Why are u not looking into the camera?
FireFly was fucking awesome.
In all seriousness I want to see you play it, with your brother, Linkara – who ever
0 and just to NERD it up some more a Warhammer equivalent as well, which I am sure you own seeing as you worked in a games store.
Hmm I really am so disappointed that you hate Buffy and Angel, and now that I think about it, you tend to like everything I hate, and despise everything I like.
So really that’s a testament to how entertaining your videos are, that I’m willing to watch despite not really agreeing with anything you ever say.
The Battlestar Galactica game sounds a lot like Paranoia. Or maybe Werewolf.
Both are good.
Have you seen Doctor Horrible? That was good.
You’ve managed to keep my attention for around an hour and a half without be having a clue what you’re talking about. That takes talent.
Spoony, if you like Cooperative Board games that are not balanaced towards the good guys, check out Arkham Horror by Fantasy Flight Games. A Cooperative board game with CTHULU set in the 1920s. My group had a memorable experience where the Gangster, the Nun(with a Tommy Gun), the Psychiatrist and the Dilettante gunned down Yog-Shtohoth, or whatever his name is.
Dune: The Board Game.
At Duncan #344
…. The Dice must roll.
I can’t tell you how much I agree with you on Buffy. Oh my god, I seem to be the only one in my circle of friends here in town who can’t stand that show. Whedon has done nothing I’ve liked, outside of Firefly. What makes it even worse is that Jillian is not only obsessed with Buffy, but more specifically the damn musical episode AND that Dr. Horrible thing Whedon directed. She has a DVD of just those two things, which, I am not exaggerating, she plays on a continuous loop all throughout the week (mostly when I’m not home, thank Christ.)
Great vlogs, Spoony. I, for one, would love to watch a game of Battlestar. It probably isn’t necessary to mention that, but just for added incentive, you’ll definitely have some avid fans watching the game.
And the fans have spoken.
We must see a Lets Play of the Battlestar board game.
I’d like to hear Spoony’s take on Arkham Horror as well!
your quite funny in this one, its like you drank a gallon of coffee. TURBO MODE
you need to play that game for us Spoony!
I never even watched Buffy to begin with
You hate Buffy. I love you. Granted I heart Joss to death, but somehow your dislike of his work humors me, I know, weird.
The Battlestar game sounds very similar to Shadows over Camelot with the whole traitor accusing thing and all that.
Sorry for the double post, but Spoony you should do more of these… .they’re a lot of fun.
I know you did a text review but I’d be interested in hearing why you disliked Battlestar Galactica.
You said you don’t like most of Joss Whedon’s stuff, but did you see Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog?
Seriously, I’m on to you, Spoony.
I have the BSG game, it’s really good and alot of fun. Definately one of the best boardgames I’ve ever played. You don’t really need to be a fan of the Tv-series in order to enjoy playing the game. If you are unfamiliar with the Tv-series some of the subtleties about the characters and crises will be lost on you, but you’d still be able to get enjoyment out of the game and play it to it’s fullest.
@HughesDePayens: Yes, this is a comparison I’ve heard alot of people make. I’ve never played SoC, but I’ve heard that BSG is better than SoC. If you liked SoC then BSG is definately a game to check out.
Looking forward to you filming one of the board games!
@Razorgeist
Read the text review, he is quite specific in how badly the show sucks.
Buffy’s cool. Longest running show not to totally bore out, although a bit girlishly. And really, when do you find the time to play SO friggin much? You are TEH original nerd!
Hater of Buffy Angel and BSG? Dude you just lost some brownie points lol.
Hated Buffy the first time I saw it so I gave up on it, later ended up seeing Firefly on DVD and loved it, then started watching season 5 of Angel and ended up really enjoying it too. And then it got canceled, so I went back and watched the previous stuff I missed all, liked Angel except the god awful 4th season but still hated Buffy. Whedon I like but Sarah Michelle Gellar makes me want to punch babies. In the soul. I’d try watching Dollhouse but every time I start watching a new show it gets canceled.
did u hate BSG from the beginning? I liked the first couple of seasons but the last season and a half weren’t that good.
On BSG There called Skin jobs not toasters Spoonye
I have to agree with the other comments. I wasn’t a Buffy fan (and I never watched Firefly or Serenity), but I did find that Dr. Horrible was amusing.
