It only took 2 weeks for Hearthstone to become homosexual. The game is made as pay to win instead of free to play. It is damn near impossible to actually enjoy the game when you get gold every 3 wins and its 100 gold to buy a pack. Or you save and do Arena(150 gold). God forbid you complete all of your daily quests in a single day(get about 100 gold if you manage this) cuz that means you're waiting 72 hours to get 3 more quests. Also once you level up a deck and you start playing ranked games and you get a few wins then you get matched up with higher ranked people who guess what; Paid actual money to build their decks. You aren't gonna win those games. It will take extreme luck and shitty draws from the opponent to sniff a win against someone who paid money for packs.

Have yet to play it, but that was my fear, and it's a bummer to see it realized.

I just played a buddy of mine and it dawned on me(considering he just told me he spent 10 bucks on card packs) and as soon as he built the deck I was immediately outmatched. It bums me out how a company can be so greedy to actually ruin free to play. Fortunately there is a simple fix that would make it better and make the grind worth it. All Blizzard would have to do is offer gold for each game win or lose. 10 for each win and 5 for every loss. Instead of every 3 games. They just need give more gold for playing. That would immediately even the playing field. I told my buddy I might be done with the game for a bit cuz I broke it down like this

You have to win 50 games to get into an arena; There is no way you're gonna win 50 straight considering you'd continue to rank up
So you'll have to play more than 100 games before you even sniff the gold for an arena. Now we'll just round and say every game is 10 minutes a piece. You would have to grind for almost 20 hours to get into an arena to potentially make gold and a pack of cards if you do well enough. Otherwise you could leave with the bare minimum(mats for crafting cards)

Highly considering buying the Legendary Edition of Skyrim with all of the DLC. I picked it up way back when it first came out and got pretty deep into it but the bloated save files on PS3 were still a problem and the results of that just killed my interest in digging any deeper. I feel like there's a ton of stuff I missed even not counting the DLC.

Any PS3er's still get down on Skyrim from time to time? Everything I've read online suggests that the save file issue was fixed awhile ago.

Is Kusher the Bosmer going to have to make a come back?

He had an exceptionally douchetastic meltdown, even for his standards, took his ball, and stormed home.

But don't worry he is having a "better life" without VSN.

He doesn't have time for us anyways, just look at his twitter talking about...us, for quite a long period of time. Pretty much since he left.

I actually disagree with killgod on this one....DO NOT LOOK at his twitter.

I made that mistake once. It's amazing to me 1) how much he talks to himself; and 2) how whiny he often sounds about EVERYTHING. Have not gone back.
