Climbing Hearthstone Ranks

All journeys start with a single step With the start of the first official season and welcoming in Hearthstone’s official release, I have decided to try and climb the ranks and attempt to obtain the elusive legendary Hearthstone rank. The following article covers the trials and tribulations, deck changes and personal challenges I have endured thus far.

Hearthstone Legendary Spotlight: Bloodmage Thalnos

We hunger for vengeance!  On first glance, the power of Bloodmage Thalnos can be extremely underestimated. Although he is a 1/1 with little chance of surviving more than one turn, he is without a doubt, one of the most powerful cards in the game. As he only costs 2 mana, his +1 spell damage ability makes him a must have in any spell heavy deck, especially Mage and Druid. In a Mage deck he combines well with Mana Wyrm and Arcane Missiles...

Kick, Lick and Baa

Have you ever wanted to be a little furry bi-pedal whirlwind of destruction? I know I have, and my dreams have now be realised in this completely pointless and hilarious game. You will spend your time in goat simulator running around head butting people, cars, shops, bbq's and even other goats! In this gloriously buggy and broken virtual town.

You will also want to be wary of using your hero ability when playing...

Rogue Legacy: Heirs have their uses!

Rogue legacy as the title of the game suggests, is a 'Roguelike' game. This game genre is defined by random level generation, permanent death and generally (but not always) 2-D style tile based environments. If done poorly, this will lead to frustrating and short lived play, due to the perma-death feature. However if done well, a roguelike game will offer hours of fun and a unique sense of progression, albeit with some frustration...

Rogue Hearthstone Deck: K.Q.D

Knives. Quest. Draw. Knives, Quest, Draw (or K.Q.D for short) is a deck I designed using Miracle rogue as the back bone e.g. Gadgetzan Auctioneer. Thus drawing lots of cards using rogues 0-1 cost cheap cards to keep drawing more cards. There are a few centrepiece combos which I will explain later on, with a rough play guide and complete deck list. At the bottom of this Article you can see the deck in action, although the first...

Defying a 21st century business model: why Wii U is not Wii 2.0

      Written by @anujitkaur of thewonderwound.blogspot.co.uk The Wii’s initial success owes so much to the simplicity of the console and the engineering that went into it, that we recognise it as a phenomenal landmark within gaming and technology. However, it is this same success that has created the bar, a bar too high, a bar that all other consoles are measured by. Despite all the technological advances that surround...
