Episode 4 - Claim your farts as a tax deduction
It's so rare for me to keep a schedule line this for so long.
This episode Mel talks about the dire state of RVing around New Zealand, we check if Wellington is actually the capital of New Zealand, and I mock their currency (as a joke - ours is only barely better).
We mention girth in a few different contexts this episode so please enjoy.

My Trainspotting Moment - Silent Hill 2 Remake

The tension is really ratcheting up and I if it weren't for the fact that I am recording this I would have definitely stopped playing by now. We get to revisit Angela, who's a bit nuts and can totally be trusted with a knife. As a gamer, I understand game design basics enough such that I lament being provided lots of ammo and healing pots. I also spend time complaining that there should be more...

It's a Pool Party - Silent Hill 2 Remake

While the controls are still fresh in my brain I thought it'd be a good idea to make a bit more progress, in the process enjoying someone throwing up into a toilet and a bunch of those spewing creatures having a party in a pool with a pram.

During the great PC reformat of November '24 I lost a single file: my most recent play through of Silent Hill 2. Fortunately, I could go back to a previous save and play it again and, because it's been so long, it's practically as if I am doing it with fresh eyes anyway. A side effect of this is that I once again have to relearn the controls, but oh well! I'm sure I won't need those healing pot...
Trying Out Ark Nova Digital (Early Access)

Direwolf Digital (www.direwolfdigital.com/) has released Early access on Steam for the Ark Nova Digital stand-alone app (store.steampowered.com/app/2438990/Ark_Nova/). I thought I'd give it a try as I play it quite a lot on Board Game Arena, and the implementation there is quite good. I'm not normally a fan of stand-alone digital adaptations of board games because of the buy-in cost, which is e...

After the OBS Demon killed my Storyteller recording, I thought this game might not be worth making a video for. Would it still be interesting? But I had an idea for a different take on a Player Perspective video, and this is the result. It's a little more mysterious than usual. Can you figure out what's going on? If you want to know everything that's on the script, pause the screen right after ...

After telling my nephew that this was my first Lego ever I got a call from my brother telling me I'm an idiot because we had Lego as kids. So, this is my first ever Lego KIT (we only ever had random hand-me-down left-overs). I only stuffed up three times while building this. Thankfully it wasn't too difficult to correct my mistakes.

We've got a double header in Ravenswood Bluff. First we meet the Vigormortis, but the star of the show is another character on the Sects & Violets script, that our group won't forget in a hurry. After that game reaches an early crescendo, we have time for another game. Aaron takes command of the Grimoire solo so that Michael can play his first game! As if that's not enough, we have two new memb...

The penultimate episode of season 2 is here and there are some major revelations inside. Donna is being Donna again, but will she win Miss Twin Peaks while smoking a cigarette? Who will Lucy choose to be the father of her child (which has already been conceived if you've forgotten)? Are we becoming sympathetic to Leo (No)? Did the Log Lady suddenly become more attractive?

They say two heads are better than one but so I gathered four. This is a whirlwind tour of coloured orbs, theories, and my thinking that I've missed something the whole time. This one went a bit long because we were so lost as to how to progress and I really didn't want to achieve nothing. In the end, I think we need help.

