That sort of schedule is ridiculous. Hope once it all ends, you end up with 2 month paid vacation or something.

woah woah woah

where was this and why was I not invited

edit: IT'S IN WALTHAM?! That's where my DnD/Magic/etc. friends are, and also where my sister lives lol. Damnit, that's too far of a drive to make for a Thursday night. I wish this was closer.

It's in Framingham., about 21 minutes west of waltham center. I guess it would still probably be too long of a drive... still at least 1 hour and registration was 6:30-7 (you could call ahead if you needed to), PM tourney tried to start at 7:00, though you could arrive later to play mid-tourney friendlies if you wanted to. It's too bad I already have a ton of stuff going on Thursday night or I would have been there every week since Feb.

I didn't compete in the tournament but for some games you could see me on stream in the audience (efame achieved)! I also did a lot better in friendlies than I expected for someone who had never touched PM before and practices smash once a year, though I only consistently beat another guy who only had melee experience.

If it's as casual as I'm expecting I'll probably love it. Kinda want something I can just pick up and put down from time to time (aka HS currently). I'm too cognizant of my terribleness at League but want a group game to play with friends/bros.

Well I mean, you can make any game as casual or hardcore as you like. For as much as we say about LoL, you can just play normals or 3s or Dominion or whatever and just dick around without making it a chore. I'm sure there will be people that are going to be super hardcore about Heroes as well.


Oh, did you get Alpha? Nice, lucker.

Also can we all notice that you can't shorten it to HotS because they alreaDY RELEASED ANOTHER GAME WITH THE SAME ABBREVIATION?

Heroes works just fine, everyone will know what you mean. Not every game needs an acronym as its shorthand.

Sounds like something Teut would say. Is you wife Irish, Wave?

? Past the tutorial, you never have to play against bots if you don't feel like it (at least I don't think). Definitely not worth grinding out all of the basic cards on them. Pick like 2-3 decks you want to use, and then dust the cards that aren't for those decks. Ezpz.

Edit: Teut pls, past the fourth volume all of Naruto was a dick measuring contest. Also why would you remind me of that Futurama episode ;;

Class was cancelled today, so that makes me a happy camper.

Also, to anyone who has dogs and has experienced them getting into porcupines, what do you guys usually do? My dog only has about 6 quills stuck to the front of her face right now. Will they come out on their own or is there something I should be doing?

Thanks.

@red_ See if you call Heroes of the Storm simply "Heroes" I'm going to think that you're talking about Heroes of Might and Magic.

But everyone calls that HoMM, even actually pronouncing it 'hom,' in my experience. I don't think there will be a whole lot of confusion if someone comes into this thread and says, "Who wants to play some Heroes with me?" HoMM would have a number next to it to indicate the game even if you called it Heroes(and that number would obviously be 3, but I digress).

Seconded @ Ketchup though, DotA2 is good, although I have been neglecting AD lately. I feel like I went back to an ex-gf(Diablo) that made some changes and promises she can be good for me now. This is clearly foreshadowing an angry breakup where I then beg DotA to take me back(you hear that RoS, you better fucking deliver).

Point taken, I guess for me though, me and my friends just call Heroes of Might and Magic just "Heroes" but not HoMM. But I rest my case.

YOU WIN AGAIN RED.
