Played against a sick Mech rogue with Gallaywix yesterday. Iron sensei even if it only lives one turn is so dam annoying. Mechmage is prob still better though.

neat little thing done by CBSnews on esports. Most of the information to us is pretty well known, but at least it's getting mainstream ground?

I immediately assumed that they worked that way because they're phrased just like sorcerer's apprentices. How could you interpret it differently?

Then we code it, we test it, we get feedback from him, and in the end we give him the program and the instruction booklet as well as the installation manual so their tech guys can put it online. Then for upcoming months we remain available to fix errors that may not have been noticed, and they pay us if they want to extend this period, or add new things.

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".

Na when that happens you just lynch him.

yeah, we've got other teams that essentially do that for various products that we've created

my department maintains our BusinessObjects platform, so we do basically everything like that except create the actual product (although I'm not a developer)

So last night we watched Guardians of the Galaxy. Some people had seen it, others not. When we were done, we did all the bonus features and stuff, and looked at the time.

"Aw man, it's like 10:30 that's too late to start (whatever 3-4 hour movie we were going to watch next)."
"Well... we could just watch Guardians again?"
"Ok."

Cinema downtown will screen Akira in mid-January, subbed. Guess I know what I'm going that evening, that'll make some of my culture (then I'll have to read it some day anyway).

If I have a set of relatively crappy speakers, is it worth it to get a pair of $80 speakers, or do I have to spend a lot more to get really good sound?

I spent $25 on my speakers and I get great sound.

That being said, my speakers were like 60% off and I probably don't have as high as standards as you when it comes to quality of music so take what I said with several grains of salt.

Are your speakers really crappy or are they just half plugged in?

I think generally speaker quality has not gone up and if you get a pair with old wiring and rewire them you can get super high quality for a very low price.

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).

Freeze Mage vs. Control Warrior was a 90-10 matchup before GvG, and 100-0 matchup after. Shield Maidens made the matchup literally impossible.

As a note, 10+ does not have that many more control warriors.
