Great Site, Nice Work. I love it.

My Only complaint is that it contains the video's to those poorly played games from Canada... My crew is gonna make some better youtube overpower videos in san diego in July. Better players, better strategy, better decks, maybe even some commentary.

No complaints from me either. Look, the important thing is that people are playing Overpower and having fun, no matter if they are using the original rules or house rules. Belittling people for not playing by the "Real" rules is just childish.  >:(

How can you possibly say this? Did you watch the finals? The guy didn't even know what Apocalyptic Minion was... not only did he ask what the card did after it was played, but he clearly wasent prepared or strategized to see it played on him. That's not going to happen to anyone I play with, especially in a finals of a competitive tournament. Some of those Canada dudes suck so bad at this game...

Regardless of whom is better than whom, you're still acting like an elitist asshole. It's a f**king card game, not the NFL. Acting like a big shot over a game that no one even remembers anymore is about the smallest thing I've ever seen. Get a life.

Post by: Jack on July 08, 2011, 02:51:01 PM
Update on the website while I put it on a slight 5 day hiatus:

(This is all done on a separate server, so the current site does not reflect the changes)
I've reorganized the underlying database that stores all the information regarding OPO. This means that there is a less likely chance that I can import/export of decks created from OPDeck.
Batman: Detective - I glanced at this card and noticed that I was missing something. He's allowed to play Gordon's Sting Operation with his IA. I have not accounted for it with my old database. The new one factors this in. With the new site, you will be able to add Sting Operating with just Batman: Detective in your decks. He's the only one in the official cards to have an IA like that (I'm not counting special cards, those you need the other character in the deck and hence doesn't need to be coded)

Locations -- from preliminary testing, the new database I have will support Dark Beast and Storm: Neutralized.

The next steps in development are to create a user portal for the site. This is going off schedule but I think it needs to get done now instead of later. I want to organize the development blog and meetups blog onto the main site. I also want to have picture/video galleries. This section of the site shouldn't take too long, so after my 5 days of endless homework, I will finish it and continue work on the card selectors.

The car accident itself is not funny.  the fact that you are trying to use it to make us feel bad about overpower related smack talk is still pretty damn funny.

Is he ok?

It was in reference to the fact that there is a valid reason for why he hasn't uploaded any footage yet, not sure how it could be interpreted any other way. Glad you are getting some laughs out of it though!
