The "All Other Games" Chat Thread

What a stupid article. He is "most influential" because he got 25% of the votes (out of 1000 total, not exactly a good sample size). I am sure more than three quarters of those votes ticked him because he was the only one they recognised and everyone knows video games = nerd shit = computers = steve jobs.

It's not that I don't understand the rules. I just don't see the attraction over traditional poker.

I like community card variants because the face-up cards add a new layer for tactics and make the whole game easier (especially, but not only newbies), because you don't have to permanently concentrate on your opponents poker face and reactions to judge what's going on.

I have never played any stud poker variant, but I completely dislike draw poker, as that feels more like a bingo game or the lottery to me, reducing the "party game" feeling that I want from playing poker (with friends).

Judge me if you want, but I like Uno better than Texas Hold 'Em.

I just finished Bastion. What a fantastic journey that was. Seriously, if you havn´t tried it, do so now.
The narrator is obviously its most outstanding feature, presenting an incredibly rich world and an exciting story. Yet, gameplay, variety, graphics, audio (awesome soundtrack!) and love for detail all come together to forge this masterpiece.
I shall soon embark on my second playthrough.
