    I know people have heard of the website/app, but there is a platform for getting C-list celebrities to make videos saying what you want them to. So I was about to pay Gilbert Gottfried $50 to send my family an apology for ditching out on Thanksgiving due to crazy snowy driving conditions, and I...

    Hey folks - if you're interested at all... tomorrow (Saturday) - i think from 11-2 here on the West Coast, there will be nothing but Zapdos spawning at raids - and they difficulty has been lowered so they're a bit easier. I'll be nerding out tomorrow.

    I'm not a hardcore player. I get rank 5 each month from doing dailies and sitting on the toilet, never really pushed legend. So take me with a grain of salt - But I'm kinda amazed by the diversity that I'm seeing at rank 5 right now. Last night before the ladder reset, I played about 10 games...

    I think that my negative reaction is based on the way that the already ultra-powerful warlock hero power is so well-aligned with the deck's goals and the interactions with the other cards. Control/Cubelock is a mini-combo deck, so they need to draw lots of cards. Warlocks get to draw cards...

    I've been messing around with the new Solo Adventure, and I'm entirely and completely over Toki the Time Tinker. I have read the /r/competitiveHS post on the adventure. I have sunk some 50ish bosses into Toki without completing an 8/8 run, and I've got no more than 20 on the others, having beat...

    I thought he Tarim'd on a turn, and the next round was left with three 3/3s. I donno. I slipped back from 2 stars into rank 1 to 2 stars into rank 3 today, so I have no authority on this game. I really like Hunter, and I feel like I'm in a rut, so I wanna craft Rhok'Delar for spell hunter...

    Heh, it's much easier to see in a replay. There are a lot of small things that I think come with just paying closer attention. For one turn, right after you Tarim'd , you had three different 3/3s on the board, and a Kings in hand, meaning you had 13 dmg on board - while he had 12 HP. After...

    Please tell me you have a Replay of that game. That's so incredibly hilariously demoralizing. I'd have had to laugh and then throw something, then laugh, then take a walk.

    I dicked around with the rogue for a little bit today - then I tried the mage. I'm so angry at the mage option. "Hey, you like random highrolls? Here's a class that is made to do nothing but random high rolls, and we even gave you a 2nd chance button so you can do more random high rolls!"

    For the games that I lose against even pally, it is because they run at perfect efficiency. They don't ever leave any mana on the board, they always have something to buff when they want it, and for the goals that they try to accomplish, the extra dude is always a good thing. I've beat them...

    Hahaha - so I hadn't thought about it, until you put it here, and I'm sure it's mostly just a win-more condition, but if someone has Spiritsinger Umbra on the board, (which I have seen stick quite a few times, playing as Spiteful vs. cubelock), then they can cube something and then voodoo doll...

    Maybe I'm being too hopeful, but Shudderwock feels to me like the devs learned a lesson from Yogg. The power of the effect is cool and exciting - but the randomness was too problematic. This one maintains that same idea, but makes the randomness much more controllable and able to be framed by...

    You don't see the priest card as being a further entrenching of the resurrection bit? Barnes rotating out is going to kill the current Big Priest gimmick (yay) - but I doubt that they're going to kill off Rez entirely....

    I think that this could be very useful for maximizing hero power in decks - which isn't trivial. People tend to make the mistake about hero powers that they're only to be used if you can't do something better immediately. This happens less when you're planning multiple rounds ahead, but it...

    (A) People would set up bots, which wouldn't do the game any favors. (B) People do things that suck because it is a path to rewards. How many painful pointless tradeskills and dailies and side-quests have you done to min-max?

    You're right. It does. That sounds like a good reason for Blizzard to speed up the process between announcing and nerfing cards to me - not to make it less forgiving. I remember a day in WoW when right after a patch, retadins procs were broken if you used some random talent that wasn't...

    This quote feels like the guiding cancer that keeps Brode&Co. from getting it. You should not want the players progressing from rank 5 to legend to "feel the same amount of progression" as players going from 22 to 16. There are, at the very minimum, three totally different games that are being...

    I've had someone ask me before why it is that I'm still frequenting a forum from a video game I played back in 1998. If pointing to this video doesn't explain, I don't think they'd ever get it. Been involved in this dumb place in whatever variation it has been in, whether thats FoHguild.org...

    The best part is, I can't wait for the tear-jerking Brode video where he talks about how "they invested so much into this new format, but everyone min-maxes and no one plays it because they're just not engaging in the spirit of Hearthstone, and the community is at fault, etc. etc."

    So, someone tell me what's going on here. Animal Companion is 3 mana. So this is 2x that card.... for 2x the mana cost, only if you don't have any minions in your deck. What... why? Why is this epic? WHY IS THIS A CARD?

    If you're outside of the regions that Niantic consideres to be "Asia" - then for the next 36 hours, you can catch Farfetch'd. If you're a dirty casual like me, I'm biking to work 2 miles each way every day, and I saw 2 of them on my ride home tonight.

    Oooh, looks like maybe the problem is that I was connected to my local wifi a few hundred miles away (which is probably a huge red flag to Blizzard, if they give a darn.). I'll try again in a similar area tonight with my laptop connected to my cellphone. Time to see if Blizzard cares about...

    Interesting - I used the same emulator and went to a Fireside (made sure it was a Tavern, not just a Lantern) in San Jose, CA - and played 3 games, dropping and conceded on another, and had 2 people concede on me. Didn't get credit, didn't get the Warlock hero. I am disappoint.

    Important contextual question - in the "Dudes blowing dudes in a truck stop bathroom" scale, is it more or less gay for 7 dudes to blow 9 dudes, or 10 dudes to blow 9 dudes?

    I feel as though Blizzard got confused into printing a Druid card as a solution to aggro. Yes, giving players something that can respond to aggro is a great idea. No, making it class-specific is a terrible idea. If it was a neutral card, it would be an auto-include in every single deck for every...

    Quoted from the Iksar comments on Druid from Sunday: "Having such a powerful card draw effect is somethign we wouldn't consider part of their identity as a class." So, what is he saying, that either the "draw 5 cards" part of the card was a typo and they didn't mean to, or they purposely put...
