Quotes (from this video)
  • I want to play real board games like Alchemists because I need cardboard
  • I love the smell of cards I love shuffling cards I hear the sound so fun ABS no they will destroy
  • I need my D I love rolling those D yes that's what I need
  • I appreciate when they help with record keeping and rules like they do in Golem ARCA for instance
  • we love it now but getting to know the game was almost painful
  • I'm afraid that more Publishers will choose the easy way out and Implement apps into board games instead of adding components for a particular mechanic because it's easier to sell an app Than Physical components
  • I would say yes but for a short time
  • The Omega virus this is a 1992 Milton Bradley Mass Market game this is a cool digital board game it's got a simple AI that kind of keeps track of room numbers and you got to go chase down this virus and pick up gear and things like that but this game this is all encompassed in the device the game is itself so if this electronic device dies and it breaks for whatever reason I'm done I have no way to play this game anymore
  • Technology advances so fast that what works now may be completely obsolete in several years
  • I spend the majority of my working life dealing with a computer and really don't want to do it when I'm gaming
  • I have to say I draw the line in my board games that's the one time where you need to sit down with your family or your friends and just you know just be analog
  • it's personal preference it's what you're looking for in the hobby it's what you want to get out of the activity
