I had a whale of a time watching this episode!
Snake. Snake.. Snaaaaaaaake.
Intro “What’s your name, son?!” #Hamilfans
Metal Gear Solid is cancelled?
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Really interested to see more of the Stellaris game!
So… We're getting stickers of those badges, right? You didn't just post those with no plans of letting us have our own, did you?
Sooo … some of the letters in the names and titles are white, some are red. Are you trying to send secret messages? I’ve got Aughdxgv so far…
I loved Ian in Lawrence of Arabia. No idea he was doing board game art now. Awesome.
Just too clarify – The Witcher game is gonna be crowdfunded on Kickstarter for global audience, zagram is only gonna crowdfunding Polish version of the game.
You faked me out! When you said Root I thought "there's no way they turned around this script fast enough to talk about Roots Marauders expansion." Good video! And rest assured, everything you said about MGS was definely 100% correct.
I thought there were no legal intellectual property rights to game mechanisms…
No Everdell News? tsk tsk
Still the best news of the every other week. I look forward to this news every single time. Keep being awesome please.
Who would ever get encumbered while playing The Witcher? Not me! Never me! Certainly not me ever nope.
Stellaris boardgame? only two hours? Colour me intrigued
Great Western Trail, late summer? It depends where you are standing Matthew!
Really wish the graphics stayed up a smidge longer. They went by too quick for me to read the jokes.
I played legends of the five ring years ago it was a fun game
Man…MGS 2? I think the original Metal Gear Solid or the Gamecube version: Twin Snakes is a must play!
Pretty excited for a game set in NZ. But I guess you're heading sheep not cows????
Great video! Your jokes about Metal Gear Solid are 💯 accurate. This seemed like such a busy news week. I’m excited for the very recent announcements of two expansions to Everdell and then existence of the Stardew Valley board game.
Well, my news this week was discovering some actual official Ravensburger news… will come later this year… on some sort of new material for HORRIFIED!!!
Could that be an expansion???
Thought you might mention another video game -> board game adaptation with the announcement of the Stardew Valley board game earlier this week.
Witcher will be also on KS at the same time as on polish one.
Alien Invasion in Mars? Shouldn't that be humans on the cover?
I'm not surprised that Konami put the brakes on the Metal Gear game. It may be a good thing. With Matsuuchi free of Konami's corporate direction and historically bizarre management decisions, he should be free to make the game the way HE wants it to be.
Definitely looking forward to that On Mars expansion, and oh boy do I wish I loved cardio lol. Thanks Matthew!
Great stuff Matthew. Love what you do.
I see Paula has found a use to the Lion mane from the big game
You take care too Matthew ^^.
I love Stellaris, but I expect them to lose a lot of the detail in the transition to the tabletop, much like Space Empires did. I love Space Empires 4 Gold, but the board game version, while not bad, was seriously lacking in comparison. Also, playing my favorite empire, determined exterminators, may be an issue!
Amazingly informative video. I love this series. Thanks
How is Argentina not in the west? It's west of Europe.
Glad I didn’t buy the older version yet. Looking forward to the new edition of GWT. 🙂
Narwhaled was probably my favorite. Huge fan of you Matthew keep up the great work!
Asmodee buying BGA… hmm I don't man.
You are fun to watch. I like your humor.
Best. News source. Ever.
