I really like the lighting. Noticed it right away
Some feedback: I am not a fan of the blue mood lighting
Loving your new setup and the camera quality has improved too.
I'm prepared/expecting to be very let down by a Skyrim board game. On the other hand I'm hyped for the Everdell expansions. I don't back or buy CMON games so that news doesn't bother me. I'm enjoying the Board Game Ramblings videos. Even though I have too many games, I don't have the vast majority that they are covering.
Great set-up. But you should check your camera, the background goes in and out of focus.
I can't wait to play the heck out of modded 4k Skyrim boardgame. Most of my time will spent in character creation, as usual.
The MM sale is killing me, I'm in the UK and contacted them but due to Brexit they're no longer shipping to us here. Sad times
Really happy to hear you didn't bump Rikki's review. She obviously loves doing videos with you and they're a lot of fun to watch 🙂
Saturday Summaries
RadLandz..Put a "z" on the end. That way when they have the inevitable Zombie expansion, it flows right into it.
+1 vote for orange light option, though if you can dial back the saturation on it just a little, that would probably be ideal. To my eyes, the blue is a bit too strong, and the red… yeah… only if you really need it to match a game's theme (and maybe not even then).
Have you expressed your thoughts on Tiny Epic Dungeons? It doesn’t seem like a game you would normally cover but it does have minis and crossed $1million level in its campaign.
great mug
Your new set up is amazing, almost Game aquarium feel.
Or maybe. Lighter in the background. Looks like you're filming in your basement.
bloodstone cancelled your thoughts on it? I was considering backing it but after this failure i doubt i will
Bloodstone got cancelled
Love the studio Alex!
When you log plays, do you log multiple plays of the same game if they are short games?
I'm trying to log all my plays on BBG this year (personal challenge)… Yesterday I logged Fantasy Realms and Skull once, even though we played it multiple times, and I logged Wingspan and The Oceania expansion twice because it's a longer game.
Thanks.
Alex, big thumbs up with prioritizing family and spending time with your daughter.
I think the goal of any Kickstarter should be for all of that content to eventually become retail. That the “exclusives” should be timed exclusives where you get it first but it would be sold separately as expansion content later to the general public. This should always of course be disclosed from the very beginning as the plan. I’m not advocating a company to lie in any manner.
2:08 It diminishes value. I dropped out of an entire game, Yu-Gi-Oh Duel, because they made something that was super difficult to get from random boosters into an easy to get card in the form of a starter pack. The game had many faults already, much like every tcg and ccg out there, but this tipped me over the edge of continuing with it. I felt ripped off having had to pay so much money for boosters for a chance to get it.
I'm actually glad it did make me quit as the money funneled into that gave other games an opportunity to be explored, and this tcg is now an even bigger mess than it started out as. Definitely not fond of needing a magnifying glass to read the text on those cards.
Must be nice being able to play board games frequently. I have a few, but most don't play well 2 players so I need to wait for others to be willing to put aside half a day for a board gaming day. Half a day due to the distance I need to travel to get to them.
I see there's someone that jumps into your videos just to thumbs down them. Looks like you are already famous XD
Its stuff like seeing videos of you with your daughter that makes this channel feel more like a community then a heartless business.
Really looking forward to the new gamefound games!! Thanks for the updates Alex
Really enjoyed this one, thanks. Didn't know about cmon and miniature market. I also had a great laugh when you switched from Everdell to "I'm not giving up on the couch"! 😂😂👍
Daaaamn Randolph, new setup is epic!!! Video and sound quality is amazing!
Perhaps keep the couch for discussion vids?
Hi … Sorry for what may be an obvious question, but what do the initials 'IP' stand for?
Liking the new setup Alex, and those lights are sweet. I actually have the exact same led-strips (I recognized the remote control :-)) mounted behind my tv, so that I can change color scheme depending on what we are watching.
No mention of bloodstone in your news segment?
Those lights are gorgeous ! Would you happen to have a link to it ? 🙂
Other than that, I like the idea of IP vs Non-Ip. Should be very interesting. And you're right about giving priority to your family
Orange light was my preference.
You might want to consider spreading out when you upload videos. I think there is something built into the YouTube algorithm for when you upload more than three videos a day, that it will stop recommending and alerting people to your videos. I only recommended this, the review with your daughter and the that's pretty clever video on Saturday. I really like your content and just want more people to be able to see what you are working hard to put out. Keep up the good work.
I'm going to miss the couch. 🙁
Hi Alex, love the channel. Do you know when the miniature market cmon sale is happening, and if they have the marvel United Kickstarter exclusives on there? These eBay prices on the ultimate pledge are outrageous right now.
You teased us with Everdell but no release date? That’s cruel xD
