I hope its month day year otherwise Team Radiant are the proud owners of a teleportation device.

[Nyrixa]

in that case i hope its day/month/year. Radiant Entertainment “No small step for man, a giant leap for mankind”. Hurrah for teleportation!

[Newf]

Wait does that mean we all get teleportation devices because we backed the kickstarter?

[Nyrixa]

only with the Quantum-state pack. its not exactly the physical pack, but then again, its not exactly the non-physical pack either.

You can’t sue people retroactively.

Yes you can, you just don’t have a perfect case

Mh you mean a time machine right? Teleportation wouldn’t help Rad in this case

The world won’t survive long if we get those.

I’m pretty darn sure that timetravel is in fact impossible, and if it is possible then its only forward, not backward. backward would paradox itself eventually.

@Nyrixa

backward would paradox itself eventually

unless you’re Bruce Willis… he’s wicked good at time travel, and avoiding paradoxes…

[Nyrixa]

as usual hollywood is the exception here

[Newf]

I once asked my cousin if he could go back in time would he kill hitler…He said he would help Hitler win the war with his knowledge of the future

[nekochan]

But changing the past would make the whole point for your cousin to go back in time void… paradox.

Is it me or did we get a bit sidetracked here… maybe someone should do a timetravel topic

[SteveAdamo]

@nekochan

maybe someone should do a timetravel topic

yes please… let’s keep the legalese discussion here, and the crazy nutball potentially scientifically sound discussions elsewhere…

So is Dr Who

So, there is a Warcraft turn-based game call Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. Lol.

Nothing new as you can see e.g. here…

Stonehearth or Hearthstone. Trademark infringement?

So I was browsing google for whatever reason and came along a game in beta done by blizzard called Hearthstone. Now considering that Bethesda targeted Mojang’s Scrolls for Trademark Infringement just for one word and that’s just one example of this kind of thing, don’t you think there is a more valid reason here considering how similar the games names sound… I mean if someone was to promote “Warcraft of World” as his game, blizzard would probably sue his pants off. Just a thought.

thanks mi hermano… merged!

[MrKrazy]

On a similar subject, has anyone actually gotten into the Hearthstone beta? I have and it’s quite fun. It’s a perfect lunch-hour game.

[Smokestacks]

I should check my emails…it is available in Europe now, right?

[Geoffers747]

I got my email a few days ago, you should definitely check!

[Smokestacks]

Sadly nothing, although I did sign up a fair way through…

[Heimerdinger]

this close to just going on hearthstone forums and saying HEY BLIZZARD!! radiant called, they want there name back
