What? Sarcasm? Humor? Some actual criticism of a small portion of the ridiculous bs that abides in the boardgame and/or crowdfunding space? I think I love you. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Excellent work.

Once again Chris you have out done yourself! The RABies are truly one of my most anticipated videos of the year. Although it has taken away from my time to play all my campaign games in 2024…

Chris George, you magnificent man. This was a genuine joy to watch! I’m sad to have missed the voting, but Voidfall’s dual wins makes up for the brutal personal attack I felt for backing Spirit Fire! And I already can’t wait for the next appearance from the Ballad Boyeezzzz

Heat is so freaking good. I’m excited for the expansion next month. On another note, Hidden Ark reached out to me and personally gave me my tracking info because I was worried about it so that guy has a HUGE amount of my respect. Also excited for the expansion for that one, but I’d like to play the base game before I back it.

Chris what are you doing playing board games?! You should be on tour with Beyonce! You made her version look like the Jonas Brothers! I didn't know such talent existed on this planet. You truly have the voice of an angel. An obscenely handsome and powerful angel.

This is astounding. And frightening. I have a lot of questions. Mostly I question how I spend my time. I'm quitting my life coach and using your videos as a template for successful daily living.

@c.w.2000 6 ай бұрын

How could you do that to a Sarah McLachlan song? Are you sure you’re Canadian? I’m going to listen to one of her albums just to cleanse my ear drums. 😀 Edit: I just watched what you did to a Beyoncé song, and you definitely are Canadian. As someone who watched a lot of CBC in the 80s and 90s, there was something very familiar about the sensibility behind this.

@RoomandBoardReviews 6 ай бұрын

Haha Sarah McLauchlan's wasn't even recognized by KZfaq I was worried it was such a good cover they would get confused!

Yeah dang, but hey at least it can still qualify as local haha. 401 games and board game bliss are my two for Canada but that's because they're located in Toronto where I am. Not sure about their international shipping either

@rothanarae 6 ай бұрын

True, I think I saw 401 ships only to Canada and the US when I first found them. I almost wish 401 Games and Board Game Bliss didn't have such good prices because I'd rather buy from my local shops, but the savings on the prices and shipping if I buy a few games at once add up to a pretty penny, enough to equate to being able to buy another game!

Honestly, this video sucks. It makes all the other board game videos look like total utter crap, the music video break, the acting, the emotion, the sexyness. This video makes all the other board game videos look like total childsplay. Why would YOU DO THIS TO THEM. WHY WOULD YOU MAKE SUCH A MASTERPIECE, JUST TO WATCH EVERYONE ELSE BURN. Excited for the RABbies 2024.
