Kickstarter is evolving. It is wonderful that you took the criticism to heart and didn’t give up. Speaks miles to the person that you are. Tip my hat.

[Nemspy]

Kickstarter segment a massive improvement this week. Getting rid of the headset mic and toning down the voice affectation were big wins.

[PeakYourInterest]

Oh, that Matthew Jude. I tell you what- out of all the people in boardgame media, he's definitely one of them.

[raymyers]

I want to highly recommend Mike & Dan's podcast "Sporadically Board"...especially if you have been in the hobby for a bit. They talk about things that have probably crossed your mind a time or two within the hobby along with games. They are absolutely hilarious and their guests have all been great. There is a handful of episodes right now and I hope many more to come!

[jackjohn]

Really nice to see the "QVC" feel of the Kickstarter segment fixed. Great Job!
Edit: The new kickstarter segment was already a great addition to the production. The "QVC" feel was just distracting and it's now even better.

No Enemies Here is a great part of Breakfast. It adds such different content from the popular games, and I really enjoy it.

[Tia]

I love the gaming with people segment! It’s so nice seeing other gamers with small children! Lloyd is awesome!! I want to give him a big hug so bad 😂. Thanks for sharing and your hard work to make those segments happen! 💕

[douglasoshea]

lol I can't get enough of Gaming with the People. I was so sad I couldn't back Yang Garden! It looks amazing.

[philipmoser]

*Gaming with the People* - Hilarious segment and great videography!

*Matthew Jude* - Carrying the TGIB comedy load in recent weeks with Bing Bongs in absentia

[alicia]

Whoa, that Five Tribes math! Also, loved the Essen clips. We were there all day Saturday and missed so many things!

[Rivercat]

I was fully expecting Mike DiLisio to hold up Mansions of Madness 2ed.

Great costumes in the Gaming with the People segment.

[Daegilouze]

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is a incredible tv show (only 6 episodes)! The quality of the production and the actors are formidable! Loved it!

[moniquehansford]

@The Theme Is... I am looking forward to hearing about your essen games and thank you for sharing with us :)

Thanks everyone :D

[Coastercinder]

That ending sounded like the return of the creepy mannequin they did a while ago.

Great show as always! It was great to see you at Essen, even though we didn't have a chance to chat.

[DanielMinottoII]

Board gaming with People, you are knocking it out of the park! Great spot!

[ralphgraichen]

Greatly enjoyed the show at Essen, dropping by your booth and have a short chat with everyone!

[MegaMeeple]

It was only a matter of time til Jenn and I covered the same game. 😆

[rawkyle]

Mike, I love the idea that my copy of Discover Unknown is the only copy in the world like it. I also really like the survival theme. Both of those were enough for me to buy it, and I’m looking forward to my first play through.

[chrishenderson]

Yes, I was paused, Tom - super cool that you hit 250 episodes...here's to 250 more!

[MrKeller]

Mike, would love to see you do an update video after you play another copy of the game. To see how the experience differed, if at all.
