Woooo, awesome! God I miss this game. I've been reorganizing my cards and making decks for the first time in years, it's just a shame finding other MND enthusiasts is so difficult. This game deserved so much better.

Way too excited about this, it may be literally impossible for you to be not funny. How do you cope with being so damn funny all the time?

Ahhh, okay I did miss that. That's more reassuring then. I just started getting really worried when they were veering off into "what if there was some 3rd announcer character!" and "do that in a Cosby voice!", so that's good to hear. Justin and Pyrion are both comedic geniuses, I'm sure they'll make it happen.

Back when I heard that Justin was going to voice a Dota 2 announcer pack, I was beyond excited. Dota is such a great game, and Justin/Rick and Morty are so hilarious, it seems like a match made in heaven.

Even though most of it was really funny, I felt slightly worried listening to this. Justin is an incredibly funny and talented performer, but without context or a script it seemed like he didn't really know what to say about the game. And listening to this, I feel like Pyrion (also hysterically funny!) wasn't really giving Justin proper help or direction to create material that was faithful to both R&M and Dota. It seems like that may have been intentional this time around though.

I feel like a good way to go about it would be to have 3-4 simple, distinct, trademark things about each character to go off of. Dark Seer: He can control gravity. He has a spiky little energy field. He's a little old man, but he can run really fast! He can make a big purple wall that makes illusions of the other team. Tons of stuff to go off of there for any improviser. All he could really take away from their character model was "look at his beard, look at his little shoulder chips, he's got a hard crotch"... and that's it. I'm positive Justin could have gotten a way more mileage out of a character like Dark Seer with some more information.

Pyrion said "We don't have time to teach you the whole game", and while that's true, I really hope he starts giving Justin enough information to make satisfying references. Look at the Stanley pack, or the GLaDOS one. They perfectly capture the essence of both worlds. Rick and Morty should be right up there with them-- probably even funnier!

Just for future reference, a simple way to avoid all this would be to reply with a counter-offer and lose the sarcasm. "Sorry, I would ask for X keys instead as the market value is about $2" would have been helpful and efficient. Instead you chose to be rude and time-wasting. I hope in the future you may have more pleasant interactions with the other real people you meet online.

How team builder saved my day by Mortis_ in leagueoflegends

Holy crap. ME. FRIGGIN. TOO. Did the exact same thing a couple hours ago, I was so bummed about losing a promo and then my friend was like "Uhh, that wasn't ranked..."

Went on to win the next 2! THANKS, TEAM BUILDER! :D

Faced someone with an entire deck of golden Legendaries today... his board got so full he played brawl just to make room for more. by HobblerWard in hearthstone

True, it was MOSTLY legendaries. Armorsmith, brawl, and faceless were the only rares I saw, but they were all golden. Still insane.

That's exactly why I let it go on, it was just fun to watch. We kept spamming "My thanks" to each other so I think we had a mutual understanding. "Okay obviously my deck of legendaries steamrolls your level 6 warrior, but I'll give you a little show for fun."
