You should Play BARTOG, Me and my friends played it every lunchtime for at least 3 years in secondary school. It's basically UNO with a standard deck of cards (with or w/out Joker, it's up to you, a lot of starting rules, and after each round, the winner makes up another rule that you don't disclose to the other players, so they have to work it out (this is the most fun part of the game apart from making ridiculous rules that people have to abide by.
Anyone can enforce the rules, and breaking rules (if you get caught) will get you an extra card while the enforcer will say 'failure to -catchy rule name-. For example, someone sets a rule that on playing an Ace, you have to get up from the table, flap your arms like wings and spin around while saying -I'm a fairy booshaka booshaka booshaka-, but a player fails to do this because they don't know what the rule is yet, so you would say -Failure to Funky Fairy- (alliteration is always fun.
Starting rules:
-No swearing
-No cheating (blatantly looking at people's cards etc.
-No discussing the rules (unless in a point of order, which can be called into action by saying -point of order-.
-No saying Point of Order during a Point of order unless dismissing the Point of order (Say P. O. O instead)
-No touching cards during a point of order (point of order ends when someone says -point of order over-
-No violence (striking others etc)
-Don't touch the cards before the dealer
-You must say -last card- when you have one card left
-You must say -Bartog- when you play your last card, if you don't and someone penalises you it will count as a -failure to win- and you receive 3 cards instead of just one.
-Start with 5 cards

Black Jack or Chase the Ace are cool card games to play.
A game we used to play was called stone ball ( because we used to be stoned when we played it but you dont have to be. My friend used to make origami paper balls and we all used to stand in a circle, gently patting a origami ball to each other in no particular order, you just had to be switched on with your reactions. The aim of the game was not to let it drop to the floor or crumple up in anyway, it's a little bit like volleyball but with a paperball or it's also a bit like when kids keep hitting a balloon in the air and try to keep hitting it into the air without letting it drop to the ground, so we'd play stone ball after playing several rounds of black jack and or chase the ace. It's a perfect way to relax after an intensive session.

Dear Proko, no disrespect, but you have announced so many courses, and you haven't really launched (nor finished) most of them. It feels like you're really giving up on courses, and working on other stuff. You seem to be doing a thousand things but finishing none. I'm still waiting for that basics course. There's a lot of info on the internet, but yours is really high quality, so I'd really like to work with you. But you announce, and announce, and announce and then. nothing! It feels as if you're playing with our ilusions, man! It kind of kills your credibility.

Hey there i have a Q for you on delegation, what do/would you do when someone you hire is 95% good and has the right culture, but they have dropped the ball a couple times on projects in ways that just can't fly. I hate the idea of checking their work with a -red pen- or having to schedule a meeting weekly to ask them if they did all of their jobs EG: following up with their interlocking people for the projects. But. getting an angry email from a large corporate client b/c my employee went MIA for 2 weeks is super unacceptable. GRRRRRRR. thoughts?

I thought about working on my line quality many times, but there are also a lot of other things that I have to do. I wonder if it actually matters, guys like Jim Lee 'look' for their lines, erase a lot, but when they find them, they do find them. Practicing line quality, or drawing? Practicing line quality, or painting? Practicing line quality, or shading?
Well, you get the point. Time is short. too short. I hope you talk about this one day during your podcasts.
Cheers

-18: 16 I know you said it as a joke. but seriously, you're one of very few artist/entrepreneuers I know of, and as you said, there are others that can teach the basics better than you can. If you did make a buisiness management for artists course I would buy it, I can find the fundamentals many other places. Art entreprenuership is something you'd have a good market niche in.

Best way to get enthusiastic about scrum (or any agile method) is to first learn how arse-backwards waterfall is (and how it was never supposed to even be used in real life, and was just a demo in a lecture of the worst possible method of running projects, it even read DON'T USE THIS on the slide)

For individuals trying to learn to organize and move things forward, I always recommend Trello because it is great for smaller amounts of work, and it is more intuitive and psychologically rewarding to move task cards from column to column along the person's personalized paths of completion.

Scrum is a logistical framework for working in teams, but it's mostly used in Tech where projects need to be developed quickly with a lot of moving parts working in tandem. I think it's interesting that Stan is trying to apply it outside of tech.
