    Okay, so here are my thoughts so far. My primary enjoyment from Mario comes from the joy of movement. More specifically, from "jumping to not die". Not constantly, but for me there's a sweetspot of difficulty, probably around world 6-8 in a traditional Mario game. I want to beat a level in 5...

    I am a super Melee enthusiasts, but I've found all the Rivals of Aether trailers to be very offputting. In other news I now have a functioning Gamecube in my apartment (thanks James for the GC, thanks Amazon for the replacement video cable), with one game (which constitutes a complete...

    How many people here actually have the game? I would love a place to pow-wow about video game design.

    I also just have one uploaded course, it's much more straightforward than yours: 4C5F-0000-0094-61EF It's fairly easy. Girlfriend beat it in two tries and said it "felt like a real Mario level". When I built it I didn't have many of the tools unlocked yet. Next project is an autoscroller I...

    That sounds... correct. At a certain point though I realized that there was no harm in experimenting, that all changes could be reverted, and that there was nothing to be learned if nothing new was tried. That said, 6 Brainstorm experiment was pretty successful in my opinion.

    It's not actually triple fetch. I think it's 26 fetchlands.

    I know that's possible, but what I really wish people could release are sets of levels. I want to play an 8-level world, start with X lives and see if I can make it to the end. I want people to be able to put together those level sets with levels that aren't even theirs.

    Needs more fetchlands and two-drops for pod. Good start though. I like the Brainstorm / Pod interaction.

    Okay, am I the only one that hate's big Elspeth as a card? Every time that card hits the table I'm like "well, this was almost a compelling game of Magic. now we get turn after turn of token spam."

    Convince me not to hate the fact that I bought Super Mario Maker. Nintendo was all like "hey, what if we put the content in the users' hands, but didn't develop systems to highlight the worthwhile content or have it aggregated in any intelligent way, so that mostly they just encounter shit over...

    Sets Battle for Zendikar Spoilers

    I will say, it's pretty non-obvious on first reading that your opponent should pick the same target that you do. I understand why they made it this way, but it's so clunky in a 2-player setting.

    Uh, well, not exactly. I have witnessed many an EDH game end with people grumbling and complaining and bitching and moaning. All by casual players. If you don't like EDH (e.g. me), that dislike is accentuated by having to overhear EDH players constantly bitch and moan about things in your local...

    There's no 'i' in Temurcil, at least not where you'd think.

    Eh, it's a four drop. Take it, play WG with a red splash or BR with a green splash or whatever.