It comes across. That was entertaining. I like the bits where you say you're going to stop but are then forced to keep going to find the save point.
Yeah, there were a number of times where I was forced to continue by my pathetic getting blocked.
This play session is the most scared I've been playing this game so far and I'm worried about what's to come.
This is nerdforge making epic copies of the Brandon Sanderson books you mention Ben :)
ruclips.net/video/13coGQUp3ck/видео.htmlsi=QedFtP-R-p6RaGQJ
Thank you, I'll add it to the list 👍
Oh wow! Ben is so brilliant! 😂
Well, the internet is 😄
Huzzah!
Just something to maybe consider in later streams: Maybe show the script/rules at the side or link the script in the description. Otherwise I really like both, ST or player perspective.
Thank you for your feedback, I completely forgot about that as I was a player. This was a custom script full of experimental characters as it was our last game of the year.
Thank you. Yes I realised without the storyteller view we skip past the list of characters on the script very quickly. It was just something I threw together so I wasn't sure it needed a link, but I will add that! Thanks for the feedback.
I just wanted to clarify for Nelly that there is a difference between the Drunk role from Trouble Brewing and someone being drunk. In the context of this game they are still the role they've been told but could be receiving incorrect information.
I'm also still not sure people understood exactly what I was trying to clarify with the Judge timing. From the wiki: "The Judge may use their ability during or after the votes are tallied. However, once a new player has been nominated, then the Judge may only use their ability on this new nominee. The Judge may only use their ability once, and only if a different player made a nomination."
@MichaelDart I got that. It's a shame Arran didn't get to use his Judge ability.
@@the1benIf we'd had my footage you would have seen I verbally describe to Rizzo what the four available Outsiders are (because they weren't showing on his sheet -Judge, Thief, Bone Collector and Voudon). Then I say "Go away and have a read of those if you want and I'll come back to you shortly once you've decided." And he says "Nah I know what I want. Judge please."
@@MichaelDart My confusion was around the wording of 'the current execution' I thought it meant the player that was on the block, not the current execution nomination
Would you like more Player Perspective videos where you can try solve the game yourself? Or do you prefer to see behind the Grimoire?
Both are good I think sometimes it's really fun to watch as everyone has no idea. Sometimes from the ST perspective you sit there going it's so obvious But then seeing from the player side is an entirely different game
@@nidgetminjaI might need to consider for each video whether it would be more interesting to do it in a similar way. Or maybe all the storyteller interactions for the "known" characters from whoever the player perspective is from. Probably lots of things I could do.
The beard grew back quickly! :P
Also trusting Dan with the Philo sage claim. Could've been the Philosopher Snake Charmer that switched to the demon
@the1ben Manifesting the snake charm for Sian 🤣
I've unfortunately made a mistake with a character card that's not worth republishing the video for. Let's pretend it was an intentional treasure hunt!
I am too trusting, but that Sian is very suss.
@@the1ben wow. Accusing the EMPATH?!
I was looking forward to Nelly's evil game plan, until it all got snake charmed away lol. Dan played great in the second game.
@@DratVanity Dan saved the day!
I'm curious what people think of the footage regarding the second game if they weren't part of it. Given that we already had three confirmed Good viewpoints, was it still interesting to not out the other roles with my character graphics? I'm hoping there was still plenty of mystery in it. Or would it have been better to use the cards to display their actual roles, even if we as players didn't know them at the time? I know this was different than the usual Storyteller view, but hopefully it was interesting in another way.
In which I learn that telling half of my confirmed information is not as sneaky as I thought it was. Check the script first, Sian.
'Twas great! Player perspective videos are my favorite, especially from a good player's POV, so I can "play along". With the benefit of three players' perspective, I had the evil team narrowed down by the end (although I thought Dan might've been the spy).
@@Pumpuli_Excellent! I'd hoped that was the case. Thanks for The feedback. Makes me wonder how I'd handle it if one of the three of us taking video had received an evil role. It would take all the mystery out of it, but I'd probably want to use the footage. 🤔
@@MichaelDart I enjoyed it as well Was interesting to watch the different ways that people fill out the Grim, and spending more time from the players perspectives you get to see a bit more of their strategy.
That Lisa Wilkinson review was absolutely gold. I love it so much, that should have been the tagline on the posters.
I love it when someone really hates a thing and can explain why 😄
If you think there's something we should be talking about, or something we didn't talk about enough, feel free to leave a comment below and we will add it to the agenda. Like everything else on our agenda, no promises that we'll ever get to it.
What does a godfather do... says the godfather 😝
That was a brilliant piece of misdirection and along the lines of Oui's "I don't know what I'm doing"
I enjoy putting those edits together too.
Would you have liked to see Katie lean into the Goon and play both sides? What do you think Aaron would have done in the same situation?
Katie was terrified of becoming evil :D
This was a collection of not-my-finest-moment's.
At one point you say you've cleared Phil. You later say you suspect Phil and Sean. Then you have a conversation with him and seem to think he's ok again. Were you actually flipping around or just forgetting old info?
@MichaelDart yes ie, both
ok people, I think we might be stuck so advice is needed. Should I look it up or should I persevere?
no you sit your butt down and figure it out *whips Ben*
Great game, what a turnabout at the end, thought evil had it.
We thought we had it too.
3:01:31 hmmm That second game was very entertaining, I didn't know who was going to win in the end.
Hahaha. Hey, thanks for taking the time to say so. I'm glad other people are enjoying them.
Ben's gotten really good at this game (when he isn't just killed in the first day lol).
Thank you! I'm finally getting some credit 😄 I don't know what everyones problem is, it's almost as if they don't trust me.
I loved Nelly's confusion on getting woken up 😄
Yeah it was almost like she was still drowsy. 😂
As much as Oui always says he has no idea what he's doing all the time, he has things figured out more than I would have.
And Oui doesn't tell Shane that he's The Godfather 😄
When giving the Lunatic their bluffs Michael uses "there is a Lunatic in play" as a Gossip example - I lol'd
I knew Shane wouldn't have looked at the characters on the sheet at all and I was worried that he might feel a bit cheated when it became apparent who he was. So I was trying to bring the possibility to his attention without being too direct.
Funny, my instinct on who the Sailor should make drunk was the exact opposite each night 😂 Although in the end the only difference it would've made is that on the final day the Sailor would've been dead. So the good team would've had even fewer demon candidates. But maybe Oui would've been seen as the Shabaloth, who knows. 😊 At some point there was talk about the demon killing outsiders in order to give Godfather the ability to kill too. But Godfather only gets to kill if an outsider dies during the day.
I'm a wild card 😄 Truthfully, I wasn't sure how to play the Sailor.
I'm interested in your thoughts on my night 3 decision as to who I should make drunk with it, that ultimately led to the Moonchild kill and the Godfather kill not going through. Would it have been better to let the carnage go, regurgitate a good player, and then have town make what would have been a near 50/50 shot of who was the demon? I think I made the right call, but there's probably possibilities I'm not seeing.
Hey @Pumpuli_ just putting it out there that if you'd like to join our next game you are welcome to. At this stage I think you know everyone and their wily ways 😄
Yeah I think on night 3 your decision ultimately ended up being the better one. And otherwise a super coordinated evil team could've won already during the night (for example, demon attacks the same players as the previous night, preventing any regurgitation; Godfather kills Lunatic; Sailor dies to Moonchild). Another possibility I thought of just now is what if there had been no regurgitation in the end? Would that have left the game *too* tough for good to figure out?
@@Pumpuli_Maybe it was just because it was my first time running the Shabaloth, but I knew I wanted to use the ability at some point. Even if nothing else, to familiarise our group with what a Shabaloth would normally look like, so they have an idea how to use it or purpose a Shabaloth world in future games.
Using only emoji, reply with what you think of when Oui says "I don't even know what I'm doing" again.
🤨🗡️

