Quotes (from this video)
- Got me under pressure.
- I know you are dealing with a complete incompetent co-host.
- It's like when you get stuck into one genre of music to expand your horizons and listen to different things and realized there's a lot of good stuff out there.
- It's not like we're trashing the system we're just saying that if you've never played any RPGs you're gonna have a bit of a learning curve here if you have played there's still a little bit of a learning curve just causes a little bit of the confusion over I think it's I think is a decent beginner box.
- I'm kidding people getting no he's not actually I actually just want side note here we've had to do this a couple times where we've had things that we want to ship and we can only ship to the US and people who are outside the US I mean that stings I can't participate.
- The game can end very quickly because somebody just gets a spectacular turn where they complete reduced everybody to zero health which should give you four victory points and then complete all achievements which would potentially give the other five to win you the game.
