I wonder if this is their tonal return to high stakes and perma death that Ally was talking about wanting to get back to in one of the aftershows.

CatstropheWaitress posted:That's not Starstruck 2 Nah I'm happy. SSO was very fun, but all of the extra mechanics bolted on to the base rules (spaceship combat, movement within the spaceship during spaceship combat, spaceship to ground combat, spaceship base building, money and bills management) added way less to the narrative than to the runtime and was totally broken by the end.

Just now getting around to One Year Later BTS and there's some real good stuff. A frisbee decapitating the Cerro Gordo Sam standee got a solid laugh. e: Green room sleepover is adorable Pleads fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Apr 17, 2025 |

I hope they do something cool with the airship, since it'll (probably) be a continuous set. I'm dreaming of the table having a multi-level airship model in the middle with sides that come off so they can move their minis around interior maps. Put it on a rig so they can raise and lower it to table level as they go back and forth from interior stuff to wide scale stuff with little ships on the table.

In terms of the BTS I did think some of the really sincere compliments they paid each other could've made the main cut! Might not have fit the supremely chaotic fast paced energy that the final edit was I guess, but I do think it was definitely sweet and adorable enough and a good way to show how much they love and respect each other.

One neat thing they've been doing this season is putting the titles of the Smartypants presentations up before the episode, and this week's seems like a banger, especially Jess Ross's.

I kinda zoned out when they were explaining the rules in Parlor Room episode 1 but it was a good episode I think. Jess Ross and Demi fans are really eating these last 24 hours e: I watched Gastronauts episode 1 after this and I’m gonna have a heart attack just from looking at these dishes omfg Escobarbarian fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Apr 19, 2025 |

Parlor Room's promise to me was always as "a game to make funny people argue" and this first ep delivers on that.

Wavelength is a hell of a lot of fun but you have to know your crowd. It's very good at revealing very weird perspectives people have, Rules are super easy, even drunk people get it in a round or two. It's a game about giving a clue then seeing your friends instantly descend into a rabbit hole and you have to sit there silently as you realize they're all lunatics. or vice versa. Which happens in spades in the episode, as well as the opposite part where you just peg something kind of esoteric in the 60% range (which is way harder than all the way to either side.) Think my favorite round ever was when a friend got 'fancy date' to 'cheap date' and she said "A hog slaughter," which turned into an in joke for years it was like 75% towards fancy.

Wavelength is a great game to play at the end of the evening, just ignore anything related to scoring.

I have never heard of Wavelength but am going to use it to destroy inlaw Easter tomorrow

The app is also excellent and free (with paid add-on packs), though a slightly different vibe in that it’s fully co-operative, so the aim is just to shoot for a high score.

There is a Jackbox version of that game too which is a lot of fun.

It'd be funnier to watch Mulligan yell at Reich about how sick Reich is if the last episode of this show hadn't been about tricking Sam Reich into going to therapy.
