The topic that truly matters.

I get tons of WOWs when I play my first card as Murloc Mage or Even Warrior/Rogue or other super fringe decks.

Sure, that's another use of it, yeah. But it's still not even close to the level of /sorry.

Like in that case it means "lol your deck isn't in the meta scrub" but do they /wow every turn?

And...if they do...it amplifies the sweetness of your victories :)

I think WOW is just about the same level as Sorry BM, honestly.

No way dude.

Well, at least, not from my experience.

People would just do /sorry after every time they played a card in any circumstance in which they were winning. But /wow is more like "goodness I can't believe how un/lucky you/I was just then!"

Sure some people do /wow to say "you suck" but to put it on the same level as /sorry? No way.

almost all of them for both consoles

So then what do you mean by SNES is objectively the best?

SNES is objectively the best but in terms of number of games I enjoyed the most its Gamecube.

Curious how many games for each you all played.

I'm trying to think.

Nothing stands out.

I feel like every time I'm nearing the end of an RPG, it's this same scenario where I stayed up til 2am and realized "I'm so close!" and just vowed to finish it that night, but the end of RPGs tend to stretch out longer than I anticipate, so then I'm still awake at like 5am wrapping things up and thinking "why the fuck did I play this all night I'm so tired fuck me fuck my life" so none of the endings seem all that great.

Maybe that's just me

When someone says thank you I almost always assume its BM.

Makes sense. I mean I never actually dove into researching but I assume the reason they got rid of /sorry is that is was used for BM 117% of the time

I'm a fan of the ambiguous well played where it's like, you're both at low health, you have lethal on board, they have no hand, draw their card, and you don't know if it means you won or lost

Ah.

I like to just watch the hate flow through them and I don't BM via emote unless they seriously were asking for it.

Plus the occasional /wow is perfectly fine when something ridiculous happens. Or /oops takes off a little bit of the sting when you seriously screw up.

But to each their own of course. I don't play at a highly competitive level so I'm just a filthy casual tryhard.

Is there a permanent squelch option nowadays?

KokoroAkechi posted...

Lmfao there is nothing better than someone bming you on turn 4 and turn on turn 10 you top deck lethal but make him wait the full 90 seconds

Yes the best thing is when they emote "Thank you" every single turn, and you never emote back at all, until the final, triumphant "go fuck yourself" emote of "thank you" back at them just before killing them.

Here lately I've been oddly consistent at making it to either 4-0, 5-0, or 6-0 in arena without ever exceeding 7 wins. Something like 8 or 9 of my last 10 arenas fit that description.

Wow, so, I just saw a reddit post about this.

Next weekend (July 13-15) there is an 8-team, approximately 50-hour relay race. Each team has 8-10 runners. It's a relay race of the 100% categories for:

-SM64, SMS, Galaxy, Galaxy 2

-Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, DK64

-Spyro 1, Spyro 2, Spyro 3

-Crash Bandicoot 1, Crash Bandicoot 2, Crash Bandicoot 3

I guess they did it last year, too, but I never heard about it. I probably won't watch much of it...but that's still a pretty cool thing.

I have no experience with this, but I do know a couple who both taught in south korea for about 1.5 years. If you have any very specific questions I can ask and get back to you.

Yeah my first thought about Bob-omb Battlefield being favorited by many was I wonder how many people played the game for HOURS AND HOURS as kids and never made it out of the first room in the castle.

I definitely see where Bob-omb Battlefield love comes from. I'd have to replay the game to give a good answer but that's definitely on my short list. I think it's because it's one of the most fun levels to just goof off in. Lots of open space, several cannons, wing cap, etc.

That's why I'm not too big on Tick Tock Clock. For me it's not fun because at every point I feel very confined and it just seems a bit too linear. I know there are a few branching paths, but it still makes me feel boxed in.

I think my favorite part of the first one was "who asked for pichu, anyway?"

Either that or "go assist yourself"

bump for charmander (and foolmo?)

I now realize I misread your post as "A Bard's Tale"

I'm now curious whether you were interested based on the description I wrote or based on name recognition.

Great_Paul posted...

Looked into that one, but it doesn't seem to be on sale

Hm. Where were you looking? It's on the list online for the PS4 sale.

https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP2641-CUSA06277_00-ABTA666666666666

I have to recommend A Bastard's Tale for $1.99. If you enjoy extremely simplistic timing/reflex challenges where you're guaranteed to fail 50 times before you succeed, it's worth it.

I wonder if they considered just making a new "giant" tag. I'm pretty sure that's a mob type in WoW.

Maybe they're printing an elemental crab.

yes! but make it a big crab this time because why not?

we need a big badass crab. Like a 7 mana, destroy a dragon, elemental, or demon and gain +3/+3 or something

next set: neutral 4 mana minion battlecry: destroy an elemental

wow that's absurd

I guess it's not too surprising, just disappointing? Like it's hard to think people are all that genuinely happy to see and interact with fans if they won't just do it for the sake of it. But that's just the biz I suppose.

