First?
A Wednesday treat! Hope everyone at Watch it Played has a good new year!
Moon Knight!!!
I think Publishers should move away from Kickstarter.
Here's why:
1. You deal directly with the consumer.
2. Product can be cheaper as Publishers don't have to pay Kickstarter a cut.
3. No more "Kickstarter Exclusives" now they're Backer Exclusives which means they can sell them at a later date without the side of salt.
4. Kickstarter is anti-union, this will give them grief later on.
Great video! I really want a cat named Dobble. My cats just have terrible names like Walt Whiskers and Jane Clausten.
3:13 ‘How am Ya?’ I’m from very near the Black Country. They are called Yam Yam’s and they pretty much are Birmingham. Couple of miles at most. Yam yams are brummies but not all brummies are Yam yams. That’s the way to think it.
How much for the accent?
mmmmmm Banks's reminds me of living in Albrighton
Peaky F**king Blinders
The fact that Matthew is not dressed up as Sweet Zombie Santa makes me slightly sad, but suddenly I feel worlds better as the news is here!
How do you have a love/hate relationship with a show you’ve never seen?
Hat off to Gale Force Nine who ignored Crowd funding entirly!
Grumpkins.
Yay, Ross on the TLN stream. He's great. Ask him how Rogan Morebash is.
abandoned kickstarter?
abandoned all their backers with an unusable board with no way to play the game without stacking things into piles. I can't believe they aren't offering an at cost to the consumer solution for etherfield's board.
I can't believe they are missing delivery for months on nemesis because their boards are falling apart pre shipping.
Peaky Blinders, absolutely Brilliant. You have to watch it?
Thanks for making this video! Yay for more Unmatched!
The more that get away from Kickstarter the better.
Wow, I had no idea that Castles of Mad King Ludwig reprint was coming. Shut up and take my money! It'll be worth it for the bigger tiles alone. Happy Long-Awaited End of 2020, all at WiP!
I love the little edit notes in the corner
Any word on releases schedule for Unmatched Marvel? There are four sets, so will it be one a quarter or all four released at the same time?
Thank you for this wonderful service.
Here is hoping we add the show-formerly-known-as-Underdogs barking sound effect to this show too. ❤️⬇️🐺. Please and thank you Rodney Chaz Newsprogramme and Matthew Talkman.
It's a good show. Only Brummies don't watch Peaky Blinders…
off topic but I want to know. what type of shelving do you use for your games? I have a crapload of board and card games and over time it warps the shelves. I have cheap walmart brand book shelves.
So good. Thank you. Now go away. No. Changed my mind. Come back. Bye.
Nooooo! Triangle-shaped boxes are NEVER acceptable…
"Lick it" is the third option when talking about Cyberpunk. Just don't blame anyone if you get electrocuted.
Don't worry Matthew, I work in the area that Peaky Blinders is based on. Small Heath. And ive never watched a single episode either! XD
Unsuccessfully trying to find the TLN twitch stream today. 🙁
You're missing out not watching Peaky Blinders. It's brilliant!
I am intrigued as to what the queen has to do with board games… We shall watch on
"unless I'm literally in it"
Please can we have a This Game is Broken pack?!? Someone suggest this on Restoration Games website.
Can we just all agree that the editing is amazing!
That bit at the end where Matthew speaks in his native tongue broke my brain and my phone – had to do a hard restart on both.
They make it sound like gamefound is the only one doing day based content releases but they were done by several games on kickstarter before gamefound. I think it was just based on the way the publisher decided to do things and not the way kickstarter wanted it done.
