we should let DC know so they can reboot again and get rid of Tynion from their Batman family books


In my opinion, this Detective Comics run has been really good, minus an arc here and there. I can't think of a better characterization of Clayface in my admittedly short comic reading career.

What's the consensus on how Rebirth is turning out at this point, btw? I was very interested in hopping on board when it was new but I fell off for time commitment reasons like I always do. I remember people being hyped up for New 52 and now everyone hates it, so I'm wondering if the same thing is happening again or if it's actually good.


Most people agree that it's generally been very good!

Of course I would go 5-0 in my next 5, seeing no Warlocks. Rank 1! So close.


Back to all Warlocks, and back to rank 2 after an 0-5 run. Infuriating.

A player on the Asia server confirmed that they received a free arena ticket as well as the rewards for their arena run when it was retired due to the Wild Brawl event starting, so now is the time to start an arena run and leave it at 2 losses in anticipation for the event tomorrow.

Unless you're on EU, in which case Arena is already unavailable.

50-52. Beat three games in a series (First Game)

Kingdom Hearts

I'm going through my 4th or 5th playthrough, depending on the game, of this series in anticipation of KH3 which hopefully releases sometime during my lifetime. This time on PS4! Now that the difficulty trophies stack, I decided to attempt to complete this platinum, so my first run was on beginner without changing equipment and under 15 hours, to knock out a bunch of the trophies.

I'll do a run on Proud eventually then wrap up all the journal and secret boss stuff.

After being stuck at rank 4 for a solid chunk of time, I won 10 of my next 12 games and I am now at rank 2. I'm not sure how that happened.

This is the highest rank I've ever been. So close to the goal.

I went 5-1 against Priest during that streak. Duskbreakers ain't shit.

That's assuming the Warlock player is smart enough to hold onto their Defile. Dude Paladin has enough resources to recover from an early board clear or two.

Murloc Paladin essentially loses if you board clear after Call to Arms. But with this build, you can Call to Arms on 4, get your board cleared, then play Stand Against Darkness on 5 to fill your board, which you can then Tarim, adapt, or buff next turn.

There was one game that I somehow won after getting hit with two Defiles and two Hellfires in the first 7 turns.

All that being said, it's still a very very bad matchup.

Muzzy tested the build with Dirty Rat and concluded that it was mediocre, but I added two in and found them to be the difference against Murloc Paladin and the mirror match. Even against control if you get it out with Call to Arms it's pretty good.

I've been playing it since Monday! It's a lot of fun.

I was just about to hit rank 3 with it but I miscounted when I had lethal and let a Control Warlock back into the game :(. I got him down to 1 but should have switched out my weapon first for exact lethal. Then he played double Dark Pact on the next turn and I managed to get him down 1 again, but he had a Voidlord on 9 followed up by Guldan on 10 after I cleared it.

The games you know you could've won are always the worst losses.

Imagine being someone who never followed hockey but are a new fan because of Vegas.

Your only representation of teams like the Leafs and Jets are that they're great teams, while the Rangers and Blackhawks are medicore.

Of course you've got the constant of the Oilers being a dumpster fire.

One benefit to having a bench that produces is that when we get the inevitable playoff game where Derozan/Lowry decide to not show up, the chance for a win might still be there.

But those will be pre-Cavs series where they're expected to win, so it might not end up making a difference when it matters.

It'll be interesting to see if Toronto decides to not shorten their rotation in the playoffs because of how deep their bench is.

They'll remain fresh, but they'll also have their bench matched up against opposing teams starters more often, which might not be the best idea.

eh, I think when you get beat like the Raptors did last year, you deserve some skepticism. I'm tired of the angle that no one believes in the Raptors after they've flamed out like 4 years in a row in the playoffs.


Everyone gets beat by the Cavs like the Raptors did last year. If that disqualified you from getting recognized by the media then the Cavs would be the only thing the media ever paid attention to out of the East.

That's actually pretty close to the truth though, so I'm not really sure what the point I'm trying to make is.

I'm not necessarily saying the Raptors should be considered a threat, but when you've got ESPN (lol) talking about the Cavs, Celtics, and sometimes even the Wizards as potential contenders even though 2/3 of those teams have done even less than the Raptors in recent years, it does get kind of annoying. Especially when the Raptors aren't even a part of the discussion.

Both Phaneuf and Gaborik have 3 years left on their deals as well, and with Ottawa retaining 25% of Phaneuf's salary, it's almost a wash in terms of money saved, which makes this trade make even less sense.

In any card game where you've got a relatively even matchup in terms of player skill and deck choice, of course it's going to come down to who draws better cards.

I don't think Hearthstone is the only game in that category. I played semi-competitive Yugioh for awhile and it was the same thing.

The grind from 5 to legend seems like it's so draining. I feel like it comes down to luck at that point, because most players at that rank don't really misplay very often. It's all about matchups and who draws better.

I spend a solid few hours not able to get out of the rank floor, then won a bunch in a row and now I've been sitting between 4 stars at rank 5 and 2 stars at rank 4 for awhile. I keep winning one then losing one, and don't want to switch to something more experimental in fear of dropping all the way back down.

Tempo Storm is taking these new competitive incentives seriously. After picking up Muzzy a few months ago, they just announced the signing of Amnesiac to round out their lineup and brought on Chakki as a coach, which is non-existent in the Hearthstone scene.

It makes sense since those 3 along with JustSaiyan are all playing partners so it's probably a good idea to have them all together.

It's easily the most stacked roster on the scene right now. I've always been a fan because of Reynad but now that they've signed some of my favourite players I'm resisting the urge to buy the jersey of a video game sports team.

I'm actually the opposite in that as soon as someone starts spectating me, I tend to overthink every play because I don't want to make a mistake and end up misplaying because of it.

I'd say I'm an average Hearthstone player but going off of games where I'm spectated, you'd think I'm terrible.
