GWJ Plays – Hearthstone & More Rocket League

Section: 

A lot of activity on the GWJ Plays channel this week, including a Hearthstone: The Grand Tournament video with myself and Allen Cook, and another video of my ham-handed attempt at an Arena run. I've been pretty critical of Hearthstone in the past, but I have to admit that my sentiments on the matter are turning. A lot of that is the momentum of The Grand Tournament, but having been out of the play loop for a while it's also the cumulative effect of expansions like Blackrock Mountain and Goblins vs. Gnomes. This is just a fundamentally different game than the one I last played a year or so ago, and the changes have largely been positive.

Hearthstone's nice and all, but the real obsession of the GWJ zeitgeist at the moment is Rocket League, and I couldn't help but offer up another few rounds on the channel. I doubt seriously that it will be the last you'll see of the game, particularly now that more of the GWJ crew has made the right call and picked up the PC version. I can tell you that just after recording the video below I got a chance to play with a bunch of GWJ folks in some 3v3 and 4v4, and as always a great game is only improved by playing with our awesome community members. If you're still on the fence about Rocket League – and I really don't understand how you could be – then maybe the fact that there's a healthy group of GWJers playing just about every night will push you over the fence into the realms of mirth and joy that is Rocket League.

Lastly, not in the mix this week is Part 11 of my Europa Universalis IV campaign of the Papal States. I'm considering making more, but not sure if people are finding it interesting to follow this deep in. If you'd be interested in seeing more of these or just want them there in case someday you think you might watch them, now's a great time to let me know.

Anyway, here are some direct links to the videos this week. Let me know if you're enjoying having more video content coming from us.

I really enjoyed the Hearthstone videos. It's such a good game to spectate. I think I only yelled at my screen a few times.

I can definitely tell there's been an improvement in your Rocketing.
