That sleepover joke just brought on a wave of nostalgia

Some thoughts: - Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes might also work for these criteria. - Games with bad downtime issues (like Super Mario Party) are great when you have friends over and also happen to have, like, a pizza on the table, so you can snack until your turn comes up. - Heave Ho and Unrailed are two of my favourite party games that not enough people talk about. I just wanted to say that out loud. - We are legally family, apparently. sorry.

I really like speedrunners but it has the same problem smash does to where when one person gets "too good" the other players aren't really allow to play the game. But when they are allowed, this game is such a blast

I like how you make your mascot move like an actual bird. Only thing better would be to make him do a little bouce

I just realized how truly amazing this channel is. Probably one of my favorites rn

That last section about Jackbox hit really weird... He disapproved of Party Packs 8 & 9 and the Quiplash series, but worded it like they were fandom-wide opinions. Jay is the first human I've heard say they dislike Quiplash.

I love the way you come up with genre guidelines that creates the perfect game and then follow through with not only great suggestions, but one that mets all the criteria. If anyone asks where all my money went, I'm going to point at my game library and then you.

5:55 If you think there's no skill gap in Ultimate Chicken and Horse you haven't played with non-gamers lol Tried to play with my sister and my parents and they struggled just to run and jump at the same time. My brother and I either had to sandbag which woukd be obvious and make the others feel bad, only be competitive with each other, or dominate completely. Was not fun. It's casual gamers and up only

Dude, I did not expect for that link to actually work! That's some awsome dedication to perfecting your video! Hats off

The Ds was suprisingly good for multiplayer. All you needed was one game cartridge and DS downplay.

Skill gap absolutely matters in UCH. I first tried playing it with work colleagues and there was no contest since I play platformers regularly.

This is kind of why the nintendo DS was the golden age for party games. That download play option so many games had was amazing. Ofc you need to be local, but the amount of hours I played mario kart, mario bros and mario 64 multiplayer with my brother and sister is crazy

8:43 there is no way he just said no one likes quiplash

the sound of the WII just hit me with so much nostalgia wtf

A few nights ago I was invited to come play JackBox with a few people on my college campus. It was the most fun I’ve had playing a game ever. Tee K.O was my favorite. All the insane drawings and quote combos really had me crying laughing

Counter point: the Cards Against Humanity issue. Most Jackbox games require you to perform and then be judged, which adds a lot of pressure and can alienate people. With close friends, it's not that big of an issue, but if you have a few (or even one!) Person who's weirder/edgier than everyone else, the whole party's vibe is off.

7:00 First time I'm happy I live in central because I swear to god every game developer forgets we exist and we get stuck on eastern or western servers

"Sleep until we finish monopoly" you don't finish monopoly, monopoly finishes you

"Stop re-releasing games that nobody likes" >shows quiplash 3 Easily the worst take I've heard on this channel

@2:04 Me sitting in Terraria with over 5,000 hours wondering where that time went.

Where was Gang Bests?

Pummel Party and Duck game are both really fun party games that me and my friends have played a bunch. Maybe worth checking out. Outside of Party games, me and my friends have also enjoyed playing roguelites/roguelikes together a lot, like Ember Knights, 20XX and Never Split the Party. We're always looking for more party games to play together, so any suggestions are welcome! (As long as they are not just local with no online support)

As a Jackbox enthusiast… That also has all party packs. I saw this coming from 5s into the video.

Every video you release has a funnier script and better delivery than the last, you are going to be huge someday soon mark my words

As a developer making a party game, this was very refreshing to watch.

Yessir stellarjay never disappoints shits boutta be fire🔥🔥

"I have to handicap myself harder than a twitter bio" SOMEONE GIVE THIS MAN A PRIZE

Love this take, agree 100% Good replacement for jackbox might be gartic phone, cuz it's free and people seem to get it a lot easier, also because of language barriers.

Man I love the Jay channels ❤

Having the hornet theme opening the video along with the bird’s rants is amazing

7:37 ... shit im down

Yo dude, just discovered this, you made me smile at least 10 times during this video, your weird crow sprite somehow works, the pace feels great and your meta humor is on point, keep it up, thank you

0:27 I'd recognize Nadeko's feet anywhere

Sorry bro moms said no

did you just insinuate that no one likes Quiplash?