That attempt was still just 2 points if I recall correctly. I think they were one cube off 3 points.

I'm glad you guys eat the food Oui put out, that's what it's for.
I was very distracted by the food consumption :D
which of you will learn the kazoo when you want to modify the intro and outro music?

I'm taking heat for not understanding rules that I didn't read!
Na not really, you know I say it with love :)
@Onyxiiadragon I'm happy to blame you @MichaelDart
You did not include the link. D tier.
Oh you actually put in the video!
Sometimes I do. I like to keep you all guessing as to whether I will or not
no link to the BotC assassin murder though!
@SianDart I'll add it... In post...
@@the1ben I feel I've heard that before somewhere ... (If I were less lazy, this would link to a montage of 20 twin peaks reaction videos where you tell us 'ill add it in post'
I thought I had seen every TP reaction on youtube; You guys are on episode 20 now! Definitely will check out the rest of the playlist
Thanks! I'll get in now and apologise for the audio on some of our early episodes. I'm currently editing our reaction to episode 21, just one left in season 2.
@@the1ben I'm sure it is addressed at some point, but do you guys plan on watching the movie and then s3? There's also the 'missing pieces' after the movie if you guys are true sickos lol :)
@@dannyg5276 We do indeed plan to watch the movie and season 3, but I'm not sure about anything else. Do you know where I could find it?
@@the1ben Google and reddit say HBO and Hulu
@@the1ben I think HBO or Hulu. It's like 90 minutes and watches as a series of scenes and clips
You sure KT has improved?
Are you going to take that lip from Oui, Katie?
Excuse me?!?! I did the chain without falling off!
I love the thumbnail for this episode, which happened just because we were talking about the game and realised we had the whole evil team in the same room.
Guys why you so wanna kill “the” tea lady? 🤷🏿♀️
Spill the tea, Oui.
I've been warning everyone to be careful of you and then I go and miss your lying face myself.
I stand by my theory on day 3 that my minstrel ability could have triggered, even though I was completely wrong 😄
Great job by the evil team though, 4/10 characters confirmed as good, and we still dont manage to get it ;(
I love the bit where you basically say you can pick when Phillip is evil by the way he speaks. 😂
@@MichaelDart And am totally wrong 🤣
It would've been fun to have it, but I wasnt expecting the lunatic XD
I'll pretend to myself that I was still being clever.
Who should get Play of the Day for this episode? - Oui for carrying the Tea Lady bluff deep into the game. - Drew for framing the Innkeeper, and derailing the Tea Lady test that was already on the block - Sian for setting up the evil team by organising the right bluffs to the right player.
If you didn’t know, the gibberish Garland was saying was "That gum you like is going to come back in style."
Talk about foreshadowing!! Oui was evil this time :). Great intro by the way.
It's made perfect by your provided art
That Clocktower video with Mel guest starring was a very fun game, but I unfortunately don't have time to edit it for another week. Stay tuned...
Slayer to the Investigator: "You're useless to me" 😆 What do you mean? If you trust the Investigator, then you've already got three people who most likely are not the demon! The Investigator knows two people; one is a minion and the other is almost certainly not the demon either. In a game of this size that's half of the Grim 😄 Granted that Lleech does muddy things somewhat.
Oui has only played 3 games in total now (including one we've not published yet) so he's still learning. He's kinda brutal with his assessments though 😂
Fair to say there's some pre-existing relationship dynamics going on here. 😂 But yes, you're right of course. And he doesn't think about slaying any of the three of them after that.
I feel like this was my biggest brain game
You basically had it worked out. Just a little more influence at the end maybe. You've had a few good games now.
I was initially going to add a Sweetheart to the script for another potential source of drunkeness/poison. In the end i thought it would be too much, and we didn't get 9 players anyway. Right decision, or should I have thrown them to the wolves?
You already DID throw us to the wolves! (spoilers) Wolves everywhere!
