The most fun I’ve had with magic was a friend and I drafting two giant tower of power decks from a random pile of cards he’d picked up off E-bay. Then we just played multiple games using that pile, and any card discarded or used was permanently out.
This lead to much hilarity, like him pinging me to death with a Tim…

Based soley on the closeup of the PC at the beginning of the video... “The Tin-Man begins his epic quest across Oz in search of his heart...”

Something like this showed up in the Death Gate Cycle. An entire race got imprisoned in a planet sized sentient magical labyrinth. It took thousands of years, and many generations to get out. They were... profoundly not happy about the whole thing.

Abel always seems to get referred to as a replacement body, rather than a clone. Probably the same thing, I guess.
Makes me wonder if there is a yet unknown copy whose name starts with B. I’d suggest that Bison himself was the B, but there’s the whole different name in Japan thing.

Does any one else find it strange that every time Bison clones himself, the clone ends up Blonde? Decapre, Cammy, and now...Ed.

Now I want a David S. Pumpkins theme.

The chart I read was an extra 100k needed per level. So you’d need 12x the exp for level 1 to get 12 and up. Roughly speaking, 12 actively played victories, without the boost, I think. HOTS seems to reward some things more than others, so I’m sure there is some variance.

From 12 on is the same amount of experience per level, I think. So a slow and steady grind at that point.

Interesting. What determines the point at which satiation occurs / the reward stops being reinforcing? I imagine it varies per individual, but is there a general guideline?

I don’t know what it is, but the thrill of loot boxes burns out for me very quickly. When HOTS 2.0 launched, I power leveled a bunch of characters I hadn’t been using and got some 30 boxes in a weekend. For those two days I was entranced. Come Monday, their dark hold on me was relinquished.
Do they have a longer…

Of all the possible answers to ‘Where is Palmer Lucky’, I was not expecting this to be the answer.

It does make one wonder though. If simply sealing away Hell was always an option, and you were going to do it anyway, why bother with setting up Blue / Rouge.

Consume Kirby’s essence. Gain his power. The irony will be overwhelming.

Caps and restrictions still lists the trial as 14 days, but I imagine that just needs to be updated.
To ask, how long do characters last if you’re not actively subscribed? FFXI used to be pretty draconian about it? I ask because for work reasons, I might be able to swing an occasional month, but I probably wouldn’t get…

In response to the post title: Well, it’d be hard for it not to be, wouldn’t it?

Clearly they had called “base”.

That’s wonderful news. I adored the original, and I hope that this remake gets an American release.

I wonder if Capcom uses “balance” updates like this to incentivize its DLC sales? According to this article, Urien, a pay to play (or earn via the in game fight money) character is suddenly beastly (or more beastly). According to a recent article, Kolin, another pay to play character has the potential to dominate.
Do…

I’m not certain I agree. Biomega’s androids are typified by their reliance on overwhelming speed, if I recall correctly. Killy is never shown to be particularly fast. Instead he’s astoundingly durable, and he has an impossibly powerful weapon.
Also, the world depicted in Noise (the actual prequel to Blame!) doesn’t…

It’ll be interesting to see how people who are mostly familiar with Nihei’s work by way of Knights of Sidonia take Blame. The two have very different tones.
