I am a CPA. I do large corporate and partnership tax work, mainly in the oil and gas industry. I believe ( Hearthstone pro) Reynad said on his stream last night that college education was a waste, I should note my job would not be possible without my Masters' deg
ESL is well-known as one of the biggest eSports leagues in the world, which is why it was big news when it was reported today that Swedish media group MTG purchased Turtle Entertainment, ESL's parent comp
Personally, I have a lot of respect for Michael Pachter. While his conclusions don't always hit the mark, no one is perfect and, contrary to the memes, he doesn't have a crystal ball. He has deep industry knowledge and his reasoning is very interesting for someone like me who is intrigued by the business aspects of the industry. It's also worth mentioning that his statements are often abused out of context by less-than-scrupulous websites throwing around clickbait headlines with remarkable desperat
Think of runes like a Bandai Namco card game energy system. Every turn, you'll get two new runes automatically, which can pay for cards. How many runes you leave open can dictate how defensively or offensively the other player will act on their turn, so it behooves you to leave something open to resp
A strong Japanese counterattack landed on Iki island at the end of the month, defeating the Mongol garrison, and forced the invaders to withdraw to Hirado island. At this point, the Yuan adopted a much tighter formation for their ships, actually chaining them together in order to thwart enemy boarding acti
As a recap, Riftbound was officially released in the US on October 31, 2025, in the form of Riftbound: Origins , the Https://strategynewsbase.Com/'s first set. Set 1 features "over 300 cards," as well as a handful of accessories, a Providing Grounds starter box, and three Champion starter decks. Riot Games sent us the Proving Grounds box, as well as those Champion starter decks for testing (Jinx, Lee Sin, and Viktor), and by the time I was done, I ended up heavily favoring 2v2 as my preferred form
The strong Japanese flavor, mixed with elements that are extremely rooted in popular culture worldwide, are exactly what gives Ghost of Tsushima the edge to overcome the challenge of being a new IP. It's a strong, memorable concept evoking intense and epic images, and it's easily comparable in mass "broad appeal" to things like space marines or World War II soldiers. It's also not as overdone in western gaming, which is certainly a perk and not a liabil
When it comes to League of Legends , Riot Games is bullish on cross-media projects. The TV series Arcane introduced the IP to millions of people , and now, they're expanding to the trading card arena with Riftbou
Of course, Timetravel6000v2's art isn't the first fan-made recreation of this particular Justice League poster. Shortly after it debuted during SDCC, a fan put an Avengers spin on the poster as a preview of Marvel Studios' upcoming blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War . It's not surprising that this Justice League poster has inspired so many recreations considering the original is itself an homage to classic DC Comics artwork created by artist Alex R
On the other hand, the Mongols did not stand on ceremony. While their most fearsome weapons were their cavalry and mounted archers, they had come by sea, so most of them were on foot. They resorted to massed infantry attacks and formations (similar to phalanxes) that would open and encircle the few that managed to get close. They also didn't have any qualms against skewering enemy horses on their spears. Their composite short bows were technically superior to the samurai longbows, and they were employed differently by shooting large volleys high into the sky, that then rained onto the enemy ranks. They even used poison, fire, and explosive arrows, alongside grenades made with ceramic spheres packed with gunpowder used to wreak havoc and terrorize hor
The low marketing budgets that Japanese games suffer from tend to extend into lack of coverage from the media. Small Japanese publishers and their tiny western partners don't really have the money to wine and dine armies of western journalists at massive preview events, and often have to resort to almost literally begging for articles. If you look at an average large gaming website, you'll see that their coverage of most Japanese games is spotty at best, and non-existent at wo
They cover the games that are part of popular franchises, that have AAA or AA-level production values, and big marketing budgets, ignoring those that don't have those perks. Of course, this is another factor that translates more or less directly into sales, or lack of ther
