    It's built to be played as an actual cube. You print all the cards out and make proxies out of them, get 6-8 players, shuffle up the proxies and put them into random 'packs' of 15 cards. Then you draft the packs as normal. Then you play a big fucking multiplayer game with the decks you drafted.

    Not permanents. They're not in the in-play zone. They're in the command zone. You can't interact with them in any way, other than via restarting the game via something like a Karn ultimate.

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    Quakeworld was very playable on a 33.6 assuming you were connecting to an ISP or university that was near a major backbone connection. You could get ~80-120ms pings with a good ISP playing on local region servers.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    It's WoW with guns and better combat. Every game subsystem like crafting and talent points is more complex than WoW. It's basically just WoW cranked up to 11, with guns. If they can actually design decent raid encounters the game should be a fucking blast for anyone that just wants Super-WoW.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    There's no economy anymore. Gold is BoA and so are all the good items. Blizzard is killing the franchise.

    I'm going to watch this just because I'm a sucker for a good Sean Bean death scene.

    Anything in the battlefield zone is a permanent. This doesn't count things that hang around the battlefield like imprinted cards or ciphered cards, those are actually in exile.

    Home Improvement

    Here's the kitchen renovation I'm doing for my mom. Her house got flooded in March 2010 and there was a lot of water damage to the old cabinets shown in the first picture. Then we had a fire during the Blizzard Nemo in 2012 while I was taking care of her and the house after my stepfather...

    Windows 8

    There's definitely a couple problems. The big one is that the metro screen search doesn't search your recent jumplist documents in realtime as you type (there's a pause of like 5 seconds after you stop typing) where the Start8 menu does. It's the only major reason I haven't switched to using...

    Yeah, it was on slickdeals. They were contacted about it and never changed the offer, I'm guessing because they were desperate for early-adopters.

    Yeah the SLAM + RPG is how I always kill vehicles as an engineer. I thought this was pretty standard.

    I got Windows 8 Pro for 15 dollars the day it was released. Pretty glad I did.

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    The internet has actually gotten a lot slower for realtime applications (aka games) thanks to Deep Packet Inspection and other traffic shaping techniques. We have way more bandwidth now but real-world latency is higher in ways that aren't reported by ping times.

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    You're a retard. Quake didn't have head/body region hitboxes. Also the entire environment was completely static. Quakeworld did have very advanced player movement prediction based on vectors, but it was considered very ahead of it's time, and it still wasn't as great as you remember on modems.

    It's okay. I've got like 45mil SPs and I don't have any idea either.

    I know it's really easy to get money out of BTC-E if you're willing to eat the 7% paypal fee.

    Btw, if you don't overclock you should not get the K-type Haswell chips. The non-K parts actually have a few extra features that got cut for sake of overclockability. They're minor things, like enhanced virtualization features, but they're technically better, and cheaper.

    I think BTC-E is better? Pretty sure you can use coinbase if you just want to work in bitcoins.

    Higher scores on synthetic benchmarks, basically. In real world use, all you do is use more power and throw more waste heat. The built-in turbo mode is way more efficient and stable and produces only slightly less performance.

    MOBAs are fucking garbage. How did 'Single Unit RPG using RTS interface' become a genre?

    Hearthstone

    There's a lot more possible turn 1 combo decks that people actually play in legacy. But if though its possible to get turn 1 draws, they still don't usually combo out until turn 3 or 4. And yet, because MTG is such an interactive game, these aren't even the best decks. Well, not usually.

    All I know about Skill is that it's highly weighted towards the present. Go 50-20 a couple matches in a row and your skill rating will skyrocket.

    I think it's a rolling average of score per death.
