Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Battery Explodes

Extracted from Androidpolice,

"A Samsung official speaking to Yonhap said the company estimates that less than 0.1% of Galaxy Note 7 devices sold were affected and that the root of the problem was traced back to the battery. But at several millions sold, even this small a percentage can be a hazardous risk and one Samsung is not ready to gamble with. Since the Note 7 doesn't have a removable battery, the official says that the company is about to issue a recall of all its new Galaxy Note 7 devices sold at home and abroad."

A major blow to Samsung. Well, that's good news for Apple to catch up...

Samsung Galaxy Note 7

It is launched! It is out! How can I not cover this story or news.

Nutshell

1. Dimensions - 5.7 inches. Dual curve
2. Feature - Water resistant (like I said, all smartphone phones should be this way). S pen too.
3. Video & Games - HDR video and Vulcan API games
4. Security - IRIS scanning (new)
5. Camera - Improved dual pixel sensor
6. Memory - 64GB entry/expandable 256GB (hey hey, it's back by popular demand)
7. Battery - 3500mAh fast and wireless charging

Pre-order for a free lens kit worth $198. I think the Samsung Gear VR is more enticing.

Hearthstone WOG Update

Some of the new WOG cards revealed. Updates in this link www.oldgods.com

Hearthstone WOG - Forbidden but not Forgotten

Forbidden Flame

Some of the Forbidden Flame uses I can think of (saw in comments that it is mage?):

1. Pyromancer - free 1 damage, similar to Circle of Healing
2. Classes that cannot activate/kill your own minions easily
3. Warrior - another way to activate your own minions e.g. Gromash Hellscream, Patron, Frothing Berserker, enrage minions
4. Spelling enhancing minions - can activate or kill minions. Imagine with Malygos.
5. Mage - free fireball with Antonidas. Free 2 damage with Flamewaker

However, some general consensus is that mage spells are much better than Forbidden Flame but it is more flexible.

Forbidden Shaping

1. Help smooth out your mana curve
2. Late minions can be game changing esp. at 8 or 9 mana.

Hearthstone Patch March 2016

Google Play patching that is causing the client to display pink/purple screens after patching to 4.2.

Workaround

• Go to the app settings and select clear data and then run the app again.

OR

• Alternatively you can just delete and reinstall the app and that should resolve the issue.

Hearthstone Whispers Of the old Gods (WOG)

Hearthstone - Standard Vs Wild

Changes to Hearthstone:

1. 9 more card slots - Total 18 card slots altogether
2. Standard Format - Deck built solely from a pool of cards that were released in the current and previous calendar year, along with a core foundation of the Basic and Classic card sets (which will always be valid for Standard). Standard will only battle Standard format deck
3. Wild Format - Decks built on any available card. Wild will battle with Wild format deck
4. Tournaments & esports - Based on Standard format.
5. Arena - Based on Wild format.

Standard promises a fresher Hearthstone experience!

• Standard will help make for a more dynamic and balanced metagame.
• A select set of cards makes each new card have more impact!
• The developers will have more freedom to design exciting new cards.
• It lets newer players jump in faster without having to collect as many cards.

Personally, I felt this is a good change. Both in keeping entry level for new players easier and also the meta fresh. Likewise, even experience players need to keep up with the card collection.

The Grand Tournament - Now Available!

Finally, TGT is now available! For some, it might be the longest August in their life since Blizzard announced they would release TGT in August. I started a game against them but have not opened up my 50 TGT packs yet. I will like my son to have the pleasant surprise of opening the packs.

First thing I notice is a tough 5 health minion which is not easy to remove with classic cards unless with combo (e.g. Rogue Poison blade with SI:7). From my experience with Tavern Brawl, some low cost minion like Lowly Squire can snowball to a high attack minion if not removed immediately but expensive to remove with a spell. Multiple inspire minions can take advantage of one or even multiple power-ups & worse if power-ups cost 1 in a single turn.

My experience with Joust was sub-par.

Also, be careful of Acid Maw as it can be a double-edge sword killing your minions if damaged by hero power. However, if used properly, it can be a board clear with UTH. Lock and Load is over-powered or OP as it is like a Gadgetzan Auctioneer, draw spell, play spell, rinse and repeat.

Have fun!

Update: I also realised there are quite a few 6-toughness minions that are difficult to deal with at mid-game. E.g. Maiden of the Lake, Tournament Medic, Frigid Snobold, Pit Fighter, Twilight Guardian, Master Jouster. Suddenly, I felt that the classic deck of 3 or 4 attack weapons does not cut it anymore. Hmmm...

Just let my son opened the pre-released 50 Packs bundle I purchased. My favorite being Legendary Eadric the Pure (7 mana, Battlecry: Change all enemy minions' attack to one). Mass Aldor Peacekeeper over-powered card. First Equality, now Eadric, my goodness.

Update 2: Just read Reynad picks and his no. 1 pick is Lock and Load. I have been the receiving end as well as the dishing out of Lock and Load in Tavern Brawl (forced to do 5 Tavern Brawl wins quest). Goodness, it was really OP! Lock and Load, hunter's mark, arcane shot, hunter's mark, tracking, traps etc. it just kept on going... I shared this with a friend in Hearthstone.
