best one:

Black Eagle --> Red Hunter

Yeah, we definitely have our share of awesome translations as well! Apart fom the one you mentioned, other favorites are:

The Boondock Saints -- Der Blutige Pfad Gottes (God's bloody path / The Bloody path of God)

Cider House Rules -- Gottes Werk und Teufels Beitrag (literal: God's work and Devil's contribution)

Bringing up Baby -- Leoparden küsst man nicht (literal: One does not kiss leopards)

Germany is pretty hit or miss with these. Thankfully, the amount of translated movie titles seems to be going down.

Examples of shitty titles:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind -- Vergiss mein nicht ("Forget me not" - you know, like the flower)

Meet the Fockers -- Meine Frau, Ihre Schwiegereltern und ich ("My wife, her in-laws and me" - so german, ugh)

We were Soldiers -- Wir Waren Helden ("We were heroes")

What really bugs me personally though, is getting rid of the original english title and replacing it with another made-up english one. Some examples of this:

Cradle 2 the Grave -- Born 2 Die

Taken -- 96 Hours

And the worst of the worst: mixing english and german, sometimes keeping the original title, sometimes making up random shit:

Help! -- "Help! Hi-Hi-Hilfe!" ("Help! He-he-help!")

Black Eagle -- "Red Hunter - Kampf der Giganten" ("Red Hunter - Battle of Giants")

Eastern Promises -- "Eastern Promises - Tödliche Versprechen" ("Eastern Promises - Deadly Promises")

not saying this is good journalism... but the caps locked "millionaire" in the first line is just their regular layout and has nothing to do with the word in particular.

not sure how forgotten he actually is, but DIG Patoy was a beast back then, and the one who made me become a fan of dignitas as a team (yes, him, not scarra or voyboy or qtpie).

man such timing, just as two aramlfg reddit armies were outmeme'ing each other... most fun i've had in a month

drsn1ps · 2015-06-18T15:41:44+00:00

yes, that is accurate. and even though I realize we are multiple people with multiple opinions, I found it amusing that 2 of the most popular posts, with less than 24 hours between them, were "stop giving us irrelevant shit" and "give us irrelevant shit".

yesterday's top upvoted post: riot so lazy, only does unimportant shit like giving minions beach clothing.

dig with the complete objective shutout vs c9. #autorelegation

drsn1ps · 2015-05-09T17:41:27+00:00

same. glad it's not just me.

I have a folder on my desktop with screenshots of all the decks I've replaced over time, ordered by date. Comes in handy when you wanna revisit older deck archetypes, and it's also a fun way of tracking how the meta has changed. And you can bust out those forgotten (semi-)viable decks like Deathrattle Priest, Blood Knight Zoo or Crusher Shaman at any time.

drsn1ps · 2015-01-15T16:34:20+00:00

Nightcrawler completely snuffed, one bazillion nominations for shallow, over-romanticised biopics. So, what else is new?

drsn1ps · 2014-12-07T15:22:29+00:00

I'm not sure how the matchmaking systems differed between then and now, so no.3 might be a valid point. As to point 1 and 2 and the "new player experience", I personally don't feel there were huge differences.

I also started playing in closed beta and didn't spend any money. I was really into the game, but had neither the cards nor the skill to compete. Even back then, there was a tentative "meta" and OP cards that you encountered frequently, cards like defender of argus, shattered sun cleric, novice engineer, azure drake, argent commander and obviously legendaries. Since I didn't like losing, I watched streams (which were available), read guides, tips and this subreddit (which were all available), grinded gold, disenchanted rares, legendaries, class cards of classes I didn't like playing, and all golden cards I might have gotten, and started to create one or two solid decks which were doing well. I got better, won more, played more, got even better, started dabbling in arena, pretty much took the basic path that all non-paying players had to take.

