YOU ROLLED A "1" ON THE ZOCCHIHEDRON, YOU LOSE



This dude is gold. Lou Zocchi is some sorta dice god who's been around forever. He holds a patent for freaking "dice braking systems" and developed the D100 (Zocchihedron). He understands polyhedral angles and verticies to the point that perhaps one day he will be needed to thwart a freshly loosed Cthulhu and his busted geometry dimensional tricks. I've seen Lou at GenCon each time at his sad little booth of outdated wonders, but one time, I did buy some of his Trek plastic ships there. Though to be honest I though he had plastic Romulan BOPs. But, I was wrong. I did get a magic trick along with my purchase though.



OK, the point. Listening to him kick dice science in these videos is amusing. If you stick through the 20 minutes (doubtful), you'll learn a few further reasons why Chessex should be burned to the ground. But mostly, just enjoy the airbrushed shirt, handmade graphs from 20 years ago, copyright dated "200", little china girl, the sweet editing job between part 1 and part 2, his hapless unbiased assistant, magic tricks, usage of curse words like gee whiz, and the pure mania the guy exudes.
