The Nintendo Switch II Will Be Revealed by the End of the Fiscal Year, New Direct in June

The Switch might still be worth a purchase, since it has a huge library and I don't expect it to lose suppoer just yet (at least from Nintendo, third parties are probably gonna jump ship). But, seeing as the new …

Fun things that make the game more fun (but don't affect gameplay)

If you play an OTK deck and don't yell "EXODIA, OBLITERATE!" when hitting them for Lethal, why are you even playing it?

What Are You Playing? - May 2024 Edition

Just finished the Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (great time), making my way through Shadow of the Colossus (the horse sucks), will maybe start a New Game + for Ghost of Tsushima (latest update added stuttering, waiting for a …

How Much Have You Spent on Steam?

 

Been on Steam since 2012, so that goes to about 135 USD per year. Of course, it doesn't include spending in other places (though I'm sure Steam is more than all of those combined), so it's not …

Patch 29.2.2 Launches Today With Changes To Reno, Zarimi, Zilliax, Wheel of Death, and Much More!

Alright, Blizzard, we get it, The Crystal Cove is a reference to The Caverns Below, no need to re-enact its stat changes.

Also, nice "buff" to Sunset Volley, not like that's killing an entire archetype (though it's probably for …

Hearthstone's 10th Anniversary, Negative Player Reception, And Where We Go From Here

I actually played quite a bit last season after not touching the game in a long time, lol. Made it to Gold 5 in Wild with Renethal Rainbow DK and was playing a bunch of Battlegrounds. Will see if I …

Whizbang's Workshop Hearthstone Balance Changes Have Been Teased by Blizzard

Good, maybe now Reddit can stop complaining about Pala-ZILLIAX?! What'd he do?! He's innocent, I tell ye, INNOCENT!

Destiny x Ghostbusters, the Crossover No One Expected

When SMITE had a crossover with Transformers, I lost my mind. Now, my reaction is mostly just "Oh, neat". It's not really that special anymore.

I feel like these would be a lot more interesting if they were inspired …

All Whizbang's Workshop Day 18 Hearthstone Card Reveals - March 9

Didn't expect to see Babyface from Toy Story in this set. Also, I just realized Demon Hunter got a "Spirit of the..." card, but Death Knight, the class that most uses Undead, didn't. Maybe the mini-set.

Yeah, hopefully the mini-set. Like, Togwaggle trying to steal a bunch of toys from the workshop is a neat storyline.

Stitchensew: "Mr. Boom, why is there a fuse attached to that Rumbunctious Stuffy?"

Boom: "Oh, don't worry about it, it's just aesthetic. And I told you it's DOCTOR Boom!"

Stitchensew: "And I told you that having a PhD …

If anyone wonders what math has to do with a toy expansion, that's a metaphor for your parents telling you to stop playing and do your homework :P

All Whizbang's Workshop Day 16 Hearthstone Card Reveals - March 7

It's only lethal if the board is clear and you survive until then, which won't happen if you just cast random machine-gun spells all game. The spell is probably better suited for a control deck that helps you get the …

All Whizbang's Workshop Day 16 Hearthstone Card Reveals - March 7

Yeah, meant enemy hero.

I only included spells that deal direct damage. Obviously, Rune is great and Puzzlebox of Yogg Saron is the objectively funnier choice over Volley. I just got lazy typing :P

Alright, let's do some stupid amounts of damage with that orb! Do note that there's no 8 and 9 mana spells in mage that deal direct damage, and no 6 mana that deal damage to the enemy.

All Whizbang's Workshop Day 15 Hearthstone Card Reveals - March 6

Welp, Wild is gonna be a pain and a half with the new Raza. [card]Xyrela, the Devout[/card] is probably gonna be the biggest pain with the new card, since it doesn't lock you into Shadow spells like [card]Darkbishop Benedictus[/card] while …
