Quotes (from this video)
  • Because that's not the point of this video AT ALL.
  • So this is why i got a few new pieces of gear, because i'm able to do this stuff just talking right at you, and then if i want to switch cameras, check this out: i push a button...
  • If you'll allow me to suck at something, i really appreciate it.
  • The person who drove me to do all this is a fellow named Rahdo.
  • It enables him to do live to tape runthroughs with absolutely no editing, which is wonderful.
  • The interesting thing is... ..... DUHHHHHHH for, like, fifteen minutes!
  • So this is Scythe: The Wind Gambit, and a very... it makes me sad, because just before the pandemic hit, and everything was was shut down here in Ontario, i've been playing Scythe with my dear friends Derek and Emily, and we started into the Rise of Fenris campaign, which is a story-based campaign that you go through in steps, that you add to your Scythe game.
  • All it is, is - i think - just five or six different plastic airships, and i think a couple of cards that change the way the end of the game works.
  • So the airships can carry stuff around, and they can affect combat.
  • That's pretty cool.
  • It's pretty exciting.
  • More lovely artwork.
  • You know, one of the biggest reasons to buy this game, of course, is the artwork.
  • Unique faction ships, one mold.
  • Oh well.
  • That's fine.
  • i'm not too burned about that.
  • They're cool... they're cool, though.
  • i think that's a brilliant solution ,and i'm working on it!
  • It's coming!
  • So! Let me read this to you anyway.
  • Bombard: before you engage in combat on your airship' territory you may pay 1/2/3 resources from this airship to reduce your opponent's power by 1/2/3.
  • Xheck your dictionary, fellas!
  • Ryan sweats buckets when he's out of his comfort zone.
  • You guys made this fancy new gear possible.
  • i'm excited to keep using it, to get more stuff, and to do exciting new forms of content for you!
  • And i'm very excited to not have to edit this piece!
