I'll stick with my casual chocolate milk… with crosshairs. >:)

Looks like the Warcraft movie will happens for real this time, and I feel like it come a couple of years too late.

There is absolutely no way the movie will reflect the current state of WoW lore with steampunk gnomes, kung fu pandas and space goats.

But if the movie won't reflect the current lore… what's the point? I guess they could (and will) dig the classic WoW lore focused mostly on orcs and humans but even I who played the original games feel it represent the modern Warcraft franchise.

Still, I expect it to be better than Star Wars, and I am surely going to watch it… assuming it IS released, of course.

People complained about me not doing enough research about the Warcraft movie and about it being about «Warcraft» and not «World of Warcraft».

To start I did point the movie won't reflect the current WoW state, this means they had to dig the previous state, i.e. the pre-WoW lore. I don't need to do research to recognize the elements of classic Warcraft on the trailer, because I still remember when Deadmines was a map on the classic version, thou I don't remember what I had to do there…

However, I (and others) don't care about the classic Warcraft lore anymore. It's been TOO long. For all intents, Warcraft for me now has pandas, gnomes and purple elves.

Sure, I think the old lore was better, with humanity trying to defend itself against the green rampanging tide but for better or for worse, Blizzard made the orcs shamanistic, turned draenei into good boys and inserted pop culture references in every spot they could.

Maybe 5 years ago I would care, but now anymore. The new lore is too silly for me to enjoy, but it's «canon» and I won't live in the past reliving the lore from 20 years ago.

Now if someone is excited about it, go for it, enjoy the flick, eat some pop corn, have a good time.

For me, it's too late, and I can't watch the Warcraft movie has anything more than another fantasy action move.

If Ant-Man got a movie, any Marvel character may get one I guess.

Until Hollywood suck Marvel dry, I expect movies from any caped hero out there.

Now it's only a matter of time until the Power Pack blockbuster.

New Hearthstone expansion announced. Inspire mechanic looks cool. I'll probably throw some buck at it to get a better start.

There is also a cool XCOM2 gameplay trailer out there. I usually wait but I'll probably XCOM 2 at launch eve with a huge backlog looking angrily at me.

My tablet's stylus is behaving oddly lately, which is partly the reason I been updating so late. I guess I should just cut my losses and buy a new one.

She forgot to hold A and tap left twice before opening the case.

And for those curious, techincally all the girls get money for being on Nerf NOW!! (no slave labor here) but Angie gets the lion's share because she also produces the comic and is part of the cast.

It's probably something like 50% Angie and 50% for the rest.

Part of me want to try a Classic Iroman XCom run, or maybe a Long War run.

Another part says I'll just get pissed at the poorer parts of the game so perhaps it's time for a new game?

Suggestions?

After collecting strategies on the internet I found a easy way to beat it on Classic: Squadsight Snipers.

That's basically it. You use your 2 first months to babysit your Sniper until he gets Squadsight and use him to kill almost everything. It's boring, it's slow but it's safe and reliable, and if shit hits the fan you can always retreat your Sniper to the Skyranger and get the fuck out.

Honorable mention to Shredder Rockets Heavies. Outside Snipers they'll be probably the only people in your missions killing stuff before the Sniper get big. 2 Rockets means (at least) 2 kills at the start of the game when everybody has 4 HP max, and usually beats your 30% chance to hit with guns.

The game has some nice, but unusable, ideas… Shotguns are super risky because advancing means bringing more aliens to the party. Shotguns should been a sidearm for Assaults, not a replacement for the rifle… though I love the sound and the animation.

I hope they fix this stuff on the 2nd game and I hope you have a bigger squadsize and a more streamlined interface. I could move and kill 12 soldiers faster on the original than I can do it with 6 on XCom.

And yes, I'm a Rikka fan.

For those who don't play Hearthstone, Magma Rager is seen by many as one of the worst cards in Hearthstone.

While some «bad» cards can sometimes find home on niche decks (like Naturalize on Mill Druid), Magma Rager is on that sweet spot it's bad, but don't provide any special effect noteworth.

And for those curious, it's badness come from the fact it only has one HP. It's very hard for it to survive until the next turn and it's trivial to remove.

For the sake of comparision you could just put a Injured Blademaster (4/3) or a Jungle Panther (4/2 Stealth) for the same cost.

I still think eventually we will get a legendary who generates Magma Ragers just so it will see some play.

How can I explain this…

Cloud 9 is a professional dota 2 team which is very, very unpredictable. They sometimes steal some crazy comebacks but they also throw away easy games with stupid mistakes, and they have a reputation (sometimes unfair) of finishing 2nd place a LOT.

Cloud 9 matches are bound to be entertaining because it can go either way.

Never bet on Cloud 9.

Never bet against them either.

Clowns gonna clown.
