This is my first video with a better quality camera. Any comments / suggestions?

The camera does seem nicer, but why does the video have a large black border around it this time? If you can get it back to full screen with the better picture, it should be quite nice.

Oh yeah, the review is good too.

The camera does seem nicer. The border doesn't bother me but, I wouldn't mind if it was gone either (how's that for a completely noncommittal answer?) whistle

BTW: I really enjoy your reviews. They are informative and fun! Keep up the great work!

The picture quality is much better. I don't know if it was the new microphone or your surroundings, but there was an echo I sometimes heard that I haven't heard before in your reviews.

After watching this review, I immediately bought this game. A quick push your luck dice game is right up my alley. I see myself playing this game at conventions as a filler or a last game of the night game. What I don't see this game being used for is as a game for a kid's activity in school/camp/etc. it's not the zombie theme. It's the shotgun blasts on the dice, which school administrators and parents often frown at in my area.

One question for the audience: how wide is the cup? I could not really tell in the review if my large hands would fit well inside the container to pull the dice. I know it's a tiny detail, but I may make a small investment in a "zombie dice bag."

Thanks for the review!

The cup could be bigger, I have big hands, but managed to get a few fingers in to pull them out, or just dumped a few into my hand.

I love the dramatic slow-motion dice rolling.


Yes, the camera is much better indeed. Another great review!
... and, I should note, another positive reaction to a Steve Jackson game.

My only comment is that you really resembled Michael Moore in the beginning of this video. Something to do with your posture combined with that hat, I don't know!

Ouch, that's harsh
But I agree. I think it may have something to do with the oversized shirt as well.

Regarding the border, it appears as though he's putting the video together in a standard resolution (i.e. 4:3, as opposed to widescreen 16:9 or 16:10). This is evident in the "fullscreen" graphics.

In other words, the video itself is only taking up a 4:3 rectangle on your monitor, and his review portion is taking up a 16:9 rectangle within the video.

We were actually part of the playtesting group on this and instantly loved it!

Excellent video - I've managed to skunk my husband in two turns, believe it or not, with a rousing rush of BRAINS that just kept coming!

Only thing I would suggest is not doing too much of the slow-motion - seemed a bit unneeded.

Otherwise - faboo review!
