If you've got friends who will play a casual game and not worry about having the most expensive and powerful cards, you can buy commons for 9 cents and uncommons for 19 cents individually from several websites - you can definitely build something fun for $20.

To be fair, South Park's art style is simple intentionally - when they parody any cartoon style they show off what they can do.

Ha! I'm sure I will never for one second in my entire life care that a handful of old cards that were sitting in a box in the back of the closet are no longer there, especially when I've got awesome new games I'm actually playing instead.

Are those formats people still play? The old cards are so... broken? The game has changed so much since I first started playing - dual lands are crazy overpowered and the old creatures vastly underpowered

I took mine to the local game store, but if you want to sell them online check out ABUgames.com (where a Revised Underground Sea is freaking $210!!):

Great for you, man - it's nuts. I just don't get the appeal, but I'm thrilled collectors are getting the cards they want, because I couldn't possible value them less - just in terms of nostalgia, the early commons are way more exciting to me.

I guess - I've never been a collector. I love the game of Magic, but I really love having a couple grand worth of new games way more than I could ever love a handful of cards I couldn't even play with anymore. You can't take it with you, right?

Look everybody - I still play Magic occasionally, but I sold my 30-some Revised dual lands for $100/per about a year ago. It was awesome, and I did it for store credit and walked out with a decade's worth of new games. I don't know why anybody would pay that much for cards you can't even use with the modern game…

Oculus. Rift.

That's like the pot wishing the kettle was black.

There is still no chance of this movie ever actually being made and released in any capacity greater than those essentially-straight-to-rental D&D movies. It's long past WoW's cultural moment, and it's not a story or medium designed for a passive linear narrative - I'm sure making an epic fantasy movie is always going…

It's Art Nouveau-inspired fantasy rotoscoping with incredible line work and lush atmospherics and stylish backdrops - what's not to love? If this looks generic to you, I don't know what to tell you - it's incredibly distinctive.

It's going to happen regardless - the question before us is how will we handle it. I'd vote for mandatory on-board camera recording for all uses - classified, I suppose, but available for legal examination - and, most importantly, pushing the cultural awareness that killing people is never trivial. I think it's a…

You know, this was going to finally be the console generation I bought at launch - I'm in my early 30s, have ample money, but I think I'm just going to let these guys sort out their launch issues, get some essential games, see how invasive the advertising is, and probably just save my money for the Oculus Rift until…

Exactly - they are hard like Mega Man was hard. The enemies are cruel like the original Zelda's shield-eating was cruel - it's rarely (though occasionally) a sadistic dick by design.

In theory it shouldn't be any different from the reflected light that enters our eyes all day already, but there's certainly plenty of reason to proceed cautiously.

I'd be really surprised - Nvidia had a tech demo of this kinda thing in July and it wasn't even close to consumer ready. The sooner the better, I say, but I don't see this advancing ahead of screens for a while. I'd love to be wrong!

Projecting right onto the eye is certainly the end result of this technology - lots of companies are working on it - but it's way too early. The Rift should get us through the next 5 years before this is even close to ready.
