Ha! At the end when you said if we wanted to see "EVIL artificial intelligence take complete control" I thought you were going to make a joke about either Paula or Rodney since they were on the thumbnail link to the video. Was only slightly disappointed...

Love the idea of a new run for Acquire. I have my original 1976 Avalon Hill edition. Yeah, I'm old. But will definitely be interested in picking up a new deluxified version if that's what Renegade is doing. Great video as always. Really appreciate the content and the humor.

Really looking forward to Expeditions! I never expect lightning to strike twice since normally when there’s a follow up to something I love I usually end up being the only one on the internet that likes it (seriously, I thought the Hobbit movies were fun and loved Rings of Power)… but I just love the idea of a new game in the Scythe universe that lets me focus more solely on exploration.

Of course it seems the dialogue kinda soured on Scythe before I got into games too since I basically couldn’t talk about it on Reddit without being told I had bad taste, but I don’t go to Reddit or BGG anymore so I’ll just enjoy looking forward to Expeditions in my innocence!

"Basketballmen" enters my lexicon today.

I had never heard of the Battle of Versailles. I would love love love to find this game! This looks GREAT!!!!

They need to make a Cricket Highlights game, a five day test match could rival Twilight Imperium for game length.

I don't see any reason to not make another Acquire with good components. They already did this game many many times, and some of them have premium looks, while others have a lower price point in mind (at least, that's the only reason I could think for producing it with no premium quality feel).

Umm... I want the tunguska video please.

In the context of Deaf Cells, what does Rogue-lite mean?

Glad to see the artwork for Istanbul Choose & Write includes a woman (at least the cover). Female representation was totally omitted from the original, which is wrong on so many levels. Istanbul is one of my favorite games otherwise and I look forward to learning more about this incarnation.
