    5 Journey to Un'Goro Cards That Could Already Use a Nerf

    Yeah, you can use cards that modify stats (wild pyro/equality work just fine), but if you use polymorph spells (Poly, Hex, Devolve), that creates a new minion, and all new minions are 5/5. Run 2 Dirty Rats when you notice they're strip-teasing out a Novice Engineer with Shadowstep. It will...

    5 Journey to Un'Goro Cards That Could Already Use a Nerf

    A couple of comments: The rogue quest reward can be silenced, but not transformed. Use Sunkeeper Tarim, or actual silence effects. Or taunt up. I can clear over 50% winrate with midrange Paladin. Maybe I'm just glad this archetype made Paladin good. They have a ton of effective board clears...

    How YouTube Can Fix Itself

    I thought I remembered a court case putting responsibility on copyright holders to consider fair use before issuing a DMCA notice, so I Googled "supreme court fair use cases" and found this: http://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/cases/ Consider Fair Use Before Requesting DMCA...

    How EA Can Regain Trust on the PC

    Shamus, You listed number 5 twice. Not a big deal, but it kicked me in the O.C.D. when I saw it. Thanks,

    New Rick & Morty Game "Pocket Mortys" is Exactly What You Think it is

    Steven, This is not the first mobile game from Rick and Morty! You're forgetting Jerry's Game! For shame!

    Why Is Destiny Suddenly Among Your Downloaded PS4 Games?

    I can think of a reason apart from your suggestions that make sense for Sony: if they download it to PS4's during "off-peak" times (overnight, during business hours), they can reduce or spread out network congestion from people trying to download it on the weekend or early evening. It's still...

    8 Retro Videogame Ads You Won't Believe Are Real

    I had a Handy Boy for my Gameboy. I can't remember if I bought it on my own or if it was a gift. I remember enjoying it up until I left my entire Gameboy carrier on a chartered bus during a school trip.

    Judging By The Cover: Doom: Mutant-Laden, Laser-Saturated, Blood-Spattered

    This video series is better than I imagined it would be. Let the back-handedness of that compliment sink in a bit.

    The Reason You're (Not) A Console Gamer

    I'm a PC guy, and it's almost entirely due to price point. We have a PC because we need a PC. On top of that framework, I can spend 100-200 dollars on my birthday or Christmas and treat myself to a stick of RAM and a video card, or a new monitor, or a new headset, because the rest of the year I...

    Hearthstone Player's Dad Makes Him Pick College or Game Tournament

    You obviously have a bone to pick because you were ungrateful for your parents' generosity. I held a job every summer between school years, even took summer classes (summer school - another reason his parents might have said no). You can hold a job too if you cultivate a working relationship...

    Hearthstone Player's Dad Makes Him Pick College or Game Tournament

    As a parent, I don't think it's a problem for a 21 year old child to go to a video game tournament in the middle of summer. However, let's imagine that you live at home and part of that environment includes getting a job to help pay for living expenses during school. Nobody can land a job with a...

    The Highs and Lows of Gaming in Virtual Reality

    On the same vein as this (and pardon me: I don't own Elite: Dangerous), can you remap the right analog stick to other functions, like the landing gear? If that's a ridiculous suggestion, I apologize.

    Tomorrowland - Problematic and Preachy Sci-fi Adventure

    I like this review if only because I tire of hearing about games and entertainment media bending backwards to push an overt liberal agenda. This review obviously doesn't fit that mold; thanks.

    Hatred and the Catharsis of Violence

    Again, not defending the game, nor suggesting knowledgeable artistic commentary on the part of the developer, but a game like this and an article like Shamus' make me realize that you don't exactly see any baby carriages -or hell, even average people- in GTA games. With that said, if you're...

    Hatred and the Catharsis of Violence

    This game concept doesn't appeal to me, and I don't have any illusions that the creators of Hatred are trying to rise to a level of artistry, but I do like the statement that a game like this makes about violence. It doesn't try to provide context or make excuses for the player in support of...
