    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    What if this gameshow is set on an airplane, and that airplane is on a giant treadmill? Can the show take off? What if it's underwater and there's ancient aliens at the bottom of the ocean, and the goat is now a sharknado?

    I like paladin in Arena. Don't they have a card that draws 3 and heals 8? lol.

    Hearthstone

    The extra card is just very powerful. This isn't MTG where you're comparing a 7 card opener to 7 card opener +1 random card. You're comparing 3 to 4. That's just so much larger of an advantage.

    Hearthstone

    Right, but what I'm saying is that having played Arena in beta extensively, I feel going second is way better. I'm not sure how much they tested that. They pulled the data from the leagues, doesn't mention arena.

    It's the main reason I stopped going to large events to trade unless I'm always with 2-3 other people all watching each other's things. And playing and trading in the same day is just no longer an option.

    Hearthstone

    Going first might be beneficial in constructed decks, where you're trying to enact a preset strategy. But I would almost always choose to go second in Arena, where you're trying to grind out incremental advantage with frequently marginal cards. Having 1 extra card is a pretty huge advantage in...

    Guild Wars 2

    Ascended weapons are pretty grindy if you like grindy gear progression. Also requires you to do just about every activity in the game.

    Coin is a super dumb mechanic, going second is already a bonus because of the extra card, coin isn't necessary at all.

    Hearthstone

    Warrior is one of the worst picks in Arena. Shamans, Paladins, Mages and Priests are all good picks for Arena.

    Guild Wars 2

    I am still playing fairly regularly, though I'm not really involved with any major guilds. I could probably do an update.

    Choose Your Own Avengers

    I think I'd just throw Dr. Gregory House in with the 4 normal avengers, Hulk, Iron Man, Cap and Thor, just to add some brains to the operation.

    You may be able to trade a box of out of print product to a store for in-print sets, similar value. This is because they get that in-print product for like $75 a box. So it's like them paying 300 for a box of Unhinged, which they can then sell out as packs or sell as a box or sell on ebay for...

    The bestow cards look awful for constructed. Just play better 2 and 3 drops.

    Hearthstone

    This game is meant to be fast and it doesn't really work that much like MTG. I doubt you will see a whole lot of decks that are based off interactions beyond heroes, equipment and minions.

    Completely pointless for premium cable channels. EVERYONE has a DVR that subs to premium cable, and they don't carry advertisements.

    Hearthstone

    It's actually exactly like MTG drafts. Going all-in on a particular mechanic or strategy has huge upside but huge potential downside. People who are good at limited magic frequently have very high win rates in HS Arena from what I've seen.

    MTG thread

    You're not really stealing resources since you're stealing cards they never got to draw. You might as well be stealing cards off the bottom of their deck. That said, I still think this card could be good. It's a win condition on it's own, which is good for a 3 mana planeswalker. You have...

    Motherboards generally don't control case fans. They can, depending on the motherboard, but that's generally not how I've ever set mine up. But yeah, 3 pin fans will work on 4 pin motherboard fan connectors. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/27...ection#2670161

    That's really not it. It's flipping between 2 entirely separate interfaces that is the problem.

    Depends on the season. When sets are new, the sealed queues are filled with terribles. Oh, yeah, the BEST EV EVENTS on MTGO are Release Event Sealed. Not Prerelease Sealed, those are awful, but the two weeks AFTER the prerelease are the best events. For 24 tix you get to play sealed with...

    A good RDW deck is tier 1 for standard right now, especially on MTGO. You want to do the 4 round Standard events that are posted in the scheduled events room for the best EV. If you are good at sealed, do the 4 round sealed events in that room too. The 8 man single elim Standard queues...

    Card seems really good regardless of what you play it with. It's kinda like a better farseek that just has the downside of dying to wraths or maybe devour flesh.

    Also turns into 6 power on the table, or 2 blocker if necessary, inherent card advantage in having 2 bodies, etc.

    Okay I'm wrong. Turn 1 elf. Turn 2 burning tree into the new sylvan caryatid or whatever you want really. Turn 3 planeswalker, cast ogre piledriver, or whatever really. Turn 4 cast some big 6 mana garruk, play something huge. Turn 5 draw a bunch of cards with garruk's +1 ability...

    Mana ramp that requires you to have a bunch of creatures in play, cast that planeswalker, then still have more stuff in your hand that you want to play? Seems TERRIBLE.

    Mighty No. 9 - Megaman Spiritual Successor

    I'm not sure you can do a really good Megaman game with much better than 16 bit graphics. The entire game is based around hitting pixel perfect on jumps and weak spots etc.
