Breakfast Topic: Is Hearthstone still a thing for you?
I have to confess, I haven't exactly been playing a lot of Hearthstone lately. It's not that I don't enjoy the game, it's that I've been so very busy that I haven't had time to sit down and play a match or two. But honestly, it hasn't been a really huge concern just because of the nature of Hearthstone itself. There is no sense of falling behind that you get from MMO's, no sense that I should be playing with any kind of regularity -- it's just there and waiting to play when I get around to it.
That said, I'm pretty excited with the announcement of a new adventure mode expansion, Curse of Naxxramas, that was announced at PAX East yesterday. I think what I like the most is that it's just a single-player adventure -- so I can simply play it at my leisure once it arrives, with no pressure or hurry to finish it as quickly as possible. I really like Hearthstone, all things considered, and I really like the idea of adding more vs. UI games. Don't get me wrong, I love playing against other people, but sometimes I just want to chill out with some old school me vs. the sneaky computer action.
Is Hearthstone still something you enjoy playing? Are you really into collecting cards and facing off against other players in the arena? Do you just drop in every now and again to play a round or two? What did you think of the Curse of Naxxramas announcement? Is it something you're likely to pick up and play when it launches?
