I appreciate the warning. I guess I'll just stay in my bunker playing Street Fighter, Mercenary Kings, and TowerFall with my buddies. Thank god for indies bringing back local multiplayer!

Part of me doesn't think that MtG will set a negative precedent with this. From what I've heard so far, more than 2/3rds of the mechanics in Hex are lifted and renamed from MtG. A lot of TGCs have a few basic similarities, but I don't think I've ever seen something as brazen as this. As long as folks don't do this…

Seriously. This cover just screams Photoshop contest. Make it happen, Kotaku.

It's a part of life that will never go away, sir.

"Yess yess dahling, positively spaaaackling."

I posted two annotations, one to effect of your impression, and another regarding Pete Holmes. My conclusion is that this guy is an unholy combination of Patrick Stewart and Pete Holmes.
