    I'm going to specialize in watchfulness.
  • oh Yarrun, i talked to Carlos about your suggestion for my blue/black zombie deck, he says it's not a great pick b/c there really aren't any high-cost cards in the deck, or any infinite combos.

    how's DCSS going?

    I need to remake my B/R knight deck.

    I, on the other hand, feel reasonably confident saying that all LWers are lotus-eating shitheads who would make fun of firefighters at the site of a fire if they thought it would increase their rationality XP

    Man, it's not about expensive cards or infinite combos. It's about playing it, using blue draw cards to fill up your hand, and then swamping your enemies with zombies. 

    But I'll admit, Rooftop Storm does take some building around to make it functional, and you'd have to add a couple of cards to make it as useful as humanly possible. I suppose you could look at Grimgrin, if you haven't already.

    The Octopus Conjurers have been consistently stopped on the early levels. Might try assassin again, or monk.

    Agreed on LWers.
  • Fossilmeido: are there many knights in MTG?

    Yarrun: i think your deck idea and his are conceptually different then. also, octopodes are awful at any kind of melee you know.
  • Exalted is a neat mechanic. i played a deck with it as the focus yesterday, we got DOTP 2013 when it was free that one time.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.

    I thought that Feynman was good at (almost) everything and (variably) smug about (much of) it long before he started playing the bongos.

    ^^ Is that strictly necessary?

    Bongo Fury
  • Is that strictly necessary?

    it is necessary for Feynman to play the DK Bongos strictly

    he must keep perfect rhythm

    OR ELSE

    Yes.
    We need walls to keep out such people.

    We cannot allow people like that, intelligent, smug, snarky, witty, better than you, all in all bullies towards us dumb people, to be in our society.

    We may be thugs but at least we ain't smug.

    Also, that Archimedes jerk won't let me touch his circles.


    Man, it is so hard to oppress thought these days.

  • I work for Reuters. I’m a journalist in the media business.

    Back in 2008, I sat in a conference and reviewed some proposals to integrate news sources focused on electronic gaming into our RSS service as niche content providers.

    We considered IGN, Gamespot, and a few other syndicated online info feeds.

    Now, in order to white label a source as affiliated with Reuters, you need to run through a checklist of ~100 items that are necessary for journalistic integrity. The source and its organization has to score at least a 60 out of 100 for it to be considered fair and unbiased.

    These tests are carried out by senior journalists, editors, and investigators.

    NONE of the gaming publications scored higher than a 15. For reference, the National Enquirer scored a 38 and the MSNBC blogosphere scored 44.

  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    I've heard that game publishers have been essentially buying reviews since the 1980s. Ashens has pointed out instances of it happening in the Speccy era.
  • Does anyone else get a little suspicious when a setting looks "too sexy" -- in the sense that it looks too made-to-appeal-to-the-audience and you sart to wonder when and how many setting inconsistencies /stupid things and/or plot holes will pop up?
