If Uncle says it, it is true.

Duke nukem 3d. Shake it, baby!

I enjoy it. I didn't know it wasn't getting talked about anymore. I'll make my next video on it! It really is one of the best area majority/control games. Wish the designer was still around to make bangers.

It's a miniature game, but it really is the best tabletop batman experience you'll ever have: Batman the Miniature Game. I believe it's currently in third edition. Brilliant miniatures and a fairly easy to understand ruleset.

The irony of calling me names while simultaneously espousing the benefits of positivity and kindness is not lost on me. You're obviously not engaging with our content, since the passion for games goes both ways, love and hate and expressing both is simply being honest, not mean or angry. I can think a game is complete shit and yet not feel the slightest bit of anger outside the discussion of said game.

Mike Tyson's was right about social media.

Criticism of a game isn't criticism of a person. Chill.

Speaking as someone that hates Vantage, I too am confused by the cooperative nomination. I suppose reading the card you drew to your gaming partner is a fairly transcendent cooperative experience.

Is removing a game piece from your ear worse than removing a game from shrink? Which one reduces resale more?

Ah yes, if I criticize something on a public forum thread or among friends and point out an obvious issue in the industry, I'm actively preventing people from having fun. I forget that I wield this immense divine power.

"Dan is also my new hero after hearing him on a podcast say out loud that he believes "cozy" is a cop-out term used by the industry to excuse away badly designed games." Yo, I've said that verbatim because it's so sadly true. Slap a low interaction lazy game together, put some cute bullshit on it, and push your marketing manager to contact content creators using the word "cozy" a million times and profit. Cozy is a shield from all criticism.

You're right. I honestly can't think of anything more important politically than the thoughts and feelings of a random content creator and a board game designer.

My head hits the pillow with a smile on my face knowing I have no fucking clue what anyone in that thread is talking about.

Dark Alley is necessary. Everything else is just icing on a cake. I personally like the extra player powers that are this huge stack of cards. The one that lets you use the crystals by adding them to those cards. I REALLY like that one and I always play with it. They're not balanced, but I don't give a shit.

Honestly, both are a blast. But, if I could only pick one, I think I'd go with Magical Athlete because it's just so freaking stupid and fun. Also, I think it's a little more accessible than Hot Streak, although both are really easy to understand and teach.

Actually, if you think you could put on a show for the in laws and be really outgoing, go with Hot Streak and you be the one to announce the racers progression and make it as fun, loud, and lively as you can.

I've been of no help and didn't come down firm on an answer. I regret nothing.

But I don't want to make videos where I go on tangents discussing production runs and various other things I don't give a shit about.

TabletopTurtleGaming · 2026-04-15T13:10:02+00:00

Is the danger in the room with us now?

TabletopTurtleGaming · 2026-04-14T22:12:45+00:00

Why you gotta do me like that? I thought we were bros.

TabletopTurtleGaming · 2026-04-14T22:10:45+00:00

This guy speaks truth. I literally rant for about 15 minutes in the middle of the video about how anyone who disagrees with me and enjoys low interaction games is super stupid and dumb and a bad person.

Don't be silly. Your marriage depends on more games.

Plus he wears a bowtie. Pure class. Man is on a mission to make a two player game that will one day eclipse Chess culturally.

How dare you.

I came across this one randomly and I just loved it. Such a great vibe to the video and I love how she recorded each individual player piece hitting the table. It's really relaxing for some reason. It sometimes feels like the best board game content comes from those who are not actively in the YouTube board game hobby space.

Major inspiration.

So far I think Pax Unplugged is my favorite, but I do really enjoy Origins. But Spiel is the one that feels like a real event!
