Going Cardboard: A Documentary

mercutiom — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 15:23:25 +0000

So I was bouncing around on Kickstarter today and I came across this project on funding a documentary about board gamers, their collections, and their lives. The video, thus far, is embedded below.

It looks like they’re completely funded, and already into post-production with over 60 hours of HD video to be edited and posted together in the final project.

More on the project can be found at their site: Going Cardboard. We’d like to wish Lorien Green luck on the project, and please let us know when the film is complete and where our fans, and us of course, can see it in its entirety.

WElcome back folks. I told you that you’d be seeing more of us. REcently youtube upped their maximum time limit for videos from ten minutes to fifteen minutes. This means that there are a couple of videos that didn’t make the time cut before, that I can now post.

Mark and I recorded this video for Tobago back in the spring in AZ. It’s a great explanation of the rules and it’s a game I really like. I hope you enjoy the video.

Wow! We’ve been gone for a long time. I know that all of you have been crying yourselves to sleep wondering when we were going to post a new review, and we’re here.

We just moved to Colorado this year and bought our first house. we’re finally settled ina nd have been inspired to start making videos again.

Enjoy this newest review of a game we really like called Jet Set. It’s great to be back and we’ll keep em coming if you keep watching.

Mousetrap Never Works

mercutiom — Tue, 04 May 2010 23:15:02 +0000

We’ve all played the game “Mousetrap” at some point in our lives. For me it was one of those games my friends had, but my parents never bought for me and my brothers.

A good thing too as, if I remember, we always had the problem that the darn thing never really lived up to the hype. Well, someone has taken the frustration you and I felt as children and put that to song.

The song is a parody of the recent OK Go song “This Too Shall Pass” in which they created a rather large and complicated Rube Goldberg machine. Their’s, however, did actually work.

Gaming Can Make A Better World

I’m a big fan of the TED conference and the talks that come out of it. Today I was catching up on some of the more recent ones and this video struck a particular chord that I thought should be shared with the community here.

I think it’s important that we take whatever strides we can to change the world for the better, regardless of what your version of better is. I find it interesting that someone is out there studying how online games can lead us to that future.

So, while I don’t play WoW (as I’ve mentioned before) I think there’s more to this than that simple forum. I think that those of us who love and enjoy games are better suited to helping the world because we’re used to working together and socializing in ways that will allow us to make the changes necessary.

Episode 022: Tichu

Gordon1018 — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:23:11 +0000

Not often do you find a game that is so universally loved by your gaming group and family that you actually wear copies of it out. I found this game in Tichu. I grew up as early as 8 years old playing Pinochle, so I have a long-time attraction towards trick-taking games. I had read about and heard about this game numerous times online, but had never got the opportunity to play it. I even bought a copy on Funagain.com during their fall clearance sale. Too bad the rule book was in German.

When my wife and I got to Dallas for BGG.con the forst game that we were asked if wanted to Learn was Tichu. It was love at first “bomb”. We literally cannot get a group of people together without someone asking if we can play it.

Enjoy our video. IT was tough to get all the info into less than ten minutes, so if you have questions or comments we’d love to hear from you. We love this game, and I’m sure you would also if get the opportunity to play.

World Of Wifecraft

mercutiom — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 02:58:41 +0000

While I’ve never played World of Warcraft (the closest I’ve gotten was the Leroy Jenkins video) I thought this was worth sharing. What if the addicting MMORPG were a real-life game with the goal of being a better husband?

BGG.con 2009 Final wrap up part

Gordon1018 — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 00:21:49 +0000

Here’s the final part of the three part series about our BGG.con 2009 experience. WE just got back froma weekend of gaming and I played a whole bunch of new stuff, so you’ll be hearing from me a lot very soon. In the “REad the rest of the entry” area I’v also re-embedded the other two parts for those of you who wish to watch from the beginning. Thanks a lot for watching.

D&D Players, Watch This

mercutiom — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 02:32:42 +0000

I’ve never really played D&D, but as a gamer, I’ve definitely seen it played, and have been involved in a few of the typical conversations (read: arguments) that surround a typical run-through. If you’ve played the game, or are like me and know what’s involved, then you have to watch this movie.

While the film didn’t have the high budget that I personally believe it deserved, it was still amazingly well put together. The characters were impressively in depth, and the dialog is almost as quotable as “The Princess Bride” (likely the most quotable movie ever.)

I’m not going to go into depth on what the movie is about, but if you have a Netflix account or video store nearby, go watch it now. If you’re not tearing up with laughter by the end, then you should head to the doctor to have your sense-of-humor repaired.

wrap up- video part 2

Gordon1018 — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 05:26:57 +0000

Here’s the continuation of the Stevenson’s BGG.con saga. Hope you’re enjoying the videos so far.

Leave comments. We’d love to hear from you and if there are any games we talk about in this video you’d like to hear more about, let us know and we’ll do a bigger review in the future.

Thanks for wattching, tell your friends
