I've been saying "borked" for ages. Today I learned that refers to Robert Bork, a really contentious supreme court nominee who was blocked for something he said back in university, which basically started the current trend of nominating people with as small of a paper trail as possible in order to give congress the fewest possible reasons to block them.

I find tony hawk runs to be pretty fun, mega man is always fun, if you missed it in previous years Spyro is pretty fun, Freedom Planet is actually a really fun game to play (even if the "plot" is hopelessly camp) and I'm interested in that speed run, Escape Goat 2 seems interesting, Mark of the Ninja is a great game and that speed run should be interesting to watch... I've always liked the Trine series, Shantae would have spoilers for me but I've heard very good things about that game, and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror should be interesting (that was a very fun kirby game and it has metroidvania elements so the pathing is interesting). I don't really follow particular runners but the games I just listed are good and so should be at least entertaining to watch.

tony hawk should be pretty meme, dishonored is a good run
bionic commando but that's already covered by PJ
necrodancer maybe
d2 at least is not sorc and red is right after so should be easy to catch some of it. but wouldn't go out of my way

mark of the ninja without oob might be ok, i only know any% and its completely terrible to watch.

other than that crystals pony adventure, the harry potter and the barbie game look like they have the most meme potential, could be worth

i'll likely also watch sw:kotor and splinter cell in hopes of memes but this is not necessarily a decision i recommend.


overall pretty weak

I've played a few drafts of EMN on xmage, is it me or is the power level of the cards in that set absolutely crazy high?

I think 30/200 cards have been spoiled so far.
Must have been some draft

Edit: unless you're referring to eternal masters (EMA) in which case yes they are, because many of them are legacy staples not legal in modern. It's a great draft format.

oh yeah, I mean EMA. I feel rather retarded now. I kinda assumed it's a new set LOL
well it kinda is but it's all reprints and not legal in standard, right?

Yes. No new cards, none of them legal in standard aside from the ones already currently in standard (like that 3/1 elf)

Finished my OW placements going 6-4 (LWWLWLWLWW). That put me at skill rating 56.

I'm slightly above average guys!

So Wizards confirmed garbage Ulrich only werewolf DFC in EMN.
Oh yeah, you liked your tribes? Well then, EDH still plays Ruric Thar because when we announced the legendary werewolf we never said it had to be decent, and limited picks up a wolf or two in pack 3 for the good stats. Yay.
They can't even put synergy cards (let alone good ones) unless they print a bunch of non-flip werewolves, or wolf with the cards saying "wolf or werewolf", because you won't get enough cards to have a payoff.

I mean, it's not like people liked using mechanics anyway. See Awaken and Converge in BFZ, who actually liked them? Better print Wall of Resurgence and nothing else since lore-wise the land is dying, wee. Get Cohort instead.

Also calf cramp two days in a row isn't conducive to exercising.

I crafted my Darkest Dungeon badge in Steam and I got the stress emote. Fitting... probably the one I wanted most, not a huge fan of Wilbur that jerk of a pig.

You still lose. I don't know of any game that doesn't give you a loss if someone leaves. It's generally there to prevent abuse or people gaming the system.

At least losses like that are mercifully short games, unlike something like league.

Even then, it's important to consider a couple things.
First, individual losses aren't going to impact your own ranking a ton, and as you play you'll get to where you're 'supposed' to be anyway.

Second, apparently your ranking is determined not by W/L, but by your performance and comparison to what the average performance of that hero is on that map or something like that. Should read Kaplan's post on how competitive mode works.

you just lose less points if you did well, if you lose you're still sliding down the rankings.

That sounds fucking awful if true. Other games have toyed with the idea to linking mmr to things other than win/loss and it ends up being abusable or just garbage every time.

How is this determined? Per minute vs absolute stats? Percent of X vs raw stats? Things that generate 'heat score' like they use for determining cards and the stupid ranking sites? These are all garbage and lead to horrible behavior if figured out, where as while winning can losing will have some sob stories here and there it's proven time and again to work best.

This actually upsets me a bit even as a person who has done his share of 'performing well relative to a baseline' in losses.
