Hell Yeah Gamers! I love dice and if you are anything like me, you do too. Don't pretend like these bad boys haven't caught your eye! As an official Dice-Aholic, I know that they have, give in, succumb to your wants...
Many people believe that Colonel Zocchi is full of bull, but I am undecided. As these things go, he is slightly overzealous, but not totally crazy.
No, no, I know what you are thinking.
NUTJOB!!!
I don't happen to agree, but I understand the sentiment. Something you may not have thought about: my dice rule the table.
Many, nay, ALL of my players have been burned by my GameScience dice. You can feel free to turn away here, I know it is painful.
BOOYAH! INSANE! TOO MUCH POWER!!Color me red, pumpkin, or tan, but color me 20 no matter what! HOLY CANOLI!
What the hell has gotten into Sam? Is he channeling IndyRick? Did HiveGod hack his account and write this review? Did the Harnish taint his brain and cause him to implode?
No, he just thrust his hands into a vat of dice and it has empowered him. What kind of dice? GameScience Dice!
Besides, if I don't roll a 20, I can kill you with by d8 What about my dice? Hell Yeah, that's how I roll.
What I like:
 They are dice
 They roll
 They break the mold (d4 isn't pointy)
 They make my players flee in fear
What I don't like:
They ain't cheap, son.
Jaime and the Harnish are too far away for me to throw these at them
Summary:
If you love Dice, you must buy some!
There is a much better review here: Dice
There is a thread linking the Zocchi videos here: Zocchi Videos
This is entry #19 in the iron reviewer series for me.
FYI: I edited this post for a couple of spelling errors!

Two things, one, I love game science dice. Two, is that the giant canoli on 1st Ave. Around 10th st. or so in the East Village? I walk by that thing every day on my way to work!

Me too! Only part of this review was tongue-in-cheek!

I honestly have no idea - I stole it off the web. To be specific, I took it from the tumblr account of the Heights Institute: Heights Inst Tmblr. They don't list the location, just pictures people take and submit (as far as I understand it). I posted the link in the caption when I uploaded it to my gallery.

Looking at the picture closely I can see stuff in the reflection that I recognize. Definitely the place on 1st ave. Between 10th and 11th. Can't remember the name of it though. Definitely very good canoli there. I think you can order one of those monster canoli for parties, etc.
I've got a game science d20 that was the first d20 I bought. It is still my go to d20. My old gaming group called it the "Player character hating die" due to it's tendency to roll really well when rolling against the players and seemingly completely average all other times.

Is that cannoli giving birth to a litter of adorable little cannolis? Has anyone ever seen them mate?
This is off-topic but clearly of greater concern than the dice, lovely as they are. I want to get a breeding population of cannoli. Review some of those instead; I need to find a good stud for what I think are my females.

A cannoli wasp injected a caterpillar with eggs, and that is the unfortunate, but tasty result!
I also love these dice, especially the 20+ 0-9, 0+ - 9+, d20s. Much better for all your d10 and percentile work.
My players also dread them.

I picked up a set of Game Science dice a couple of months back, and told Sam about my purchase. He complimented them, and immediately said something to the tune of "oh, and don't squeeze the d8, you'll get cut". Fine advice, indeed. Good review Sam!
Edit: On a side note, my dog attempted to eat the lime green Game Science d20 I have. Even dogs like them. Have you tasted them, Sam? My pup says they're tasty.

No, my dog never tried to eat them. A huge cannoli, on the other hand...

Leave the Dice. Take the cannoli.

Ok, the canoli wasp comment made me shudder for some reason.
I love those d20+ dice. I've one set of those that o've not been able to find since I moved. If I don't find them soon I'll have to replace them.
