Return to Ravnica Spoilers - Rakdos, Lord of Riots

are you fucking kidding me. all of rakados cards are going to be absolute shit to make up for this absurdity lol. oh sure it has a condition, fit into 2 colors uniquely able to fill that condition.

OMG. This card is the absolutely most absurdly nuts creature spoiled yet. A 6/6 flample demon for CMC4 isn’t unheard of but the downside tends to be something like “you can’t win the game” instead of “hurt your opponent before casting.” Gyah. This guy is going to be a powerhouse in multiple formats. Holy cow.

Rakdos, I have hereby joined your cult. I WILL DO YOUR BIDDING, MASTER.

The Gruul are a loose affiliation of savage clans who squat in Ravnica’s alleyways, abandoned zones, and overgrown ruins. Many Gruul warriors and shamans have come to occupy the Rubblebelt, a broken thread of war-ruined land and settlements that begins near the outskirts…

These profiles are cool as shit :)

wizardsvsrobots:

So my sister had informed me the other night that Dollarama apparently carries 10-card booster packs of magic that have been repackaged by some secondary company and resold.

As completely legal as it is I suppose, the whole thing seemed sketchy so I decided to check it out myself.

Seriously, one dollar gets you 10 worthless commons, not only apparently spanning across 15+ years of magic, but in other languages too. What the fuck. Didn’t pull a single interesting thing in 50 cards I bought.

On the plus side I got this almost-good-tasting pop at 25 cents per can and a huge pile of candy. Night well spent methinks.

I bought a few of those and pulled some Desert Twisters that I use in my green edh decks. Other than that, however, total garbage.

Ahem. The new art from Return to Ravnica is looking sweet. We’ve got Loxodons, Wurms, Centaurs, and lots and lots of trees. Selesnya really brings me back to my roots ;)

If you try hard enough, EVERY wurm looks like a penis.

Meet Borderlands 2′s Ellie: The “opposite of how most females tend to be represented in games”

This is Ellie. You may have seen her in the latest Borderlands 2 trailer (unless you were distracted by the dangerously high levels of a-whimoweh), but up to now we didn’t know much about the series’ new NPC. I recently had the opportunity to send the Gearbox team a few questions about Ellie’s design, origin, and role — read on to find out who she is, how she came to be, and how Gearbox seeks to defy stereotypes.

These written answers were a group effort by the Gearbox team.
Who is Ellie? What role does she play in the story?
Gearbox: Ellie is Scooter’s sister. From a pure purpose level, we needed a character to introduce our new Bandit Technical vehicle, and since we were already using Scooter elsewhere in the game, it didn’t make sense for him to do it. Still, Scooter is “the car guy” in our universe and it felt like anyone who introduced a new car should still be connected to him in some way. Thus, Ellie was born.

The narrative goal with Ellie was to have a character who hits all of the tick marks of a good Borderlands character (funny, unexpected, looks as if they could probably kill you in thirteen different ways if you got on their bad side), while also making an independent female character who looked the exact opposite of how most females tend to be represented in games. We also wanted to make sure that, through her dialog and visual design, we never cast her in a light where the player is encouraged to pity, laugh at, or mock her because she doesn’t look like Jessica Rabbit.
How did her design come about?
GB: Ellie is one of Moxxi’s daughters from Borderlands 1. Being that she was Scooters sister we knew we had a challenge coming up with a character that wouldn’t be dwarfed by his over the top personality.

Originally this led us to a design where she was hugely muscular and tough playing off the idea of a woman who was more manly than Scooter was. This muscle-bound incarnation ended up being a bit too abrasive and bandit-y so we decided to keep her large size but at the same time soften her body shape. In this way she ended up being a strong woman with her own unique silhouette and style.
Who voices her?
GB: Jamie Marchi, who is awesome.
Was animating such a unique character a particular challenge?
GB: She certainly had some challenges unique to her size! We went through five iterations of neck fat and positioning so that she could make eye contact with you without her neck looking wrong. Making her balance look believable also required some special positioning; we had to lean her entire model back further to compensate for her chest size. Speaking of that, Ellie is one of two female characters in the game with custom chest animations. Our animators have a general rule that cup sizes over “D” cup get custom chest animations. The other character with “special” animation work is Ellie’s mom, Moxxi.
Does she ever bludgeon anyone with that giant wrench?
GB: No, but she does straight-up murder a dude in a really gory way less than ten seconds after you meet her. So, there’s that.

That wrench is badass. Fuck I can’t wait for this game to come out. Ughhhh!!

Gearbox developing "Girlfriend Mode" for Borderlands 2:

ihititwithmyaxe:

Is that as offensive and patronizing as it sounds? Yes. Is the studio trying to backpedal from their lead designer’s gaffe? Most definitely.

While I am still excited to play Borderlands 2, I find this embarrassing. I will probably even subconsciously avoid this character because of this negative connotation. Thanks a lot.

the old Ravnica Guild Leaders/star players

Sleeping with the salamanders, no change from the last hundred centuries, who cares, promoted via attrition, as irrelevant as ever, dead as her kind gets, outed, modesty prohibits me from listing the numerous accomplishments of this amazing young woman, extinct, dead.

All in all, a good seven years.

UMM WHAT??? I DON’T KNOW WHY EVERYONT THINKS I’M IN A COMA YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE ME POSTING RIGHT HERE

While I see that it states “leaders/major players,” it bothers me that Circu is depicted over Szadek, who was the Dimir leader. Also, it depicts Firemane Angel, who doesn’t even have a name, over Razia, the Boros leader. Whoever made this, shame on you for perpetuating false flavor.
