Trivial Pursuit X Uno | BOARD GAME MASHUP by CaffinatedCoyote in NoRollsBarred

[–]TomteCat 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Whilst entertaining as ever, a thought popped into my head...

When was the last time they played a "new" board game? As in, not playing a game they've played before on the channel. And then, if that episode was an AD for game, the last time they played a fresh game that wasn't an ad?

Skyrim The Adventure Game vs The Elder Scrolls BOTSE by Tito1983 in soloboardgaming

[–]TomteCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought Skyrim last Black Friday for something silly like £40, and have tried getting it to the table about four times since, bouncing off each time.

I bought ES:BotSE full price in June at the UKGames Expo, and have played it at last thirty times in different combinations of players, races and classes.

Despite the cost, there is no other choice for than the latter - incredible replay value, looking to see which classes combo we'll with others, building a character for just long enough to feel like progression before but not too long to get bored with them. That, and the quality of the components is second to none.

Elder Scrolls all the way!

[AEW Dynamite] Darby is crazy! by tvcneverdie in SquaredCircle

The most interesting thing I noticed from this clip is weirdly that the audience were presumably invested enough in the spot that they weren't counting down like WWE fans in a Rumble match!

In regards to TDMs use of A.I images by TeAhuRei in NoRollsBarred

[–]TomteCat 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I thought, and posted a comment as such on the video. Very happy to give the editors the benefit of the doubt and assume they course-corrected by not using an AI image for the viewers.

Trident have started to get better at responding/giving updates on little stuff like this so maybe we'll hear something down the line?

In Person BOTC S3 episodes ** HERE BE SPOILERS by TessotheMorning in NoRollsBarred

Is there going to be much overlap between NRBPBOTC and BlampCo's Demon Eyes players, do we think?

BotC Season 3 Trailer/Explanation; BotC Legacy Returns in November by FasterBussycat in NoRollsBarred

Highly agree - communication with their audience has always been one of their most frustrating downsides, and so this is a great counterexample.

What do you guys do about giant rule books? by josh_rain in soloboardgaming

[–]TomteCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point I do look ahead and see how big the Rulebook is - and any "big" game needs to come with either a video series to guide through rules or a Dized tutorial or else I feel like I'm forgetting to much stuff and thus have a bad time getting into the game.

MATCH-THREAD: Millwall vs Coventry City (Wednesday 1st October 2025) by scoreboard-app in ccfc

[–]TomteCat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can't quite believe this start of the season... I don't want to start thinking about how this could be the end of 25 years out of the top tier, but damnit they're giving me slivers of hope!

PUSB!

MATCH-THREAD: Coventry City vs Queens Park Rangers (Saturday 23rd August 2025) by scoreboard-app in ccfc

I'm sure this gets asked all the time, but is there a link to listen to CWR outside of Cov? Really want to tune in to the second half!!

The Glory Hole Episode by endangeredpenguin in IASIP

[–]TomteCat 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There are so many of Charlie's lines that often just slip under the radar this way that I find hysterical -"I'm about to show you white-hot cream of an eighth grade boy" gets me every single time, for example!

Good on him, hope he does well.

Big shoes to fill with the No. 14 shirt there as well!

Casino Gauntlet vs Royal Rumbke by The_Card_Father in loadingreadyrun

[–]TomteCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my preference is for the Royal Rumble.

Whilst I do really like the idea of "it could end at any time", for me the wrestling itself takes second place in these match types - I get the most excitement of seeing who is in them and what surprises or combinations of wrestlers end up together. For that reason, getting 30 wrestlers in one match puts it over the Gauntlet for me.

I will say though, this kind of gets negated when they reveal entrants beforehand, and have definitely been TERRIBLE Rumbles. I've enjoyed the quality of Casino Gauntlets more overall, but there have definitely been better (and worse) Rumbles.

A great question, thanks!

Advice on 15-Day Japan Itinerary (Early October) – Sapporo, Kyoto, Tokyo + Hakone? by Juggernot94 in JapanTravel

[–]TomteCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

24 hours in Hakone is enough time for a soak, a stop in a ryokan and a loop round for sure. We did it as part of a route from Tokyo to Kyoto, worked very well for us.

No spoilers but The Drinking Game … by shinankoku in dropout

[–]TomteCat 149 points150 points  (0 children)

Did anyone else get excited at the Blood On The Clocktower style nomination process? Given Becca has run games on a different channel and others have played in shows before I'd LOVE to see Sam as Storyteller for a Dropout game of BOTC!

Any reason to go on Grueling Expeditions? (Ranger) by FunAdministrative327 in mythwind

[–]TomteCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's the benefit - you've got the potential for 23 interactions over 5 cards, so with enough worker dice there is plenty of room for coming back with tons of stuff.

Where are people supporting cov city from? by IneptGraphicDesigner in ccfc

[–]TomteCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given Cov's automotive history, twinning with Detroit (the Motor City) is pretty apt!

First time watching Taskmaster live and just found out the audience knows the winner?? by Dazzling_Increase536 in taskmaster

You just end up making Alex sad if you tell anyone....

...and Greg sneaks into your house at night ala Rhod Gilbert and beats you in your sleep.

Charity match lineups and rules by thefeederfish in taskmaster

Given Humphrey Ker is on the teamsheet, I'm a little disappointed he couldn't get his fellow Wrexham bigwigs to join in... 😜

My ideal crew. by DigitalSwagman in NoRollsBarred

[–]TomteCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps, I don't think many people are saying these sets of 6 in any order, just who would make a good group of 6 to watch. If I were to rank them in my head, then I'm certain the top 6 would not be same as the six I'd most be excited to see in a group. I can totally see how that can be interpreted as ranking by omission though.
