I havent Posted in a while so I thought I would provide an updated decklist for anyone who may be interested. Blizzard has nerfed the hunter several times. The biggest nerf in the form of increasing the cost of Starving Buzzard from 2 to 5!...
Added a couple of rares to the deck. Particullarly Snake Pit, as the Snakes it creates are beasts. It combos well with everything. Because this is essentially a combo deck attempting to "Go-Off" I have added Flare to effectively thin the de...
Welcome back to Game Theory, The lazy person's guide to game strategy. I'm still obsessing over hearthstone. Today I am going to be highlighting a strong Hunter deck with no rares. Release the Hounds! Recently the cost of Unleash the Hounds ...
Welcome to Game Theory! Today I am talking about Hearthstone. I put together a solid deck that currently has me at 12 Rank. This Deck is based around very low cost spells, healing and card draw. There are no epic cards so it is fairly easy ...
Greetings and welcome to Game Theory. I'm the Lazy Gamer. This week I will be talking a little about the MMORPG GuildWars2 and more specifically the class of Necromancer and my well worn statagy in PVP battles. For those who are not familie...
There is a great Quote from Donald Rumsfeld (of all people, I dislike that guy) but was actually brought to my attentions from Boondocks by the great Samual L. Jackson. You can watch his mix of Pulp Fiction and Rumsfeld: http://www.youtube.com/w...
The name of this blog is changing to Game Theory. I play a lot of games and have opinions about all of them. If you have read this far I am sure you have come to realize that my chess does not approach master level. This realization ...
Sometimes I feel like I am sliding through clay. Each snapshot of my senses constantly peeling off of me onto a tunnel I am burrowing through reality. I feel overcome by a deterministic sense of time and space. As though the host of heaven is ri...
I have searched online for this and come up empty. I will refer to this as "The Creation Paradox" The Creation Paradox is: Using logic there is no way to ever determine a state of first cause. In order for something to exist it must have a p...
Amaurosis scacchistica is the term for Chess Blindness- where ones calculations miss the most obvious of features. Sometimes at work I see this car that is completely full of junk. Old fast food bags and other garbage completely stuff the ent...
Its true, Physical media is dead. More and more I have been feeling that the end is nigh for dvds, blue ray, cds and any other type of physical media. My movies sit on the shelf, unwatched and unloved. It is too much trouble to keep track of th...
Spoilers will follow, so if you don't want them look elsewhere, chess is at the bottom. My overall experience of this movie was negative due to a number of factors. I will start with the good points. The cast was amazing and the actors perform...
Soapbox:Today I am going to talk about black holes. There is a lot of mystery and speculation about these stellar giants. This is caused by the fact that we can not observe black holes in the regular sense. The reason for this is that the grav...
I went to see Sourcecode recently. It was better than I thought it would be. I give it a B+. The idea of using technology to manipulate information in such a way as to assist with police investigations is very interesting. This movie gave me ...
Sometime soon the Dalai Llama's physical incarnation will pass away. This may be the end for him. 14 incarnations was a pretty good run. He is a Bodhisattva. Specifically he is a manifestation of the Buddha Avalokitesvara, also known to man...
I've been playing chess for about 30 years now. I'm probly about as good as I am going to get. All I have to look forward to is a slow decline into senility. Kinda sad to realize I will never achieve Master. I still have some good games though...
This week I've been looking into SQL Server Administration. I have three large texts to teach this to myself. I am thinking that learning the test is a doable goal, though teaching myself the practical application of the job looks undoable. T...
I am entering a training period where I will be learning SQL database admin. Hmm and also Rifts, among other distrations. I will have to cut my chess blogs to once a week for now.
I am not on top of my game, therefore I have no game. Instead I humbly present you this retelling of a philosophical masterpiece by the wise and ludicrous Chuang Tsu... The Butcher Ting the cook was cutting meat free from the bones of an ox....
I am watching the new Karate Kid. Jackie Chan is a Kung Fu instructor. He says that Kung Fu is in everything we do. Kung Fu exists in guitar playing, talking on the phone, and sitting at a traffic light.This is readily apparent in chess as the ...
Something I find fascinating about irrational numbers like Pi and Phi is that they represent an unlimited supply of creativity on demand. Using computers humans have calculated Pi to more than 3 billion decimal places and have never found a patte...
Topic for the day: The Dunning-Kruger Effect For those who do not click the link, basically it is an observed behavior of skilled people to underestimate their own skill. At the same time unskilled people tend to overestimate their skil...
It's my birthday and I'll blog if I want to. I have been playing world of warcraft for over 4 years. Recently there was some drama where Blizzard stealthily removed a reward from players that had taken a very long time to achieve. They quickly ...
These days Watson is owning us at Jeopardy. We lost the battle to Deep Blue long ago. This blogger is of the opinion that the singularity can not be far behind. A primer on the singularity can be found here: Intelligence Explosion! The key ...
Welcome to game 7. I decided that I am going to refer to 1.d4,Nf6 2.d5 as THE PUSH. The Dance of Osiris seems a little heavy handed and overly melodramatic. It is still my pet opening though. I will mostly post wins with it though I am sure...
