Thanks redbros. Thirty-three years and it still hasn't sunk in that I'm an adult now.

[Platypus]

I'm 40, it still haven't sunk in.

[Kaitscralt]

old fuckers

[windstrider]

Wait, 42 is old?

Dammit. Why didn't anyone tell me?

[redthirst]

We did. You couldn't hear us.

Btw, when I was Image searching "ear trumpet", I came across this superior specimen:

[DroppinSuga]

The bonerz.

[Self Medicated]

Happy birthday Doc! Have a fun weekend.

[Self Medicated]

And yes, the bonerz. Always the bonerz.

[DocLawless]

Neila Fynn. You're welcome.

Neila Fynn. You're welcome.

Another image search.

Pretty happy about it.

So, after 2 days of playing Hearthstone -- minor introduction and opinion on the game.

- You can play it for free, if you are okay with slowly sculpting a deck of your dreams. Especially if you feel well at Arena (Draft) as after 7 games won you gain a pass for another one.
- This is how technically Modo should look like. Matchmaking queue works fast as hell. Everything is just... so nice and easy to use. This game is a technical gem.
- Draft costs 2 dollars here, you don't get the cards you have drafted but a reward based on your score (you're playing to up to 3 lossess). I won 5 games and got 210 gold (110 + Booster for 100). You don't even need to play whole draft at once, you can just play games when you have time for that.
-
Deckbuilding looks pretty boring. I mean, cardpool wasn't there yet (I'm playing 2 days, so I can't blame anyone for that) but decks seem to be homogenized as fuck. Everyone has some kind of removal, access to both early beaters and lategame cows. The main difference between classes is access to a power usable per round for 2 mana. So if you loved refined deckbuilding of MTG, you might be a bit disappointed.
- On the other hand game feels so... cool to play. Cards combo with each other a lot. Combat system after a little bit of mind stretching is really fine. And Blizzard actually found a way to remove any kind of unfair advantages of "starting first" - you get a bonus draw and a token that you can use to get additional mana. And there's NO MANA SCREW as you just gain 1 land per turn (unless you have something to accelerate that).
- I can easily see how and when I loose games without any possibility of mana screw. Whenever I lost, I knew what mistakes I have done - and that's something
beautifull.

Personal opinion: this is the future of card games. And it looks damn fantastic.

Agreed. My initial impression of the game is that it's a streamlined version of MTG. It's very enjoyable if you just want to get a couple games in, as they don't usually take very long. I've unlocked all the avatars and I'm now working on leveling them up. I don't mind the grindy nature of the game. I give it

Now THAT's how I like my steampunk.

HEY WINDSTRIDER!! WHY COME YOU NO GOT ONE A DOZE WHEN YOU BOUGHT YOUR TOP HAT? Talk about ideas for a photo session...yikes!

[Khaospawn]

Doc, after 30, I'm just celebrating anniversaries. Like, for example, I didn't recently turn 31. I merely celebrated the 10th anniversary of my 21st birthday.

[photodyer]

Neila Fynn. You're welcome.

Another image search.

Pretty happy about it.

Here's the whole photo session that that image came from...yes please.

[photodyer]

And for Khaos (well, besides the pretty girly pics I just linked):

Also I wasn't aware steampunk erotica is a thing, but I'm glad that it is, and I'm glad she's a part of it.

[Valdarith]

I chose red for our Sunday prerelease.

[Kaitscralt]

Shame on you

[Valdarith]

It actually wasn't on my radar until late. Early on I wanted to play blue.

[DocLawless]

And for Khaos (well, besides the pretty girly pics I just linked):

And now one for Ham.

[Valdarith]

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

[Stardust]

It actually wasn't on my radar until late. Early on I wanted to play blue.

What wasn't on your radar? Red's actually good now?

[Kaitscralt]

No

[Khaospawn]

Iron Kitty made me lol.

[Stardust]

No

You're choosing blue, aren't you?

[Dechs Kaison]

I'm debating whether to even go to the Prerelease.

I'm an EDH player mostly, otherwise I'm mono black legacy, so I don't see much in this set worth me trying to get my hands on. I mean, sure, it could be fun...

[Kaitscralt]

Yes @ blue, if I go

[Kaitscralt]

It's so tempting to avoid the neckbeardian gathering, but my Belza is having two Belza's over tomorrow, so I sort of want to be out of the house

[Valdarith]

You play for the store credit, Dechs.

[Stardust]

If one Belza can get you banned I'd hate to think what three could do...

[Dechs Kaison]

You play for the store credit, Dechs.

Sure, but at that point, why not just spend the $35 on stuff I want?

I'm actually pretty terrible at this game. I've stayed in the top half at all my draft events only by luck.

[Kaitscralt]

Scary
