damage isn't the problem!" "Her win rate isn't very good!" She's not fucking fun to play against. Itemizing against her is very, very difficult. The second she buys BotRK, no matter how shit the rest of her laning phase...

Hey look, a marine got rustled over my saying a book he likes that is about how glorious it is to be a marine is a book about how glorious it is to be a marine. Don't get mad at me. I said I liked the book. My criticisms of Starship Troopers are not special, unique, or even uncommon. I prefer...

Alright, I was wrong about that detail. It's been a while since I had thought about any of this and I didn't run out to check Wikipedia before posting. Like I said, I had forgotten just how absurd the book was given Heinlein's own military background. I'm going to say it again. Starship...

Oh, that's right. I had forgotten just how absurd the whole thing was. Being told just how awesome it was to be a marine (infantry, no less) from the guy in the lily white uniform. You know what is a running theme in the different marine memories I've read? The navy treating them like shit.

What the fuck are you even talking about. Heinlein was a marine. Starship Troopers is about marines. It just is. Those are marines. The whole book glorifies being a marine to the point where it gets goddamn distracting. I'm not taking a controversial stance here.

It's not a comment on war. It's Marine recruitment propaganda. I like the book just fine. I've listened to it on audio book more than once. It's good. That doesn't make it not Marine recruitment propaganda.

The book is one big recruitment letter for the Marines written by a guy that never saw combat. Tons of combat zen honor glory duty Semper Fi wank. I'll stick with The Forever War thank you for much. The movie is a big, weird satire from I think a crazy person. If you haven't listened to the...

When I was going to school they absolutely would not let you go without a lunch. Weren't hungry? Didn't have money? Happened to an annoying little cunt no one liked? Did not matter. You got a lunch.

He's already said no. After his wife died he retired completely from acting.

Not taking bait is counterplay. Gah, I hate those terms so fucking much. Toxic needs to die in a fire. I would drown that word in turpentine if it would be so kind as to manifest in physical form. I've spoken with Morello in person and I don't have a single negative thing to say about him in...

Yeah, I had typed a little about Karma in that post and deleted it. That's exactly what is going to happen to Sion. We are going to get a completely new character with new abilities that is named Sion. I like new Karma just fine but I also really, really liked old Karma. Evelyn's remake made...

I always hoped Sion would get a small buff and they would remove the health per attack cost on auto attacks when Enrage is toggled on. The anti-sustain it provides is a real problem. In S1 Sion was my most played champion and at the time I thought that he could always be my old standby...

So much time has gone by that I don't think anyone even knows why the first one was good.

Clamping never made any sense. Introducing an extra layer of complexity that people hated to provide a barrier that's stated purpose is to keep people on streaks from advancing was retarded. If you can once again decay down a full tier from losses and they are expanding challenger and removing...

Giving up on the support Heimer. I like playing him and I love all his options but none of them seem to really do enough. His turrets are just too frail right now. It also kinda sucks that his ultimate shares a cooldown with one of his other abilities unless you use Q. He just doesn't have that...

At this point in the comics the story entirely revolves around the internal struggles within groups and the conflicts between groups. The zombies haven't been the driving force of the plot since forever. The show really fucked up the Prison/Governor arc and now I have no idea what they are even...

Well, I see now that all you did was recycle Morello's lingo and talking points from that thread so I am unsurprised that you cannot disconnect yourself from him when you read my post. "Toxic" and "counterplay" are some of the most overused, useless terms the game has right now. Stop replicating...

Spare me the "toxic" and "counter play" buzzwords. Saying you are fine doing nothing up until Poppy appears in a competitive environment when the hammer will then come down is game design that I 100% disagree with. You shouldn't be fine with there being troll tier champions on the roster that no...

I look forward to dementia fueled solo White Mage runs in Final Fantasy.

Sure, like the developers at Riot that thought GP's old Raise Morale was fun and opposed changing it. It's fun having the only deny in the entire game and ruining a lane with it. If Poppy's Heroic Charge had the same forgiveness/auto correct of Vayne's Condemn I'd be a whole lot happier with...

Shaco! I don't really get what Morello is saying. The stated goal should be for every champion to be a real pick.

They went with some little Gateway thing. It came with Windows 8 and a mountain of garbage installed. Thus far I hate Windows 8. Haaaaaate it. Hate. And fuck you Norton.

Hey, that's where my cat sleeps. You can go on the couch or something.

I was told this morning that last night the cat stepped on the switch on the surge protector and now the computer wouldn't turn back on. I checked all the plugs, connectors, cords, and the thing is a corpse. No lights no sounds no bells no whistlescorpse.Given it's complete corpse nature I tried...

The montage of failed pros was good. Has anyone in NA managed to quit on a high note?

Laughed my head off when the tech guy killed himself.

You can go at it with a friend!

Things that rustle my jimmies - When people post clips to episodes of shows that I then have to immediately go watch in their entirety.
