Thanks Tom for including my clip; looking forward to future Game Room segments! -Carry On!!!

[Negatrev]

I loved the 'listening to other music' bit from Chaz :)

[shawnmitkowski]

Love the new segment on Game Rooms, Can't wait to see more!

[MathieuVIII]

Nick, your sarcasm is great. Never stop doing it. :D

[NicholasLA]

Chaz, as soon as I saw your "Good Charlotte Game" I knew EXACTLY where you were going. So yeah... I'll admit I listened to them back in the day.

[Madbonna]

Nice comparison reference Chaz, love it!

[LuisMontes]

Chaz's segment is getting better each episode. Wasn't a fan of it early on, but dude is seriously honing his craft. Good stuff, sir.

[davidcurtiswatts]

Very much like battling brushes and the week in review. Top marks for those, boys.

[Fiurilli]

Oh wauw Chaz, I do not have a Good Charlotte game, but I did have the same experience with Good Charlotte itself.

[LeoLewis]

Great enthusiasm on Best and Worst. Keep it up!

[andrewclark]

Chaz, you continue to be my favorite segment on the show. Can't say I ever listened to Good Charlotte, though. Perhaps a lot of My Chemical Romance in my past counts.

So that said, my Good Charlotte Game would be Smallworld. I genuinely like it, but I'm never in the mood to play it, and I can't think of a reason it went from a game I was clamoring to play to something that sits on my shelf.

[DavidLandonCole]

I think my Good Charlotte game would be Catan. I would still play it, but it doesn't hit the table very often while it used to be out every week. Oh, and I listened to Good Charlotte. Haven't for a while, mind - time to look for them on YouTube.

[bushbrianw]

I'd like to commend Chaz for admitting he used to like Gold Charlotte. That took ALOT of courage... :D

[prufrock]

Chaz, I am the exact same way about LoW. It was so exciting, and I would still play it...if I were ever in the mood.It is a great game...but there are so many other great games...I'd trade it away, but even my mom likes to play it!

Whitleypedia, thank you for going back into examining the stats! I love listening to that kind of stuff. I totally agree with the BGA effect.

[CriticalEatsJapan]

OK, I get it, you like hats.  But that chef hat...  You better be wearing a sombrero in the next one... ;)

[platinump]

Good q&a this breakfast! I hope it helped the person who is designing the game.

[thewhitehindu]

My Good Charlotte game is Pirates of the Spanish Main. Eight years ago I was totally obsessed. I thought about fleet configurations all the time. Then one day I was just done. I've tried to go back and play again but I just cannot get into it!

[A.L.E.X.]

Thanks for answering my question guys ... I'll stick to my guns and follow my heart :) Cheers!

[garesonc]

Tom, Based on my understanding of the game subscription services being discussed...I am with you 100%.  The boardgame market is saturated with awesome options right now....the idea of a "stream"(as you say) of random games seems silly to me when I can't quite keep up with purchasing the games that I know about that I want to buy. Great "Tom Thinks" segment.

[MrNoelJMIS]

Tom! Naturebox snack subscription is really cool. I love snacking, and it's good to have things that aren't cookies or greasy chips. :)
