Pretty simple question.
Looking for suggestions on games that can easily be played while your opponent is taking a while to take his turn.
Most of the time I just watch videos on second monitor or twitch but I’m looking for something to actually play.
Thoughts ?
I read your previous comments while rope burning as a face hunter.
Spider solitaire is one I play sometimes when decks are slow.
I used to enjoy the game boards, clicking on the volcanoes and stuffs…but it is a long time since we have a really good gameboard.
Musical Toes from SoU?
Fav is lava pit in Black rock Mtn.
I miss making the volcano in Un’Goro erupt.
The mimic chest in what I assume is Kobolds and Catacombs is my favorite, probably. Fireworks and bombs are a close second. I think those are on the Boomsday board, but I’m not completely sure.
Fireworks are on Rastakhan’s Rumble. They were probably my favorite part of any of the Year of the Raven boards.
SoU’s musical toes are probably the most fun element currently in Standard. (And the snakes around the pillar on that board aren’t bad.)
But I’d definitely agree that the amount of fun stuff on the game boards seems to have been going down the last couple years, especially in comparison with Year of the Mammoth, where all three of the boards had some decent things to play around with. (Volcano was pretty much the best there.)
I usually listen to Jazz while I play. My favorites are anything by Bill Evans or Vince Guaraldi.
If I’m in an environment where I can play music while gaming, it’s usually metal/hard rock for an FPS, but more progressive stuff for anything less pulse-pounding and more cerebral like HS.
Dewa Budjana’s latest album has been a major jam for me lately.
Doing board thingies, tabbing out to look at stuff, watching a video, coming here to see what new craziness comes up.
I’m usually listening to youtube playlists while I’m playing, so I check them out to see if there’s anything interesting on screen.
Also, the Fruit Ninja Lime Bush on the Gadgetzan map is the best board interaction and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
Now how about we move it to the next level?
What game do you play while playing the game that you play while playing Hearthstone?
ok so i checked them out…not necessarily what i like but i love hearing new bands.
now let me suggest a few if i may: Ningen Isu (japnese metal. imagine a monk looking science teacher, a 50s greaser and a uncle fester/gene simmons combination rocking out to some of the most awesome music you ever heard),
Alestorm (pirate metal…not kidding its awesome lol)
, Baby Metal (seriously, just start with “catch me if you can”. its amazing. like being punched in th face with a kitten.)
The Hu (mongolian metal. they actually made up a language so they could make a song for star wars).
the rumjacks (australians who do awesome irish rock)
im weird.
I play two hearthstone games at the same time, one using ipad, on my alternate account. I also do one (at most two but it gets overwhelming) of the following:
In this way, even if opponent ropes every turn, i am not bored staring at the screen. I also play fast Intuitively having played so many years, so opponent don’t feel like they are waiting too long for me too.
If you don’t have two HS accounts you can try runeterra too as the other game you play while playing HS. I tried that but struggle because I need to concentrate on LoR and deciding if I want to counter play, how much mana I need to conserve to react etc, all the time, not just on my turn. HS, I just play my turn and switch my mind to something else. There is no need to watch what the opponent did as there is a recap bar we can access before each play.
I’ve heard (and enjoy) Baby Metal before, but most of these are new. I’m working most of today so I’ll definitely be checking these out!
You’re not just a multi-tasker. You’re an obsessive compulsive multi-tasker.
I usually watch Twitch or YouTube.
Some people play chess online.
Maybe play Spades online?
I look up other games, and other jobs, to move on from hearthstone as it’s ruined by the info-share age we live in. Totally.
You don’t take a metadeck, play it well, and call that deckbuilding.
It’s not, it’s just copying the deck and the mulligan, and then going turns 1 and after on your own brain, which is like just a small part of skill as matchups many of the times dictate who wins regardless of your turns 1 and after mastermind skill.
A lot of times I don’t even log into hs bc of how lack of balanced it is, and info shared up. Streamers get ideas from other streamers and their groupchat, in 2 seconds. Nothing is unique that wins. If there’s a spark, it’s exposed within a day. Game is not about deckbulding, when it should be.
