Great editing by 2 player showdown this week!

Loved Berzerk the video game. Never knew there was a board game.

[claire]

Thanks all contributors - enjoyed the episode.

[EldritchBones]

Posthuman sounds cool. wouldn't think a board game could be like a roguelike

[welshpoolcommunitychurch]

I have Berzerk, but with different box art and the human has a different shooting action

[KabukiKid]

Berzerk! "Intruder alert! Intruder alert! The humanoid must not escape!" :-)

[gamera]

The Teachers Lounge's Chris' voice is great. It creates an ASMR effect. This guy should get into audio work like Eric Summerer.

[danmanning]

I have that green dinosaur in my art room.

[dpotter]

@Chris from the Teachers' Lounge: Your voice is amazing.

Love XIA! Thx Mark for doing your segment on it and keeping it in the conversation. Those inserts painted in the XIA colors are great!

[OhHaiMe]

I think Anna had the best picks for the topic after Adrenaline, Also I didn't recognize her without her glasses.

[sischu]

I was just reading Reading Player One, and now your video 😂
Great.

[MeepleOverboard]

Ha! Really enjoyed Life of a Board Gamer segment. Great Stealth shots, and Deadpool painting. I can't imagine Deadpool being quiet and sneaky very well.

[Atticus]

@meepleoverboard, great segment on Adrenaline. you sound like a professional voice actor, especially when reading the cover text. Awesome work!

[billcook]

Oh, man I want to play that Berzerk game. But you know whoever is playing Evil Otto will continually be going "The Humanoid must not escape. Got the humanoid, got the intruder" etc.

[twarnken]

Berserk was my favorite video game when I was in college.

[jackjohn]

Why does the kid from the gizmo chooses segment not recommend IA at 5 players? Isn't that the best play count with the campaign so that you have the overlord and every player can control a hero?

[Funsickled]

Thinking Inside the Box, bout that Xia insert. It definitely requires painting with metal steel or some other more space Sci-fi looking type colors to make it fully fit the theme. The Xia colors are cool too. Docking stations for space ships don't look good in plain plywood color.

[undersci]

Super Motherload is my favorite in this genre. I irritate opponents by playing the Dig Dug theme on my phone during their turns.

[Zeenordnihon]

Is the "Guess the Game Covers" song a generic one, or created specifically for the Board Game Blender? If it is generic, can someone write the name or how I can find it? I really like that song and would like to listen more. Thanks.
