hey everyone, this video features a spaghetti ball and also a kinder egg, what more can i tell you to convince you to spend 27 minutes learning about why i didn't like a good board game

Vantage is a perfect game. Naturally, I had to find problems with it.

okay boomer

tomorrow, 5pm BST tune in to No Pun Included

game idea: Hats vs. Bald men figure out how they're gonna deal with aging in this innovative rondel action selection system where reaching the end of the rondel is full bald. have you gathered enough swagger to style it out, or did you accrue enough hats to hide your scalp?

sorry folks, not gonna do board game reviews no more - pivoting hard to motivational speaking

absolutely wild conspiracies on /r/boardgames - out of this world magical thinking. no basis in reality, no evidence, just gut vibes manifesting into fact that other people pick up on and spread to more places. that place needs to go in the bin.

so close

Dan is right outside your door, coming for your fun. He's gonna take the fun away, rip it right out. Then he's gonna tie fun up in a basement and just leave it there and you're just gonna be an empty funless husk. And if you're worried about that - you should be. Dan is the fun killer. Beware.

Circa 2012, I was invited to a game of Fiasco with *drumroll* Graham Linehan, who at the time, had never played that sort of thing before. But the game got cancelled because Linehan went into a mental breakdown just thinking about playing an indie TTRPG. He was never well adjusted

step 1: go watch Angela's videos step 2: go unwatch all the hacks you've been watching step 3 (unnecessary): thank me later

The problem is they haven't ignored the fears - they've accepted the fears, and failed to present a narrative where the fears ARE just fears, unrelated to their material discomforts. You may as well try to create policy based around dealing with people's fear the sky my fall on their heads.

Crediting a developer on the box but neglecting to credit the artist in the same location is an active decision and I think it's very NOT cool.

reporting this for making me want it too much

I had so much fun talking to Liz! If you wanna hear more about how and why we do things on NPI these are all the juicy deets (juice not guaranteed).

i have to ask, why are so many board game tutorials shot like they are on 3x speed? i don't need the video to be quick, i'm watching this to learn. youtube literally has a speed up function, i don't need you to do it for me, i just need you to teach me the board game.

how dare you talk to me, how dare you even LOOK at me??? oh wait you liked my skeet? nevermind all good bro

when one of your favourite games is being reprinted by one of your least favourite publishers 🙏

Hey, I'm making a new podcast with @ava.foxfort.net & @giantbrain.co.uk where we answer listeners' questions about tabletop games: anxieties about etiquette, dilemmas you need help resolving, recommendations, questions about history & culture, or spicy controversies. I'd LOVE your questions, please.

Free game ideas for publishers: House Flippers - a polyamino game where you build houses upside down to sell them for profit. Tungsten Rod - a party game where players try to be the first to break a tungsten rod by any means necessary. Raw Colonialism - another colonialism game but sans pretense.

in the last vid, i showed off the scuffed cards in the game, and some of the comments were "this is why you sleeve things" and i'm like: no? this is precisely why you DON'T sleeve things. if i sleeved those cards, how would i get them scuffed?

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

I miss winamp

Read Iain Banks, they said. He's a master of sci-fi they said.

Hi, my name is Phil Water Tank, and I have an important message about coffee machines.

That's a place where the dead say That a man lives no more Than his fair share of days - Bernie Taupin

still find it funny that they can just say this shit, yet I have to say "unalive" when talking about a fucking board game

I guess we do have some pull, huh? Although, honestly, this brings more questions about what is even BGG's audience if a second rate board game youtube channel can punch a game up that high?

This is how I signal the start of the weekend

me: James Gunn is the ultimate expression of the commodification of the punk ethos, the ultra-sanitized version of a once counter-consumerist movement, amalgamated into a pop culture franchise also me: FOXY SHAZAM FULL VOLUME NOW

uk newsrooms this week: editor: so, what's our lead story? news guy: someone famous got shot in america editor: wow wow, who was it? what are they famous for? news guy: trust me, very famous

I've noticed that when we cover games that have not yet released, the videos don't do so great, especially in the comments where people don't have anything to argue about yet. Anyway, this game is special. It was a privilege to be able to talk about it, and I wish everyone a meaty play of it.

The Old King's Crown is a rare game that excels both at intricate play and storytelling, and it's shortcomings only further fuel the richness of the experience. Our review.

i feel strongly in my bones that in about 1 years time someone's gonna launch a kickstarter for Hollow Knight: The Board Game (and it's gonna be mid)

I just discovered @nopunincluded.com and I wish my English were better to understand everything better. I can't express how this video felt, it like... I don't know. I don't remember the last time I saw a video that felt like a hug. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l6u...

America two dollars and twentyseven cents your president is a sex pest

So, I went to London to shoot parts of the next vid, and wouldn't you know it, tube strike. My legs, someone help me.

Love to see London honour Columbo like that

Keep hearing about this new bluesky alternative called X. Maybe I should check it out but don't know what to expect from it 🤔

Deep inside dreamspace, unburdened by big video game hide criticmancers, accessing gamer brains via the weave, secretly writing culture code. They are the unsung shapers of what video game is cool now, and you will never see them come or go.

*enters room* this fucking place again

This is genuinely what a Labour government thinks terrorism looks like in the UK right now and I'm losing my god damn mind

I say this as a person who forcefully deleted Spelunky 2 from his Steam library because the playtime was > 1500 hours - I think Derek Yu is onto something here.

we need a label for UK politicians who endlessly "empathise" with fascist concerns - let's try a US one my latest with @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/709...
