The Metal God Who Played Poker With Pinhead In A Music Video
Few tastes go better together than heavy metal and horror, and the participants in this music video make for a real match made in hell!
It has been an age and a half since I uploaded any kind of #PlayingCards, #Chinese or #western. So I decided to share a set I picked up yesterday.
The cards are a routine #poker deck: 52 cards (French suit), two jokers (black and red), and a "certificate of authenticity". (I'll get into that later.)
The cards are made of PVC with a light texture which makes them waterproof and nearly indestructible. The ace of spades is a very colourful design, while the face cards are the very standard images we've all come to know and love. The jokers are simple illustrations of a seated fool with an owl(?) perched on his feet, differentiated by size (black is smaller) and by the colour of the text that reads "JOKER".
PVC cards, especially the textured ones, are quite slippy in comparison to those made from card stock, so it takes a couple of minutes to acclimatize when you're unfamiliar with them. (Be prepared to have them spray out of your hands when shuffling until you get the feel.)
So what's the "certificate of authenticity" about?
The cards are made with gold foil inside the PVC, and apparently, despite gold foil being cheap like borscht (ask any crafter friends!) there's apparently enough fraud around this that they actually have a report number you can look up on a government cite to check the bona fides.
The card back is termed "彩金 游龙戏凤" (cǎi jīn yóu lóng xì fèng) on the site I bought the cards from, but I'm not actually sure what it means. The first two characters can mean a lot of things but the literal translation is likely best: "coloured gold". The rest is ... less clear. Literally it means "swimming Dragon playing with Phoenix" but ... ugh. This is probably some weird idiom or other. [A quick hit on Baike](https://baike.baidu.com/item/游龙戏凤/17640) says that it's an idiom with a historical allusion, but isn't clear on what its intended meaning is. [There are a lot of entries](https://baike.baidu.com/item/游龙戏凤/11102037) however, too many to look up.
Mini decks are available for each of the 2 playing card decks I’m currently funding on Kickstarter. I love these little creatures, especially the teeny ones. 💚 (links in bio)
Two new decks of #cards to show today. Neither is #Chinese. Both, however, are #PVC cards with metal leaf giving them a very unique look.
One deck is a silver colour (though very probably not silver inside: possibly white gold leaf) #poker deck. The other is a gold-colour (very probably having actual gold leaf inside) #tarot deck. If it sounds crazy that actual gold is possibly and likely (respectively) being used inside playing cards, keep in mind that gold leaf is cheap like borscht. There's not a lot of gold in a 1m² area of gold leaf...
I can’t get over how adorable these mini playing card decks are. In about 2 weeks I launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund 2 sets of decks in standard & mini sizes. Scroll back a little bit to see photos of the other deck!
I am so damn proud of the community for this. We raised more than $17,000 at the @eff#poker tournament at @defcon! Thank you so much to @daddycocoaman, our wonderful MC, @deviantollam & @malwarejake for being our Celebrity Bounty guests (and bringing some awesome prizes for the ppl who knock them out!), and to my wonderful dad Mike for coaching and supporting new players all through the tournament.
Security researchers have demonstrated how they were able to exploit a flaw which allowed them to hack the card-shuffling devices used in casinos and poker rooms.
The one thing I like about Oklahoma, is when I drive through Norman on the old Rte 66, I take all those rubes' money at the poker tables.
Easy pickings.
Plus they voted for Sarah Huckabee Sanders, which tells you everything.
Saps and suckers. #oklahoma#poker
Game series I really enjoy playing include #Pokemon, #Mario, #SmashBros and #AceAttorney. I've played at least one game in almost every major Nintendo franchise.
