It's my favorite game of this generation, and I'm no difficulty masochist. It's hard like SNES games were hard, and only rarely is an overt dick about it (see: crossbow guy on the cathedral roof, invisible corkscrew stairs). It's fair, and it asks you to accept that death is a part of the experience, but the risk and…

For several reasons, this seems appropriate.

Sure, but that doesn't mean he's bound to a professionally neutral position. You have no way of knowing how easily influenced he is or is not and speculating about it is petty - sometimes people just like things.

A) he's not a journalist, and B) the choice between next gen consoles is essentially binary - you don't have to be a 'paid shill' to choose 1 out of 2 very-similar options.

Nobody is asking you to do that, least of all me.

None of that justification makes your comments any less pathetic, though.

None of the new consoles are remotely appealing to me at this point - there's not even close to enough interesting games for me consider it. It'll be maybe a year from now, probably 2, before I given any further thought to picking one of these up.

I can hardly tell the difference.

Fascinating! Tell me more.

I guess so - I haven't payed attention to the official stuff since the late 90s. I got back into it a little, casually with my friends, but that was mostly to play with the rebalanced modern cards, not use the old ones - it seems like the advent of the internet robbed them of their surprising game-breaking superpowers.

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!!):
