Quotes (from this video)
  • The good people over at asthma D Canada have furnished me with a copy of dice Forge rebel lion
  • If you watched any of my videos you know that I'm a bit of an art snob and this game just just fits right in the pocket of what I love
  • Dice Forge is like having a very good-looking prom date so it's a person who looks amazing on your arm you don't really want to have conversations with people with that person because the moment that person opens their mouth it's like no you're you're just here for the eye candy
  • It's it's it's a pleasant game it's a reasonable way to spend the time it's not especially deep is all that I'm saying
  • I held out great hope that when the expansion finally came to light it might add a little bit of that depth or complexity or think enos that I was hoping for
  • I almost prefer a game to prescribe the experience for me
  • The instruction booklet for the original was a little bit hairy I gotta say tons of tiny little icons everywhere and it looks really overwhelming for what really isn't that much of a complicated game
  • It's just weird channel to watch right I got how to play videos where it's like I'm the most knowledgeable dude about this then I've got unboxing videos or it's like I have no idea what's going on kind of a mixed message in the brand
  • Goddesses and Titans
