    Final board. VR is only there as a technicality, because they showed Arkham Shadow a few times, but that's it, so it's smaller.

    Fixed, eventually. Thanks. That's an embarrassing one.

    I'd be fine with the token thing if they gave us 4 heroes by default. But this is ridiculous. I get BG needs to make money, but there's gotta be a middle ground there.

    Opened The 8 Hands From Beyond, Dirdra, Rebel Captain, K'ure, the Light Beyond, The Gravitational Displacer, and The Ceaseless Expanse. Been playing Renethal Starship Warlock in Wild (just got into silver), and it's a ton of fun. Feels like an inevitable force of nature just waiting to overwhelm your opponent.

    Oh, whoops. I went by memory, since both series are crazy co-op games where you must deal with a small space. Also, if you click on the dev name on the web version of Steam, it will redirect you to a Steam search that also includes Overcooked, you have to press on "Homepage" to actually get to the dev page. Not sure if this is an issue with Steam or it's because I'm using the Augmented Steam extension. Will just cross out the Overcooked part.

    I have the 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro+ (in transparent purple, we need more transparent tech), they're great products. This one won't see much use outside of N64 emulation, since most modern games use the second analogue stick a lot, though I could see it being great for fighting games.

    I think they made it so that cards can't generate themselves a while ago.

    What worries me is that it says "turns", plural. Does that imply it makes the effect permanent?

    Pre-edit: Forgot to send the comment, thought I closed the tab and couldn't be bothered to re-write it, and now I found it. So here it is, a few days late.

    Ok, but that controller actually looks sick.

    Played a little bit of the demo. Everything set to high at 1440p, I was getting 80+ FPS in gameplay with very few stutters. That's not bad at all. 

    I say "in gameplay" because everything drops to 60 in cutscenes, probably on purpose. That's a little disappointing, but nowhere near as much as the fact that there's basically no ultrawide option, ultrawide resolutions just add black bars to the side. Hopefully modders will come to the rescue there.

    I recognized the art style pretty quickly. It's a nice style that blends well with turn-based games, apparently.

    If that's not the attack line, I'm sending Ridiculous Hat as strongly-worded letter.

    Welp, this is officially the weirdest card in the game. Not sure how playable it is, 7 mana for a 4/2 weapon is quite a lot. Interestingly, it has anti-synergy with both Branns.

    Also, looks like Warrior will be themed around cooking.

    Edit: Oh, happy birthday, Demon! Have a sandwich cake.

    The Dream: A deck that focuses on swarming the board, summoning and killing Ouroboros, then giving its Deathratttle to a lot of minions in your hand with Tamsin's Phylactery, with N'Zoth summoning a board of 8/8 Taunts in the process.

    The reality: Dead long before that happens.

    I didn't include it since it was "revealed" during Day 7. Thankfully, they updated the gallery (which I didn't expect, since it's the weekend), so it's there now.

    What are you talking about? The thumbnail is accurate. There's no vengeance. :p

    Edit: In hindsight, I can see this being really annoying for people who are excited for DH, but not Rogue (not to mention screwing over the person writing the reveal article, I know how that one feels cough Thijs cough). Personally, I like Maestra and Thief Rogue, so this didn't bother me that much, but I understand the annoyance.

    The location plus a quick explanation for how the card works from Leo:

    Sanc'Azel Card Image

    Quote From Leo Hearthstone

    Here's how Sanc'Azel works:

    The Attack of the minion is tied to the Attack-buff of the location

    The Health of the minion is tied to the Durability of the location

    If you play Blessing of Kings on Sancazel (+4/+4), making him a 7/12, and he attacks a 5/5, he will be a 7/7 location. The location then gives a friendly minion +7 Attack and Rush, and becomes a 7/6 minion because 1 Durability was lost from using the location.

    Also worth noting: if you attack -> use location -> attack, then he will be a CLOSED location
