So... the manufacturer has a bad reputation, the design is certainly nothing special and they're really expensive (with shipping)?

hahahahahahahahaha

ah yes I have heard these rumors, but I also hear they have viruses a lot. I think I might just have to borrow a friends tv when needed.

I've heard you can get a virus scanner for your PC, if you can conceive of such a thing.

OK, this deal just went from good to FREAKING SPECTACULAR. 

Super Meat Boy is one of the most hardcore platformers in existence but it never feels like a grind, or frustrating die to phenomenally clever level design.  It also has a great sense of humour and tonnes of unlockables.

Braid is one of the best games ever made.  Excellently paced, beautiful at every turn and really forces you to think.  Definitely the smartest puzzles ever in a platforming game, perhaps in any game ever.

I haven't gotten very far into Lone Survivor but I'm very impressed with it so far.  Creepy as all hell and not afraid to do things to get a reaction from you without feeling the need to explain itself.  Only criticism is that it's obviously taken a lot of influence from Silent Hill and I feel it wears that influence on its sleeves a little too much (even borrowing sound effects from SH).

I think i's because I'm a sound designer and when you know all the tricks they're using to create the atmosphere, it comes across like a bare wireframe of techniques rather than an immersive, cohesive experience.

Steamboats.  Best borderless cards.  Ever.

There's a bunch of Bee variations (like the casino grade 'Bumble Bee'), Hoyle PGC (which suck), the Gemaco Alpha series casino decks are all borderless, I think.  If you're talking about USPCC decks (ones that handle well) it'll have to be some kind of Bee or if you can find Steamboats, buy them all, they're amazing.

Amnesia: The Dark Decent; IMO, seriously over-rated.  I hated it.  FPS setting doesn't work, puzzles are boring, atmosphere is not immersive, controls weren't fluid, it's difficult and frustrating to naviagate and the list of complaints ad flaws just go on and on.  Didn't get this at all.

Limbo: Stylish and fun but short and you'll probably only play it through once (3 hours or so should do it).

Bastion: Well executed with some nice innovations (the announcer) and an excellent soundtrack.  Gameplay can get repetitive and difficulty curve often takes random tangents.

Psychonaughts: Excellent story and design marred by dull gameplay and tedious sidequests.

Haven't played S&S but I do have it.

All in all, I think these are games touted as great rather than actually, truly great games.  By all means, get the bundle but I wouldn't pay TOO much for it.

Sounds interesting but I wouldn't wouldn't to back it without a solid, experienced programmer on board.

Nice work!  Are you keeping the whole hand-drawn look or are you touching up/re-shading it in Photoshop?  I think either could be good.

In fairness, I LOVE Bee and adore Steamboats, so I got lucky with a few of those.

60% with no deck but the only ones I got wrong were about what the court cards show/hold, so with a deck I presume it would be 100% or close to it.

I was a little tempted but I thought about it and to me, although your price is WAY better than everything else, I just don't think they're worth it.

« on: May 16, 2012, 01:55:55 PM »
 don't see the merit in making a deck you like and then sticking a Bicycle logo on it; it has nothing to do with the project.  If you're goig to make a Bike deck, make a Bike deck, don't just throw the logo on this deck.

Could be local servers but if it was like that earlier for others, I suspect it's your DNS server not being updated yet.  You could try a public DNS server.

They won't get them into a bunch of other countries.  Probably don't need to at that price.

Yeah, if I got caught with one of these, I'd get 4 years in prison and an unlimited fine.  There's a complete ban on concealed knives i.e. anything not immediately recognisable as a knife.  It also has a blade longer than 3 inches, which is totally illegal as well.  You can't really carry a knife without some kind of legitimate excuse for doing so, anyway.  Whatever; I'm not a fan of knives.  I have kitchen knives that do whatever I need and lighter fluid works great for self defence.

Well, that's certainly a very dangerous looking, easy to conceal blade.  I'm pretty sure that'd be illegal in a lot of countries.

I didn't mean to insult anyone but people who identify themselves as bible-belt psychotics.  If you're a reasonable Christian, that doesn't include you, I'd assume.  I'm basically targeting anyone who gets 'offended' by a semi-rendered naked woman due to their religious beliefs; that's psychotic, and this guy happens to be from the bible-belt.  If you want to know what I actually think about religion, it's pretty well documented in the religious discussion thread but this isn't the place to get into that; this is about the deck and by extension, people's reactions to it.  I think that reaction is weird.
