Hearthstone: #1 Ranked Player's Supposed Decklist

I am far from pro at Hearthstone at this point, but I did win number of tournaments for Magic The Gathering and honestly these games are very similar to each other. So as I was curious about metagame at top of the ranked play I found decklist posted by Railedlol who Blizzard themselves listed as #1 on list of top 50 ranked players. Perhaps game was different when he got that place, maybe ton of things changed since, but I just don't see this deck doing all that well. He is Australian and apparently tried to have stream, but when I found link to that as well, he does not appear to be streaming at all. Cause stated was 'Australia has bad internet', me living in North America cannot confirm nor deny that.

Here is decklist:

How to Install League of Legends WITHOUT PANDO Media Booster

I detest garbage like Pando Media Booster. Its used by companies to steal your bandwidth to save themselves money. Its torrent client, but without any settings you, the consumer, can change easily. If you are paying for your bandwidth that can result in rather large, yet unexpected, bill from your internet service provider.

Basically it uses your upload bandwidth to seed, send to others that are trying to download. It is despicable disregard for customers by any company that uses it. If I cannot find download without crap malware like Pando I simply skip game involved.

Anyway, if you want to download League of Legends and need links to clean installs, here they are:

North America:
http://l3cdn.riotgames.com/Installer/SingleFileInstall/LeagueOfLegendsBaseNA.exe

Europe West:
http://l3cdn.riotgames.com/Installer/SingleFileInstall/LeagueOfLegendsBaseEUW.exe

Europe Nordic and East:
http://l3cdn.riotgames.com/Installer/SingleFileInstall/LeagueOfLegendsBaseEUNE.exe

After you click on one of these 20 MB installers they will install crap-free League of Legends game whose patcher will then download 800 mb-2gb (whatever its at now) rest of the game.

If you wish to use torrents, learn how to use them, how to control your upload speed and how to turn them off when you want. Do not use garbage like Pando as there is no sane reason to do so. If you already made a mistake and have Pando installed, uninstall it.

Who knew preaching campaign could look so fun!

I ran into this kinda randomly, but it was just so cute I felt I should post about it.

Basically, its some kind of atheist group on indiegogo collecting donations to put up cool looking, colorful, religious messages. Except, this is kind of stuff I'd like to see.

I'll use break on this one so if you want to see images beyond first one click more.

TERA Rising: Issues with creating new account and downloading: Easy fixes

This blackscreen thing actually never happened to me previously, so its bit strange, but in case you experience similar issue this might help.

I was trying to create account with Enmasse so I can try Tera MMO. However, all I would see is webpage with black page, nothing on it. I tried Chrome, IE, Firefox, Opera, Avant, and got same result with each.

What got me through to signup page was using TOR browser, which is available here:

https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

I received email followup, confirmed account creation, and then encountered another issue. Game uses something for streaming which did not want to play nice with my antivirus and firewall. So, what did work was torrent of it found here:

http://support.enmasse.com/tera/downloading-tera-via-torrent

I was also pleasantly surprised with quick, friendly response on Twitter by somebody from Enmasse, and even got a chance to try their customer support which quickly dealt with minor issue.

Now off to actually try gameplay.

Cool Portable book reader: Sumatra

I tried dozen readers today, and this is first one I liked, so I'll share the link.

It reads number of formats of interest to me: CBZ/CBR, CHM, ePub, Mobi and PDF, and is barely 5 MB in size.

They do not make them like they used to

Few weeks ago I picked up some games I used to play decade or so ago from GOG and Steam.

Master of Magic, which I never actually owned as full version previously. What I had was magazine promo 3 inch diskette with demo version of Master of Magic. Due to free time limitations I was under back then I never even got my fill of that demo. So it stayed as something on my 'to do' list, to be done when I get a chance.

Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition and Baldur's Gate 2 with Throne of Bhaal, also Enhanced Edition, from Steam. While I did actually play sequel quite a bit, all I got to see of first one is Candlekeep. It was during 30 minutes prior to 8-man team match of some FPS, I do not remember which one it was, and as we were in LAN internet cafe and waiting for couple guys to arrive, we were checking out some other games. Among others, I saw Baldur's Gate, and did not expect much as previous computer DnD games I tried (stuff from 80's) were pretty bad from my point of view. RPG's I played back then were on Sega Master System (Y's and Phantasy Star), Nintendo, Super Nintendo, then Playstation, which was last system I bothered to buy as I switched exclusively to PC gaming as of 97.
