Hearthstone users in EU offered free packs thanks to connection issues

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

If you’re one of the millions upon millions of gamers playing Blizzard’s Hearthstone from the European region of the world, there’s a really good chance that you have two free card packs waiting for you when you boot up the game next.

Hearthstone players were faced with a few days of spotty connections resulting in dropped or lag-ridden matches, and that makes for some frustration during an otherwise chill and enjoyable game. Blizzard has taken notice of the issues, apologized and offered some compensation.

As long as you have a Hearthstone account that was created in the European region before May 2, 2015, you’ll have access to two free Hearthstone Classic card packs. That amounts to 200 in-game gold. Without quests, that’s 20 match wins spread over two days of play.

Great, now here I am hoping for connectivity issues in Hearthstone. Boy, I’m such a nerd.

I played Hearthstone a bit when it was just a PC gaming experience. When it made the move to mobile, I found myself playing a lot more often. The jump has me pouring time into both the PC and mobile versions of the game, and I imagine a lot of other users would say the same thing.

Would you trade connectivity issues for free card packs? I probably wouldn’t, but I wouldn’t mind some downtime while I wasn’t playing in exchange for freebies. What!? Can’t blame me for trying!

Crypt of the NecroDancer mod is the Mega Man rhythm game we’ve never had

Not ready for “Mega May” to end just yet? Capcom has done a good job making sure that every classic Mega Man game that it can release has been released through digital channels, but when it comes to original content, the fan scene is still the best place to look. Like this mod for example! The Mega Man series is eternally memorable for its amazing soundtracks, but we’ve sadly never gotten a rhythm game out of it. Luckily, we have CutmanMike to thank for modding the Blue Bomber, a host of his iconic enemies, an arsenal of special weapons, and several of his greatest musical hits into the indie hit Crypt of the NecroDancer. For those who have not played it,  Crypt of the NecroDancer  is a dungeon crawling roguelike game. Sure, we have enough of those these days, but the kicker which really helps this one stand out is that it must be played to a beat for maximum performance. Miss a beat, and your character will do less damage or miss an attack. The Mega Man mod r...

See Chris Pratt train his crew of raptors in a new ‘Jurassic World’ clip

Is there any piece of film music more recognizable than the theme from Jurassic Park , scored by John Williams, progenitor of many beloved numbers? That’s a rhetorical question, because there is not (OK, except for the Star Wars theme.) The wondrous, swelling music introduces us to a new featurette for Jurassic World , which has some big shoes to fill. While there has been a Jurassic Park 2 and Jurassic Park 3 , Jurassic World is the true successor to the first movie, which was a miraculous and groundbreaking work from Steven Spielberg when it came out in 1993. The new film picks up approximately 30 years after Jurassic Park , which ended with the park in disarray. Now, however, Jurassic World is a bustling theme park, with attractions, shows and one very large genetically modified dinosaur.  The new featurette provides some cool new footage, along with some commentary by executive producer Steven Spielberg, director Colin Trevorrow and Chis Pratt, who is part of the pa...

Tesla Model S update promises to solve “range anxiety”

Tesla announced a new update coming to its Model S car this year which should make it impossible to ever drive too far away from a charging station, at least on purpose. The company also confirmed plans to add auto-steering features later this year. Ahead of the recent event, CEO Elon Musk promised to kill “range anxiety” once and for all, describing the concern some Tesla drivers feel over whether they’ll be able to reach a charging station in time. Once the firmware update (version 6.2) hits, it will add a Range Assurance application that keeps track of your location and the nearest chargers. The app, which always runs in the background, will send a notification to the driver if he or she is about to wander out of range so that they can turn around in time. “This makes it effectively impossible for a Model S driver to run out of range unintentionally,” Musk said. Version 6.2 should roll out in the next two weeks. It also includes a new Trip Planner feature that helps map out long...
