There's no code to my knowledge, they just add it on your bnet account and that's it. At least that's what happened to me.

Not entirely true.

Gnimsh, Ekop, and a few other HS people were given FNF keys (~5) to give to people.

However that was like back in March.

I tried to explain my job to an artist last night. It's difficult to explain to someone who is computer literate, that was impossible.

When you said artist this immediately came to mind:

Although I'm like 99% sure when you said artist you didn't mean someone with such an ego that they thought that they themselves were art.

The problem is that computer sciences change so often. People can understand basic knowledge of computer logic and have no knowledge at all of the current iteration of technology being used unless they dabble in it. The "back in the day" for algebra, history, etc translates through an entire generation yet computing has accelerated at an exponential rate since the binary days.

He could probably understand how your job interacts with others, but your day to day goings? Consider that McDonald's secret sauce.

yeah, I can't even explain my job to my family, so I'm used to people not getting it and/or me not being able to convey it in a coherent way

If you have basic understanding of computers or computer science then it doesn't matter if it's changed since then if the person explaining what they do is doing it well. Unless Soniv is really bad at explaining things a person should get a basic grasp of what he does.

America sounds like a haven of weird and dorky guys dating hot girls. This is the new American dream!

Well, my job is pretty specific and in an industry that most people don't know exist. I have a unique skill set that I've learned in my department, and I help people that work for our customers to facilitate the product that we maintain for them.

What I said above is incredibly vague, but that's basically what my conversations boil down to.

Three days later, Frudgey went missing. The young man was never seen again.

When questioned about Frudgey's disappearance, Soniv simply said, "He's in a better place now".

Off-Topic wanted to question Soniv some more as he raised a lot of suspicion, but then they thought better of it. It seemed risky to ask the "computer science" man anything. Besides, the forum became a happier place with Frudgey's disappearance, as there was no one to ramble on about "Spider-Man underwear" and "The smelly odor from behind the fridge".

Also, since I'm pretty sure ladder is perfectly safe for this deck now,

My freeze mage decklist.

Cards to consider:

Loot Hoarder for Novice Engineer (more pressure as its 2/1 as opposed to 1/1, but if you can't waste 2 mana to ping it things go sour; prefer novice due to instant effect)

Counterspell x1 (hard to find room for this without removing x1 Ice Barrier, which is awkward and dangerous, but useful if you're looking to deny a heal, though this is less effective since people tend to use healbot, or can guarantee a Doomsayer-Frost Nova clear)

Antonidas (don't like it, but it can be used to draw more fireballs if you ever need it: unlikely, this deck has 57 damage between Alex, Pyro, and a full Thalnos x2 sorc rotation; sacrifices critical inconsistency for the possibility of beating GvG Warriors; not werth)


Play minion card draw first. They're weak early pressure, and AI can be used with the x2 sorc combo to quickly cycle through the deck if you're looking for a card.


Just to chime in, I haven't yet lost to this on my control warrior. 3-0 isn't exactly that great of a sample size but it seems a better deck for climbing to the single digit ranks, but less effective when there's more control warriors being played (ranks 5-1).