Wow people exclaiming shock at $40 for pictures are not used to conventions lol

wow, ya got me!

I just looked up a list of noteworthy comic cons and found this list, of which exactly 2 are within a 6 hour drive from me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_comic_book_conventions

as it turns out, Fanboy Expo is closer to me than all those! but I think it still serves to make my point. I've just never been bothered to go out of my way to attend one.

Wow I just had a pretty ridiculous arena match. Paladin vs Warlock, we were at 3 health each, no hands, just topdecking, for like 7 turns. The sheer odds of that are so low. And we had boards, too. Voidlord with a blood imp against the 3/3 ooze that summons a 1/2 taunt each turn. I drew a 4/6 and he drew a peacekeeper. Just stuff like that. I finally won in the end but that was so tense.

Wait, it costs $40 to take a picture with him?

Well one is possible death and lots of unpleasantness, the other is 100% for sure instant death.

I'll go with possible death.

Apparently there's a real life harry potter but for lava instead of the killing curse.

http://www.iflscience.com/environment/volcano-lava-cold-fall-survive/

So technicaly you have a very minute chance to survive!

So in arena just now...my opponent had a timeline witness on board and buffed it with blessing of aeons. I'd hit the minion once for 2 damage, so it went from 2/2 to 3/3 and then to 4/4.

I was in a pretty terrible position and had to play a faceless manipulator turn 5 on his buffed 4/4. It got the blessing of aeons, but didn't buff at to 5/5 at the end of my turn.

While typing this I realized...I guess my copy would have buffed at the end of my opponent's turn, and not mine? Yeah that's probably it...was thinking it was just bugged. Either way that was a bit of a letdown when he just killed it with his truesilver and I thought I was playing effectively a 5/5.

I had to look up Mega Slowbro. Hadn't ever seen it before.

All I can say is wow.

It does seem like it would be difficult to fairly compare a town player vs a scum player from one game and say who played better. But I don't have any suggestions for a better way of doing it, either.

yep

I just watched the zelda 1 race this morning. Lackattack's run was so impressive. Deathless low% at a marathon. Wow.

Oh yeah, for anyone who, like me, was fooled by cliffy's blindfolded super mario maker level the first time...jaku pointed out to me afterward that the whole level is pretty much an autoscroller. You just hold up and right and it plays itself.

And yeah, like para said, the main draw of attending the event isn't the stream room itself. There were a few I really enjoyed being in the room - Super Metroid, Mario Maker, SMW, Pokemon, Shantae...a few others. But what I'm really taking away from it is all the people I met. Not just the big popular streamers (I only spoke with them for a few minutes), but all the regular attendees. With any sort of convention like that, I mean if you get 2.5k people with similar interests all in the same place, you're gonna have a good time.

There were a few rooms dedicated to casual gaming which just had dozens of TVs set up. People organized tournaments of various games and just enjoyed watching each other play. One whole room was dedicated to smash bros, with like 20 TVs. There was a room set up with several computers and a projector specifically for playing artemis bridge simulator.

It was just tons of fun overall and I'll definitely be attending again some time.

Today I found several pictures of me with popular streamers who I don't remember talking to. Lol. Hence me saying I drank too much.

Do they have any other screens to watch the gameplay there, or is it just on the TV?

They had the stream on two big projector screens facing the crowd. One on either side of the couch. Also, in a spot you couldn't see from the stream shot, there was a TV on the floor in front of the back couch (behind the main couch) which just showed the game display, not the full stream layout.

I drank too much.

Also got a selfie with somewes. Y'all should plan to attend AGDQ if possible! So fun. Unbelievable.

Got a selfie with oatsngoats. He's a super chill dude. I approached him at the bar with like a super "fangirl" story and asked for a selfie, and he was like "well shit this is bad lightning, let's walk over here for better lightning."

And then cliffy easily eclipsed that. Wow wtf. Unreal

My god that level failstream just did

So the final level was completed the fastest, right? >_>

Great choice

He finished blue. Was fighting Lance in both. First time I wanna say he got crit by dragonair hyper beam in yellow. Tried again and missed a blizzard or something. So he just finished blue because he was already a little over estimate.

Paratroopa1 posted...

That botch with using the thunderbolt on Dragonite seemed really weird, I have no idea why he fucked that up

I'm guessing he was pretty mentally fatigued after 3 hours of juggling two games. I think he might have mistakenly thought he was out of his other move.

Yeah, tough luck at the end there. If you remove the extra trip to the name rater for donation incentives and them struggling on communicating the spelling of one of the nicknames, it finishes less than 10 minutes over estimate. It's too bad he wanted to make sure he finished at least one game instead of just resetting both games when Yellow lost to lance, although I definitely understand why he chose that in that situation.

Personally had a blast watching that. After viridian forest and disregarding the trip to the name rater, it was pretty smooth. Ate a crit against sabrina but that was a quick reset. And another one somewhere...rival battle maybe? But he had saves right there both times.

Oh and the extra trip back to pick up an X Accuracy cost him a minute, too.

Stop! I is confused no more!
