Hearthstone – My little digital debate

09/15/2015 AusterityDeck, Events, Hearthstone, Life Comments Off

For anyone who cares I used to love paper CCG’s, Magic or Yo-gi-oh, but spent a large portion of my time playing a WWE CCG called RawDeal. It was fun, nerdy and actually VERY well supported by the WWE – so winners got to meet superstars, have replica-belts etc etc.

Then it got cancelled – Sad times.

So why Hearthstone over games like Magic?
The answer for me is pretty simple – Its digital.

Digital cards are the future. It will stay interactive, flexible and in Hearthstones case very very mobile. Shall i continue?

So this will be a pretty image based update (again).

Since the mass pack opening i’ve been tweaking the mage deck and seeing how it plays in the ranking ladder.

So its been pack opening day!

I’ll admit I was thinking about recording it, but with Hearthstone being so far into its life, a youtube movie of someone opening 20 packs didnt seem like a massive milestone for the game…

Infact, I wish I had recorded it…

The great austerity (card) game – Part 4

So its been a while since I updated this ‘project’. Mostly because I’ve had no major updates, and mostly because its just been fun (also very frustrating) grinding out the quests and bouncing up and down the rankings.

After the stunning success of the Inn Keeper beat down & the forming of the basic Mage deck I decided it was time to spend some gold on an arena key.

So first few days have been pretty good.

Tutorial is better than I remember – working through that gives your a few simple quest rewards and some gold. Once that was done it was time to grind out the mage leveling.

Suck it Illidan – Cheater!

It’s been a while since i posted anything game related on this site.
Mostly the site’s been relegated to a place where I bitch about people or derail relationships. So this is me aiming to correct this.

I may be a late starter to Blizzard’s online CCG – Hearthstone but I’ve rapidly been getting into it. Great YouTube people like TrumpSC and RyzanTV, both doing regular streams with the lure of adventure and fun deck designs.

Seeking out a new thrill

So for those of you who don’t know I play a game called Eve Online, I’ve played it on and off for many years, giving it a large vacation during my blizzard employment time.

Essex Pride

09/05/2010 Events, Life Comments Off

So on a quiet Sunday I decided to do a little exploring.

Twitter had been dropping a few mentions of Essex Pride, and with the other prides having happened on Saturday or the weeks before I decided to put on my journo hat and take a venture down to see what Essex could rustle up on a quiet Sunday.
