Nerf Now!! 1621 - 1630 (D)
Nerf Now!! 1621
After finishing Endless Legend I started Dungeon of Endless and to my surprise who I meet there? Our favorite mercenaries, Heavy, Medic, Pyro and Engineer!
It's nice how the TF2 mercs have some nice custom animations for stuff like opening doors, but damn if Engineer sound for «operaring» a module doesn't get irritating after a while.
Fun game, I think I'm close to beating it, but looks like the last 2 levels are kind hard..

I really wanted to talk about Aui_2000 being kicked from Ti5 champion EG, but I juuuust started this little arc and really don't want to break the flow so here is a double update.
If a team want to shuffle, now is the time. There is a good pool of players wanting to change home after subpar performance in the championship and after some months you can't swap players without losing your spot in the majors so the time for change is now.
Is kicking Aui_2000 the best course of action? Well, there is this popular saying which says «you don't change a winning team» however, EG current captain, Fear, is going to suffer a surgery on his arm and is stepping down the captain role to play support, thus opening a spot on the carry slot.
Now, EG has 3 options.
Keep the current team and shuffle players around in different positions.
Kick Fear.
Kick Aui and pick a new player to fill Fear spot, which is what they did.
EG manager said this was the players decision on «what was best for the team» but I disagree. This was the majority of the players wanted but I hardly believe EG will end up stronger with this new lineup.
Let me just say both Arteezy and Sumail are very much Dota players, with all the babyrage, mad and salt the title deserves. I expect lots of juicy drama about this new lineup on the coming months.
But hey, I may be wrong and the team end up being the most succesful dota team ever made, but I won't be betting my rares on it.

Been playing several different games those days, Dungeon of the Endless, Endless Legend and Titan Souls but no games REALLY clicked me.
Here I am waiting for some hidden jewel to pop up and blow me.
This said, all those games are fine enough and there is always Hearthstone, TF2 and Dota to fall back.

Dungeon of the Endless is a curious game.
I can't say I really enjoy the way the game plays, the RNG can fuck you up hard, and I dislike how when you open the next door monsters appear from outside the screen and there is no way easy way to deal with the new waves of monsters without pausing a lot unless you want to trust your defense and hope for the best.
This said, I realy wanted to beat it a 2nd time just to know if my strategy of focusing on industry production would work and kinda does. 3 heroes with high Wit operating stuff gave me 2000 industry on the last map which made the room almost easy but I played it on the «too easy» setting so take this with a grain of salt.
However, the game is too frustating and long for me to play on «easy» so I call it a victory. I guess on harder setting building a proper kill zone with a mix of a strong hero and right turrets is vital, as opposed of my strategy of having every room lighted up and with multiple turrets.

The month after The International is kind of dead for Dota. All big teams are resting or shuffling and no relevant tournament happens.
I'm curious to see how the teams will behave after the dust settle. Fans will blame any defeat to either the team not taking it seriously or adapting to the new players and patch but eventually a new power ranking will arise.
Still, what matters in the end is victories. Secret was ranked the best team to ever grace dota and after their lost Ti5 news arose of the team being a ego ridden mess going thru the motions.
I'm sure everybody will have an eye on Evil Geniuses to know how they'll go after the change but I think their biggest enemy may be a patch which'll nerf some of their strongest heroes.

I had so much to explain on this strip I had no solution but to draw a long page to put it all in.
Well, nothing more I can say without spoiling it. Changes are coming, I hope you guys will enjoy it. :)
On non-comic things… I also opened my 40 Hearthstone packs, got Avianna, Fizzelbag, Rhonin and golden Dreadscale. All in all, a good batch… maybe I'll buy 40 more packs to get all the needed commons before starting to use my dust. I think Effigy will be a game changing card but that's just my lowly rank 5 opinion.
p.s. I probably should find a new tag for the strips centered about the girls, maybe «The girls» will work?

I created a new tag called «Nerf NOW!!» so you guys can find the strips focused mostly on the girls misadventures on the brave new world. Kinda obvious but this is for the best when picking tags.
Tried to do something fancy for this page but it end up failing over and over and in the end I had to work with just what I can currently do. Oh well…
On the gaming side, face decks are struggling (at least against me) and armor can get ludicrious ammount of armor super easy. You see a warrior with 10 + 30 armor with upgraded +4 armor per tun and you think «how the hell I gonna chew thru all of this?»