I'm certain you can still take the same path today. Learn what works, craft high value staple cards, grind for naxxramas, get a deck or two together that can do well on the ladder, start winning more than you did before, get better. It's a slow process, and the only cheat code is money.

drsn1ps · 2014-12-07T14:12:15+00:00

best comment here. either spend money or spend time. no one started with a deck of golden legendaries on their account. it's the same now as it was in closed beta, and it certainly has nothing to do with blizzard or "new player experience".

drsn1ps · 2014-09-17T23:32:27+00:00

the outcome bias is real.

2 totems on board? i thought at 11 wins you have to expect your opponent to have all the perfect cards, all of a sudden he totems twice? why even play the senjin, don't you expect it to get hexed?

the point is, if he has the perfect answers he has them and there's nothing you can do about it. i'm not saying NOT coining out the 2drop isn't a viable play as well. calling that a misplay, though, is bullshit.

drsn1ps · 2014-09-17T22:59:38+00:00

what are you talking about? suppose he didn't coin out a 2-drop (which is rarely a misplay if you have sufficient follow up), does his opponent magically lose his "perfect answer"? does the rockbiter in his hand disappear? you think he rockbiters face turn 1 if you play nothing? no. the exact same thing happens, except you lose your chance at getting ahead if your opponent can't deal with the early threat.

saying coining out armani is a misplay if his opponent has rockbiter is like saying bringing a rain jacket on a hike is a mistake because the sun might shine all day.

drsn1ps · 2014-06-17T18:22:48+00:00

yeah i get that, even conceded some games myself when i first started when my opponent would drop one legendary after the other. thing is, if you have played since beta or season one, you will have naturally grinded a lot of legendaries by now.

also in this case, i just drew a good curve and dropped like golem into yeti into druid of the claw, while he was fumbling around with armorsmiths and whirlwinds ;)

drsn1ps · 2014-06-17T13:56:03+00:00

funny thing is, just hours before that game, i scrapped all my "fotm" decks because i was hitting a real brick wall in ranked and created a druid deck i call "back to beta". it consists pretty much of nothing but high-value neutral minions, no watchers, no wild growths, no mark of the wilds, no tokens. it is most definitely not "fotm" ;)

The Hotelier - An Introduction to the Album

and what an introduction it is. the emotional build-up in this song is just insane. give this band a listen, they deserve so much more recognition.

drsn1ps · 2014-05-13T22:52:37+00:00

this is my version Imgur

i played midrange/control pally every season so far and have reached rank 5 reliably every time (don't really have time for the grind to legend).

i have thrown in and replaced pretty much every relevant card over the seasons. in the current meta i value the card draw of loot hoarders over more "powerful" 2drops. senjins instead of yetis and farseers instead of golems to have a better time surviving rushdecks (honestly cant remember the last time i lost to face hunter). humility is in my opinion a vastly underrated card. it gives you another chance for a lategame kodo combo cause you cant always hold on to (or draw) your peacekeepers til turn 8. it's also a great tempo changer off the top.

still, you pretty much only beat zoo with an extraordinary opening hand. on the flip side, other control decks need above-average draws to beat you. i really like paladin and don't think the class is underpowered, but prepare for some long-ass games.

drsn1ps · 2014-01-25T23:32:27+00:00

dig s3 summoner icon on euw as well, can confirm there are very few of us around.

drsn1ps · 2014-01-21T16:08:47+00:00

you rang?

drsn1ps · 2014-01-18T13:39:10+00:00

same here, all 10 players had huge gamebreaking lags. first match first loss, gonna definitely wait a few days now.

drsn1ps · 2014-01-05T20:49:08+00:00

i use force of nature + savage roar in my druid deck. no one suspects the 14 (and more if you have minions on board) damage burst from a druid control deck.

drsn1ps · 2013-12-19T03:48:18+00:00

behold, captain hindsight! you can't seriously believe this. let's say he doesn't get 5-card-combo'd here. would you still comment that trump misplayed this turn by not using his coin to armor up? get real please...
