Quotes (from this video)
  • Gosh darn, it feels good to be filming a video in my studio.
  • Any games I picked up at UKGE were going to be traveling on five planes to get back to where I need and you can't just check a bag because it would have reduced the amount of trips from five down to three cuz you have to transfer your check bags when you're entering the US anyway.
  • So, that's just way too much to justify bringing home a lot of things.
  • This was an easy one to pick up because I love four shuffle.
  • I liked the game, but I don't keep print and plays in my collection.
  • I have basically everything Dice Throne to date, I believe.
  • It's the game I'm most excited about.
  • The guy's like, 'No, it's a prototype. We can't sell it to you.' He's like, 'I don't care. There's a misprint here.'
  • So, I got my hands on some Bunny Kingdom.
  • And they were like, 'No.' They're like, 'No, it has not sold well enough to justify another expansion.'
  • Oh. Oh. Oh, I'm excited for this one.
