Dicey Exploits

Добавлен 5 апр 2014
Board games, video games and whatever random tidbits of games are all the focus of Dicey Exploits, a channel that delves into just what makes a game special, and sometimes what makes it fail... but, like, not in a mean way...
Earth Rising and Building Better Worlds (and Conversations)
It's easy to look at the state of the world and to be dismayed by its trajectory, and that's before you even glance at anyone on it.
Such despair won't inspire decent discussion on how to resolve those issues... well, the former at least. But perhaps Earth Rising will give you the motivation to start looking on the bright side of things.

Great video, really like your style of presentation and humour, thanks!
@diceyexploits finally, I was able to play Firewatch and I really enjoyed it. But more than that, the game reminded me of you and your video here that really touched me. So, I also wanted to check in on you. How are you?
why is this guy so UNDERATTED???
This is great - probably one of the best reviews I have seen of this game!
State of Emergency is definitely better value for money than On the Brink, although it's best to have both if you really enjoy the game.
I bought it a few days back and now I am running into an issue with downloading the app. Seems like it's not on playstore anymore. Tried it from APKPure, but app fails to install. Does anyone knows how to get around it. I have 150 cards that came with the game.
Bruh i cannot find this game anywhere. Does anyone know where to find Betrayal Legacy or is it out of print right now?
Thanks. You're really good at this. Where are you..? Did you disappear on us..? 👀
Thanks, I try my best with my limited capabilities! And don't worry, a lot is brewing... it's just taking time.
Great review. You really conveyed _why_ I'd want this expansion. Good sell on the story cards.
Thanks, I'm glad to hear that! It's nice that this expansion almost feels like an optional update as opposed to simply releasing new ambiguous cards for the sake of it.
still one of my favorite reviews of this game.
Considering the decent quantity and quality of videos Magnate inspired, that's very much appreciated, cheers!
I remember watching this a while ago was looking for it for ages thanks RUclips recommend
First time here, quite enjoyable. Fantastic way to explain and motivate to play.
If you do enjoy Fuser might I suggest checking the sponsored streamers that Harmonix has hand picked to talk and show off the game? The community is extremely tight-knit for Fuser and is extremely welcoming and friendly and AMAZING to listen to! I myself am part of DjSoundStorm's discord who plays on wednesdays doing custom mix evaluations from the community and Harmonix themselves stream a Thursday feature on twitch every week. There are also a lot of events the community hosts via tournaments and themed events to go alongside the ones included each week in game.
Nice. My copy due to arrive any day now.
Amazing review. Sold me on getting the game!
Really great video. I've long been curious about DropMix so appreciated you digging into it not just as tech but as a game.
Very good video! I'm so surprised you don't have more views or subs!
Thanks so much! As the numbers aren't that reassuring, comments like that at least let me know I'm doing something right! (Tbf, I'm awful at self-promotion).
@@DiceyExploits Yeah self-promotion is a whole other thing. Have you considered entering the Kickstarter scene? Your review quality would stand out and earn you subs pretty quick I reckon.
Hey you’re back! Excellent
You had the whole team cackling throughout the video! We admit, Earth Rising doesn't cover a topic that translates well to humour... One thing that we will say though is that the game will be coming with an informational booklet which covers every practice (sustainable and unsustainable), and explain why the transition from one to the other would be positive for the world. It also has a bunch of advice about what you can do on an individual scale. By their powers combined, these should help facilitate post-game conversations on the topic ;) Thanks so much for taking the time to play and review our game, we hope it inspired hope in an otherwise hopeless-feeling theme!
Also we take the feedback into account about the "special kinda white guy" feeling to some of the practices - but there's only so much you can cram into one game and we were already being told off for the length of the game ''^_^ Not to mention, as a team of four white folks - we aren't the voices that the world should be listening to when it comes to racial inequality. We are listening to BIPOC voices and doing what we can with our privilege to further their messages.
I'm glad it at least raised a smile! That would certainly be an exceptional add-on, and considering the well intended research already on display throughout the game, one that would be very much on point and a great addition, which in turn certainly helps with the second comment raised. Post-game feels so integral to Earth Rising, and researching how this adds up afterwards helps so much after building bureaucratically bulky characters that can, in game, mechanically alter them with relative ease. It would certainly be odder to have certain practices have different rules to overcomplicate the whole game (and therein render my original appraisal of ease of access worthless), so for the benefit of the game it makes sense, and had me doing my own research afterwards, something that will totally benefit from that info booklet! Hopefully, given your clear understanding of the issues, there's room for another title from SD&R focusing on these practices!
can i play with both the weapons and circumstances cards?
The rules state to replace the weapons with them, but you can easily house rule a game to either swap out the locations or even add the motives on as a fourth stage. The latter is something of a challenge though, so definitely lean towards the lower difficulties if that's what you go with!
The way I play is with both the weapons (stage 3) AND the motives (stage 4). However, instead of everyone requiring the motive to win, I make the motive a bonus for people who get to the end early. Each player gets *one* guess at the motive, and if anyone gets it right, one set of who-where-what cards is removed for the final phase. This makes it a little more challenging for the people who get to the end really early, because there will be more possibilities, while people who get there with fewer turns have a narrower set of possibilities to choose from. These were (mostly) the rules the original Polish edition of the motive cards came with, and I find them to be a fun little twist without being too punishing.
Loved this! Glad to see you back and uploading reviews :)
Thank you! It's good to be back doing stuff after a big ol' bunch of burnout. Hopefully the gradual shifts in style here and there are alright!
Happy to see you're continuing to upload with a bit more frequency!
