That person, i think, would feel the opposite of Psychatog. I think they'd feel OVERwhelmed (I know I would). So hearing a reaction of underwhelment(sp?) is alarming. I would think that the single-player campaign (which sounds big) would give a nice big sense of wonder. I've downloaded Gwent myself but haven't started it yet (and probably won't for a long time).

It's hard to compare to Duels cuz does the Duels player have experience playing Magic yet? If so, they're going to love Duels probably. But no one has any experience playing Gwent really so that learning curve is there before the person feels comfortable. That needs to come quickly before the new players runs away

Gwent is a very fun but very bad game

the balance is terrible and i dunno why people keep wanting a card game where you can't do anything on your opponents' turns

I would think that the single-player campaign (which sounds big) would give a nice big sense of wonder.


the single player "campaign" isn't big or wonderful, it's just fighting against an AI that always plays the same cards in the same order, it's really boring and unfun (especially since you have to do a lot of it to get the Leader cards)

Damn it, you guys! Everyone is so busy with their stupid tournaments that no one is posting witty or insightful threads! And my iPad was dropped so I can't play along.

You don't understand, I come to this place for release from the unbearable agony of my day-to-day existence. I need this! Now, someone post a new use for an old card. Barney can make a stupid comment about it, and divinevert will school him in how Magic is actually played, then the devilwuster will post the time and address of his band's next gig. sixty4half will also post regarding the new card use but no one will acknowledge him.

We can request Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry, Be Happy all night long

I'm so there, I'll go as a Pokemon and you go as a bronie. We can make love after the concert.

Good idea on song requests

Gwent is awesome but if you're not willing to give it a chance it won't hook you right away. It's got a lot more depth than it seems if you're just playing a few starter decks.

You can get a decent competitive deck in a short time if you know what you're doing and it won't cost you anything. I may even see if my recording software still works and do a few videos now that open beta is here.

This is going to be exciting!!!
Hey, I did post in the Misclick thread to add a little inertia. Still can't believe I decked myself but then again I'm really surprised I kept it together to get into the low 1000's (I could be mistaken as the last life total I actually remember before the game ended was 923) on life while tripping mushrooms.

While we are essentially a Neil Young tribute band we do other gigs that aren't showcases and throw in "barroom" music. We refuse to play Freebird when asked (unless someone was to lay a big tip on us for doing it, and I mean no less than a 50 spot). We will give you a real nice Call Me The Breeze though.
Trivia: Neil Young penned Powderfinger for Lynyrd Skynyrd but then the plane crash happened. One of my friends from here in town Pat Liston was just getting ready to jet off with them on a European tours with his band Mama's Pride. Pat was also asked to be on the flight but something happened I cannot remember that kept him from boarding.
:evil:

Here is Pat doing Mama's Pride's biggest hit Blue Mist with another friend of mine, Scott Neinhaus on guitar from The Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis. Wish the sound was better.
One of those songs that will stick for you forever.

don't get me wrong, i enjoy it a lot especially since i can play it on PS4 with Spotify on the same device, and yeah it does have more depth than Hearthstone, but the balance is still (understandably, since it's in beta) off

Wait a minute! First Barney and soupcannon are enemies, then they're lovers? This is totally inconsistent with their established characters! I hate when authors deviate from canon.

This is the worst NGA fanfic ever!