8:11 at least Jackbox 9 is localized in my native language, which makes it way easier to convince my family to play it.

ultimate chicken horse better

8:08 other games that fulfill this criteria also includes gartic phone and King of the castle

The edititng, music and pacing for your format are amazing! Love all the little easter eggs.

I guess we are family now Stellar Jay i would like to be a Penguin though.

havent seen all of the video as of right now but just to let you know-jackbox is still an amazing party game to this day

I am in love with the jackbox series. But the fact that they never go back and update even the most minor things drops it from like an s-tier down to a b-tier. There's so many games where we'd go from playing them a few times or even not at all to playing them constantly if they just changed one thing. But they don't, whyyyy

I am SO glad you talked about SpeedRunners, I've been trying to get my friends to play it with me for YEARS. Even though you can't play it over for a long time, it's a ton of fun the first couple of rounds. I think it would work better if it were a minigame in a bigger party game.

I agree. I remember staying up playing a lot of these with my friends. I also remember the misery that is fucking around with Hamachi and telling myself the lag was worth the trouble. Jackbox is one of my go-to's for party games. I'm really looking forward to Dokapon Kingdom being re-released, too. Also, I just want to say, I love your use of Nichijou and Doki Doki tunes. It's the cherry on the sundae.

8:06 when your friends don’t even like jackbox besides you. They complain about the trivia being boring or outdated. Rarely even want to play. When they didn’t even buy the jackbox games, I bought them. Smh my head.

The suffering of wanting to play jackbox but hardly ever having multiple people over at my house

Really fun video (also very fun of you of getting me caramell'd); loved the shoutout to Ultimate Chicken Horse and Speedrunners as those two are goated party games (though I would have also mentioned Duck Game and Boomerang Fu). I have watched videos of people Jackbox and it looks mad fun with silly enough friends, though I'd have to figure out not only how (and when) to convince my friends to try these with me; the other barrier was language as it seems that only a handful of Jackbox games are officially translated to Spanish, but it seems that most of the Jackbox Part games are translated...so it is a matter of time on when :) Also, shoutouts to anything that can be played for free (online or not) for very obvious reasons, and also thought that you would make the fourth point before revealing it about netcode (I was guessing solely because of "The Nintendo Problem" and multiple locations mentioned looking like something leading up to netcode problems lol)

I love seeing speedrunners and crawl getting more attention. I love those games to death

I've noticed a lot of people mention the skill gap issue with Ultimate Chicken Horse but modifier settings also exist, plus you can change the points settings. I make it so bizarre with my friends that even I, a pretty good player, will tend to lose matches against them. The settings are there to make it a more even playing field lol

just found your channel. instantly knew you were talking about jackbox as the one game that fits all the criteria for a perfect party game AND heard about Ultimate Chicken Horse for the first time from this video. i bought it on impulse and plan to try it with some friends soon. fate has brought me here or something idk.

It's funny that you bring up board games at the beginning of the video because the way I see it, Jackbox, the game you say ticks all 4 boxes, plays like a digital board game

Bro the "you have to ask my mom" is way too relatable. That unlocked a core memory.

Ah yes, Mario party for n64, the grandfather of party games, humble, simple, the first of its kind. You can tell because my palms have been bleeding profusely the entire time I've been typing this.

I'm glad to see you mentioned some games I've played (Speedrunners, Ultimate Chicken Horse) however, 1. Ultimate chicken horse is on other platforms besides the switch (so you don't need a membership to online), and 2. Skill gaps do show up there which limits the fun, and sometimes it gets beyond just shifting score down (although not always, because an underdog can make a secondary route and with a higher percentage + underdog boost, spring back up to the front).

