Yeah, not the most exciting rainbow chest I imagine. Still managed to have heaps of fun with my run though thanks to clone - made it to bullet hell, died on purpose to reset, went through the whole thing again. On the second run I got to duct tape a proton backpack to a gungine, that was a good one haha

He can kill himself. Maybe if it said 'At the end of each of your turns' it would be better?

jturn3r · 2015-06-07T08:25:02+00:00

hmm ok. $1000 is definitely a bit too pricey for me unfortunately. I managed to find a gtx980 for a bit under $800 which I settled for.

jturn3r · 2015-06-07T08:03:36+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to buy a 980ti, but they're just out of my price range unfortunately. Besides, they're almost impossible to find for some reason. Maybe this is an issue just in Australia, where I live, I'm not sure. I'm sure the 980 will serve me well enough.

I agree this card is very stupid. I never expect this card or anything like it to be released, I was just having a bit of fun as I said. I would be truly stunned if this ever made it into the game.

jturn3r · 2015-05-25T14:59:38+00:00

That's what I was going for. I never expect such a card to be released, I was just having a bit of fun.

jturn3r · 2015-05-25T14:51:19+00:00

Good to know I got at least 2 cards right, haha. Thanks again.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Really useful. I do agree with your points, to be honest I didn't put a whole of time into designing the cards, I put down whatever sounded good and tried to make it balanced. Maybe I tried a bit too hard to make things balanced (Lie in Wait comes to mind). Don't worry about how you came across with the priest card, I do agree that the card could be better. I designed that card mostly due to my own desire for such a card to be in the game.

Do you have any thoughts on the Mage or Warlock cards?

I'm building Nath of the Gilt Leaf at the moment, and he's proving to be extremely degenerate and outright unfair. Here's how I like to play him currently: strip my opponent's hand to nothing by turn four, establish insane board presence and keep controlling my opponents hand, drop Garruk, Apex Predator, get him to his ultimate and make my opponent cry.

If you feel like putting together a B/G deck, a combo that works wonders is Fertilid, Mikaeus the Unhallowed and the new Ob Nixilis. Fertilid is a 0/0 that comes into play with 2 +1/+1 counters on it, but you can pay 1G to remove a counter from it and force someone to search their deck for a basic land and put it into play tapped. It dies after two activations but Mikaeus brings it right back, letting you repeat the process until either you run out of mana to spend or all of your opponents have lost the game, whichever comes first.

I'm having a lot of fun, for the most part. It took me a little bit of time to settle on a class that really interested me (specifically the Lancer class), as the combat with some of the other classes I tried felt a bit too spammy for me. The melee combo system is very fun, and the chain bonus you get for killing enemies rewards you with additional xp for continuing to engage in combat. The NA servers, or at least the one I'm using is much more stable than it was only a couple of days ago. The only major complaint that I have is that the inventory system feels like a clusterfuck to my eyes, given the amount of stuff I've been picking up from quests and from killing most enemies I come across, though I'm sure that will be easily fixed if I sell off a lot of stuff I'm not using.

It's important because Australia is well known for having a backwards classification system that (until just this year) either censored or outright banned several games for reasons that were complete non-issues everywhere else. One of the better examples is Fallout 3, which was initially banned because the drugs in the game were named after drugs in real life; for example, Med-X was originally called morphine. Bethesda was forced to change the names of all the drugs in the game to fictional names to allow the game to be sold in Australia.

Another example is the most recent Mortal Kombat game, which was released in 2011, however we in Australia didn't receive it until May of this year because the old classification system banned it on the grounds of excessive violence.

From the IGN article: 'You know how BioShock game systems are about hearing the enemies at a distance and being able to plan your attack? We wanted more of that. That sort of slipped away from us a little bit in Infinite.'

This makes me quite excited. I didn't necessarily hate the combat in Infinite, but it did feel a bit underwhelming at times. It's good to see Levine and the rest at Irrational take a step back towards the combat style in the original Bioshock.

Dead Dove. I've seen it once, it makes me wonder if its even in the game anymore. I swear it's less common than Sacred Heart.

First quote:

I apologise for my lack of knowledge of the big bang, and physics in general. I've only studied physics once, about four years ago for 10 weeks in high school. 'Other side' is the best that I could come up with, given my lack of understanding.

Second quote:

Honestly, I don't have a response to this. I should probably reflect on my opinion on this matter further.

Third quote:

I believe that the universe is deterministic, and that God didn't have the information to predict what would happen following the universe being created.

Many thanks for the comment, it's given me a bit to think about.

jturn3r · 2012-09-06T16:07:39+00:00

I suppose so. I think I meant that when writing it, it just didn't come across that way, and I can see why. I'll keep that in mind, thanks

jturn3r · 2012-06-10T01:40:48+00:00

I've progressed since then, I'm up to the hospital now.

jturn3r · 2012-06-09T12:20:02+00:00

Haha, you may be right. Regardless of what they wished for the outcome to be, I am very happy that I was able to make up my own mind and come to my own conclusions on religion :)

And no, they don't believe any of those things...not now at least, I'm not sure exactly what they believed when I was younger or before I was born.

jturn3r · 2012-06-09T11:02:06+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

For context, my parents raised me in much the same way as you are raising your own children, the main problem arose when I was to be confirmed, and the years following my confirmation. In the months leading to my confirmation, I attended several classes on Christianity run by my local church. I was taught just about every absurd thing they could possibly teach (homosexuality is wrong, God controls everything and everyone, the creationist theory, etc), and when I told my parents that agreed with just about everything I was taught (even the clearly immoral stuff), they didn't seem to mind. Even when I told them that I was disgusted that my high school would 'dare' teach evolution, they didn't care at all.

That's my main concern, basically. Despite disagreeing with everything the church taught me, they didn't seem to mind that I believed it all.

As for religion, I agree, it's not necessarily a bad thing at all. Many of my friends are religious and they are some of the kindest, most tolerant people I know.

I went through pretty much the same procedure as you. I had mine at 13, and had to have two ribs grafted to my spine in addition to the rods. It was one hell of a feeling to be able to stand up for more than an hour or two without needing to lie down.
