    Hearthstone

    Piloted Shredder imo. Best animation I've seen on a golden card, with the bonus that whatever it summons is also golden.

    Average is supposed to be 1 in 20, so you did a bit better than that aside from the fact that you got a repeat.

    Agreed. Laddering is much better when you can do it lying in bed. Pretty sure I fell asleep mid-game last night. Whoops.

    Opened all of my packs from the 147 I purchased (92 Classic, 55 GvG), super fucking stoked. Always been an arena player since I never dropped more than $40 into this game previously. Don't have a super precise count, but out of 147 packs I got: 9 Legendaries: - Lorewalker Cho - Onyxia -...

    It only appears on compatible devices, e.g. tablets. It doesn't appear on my LG G3 for instance.

    If anyone wants to buy packs, now is the time. Using Amazon's in-game 'Coins', I was just able to purchase 147 packs for $80. That's $0.54/pack, compared to $1.25/pack if you buy Blizzard's largest package in-game. Unsure if it's a promo glitch or what, but here's the process. Note that...

    It's possible to play KR Open Beta if you want to pay $10 for a i-pin verified account, according to Reddit. They've been linking to NewGameWay for acct purchases - haven't done it myself, but I might check it out depending how it looks on Twitch. Anyone know how long this test is scheduled to...

    Yeah, was a bit frustrating as it happened during the middle of playback of a movie in the Plex app, so there was definitely active network traffic when it happened.

    FireTV Stick

    I had an incident yesterday where my FireTV Stick got disconnected from my wifi and wouldn't reconnect until a hard reboot. I had it connected to the 5ghz radio, and it wouldn't even switch to the 2.4ghz one. After I put in the password, the networking screen said 'Connected with problems'...

    Perhaps someone more qualified can speak to this, but TRIM has been a feature in Android since 4.3 so my understanding is that slowdown from a full (or close to full) SSD is not an issue anymore. I'd be interested to see something that says otherwise as I thought that's what the feature was...

    I got bored today so I decided to try to quantify the sinking ship that is Archeage. Let's look at the overall subreddit traffic for a few games. I threw this together and while Reddit certainly doesn't represent a game in it's entirety, I believe it's fair to say that among MMOs it is a good...

    I think this is spot on. I see a lot of behavior that's reminiscent of someone holding onto stock from a hemorrhaging company and saying "Oh, they'll turn it around." The problem is that there's no basis for that rationale in many cases, and it's typically an emotionally driven belief since...

    Most good businesses actually garner favor with their customers to make them repeat ones. There's a reason the people who have dropped $1500 on League don't regret it and want to give Riot more money. Trion has actively burned every bridge they had to 99% of customers, except the ones who...

    I'm not sure if this has been intentional, but the last major three issues (RNG Boxes/APEX Dupes/Server Crashes) have all happened on a Sunday. Part of me hopes that the folks releasing these exploits are doing it on purpose so the idiots Trion employs are forced to come in and do damage...

    Second this. We looked at a Roomba and theNeato Botvac 80and ended up going with the Neato. Like Wombat, I like that the Neato maps out its path, rather than the randomness of the Roomba. We have around a 1000 sqft area it cleans on a single charge. It's worth every single penny. We have...

    Just curious why you decided to go with the Nexus 7 over the Shield tablet. I'm eyeing a replacement for my 1st gen Samsung Galaxy Tab and hadn't even considered the Nexus 7.

    Well, this game didn't turn out all bad for me. Made over $250 selling my shit (2 pieces of land and some APEX). Funded a new GTX 970 pending sale of my old card. Thanks for your shitty game, Trion!

    Large portion of guild thinks Gift Box cash shop item was a good idea, some even saying they preferred P2W and that this will help them get gear. I can't believe this, but I feel like I'm turning into Dumar for this game. Fuck everything about those retards.

    This is the dumbest thing I've ever witnessed in the history of gaming. One retard in guild chat was like: "I like this! I don't want to grind." That dude is literally why this P2W shit exists. People with absolutely zero impulse control. South Park was right.

    Same. I think anyone who missed the boat on TF2 but was interested will be in on this game at the ground level. Like Draegan, I'm not a huge FPS player outside of games like Borderlands but I'll likely give this one a shot. I like the idea of MOBA-esque abilities in a shooter, so I hope this...

    I guess. I prefer to do that in an arena or other dedicated setting though. PVP for the sake of PVP is retarded honestly. Even in more PVP-centric games like League the PVP takes a back seat (at the non-autistic levels) to objectives and strategy. There is none of that in Archeage and I...

    To be fair, there isn't really a reason to fight back in a lot of situations. The level of risk in this game is so trivial it's not really worth it. You gank someone moving a pack? That's 2-3g in mats, who cares? It's a poor system which puts zero risk on the aggressor, which is why people...

    Just got an email from Trion about Auroria, let's take a look: Turns out it was 'lost' for a good reason. Six completely lifeless zones with absolutely zero unique features between them, much less any semblance of a town or other merchant infrastructure. Not even able to do trade runs, much...

    Whether or not he was hands on, I had a lot more respect for him before seeing some of the shit he's posted to Twitter/Reddit regarding AA. As CEO he understandably needs defend his product to some extent, but you have to be able to own up and fix the shit that's within your power. After...

    The management of this game is so poor it's almost unbelievable. I am really glad I only dropped $15. Will not ever be purchasing a game with Hartsman attached again.

    I did this for awhile with Raw Stone. It was stupid easy to make 5-6g even after AH since you could get Raw Stone for 15g for 300 and Stone Brick sold for 23-24g. Worked out well while I was leveling, but the market has died off a bit and now you can only make 1-2g occasionally and that's not...

    FWIW, I started out as F2P and bought a single month sub when I was around lvl 25. I'm level 40 now and have close to 200g if I cashed out some crafting mats. And that's after adding a bunch of inventory slots via gold (vs paying for them in the cash shop) A month's sub via APEX (cash shop...

    A lot of farm 'profits' also revolve around how willing you are to be dedicated to the game. I have some grapevines planted now which work well, but fuck having to come online every 4.5 hrs to harvest them. I'm sure someone is building a spreadsheet that optimizes price vs tree size vs...

    How do you know who makes good money? Anyway, best way I've found if you're somewhat more casual and and can spare labor is to convert up to lumber/stone/etc from raw mats and sell high. I can make 4-5g profit per 500 labor which seems alright. Bonus points since I don't actually have to...
