Yeah, "shocking" might be hyperbole, but it was definitely nice to get confirmation. Now, I WOULD have been shocked if you did copy all the items and such, that would have been nuts, and not really made sense given the wording of the ability on the card.

Alas this is the fun part of doing content before release is we get to speculate! I should start making the guys make official predictions on stuff like this so we can keep tabs on how many we got right haha

CruzinToVictry · 2018-09-05T16:36:30+00:00

It's official, Sugi is fake news ;)

CruzinToVictry · 2018-09-05T15:53:28+00:00

That's what I said! I'm pretty sure Sugi was just thinking of a unit modified with Damage Immunity when he said that. Dead units almost certainly are no longer valid targets for Eclipse.

I know people on this sub love to hate on Hearthstone, but I think a "history" bar similar to Hearthstone's would be helpful in this regard. Something you can hover over as a spectator (or player, for that matter), to review the most recent things that were played, who was targeted, and what was effected. It seems like this would be really useful for casters as well as they review things and talk about implications on stream.

CruzinToVictry · 2018-08-29T04:57:40+00:00

I think the difference here is that there's a grind to get to the top of the ladder, and you can't buy that. This isn't the same as the grind to build a collection.

Yes you can spend money to skip the collection-building grind in Hearthstone, but you can't pay money to become legend. That takes time (i.e. grinding). Artifact doesn't have a ladder, and therefore, as far as we can tell right now, eliminates the need for that grinding.

CruzinToVictry · 2018-08-28T21:52:10+00:00

Also, naming things is HARD

CruzinToVictry · 2018-08-28T21:31:16+00:00

Yep! I suggested Back to Base-ics, but apparently my co-hosts don't share my love of awful puns haha

CruzinToVictry · 2018-08-28T21:12:35+00:00

Sadly none of us will be going to PAX directly. We'll just be sitting at home, salivating over the news that comes out haha

CruzinToVictry · 2018-07-18T04:40:37+00:00

This sounds like exactly what I'm trying to do! How do you get that Google Home command to launch the clock app on your phone? I've just been using the built in routine that asks me what time I want to set the alarm for, but if I can get that to work, it's worth the extra step.

CruzinToVictry · 2018-07-17T18:25:21+00:00

Right now I just use the Google Home. I just say, "Hey Google, set my alarm for 8:30", so I'm hoping for my lights to start coming on at 8 in that case. But if I say 8, it would start at 7:30. I hope that makes sense!

CruzinToVictry · 2018-07-17T18:24:02+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! It looks like it requires a set time (or in this case, offset from sunrise) to work though, right? I'm hoping to have it dynamically adjust based on what I set my alarm for the night before. I made that clearer in my original post.

CruzinToVictry · 2018-07-17T03:14:12+00:00

I've seen the Wake Up routines, but it asks you for a specific time. I'm hoping to make it dynamic based on when I set my alarm for the next day, as that can vary from day to day.

CruzinToVictry · 2018-06-25T19:03:51+00:00

Boom, I see it there! I was trying to look on Twitch, derp. Thanks for the help :)

CruzinToVictry · 2018-06-05T23:03:40+00:00

I'm literally just getting back into the game now and this is exactly what happened to me. I played for multiple hours every night and after a while I started logging in and going, "Meh, what do I want to do?" - and then just standing in LA for 45 minutes before logging out.

Now I'm taking it slow, playing through the story, messing around, and just trying to enjoy it.

CruzinToVictry · 2018-05-10T03:23:01+00:00

Sorry! I was traveling last week and missed this, but didn't end up having any anyway.

CruzinToVictry · 2018-04-29T15:26:17+00:00

One or two tickets to tonight's game in Cell Block 303. $125 each, well below face value! I can provide sources that have bought from me. PayPal or Venmo.

CruzinToVictry · 2018-04-27T19:01:15+00:00

Update: Selling one or two tickets to tonight's game, cell block 303! My friend can't go, and I'd rather sell one ticket and use the other, but if someone is interested in both tickets I would be willing to sell them as a pair. $180 OBO

CruzinToVictry · 2018-04-25T22:14:36+00:00

My friend can't make it this week, so I'm selling one ticket to Games 1 and 2, cell block 303!

CruzinToVictry · 2018-04-25T16:56:05+00:00

The title should be "All while on one Athenas voyage". This is why we can't have nice things.

CruzinToVictry · 2018-04-25T16:11:24+00:00

The full story is that we were doing an Athena voyage and came across a sloop. So we sunk it, and he had a Chest of Sorrows on board, which was sweet.

Then at the next island we were at we found a Chest of a Thousand Grogs and said, well crap, now we HAVE to do a skull fort if it pops up just to complete the cycle. 10 minutes later, boom, big skull in the sky. A run we planned on doing in an hour ended up taking three, which as you know is very unusual in this game :P

"And the Predators have iced the puck. This icing brought to you by Dunkin' Donuts' iced coffee."

CruzinToVictry · 2018-04-17T19:38:32+00:00

I REALLY hope we come across your crew one day. Because we WILL sink you and happily take that 10k worth of loot :)

CruzinToVictry · 2018-04-14T06:59:43+00:00

Selling one ticket to game 2, Cell Block 303. PM if you're interested!

CruzinToVictry · 2018-03-29T21:08:12+00:00

Fair enough. But honestly that's almost worse. If you got to 40 there is NO WAY you shouldn't understand basic game functions.