I love how 2:45 is the most replayed 💀

Ah Hamachi, the bane of all peer to peer relations

The fact that the friend link actually works and is not a generic rickroll makes me wish it was real even more Another banger video, glad i found your channel ^^

Just came across this absolute gem of a channel idk how you aren’t more popular

I was watching your wizard video today, now this drops. What a day to be alive.

you know, my thought was ain't no way this man makes a whole website for a seconds long bit in 7:10 of the video... but I decided to check anyway... first off, I am not going to spoil it, no it is not a rick roll, I am impressed but also seething with anger, and why would anyone do this much effort for 5 second bit! I also decided to check the site with inspect element, and tbh the most hanjous of crimes is the source to the video is from fucking discord out of all places

this may not be as"video game" as something like ultimate chicken horse, but jackbox has proven itself to be a long-standing entry in the list of party games that are most commonly played with me in the homies edit: holy shit 8:00 I called it

Ballsack caught me off guard at 1:36

KZfaq gave me a great recommendation this is a great video and a very good explanation on what Party Games are

the fact that he actually made the link work is gold

1:59 THE WAY I HOLLERED LMAOO

Just discovered this channel. Binge watching all the video rn. Quality vids

I’m sitting here trying to enjoy your video but hearing your constant banger background music choices just makes me think of what good taste you have

6:28 Not just you buddy, you're not alone...

Its gonna be jackbox im calling it now

lmao the sleepover part was like an exact quote of what I used to tell my friends all the time as a kid

This video was pretty funny! I also thought it brought up some good points :)

Never thought that being Caramell Dansened would be better than being Rick Rolled

just found this channel, and i'm having a blast. loving all your videos thus far. definitely gatekeeping newer fans when you get more popular.

Ayeee those hours struggling with Hamachi got the bois a Minecraft server back in the day! 💪🏽

The way the silhouette moves like a literal fidgety bird 😭

8:18 CHILE MENTIONED

currently sitting through carameldansen, I have absolute faith that there will be something worth it on the other side of this EDIT: Aaaaany second now EDIT EDIT: man somebody really looked at those face proportions and thought "yeah, that looks good." Song is still a banger though EDIT EDIT EDIT: anybody else realized that tiktok basically reinvented nightcore but with lofi and folk music

Killer video but it would have been nice to hear more about jackbox since I don't know it

The quiplash slander is crazy work my friend

TF you mean Ultimate Chicken Horse has no skill gap? I literally have to give myself 50% points or less because if not, the match is over in 5 rounds. I’ve been kicked off multiplayer servers for winning without giving everyone else a chance

I think ive spent more than 4 hours trying to figure out how hamachi and parsec work

it's the first time ive heard anyone else talk about speedrunners it's SO GOOD

I was waiting for him to say jackbox this entire time I love this game so much

Ultimate chicken horse skill gaps, not really People who have mastered the movement can make the level as hard as possible for others while still being able to finish it. Other players can make things easier but since all winners=no points they are lot more hesitant on making things easier than the good guy is on making things 10x harder. There is the comeback point bonus if you win, IF

Have you played Pummel Party? It is an indie version for Mario Party. Definitely needs more maps/boards but is solid

the longer i watched the more it felt like the ultimate party game was gonna be jackbox And it was Great video

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood music playing while you're talking about Mario Party is hilarious. Truly the philosophical question of our time.

WE ARE FAMIILY 🎶

one thing you didnt point out about speedrunners is that the skill ceiling is incredibly high for a party game. it kinda goes hand in hand with how you said the game isnt replayable because the game can become monotenous, but if that doesnt slow you down, you ruin the game for everyone else because you´re just innately faster than everyone else, either from experience of the map which may let you frontrun with minimal risk, or tech like tackles, fast falls, crate blocking, effective grapple use etc.

Bluejays gaming channel is really awesome. Great content

I just stumbled across this channel, but I just wanted to say that it is an absolute goldmine

As a Texan, I tried to visit your site, and I think it is bugged. All that was there was a video of the 3 most masculine men in Sweden. Please take down this European propaganda or at least put a content warning so that people are not subjected to Europe without their consent.

party games will stay lit with alcohol

...the music at 7:41 is so INTENSELY familiar but I cannot for the life of me remember what it's from. Please help. EDIT: Oh, hold on, I think I remembered - Celeste?

3:00 that background is from my favorite regular show episode

3:01 you...huh wanna tell us something ? i'm listening ( load shotgun )

Ultimate Chicken Horse absolutely has a skill gap problem. Make the level too hard for everyone but yourself. The only way for other players to stop you is to make the level impossible for everyone, but that just keeps you in the lead until the end of the game. This happened with me and the ones I tried to play the game with.

I'm just so surprised you nailed how people play said party games so perfectly.

bro you made me watch that caramell video all the way though and there wasn’t even anything at the end
