I would put on my robe and wizard hat and play Magicka dressed like that. Believe me, I already have the robe and the hat in my closet (I've made them myself and worn them in cosplay). This thought hit me as I was entering yet another Magicka giveaway (I've been trying to win that game for so long :<). I think it would really enhance the playing experience and get me in the mood for some spellcasting and wizardry. And besides, wizards are freaking AWESOME!! Who wouldn't want to go around dressed like one??

So I was wondering if there's anyone else who thinks it would be cool to play Magicka dressed as a wizard yourself?? Or better still, if there's anyone who has already done it?? There must be someone who has ideas as weird as the ones I have :D.

EDIT: I've finally gotten my own copy of Magicka!! Since this community has been so generous towards me, I will post a pic of my robe and wizard hat, as requested. I have also made a giveaway for the community (but it's over now). So here's the pic. It's a pic of my Apprentice cosplay from Dungeon Defenders. Please forgive me because the pic isn't all that good. I took it in my apartment and didn't have time to set up any better background, and I was alone at home so I had a really hard time trying to set the camera correctly :(. So from now on, I'll be playing Magicka dressed like that :D

why would anyone wait to win magicka? its like a few bucks every single sale, and wasnt it on a bundle, and its on amazon right now for cheap? this game is 2.50 every other week. dont buy 2 vended bottles of soda, and there you go you have enough for magicka. its a great game. you shouldnt wait to win just buy it.

True :) I would even say that Magicka is totally worth its full price. Great game.

PS:
OP's first sentence "I would put on my robe and wizard hat and play Magicka dressed like that." reminded me of:

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like that :(. I'm not begging anyone to give me Magicka, I will try to win it here on SG fair and square. I'm just a little disappointed that the chances are so slim and I haven't had any luck with it yet.

be more active in forums, chat, etc, do not enter in every single give-away that you see, just the games that you really want, and maybe, your basic karma will improve. (and you could be invited to one of those secret groups)

Join a specific group with like 30 members, however you'll have to do giveaways of games every month or so once you join, but you have higher chance of winning, not specifically Magicka.

I'm sincerely sorry if my post sounds like begging, but it's not. It's not even stealth begging. I'm just saying I don't have Magicka, I'd love to win it, BUT I'm not asking anyone to donate one to me. I want to win it fair and square like everyone else, without begging for it :).

Well, at least the chance of winning increases every time you lose a giveaway.

12 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Umm, what do you mean by that?? I know It'd be nice to think your chances get better by every lose, but that's not exactly how this system works. When picking a winner, it chooses them completely randomly, it doesn't take into account how many times you have already tried to win. People who have hundreds, even thousands of entries and loses, and people who are entering the giveaway for the first time have equally good chances of winning.

But you're right, because in reality, after a lost giveaway I usually try to comfort myself by convincing myself that there will always be new giveaways and I might get luckier the next time. It's just a little thought that keeps me trying here on SG :D

True, the actual chance you win the gift still is about 1/500. But what if you enter 1000 gifts, how high is the chance you will not win a single of those gifts? Look at it like a die, if you roll it 10 times there's a high chance you rolled 1. But when you just roll the die once, there's only a 1/6 chance.

There is a good chance you will have won something in a (large) number of giveaways... But all giveaways are independent, meaning you'll have no greater chance of winning your 1000th entry than your 1st assuming they have the same number of entrants at closing time.

But by the time you reach your 1000th entry, chances are, you'll have won.

You clearly don't know how statistics work. Just look at Cha0sSt0rm's comment for a GREAT understanding of statistics.

12 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

What he's saying is what I'm trying to explain. Let's say all giveaways you enter are 100 entries. In 1 entry you have a 1% chance of winning. In 50 entries 39.5%, 100 entries 63.4%, 200 entries 86.6%. Note that this is the chance you win 1 gift in all those entries, and 1 giveaway is still 1%, though the likeliness you haven't won anything with 200 entries is rather low. Go do some probability calculations and tell me what you find.

Don't worry - I finished the game without encountering any bugs.

By the way, instead of hoping to win it you might have better luck buying this huge Paradox bundle from Amazon for less than the price of Magicka alone.

You must be quite lucky (or perhaps I am unlucky). I encountered a bug within 10 minutes of playing the game for the first time. I randomly fell through the floor and died during the tutorial. :/

You can make a clicky like this: use these symbols [ ] ( ) , and [put your text inside these](and the link inside these). There must be no space or any other characters between the symbols. I'm really bad at explaining things, if you didn't understand my description, you can read a more accurate explanation here, the part 'creating a link'.

Bit of Both! It was actually made as a quick cosplay for the local LanParty/Comic and Manga Convention one or two years ago, it took me a bit less than a week to have it done, but it was done mainly for fun.
I have only coplayed twice, first one was a Ragnarok Online Novice, and maybe (Just maybe) next time I'll make a Tf2 Pyro suit.