For that matter, I didn’t watch BSG either. It actually seems like something I’d like, as the little bit I have seen makes it seem like an epic space drama, sort of like Babylon 5 except darker and with more modern CGI. It would be interesting to hear why Spoony hates BSG (and Buffy).
BSG, as mentioned elsewhere was just not that good. I’d love to see a video version of the text review, especially updated to include the ending. What I’d be really interested in is why Noah goes as far as say he hates Buffy. Sure it had it’s bad parts but all in all there was more than enough good bits to enjoy.
As for D&D, I’ve never found enough people to play with to get interested. I did, for a time, play Warhammer 40K and Warhammer Quest with one or two friends but the dice didn’t like me. Honestly I once rolled seven 1’s in a turn, on three separate dice. I even played a game where I out numbered my friend around three to one and lost. People wouldn’t be on my side because I had such rotten luck.
Dude, you totally should get some people together for that Battlestar game and record it. I’m really curious to see what it’s like now, and you’re always entertaining to watch.
Maybe you can get The Nerd to play with you, and he can do a Board James about it, too! A two-fer!
Hey, I have that game! It’s pretty sweet.
After finding out that you hate most of Joss Whedon’s stuff, though, I’ll have you know you made my soul cry.
Can’t wait to see you guys playing Galactica. I’ve always wanted to see how games like that work, but never got the chance.
I’d love to see you guys play some D&D. Or maybe revisit DragonStrike and show us how it’s really done (unlike that notorious video).
Someone already mentioned this, but it deserves a second mention: Arkham Horror is really fun, though the good guys can get REALLY screwed on some scenarios, or if the cards don’t like you.
I didn’t know the Buffy Board game would be good, I’ve seen it a couple times in the past around the time my town had a Toys R Us. Anyway There was a point in my life when me and my family use to watch Buffy and Angel Alot, but as I got older I started to see that whenever the major plot started to pick-up in both shows it would begin to get progressively depressing and kept repeating itself. (esspecially all the romance sub-plots that fuck up somehow in both shows.) Is Joss Whedon Trying to Convey a Message that Monsters and Magic are real but Long Lasting Romance and Relationships are short lived and Often Non-Existant? I wonder that sometimes.

@61:
Do I smell a Spoony & Snob review of Buffy? Now THAT would be awesome!
Spoony, what the fuck. Why do I wanna see you play the fucking Battlestar Galactica board game?
Because I do. But why do I? :[ I never thought I’d wanna watch an LP of a board game.
Mmmkay. If you think the Battlestar Galactica board game is good, you need to try out Were-Wolves. I’t pretty much the same concept only cheaper. You really do need to take a look at it.
Spoony,
So where’s the sign up sheet for the BSG game? Not only do I wanna see the game played, but I wanna trade snark with my old “friend.” (But he won’t acknowledge me =P )
And I’d like to think that I had some hand in Spoony’s ability to keep people’s attention for hours on end with them having nary a clue about what he’s speaking of. But I’m kinda debating if he was listening in seeing as he can’t return an e-mail in six years =P. Was the whole hey how are you conversation in Game Daze a sales pitch =?
Nah, I’m just picking on you… and if your viewers have to ask why they wanna see an LP of a board game w/ teh Spoony One. Maybe they haven’t been paying attention or they’ve never seen a snark inferno of a D&D game.
Is it just me, or does it seem like the Battlestar Galactica game would be great if there was one like it for The Thing (Unless there already is)
But really, you should try it; maybe with your brother and Linkara and some other people, it would be pretty cool
Spoony how can you hate the show, not cool man. The game sounds cool though, too bad I don’t know anyone who would play it with me though.
I’ll have to check out the BSG game…I’ve almost picked it up several times. The problem with my gaming is that I can’t find other players–this goes for DnD too. Thus, I end up playing console RPGs by myself…sigh.
Anyway, thanks for the vlogs…always entertaining.
That BSG board game sounds awesome!
I would love to see a video of you guys playing that BSG game. It’d be awesome. xD
Agreed, the Battlestar Gallactica boardgame is frakkin’ awesome (sorry). The Buffy game looks pretty decent as well.
I for one would definitely like to see you do more boardgame related stuff.
WOOT spoony this is friggen awsome so menny vids of you just talking XWX no rly i meen it its awsome it made up 4 me haveing such a bad day 2 just lisin 2 some one talk abt cool things 4 along time ^W^ i think this is why your my fav reviewer well that and we have just abt the same likes n dislikes … + your super hotness X3