Thanks, I'm happy to know there's still people out there willing to watch anything uploaded!
Did you ever do In the Lab or Sate of Emergency?
Y'know what, I haven't. Seems like a bit of a miss given how much I go on about Pandemic. Maybe I'll give In the Lab the video treatment sometime.
Superb video! Very great editing and production quality!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! As you can probably tell, we're not exactly a high budget operation, so comments like these help zone in on what we're doing right!
I bought dropmix about a week ago when it was on offer for £20 with a couple of extra packs, the problem I'm now facing is, buying new packs. My wallet is going to be emptied if I want packs, I bought fuser as well though, great game.
Yeah, had I found a decent way to present those cards, I would've most likely been left out of pocket and energy tracking down each pack on launch, let alone the random promos out there. ...I hope you're not a completionist. If so, ignore that promo comment. They don't exist, I swear.
@@DiceyExploits 😅 I have seen the prices already. There's a guy on ebay selling two full sets for like £1300 or something. Bit too much for my liking.
Nice to see you back :) I had a very similar experience, Dropmix was an incredible toy but a not great game. I sold it once I has Fuser which had all of the great mix making along with a more interesting game.
Thanks! Despite what the length between videos might say, it's good to be back! Yeah, I was so keen to do something on it when I got it, but talking about it felt like kicking a beloved pet at points, and the price was pushing folks away as is so I didn't really see an urgency to step in and deter. Really glad it's at an accessible price now though so that those without my pickiness can come in and enjoy it!
Most underrated channel ever. I find my self laughing more than I would expect, Keep up the great videos
Ah cheers! I don't think I'll ever be big time, so am happy to take the underrated mantel!
I mean there is another villainous expansion
Yeah it just came out. Like a week ago.
Please help, this is my 5th time watching this video
Everyone have an inner child in them forever
I’m thinking of buying Disney villainous and one expansion. I already have marvel villainous. Which expansion pack do you recommend?
All of the expansions are good! I’d say choose one with characters you’d most like to play. I have all the expansions and I honestly can’t choose which is best.
There’s also a new expansion coming out on February 28, Despicable Plots, which features Gaston, Lady Tremaine, and the Horned King, so take that into consideration if you will. But I’d recommend any of them, they’re all fun.
I've played Firewatch for like 5 times now. Whenever I feel depressed or sad I always play it. Firewatch has always been an escape for me. Anyways, thank you for your story. That was too beautiful.
Fantastic video, this should circulate far and wide
Why do you sound like the guy from shut up and sit down
I like your videos a lot. The sound is a bit muddy though. I expect you can't yet justify dropping a wad of cash on a new microphone but you could probably run it through some post-processing to brighten it up. Anyway keep it up :)
Ah, thanks, I'm glad you enjoy them! To be fair, I think everything needs a bit of a polish, but as you said, resources are a bit fine at the moment! I do run it though a bit of post, compression and normalisation, but that mic is years old and I can never find a decent place to put it without it kicking up a bit of a fuss. Once I'm able to, I'll likely be hiding a Blue Yeti somewhere outside of shot, so will bookmark this comment in my head!
Literally found you just now while searching Betrayal Legacy
Really entertaining review. Thanks!
The mesmerising music from the video game adaptation has crawled into the inner crevices of my brain 😬
It took a lot of restraint not to use the app's full blown, frankly overdramatic orchestral blast that occurs in the endgame.
01:30 He's back!
Given the lack of increase in quality, it's like I never left.
Really good takes, also a very unique take instead of just another playthrough or guide... but rather the presence of games shaping future games. Thank you for the insight!
Cheers! Seeing as you know your stuff about Gloomhaven, I'm very glad it went down well!
This channel is the definition of criminally underrated
I mean, on the bright side that at least means I'm known for something!
Wonderful stuff as always Ben
Thanks! As this is another one that alters a little bit from the usual, I genuinely appreciate it as these can be a fair bit daunting to put out there!
I just discovered your channel, and I am incredibly impressed! Looking forward to the inevitable binge of all your reviews!
Thank you so much! I don't know how much my stuff stands up to bingeworthiness, but I hope it has at least kept you entertained for more than an hour!
If you were playing Disney Villainous, which of these villains would you want to play as, and which would you most want to take down? A. Maleficent B. Evil Queen C. Cruella De Vil D. Ursula E. Captain Hook F. Jafar G. Hades H. Scar I. Queen of Hearts J. Dr. Facilier K. Pete L. Yzma M. Mother Gothel N. Prince John O. Ratigan Be sure to explain why.
I think it would have to be Scar taking down Prince John on the basis of just showing him up as absolutely pathetic... even if that would be probably the most depressing way to go about it.
I'd Want to be Ratigan taking down maleficent just because haha rat takes down magic lady
You sir. Earned my first sub. Your delivery and informative style mixed with camera angles made me laugh and become educated at the same time. Best coverage of this game yet!
I'm glad they convinced you to come aboard, and also that you appreciated this approach! I realise it strayed away from review and more into analysis, and I'm glad that landed well, so cheers!
Great video! I can really relate to what your saying. Keep it up❤️
Thank you and I certainly will!
Informative and funny! Thanks, dude!
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope it helped convince you to delve into even more Pandemic based stuff... even if it doesn't feel like the best time...
really well put together video and relatable!!! good job
Thank you! As you can probably imagine, the topic made me wonder if it was a good idea to upload riiiiight before I decided to do so, so I'm glad it has found folks that find it relatable!
5:26 🤣
Hey, if the numbers aren't all that great, I need to look for an intrinsic motivator, right?
