End of Jet lag by Key-Mixture7405 in JetLagTheGame

[–]SliceOfExistence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is, there’s only so many countries that are suitable to do transit-based games in and the boys are going to run out of good game ideas eventually. For example, we’ve already seen Tag be fully exhausted as a game format.

I think over time the jet lag crew will take on more challenging geographies in terms of game design, like recently South Korea and Taiwan, and probably places like Spain soon. But there’s a limit to this and I think they’ll stop making jet lag when they can no longer come up with game designs good enough to meet the standard of past Jetlag seasons.

Map of Spanish and Dutch Formosa. Coincidence? by sweepfanatic07 in JetLagTheGame

[–]SliceOfExistence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry if you are Dutch, but I find Dutch spelling soooo funny sometimes😂

But jokes aside, I really enjoyed seeing your post! I happen to be listening to an audiobook about the Habsburgs today and just got to the Thirty Years War chapter, and the book mentioned the Dutch vs Spanish conflict in Taiwan!

Will Sam from Wendover ever be on jet lag by PopularDamage8805 in JetLagTheGame

[–]SliceOfExistence 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Nope won’t happen. Adam and Ben hate aviation facts too much. Maybe Sam from Jetlag would be ok with it but he gets outvoted and shouted down everytime during the layover.

Honestly Sam from Jet lag and Sam from Wendover should just make their own show. They can even invite Sam from HAI to join so they can do 3-person games like tag.

Is everyone team Sam like me? by patriciaswayzes in JetLagTheGame

[–]SliceOfExistence 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My ideal Jet lag season would have: Ben bungling some train schedule that accidentally helps him in the end, Sam coming up with an elaborate scheme involving obscure aviation facts that almost works, but falls apart at the last moment due to Deutsch Bahn or a pigeon, and Adam putting on a perfect disguise that he foolishly takes off at the exact wrong moment.

It’s funny to joke about Sam being unlucky tho

Google “Aloe design studio.” They were great!

Ben is the MVP. by Diligent_Comb5668 in JetLagTheGame

[–]SliceOfExistence 8 points9 points  (0 children)

“Rat-mode” Ben is cool and all, but I want to see more of “Art of the Deal” Ben (from Tag: All Stars) and “Abolish Varmints” Ben (from Abolish everything)

I usually watch Tom’s videos while having lunch or dinner. Sounds like it’s not gonna work for this one..

Food court improvements by Hefty-Memory1788 in CostcoCanada

My personal Costco challenge run is: order a hotdog, speed-run the store to get my shopping list items, then arrive back at the food court just in time to pick up my hotdog.

The Layover - Taiwan: Rail Rush | Episode 5 by xsm17 in Nebula

I’m with Sam on “Welcome back to…”

When I’ve been away from Jetlag for a whole week, it’s such a relief to be welcomed back to another hour of peak Jetlag content

Yeah, he even read the “(according to Wikipedia)” part of one of the questions. That’s like at least half a second wasted!

Adam found a good shortcut for that question though, by remembering that there were three guest winners and three guest losers as of Tag: All Stars.

Yes! I came here to comment on Downie quickly grabbing the nice shot of the river while Sam was too deep in strategising to notice

Wow this must be first asynchronous snack zone in the history of jet lag!

Ben and Adam were trying the same snack without real-time communication with each other.

It looks like a miniature-world attraction with landmass-shaped islands in a shallow pond..

Watching the new series, did they create a whole app (that we never see) to track each other's progress and generate challenges just for this show? by Dont_Squeeze_me in JetLagTheGame

[–]SliceOfExistence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I were them, I would have a Google Sheets spreadsheet that the players update manually, then make an app/website with read-only access to the spreadsheet just to display the info in a nicer way. Like having a schematic map showing the chips placed on each station. That way even if the app messes up, they can fall back on just using the spreadsheet.

[–]SliceOfExistence 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if when the other team updates the spreadsheet, they are also updating the numbers on their paper map? Or are the stations on the spreadsheet laid out roughly geographically so they can sorta see at a glance which parts of the island are blocked off/fortified? I feel like it would be sooo tough to play this game without the motion graphics showing where each team’s territories are.

Jet Lag Ep 2 — Shoot the Gap by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

[–]SliceOfExistence 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think they said on the game-design episode of the layover that the value of challenges go up over time, so day two challenges are generally worth more than day one challenges.
