Hi guys, just want to make my own review on this thing..

First off, when I picked up the package at the post office, I thought to myself that this can't be the whole set.. it was so small.. but, when I came home and opened the thing.. it was.. and I got pretty disappointed.. why? Well.. this is maybe a weird thing to care about, but it looked NO-WAY like the pictures they posted at area51, with all the DVD's neatly packed in separate covers, nice colors and stuff.. Oh well.. over to the stuff that really matters..

The second thing I noticed, and this is bad, was the big "book".. they advertised this as "The Blueprint". Well, I expected a total A-Z book on the whole Venusian Arts.. like a super-extended Venusian Arts Handbook.. but no.. this was simply a transcript of the Audio CDs.. what a RIP-OFF! Why would I spend time on reading it, when I can listen to Lovedrop on the CDs?

The Audio CDs rock.. Lovedrop is really good at teaching this stuff.. Every CD is pretty much filled up too.. no 30 minute CDs and BS like that.

And then..
The Video Brain Transplant..
This is simply videotaped parts of a boot-camp... What? We actually pay for something other people already paid for? And we don't even get it all.
There is some good stuff in here, but there is no structure what so ever. The videos start in the middle of topics.. and ends abruptly.. What's up with that? Specially when all the DVDs are less than half full.. Wow.. major disappointment! And it is so badly produced.. At times you watch a blank wall.. they didn't even care to move the camera. The sounds sucks big time, this could have been fixed my renting stuff for $100. The whole thing smells amateur..

Social Cybernetics..
Again.. not very well produced, but this time they actually made more effort to make it for the camera and you can see that it was indented for Mind of Mystery costumers. But.. the sound sucks.. either distorted sound.. or no sound at all.. some of the stuff you can almost not hear at all.. just thru some other dudes mic.. again.. they could have spent a tiny amount of money and gotten it perfect. I honestly hope they didn't hire a guy to do the sound.. if so, he should be kicked out of the sound industry for ever.. (sorry man..). The camera operators and producer is also really bad..
As the Brain Dump DVDs.. the topics get cut off.. and the editor (if there was one) didn't even bother cutting out the bloopers.. wow.. it happens so many times that either mystery or matador says.. ok, go again.. and start over.. haha.. it's ridicules! Amature, amature, amature! (not the PUAs, but the production/post production).

Overall this is a not-planned, badly produced product which is not worth nearly the $2500 we had to pay.. The bright spot in this set is the Audio Mind Dump, even tho the audio quality is bad.. I actually learned some stuff from the CDs.. But.. where did all the new-high-end material go? The only thing they talk about is old routines.. like who lies more, jealous girlfriend and stuff like that.. wow.. I am disappointed

Mystery.. I really thought you would do better than this..
After doing the VH1 show, you can't call this a professional production (as stated in all the BS marketing mails and so on). This is as amature as it gets..

I still respect Mystery, Matador and Lovedrop for their PUA skills, you guys are awesome.. but you did not manage to pull this off..
And yes.. if someone would ask me, as Mike Long did, if I could produce anything better... yes.. if I was the producer of this set.. I can truly say that I would have done it a lot better...

I am sorry to write all this negative stuff.. but I can't lie about what I feel and think about this..

Thanks Mystery, Lovedrop and Matador.. you have done a lot to the community, and it has truly changed my life. I just wish you could have done this better..
