    I would love to see more of these, especially with the Stargrave crews you've been building! The animations were superb.

    • @weecefew
      @weecefew 9 месяцев назад +9

      Yeah I was gonna say a Stargrave one of these would be great.

    • @g-rex9089

      Play Stargrave against your cat so we cant hear all the trash talk towards our favorite crafter.

  • @benjamindebo9283
    @benjamindebo9283 9 месяцев назад +104

    Bill really outdid himself on this one. He didn't have to stop motion animate the whole battle but he did. So cool

  • @DetritusRelated
    @DetritusRelated 9 месяцев назад +50

    You should also create a Cat tonk. Cat may have felt a little left out in this new endeavor. Really liked the video!

  • @slimehousetv
    @slimehousetv 9 месяцев назад +63

    Now that's how you do a battle report!
    Great work on this edit man, such a fun series to be a part of and an absolute honor to be officially Cannon in the Crafterverse 🙌

    Bill. This is the best battle report format I've ever seen. Please make more. Now I need to go make tonks.

  • @npnp9661
    @npnp9661 9 месяцев назад +18

    Loved the "cheater" flash frame at the point of Theo's victory😂. Affected me more than the naked dudes in the bubbles in eighties Schweppes adverts. Keep up the good work, Bill and Theo

  • @halfcrafted
    @halfcrafted 9 месяцев назад +88

    I've really enjoyed this series! Great seeing the creating of the game pieces all the way to the actual playing of the game. Great work Bill, you should be really proud of these videos, and deeply ashamed that Theo thrashed you like that. ❤️

  • @thelittlestgiant
    @thelittlestgiant 9 месяцев назад +9

    Wow, seeing a battle report by a gamer artist, rather than “just a gamer” is insane. Literal stop motion animation and hand-drawn smoke and explosions? This absolutely needs to be seen by more people.
    Oh, and I also have to add, no, this isn’t what I want you to solely focus on. I celebrate the fact that you’ve been able to make such a wildly awesome channel without pigeonholing yourself into one specific niche. Variety is the spice of life, and your channel has variety. (Amongst other great things like great humor, awesome editing style, amazing artistic skill, etc.)
    Keep making stuff, Bill. ❤

  • @CrossovrMstr
    @CrossovrMstr 9 месяцев назад +15

    I love the little animations between turns and the voice over banter! Much better production than 95% of the battle reports that I see on you tube. Congratulations! I hope it was as enjoyable to make as it is to watch.

  • @chasonlapointe

    Tonks for the battle report, I particularly enjoyed the stop-motion and animated hits.

    Great collaboration guys, really enjoyed this one! I can confirm Theo leaves a can of energy drink and a Unit 11 DVD everywhere he visits, which is great... because I really enjoyed the ... energy drink.

    the little skittering sound that theo’s tonk makes is very very good
    delightful video

  • @purplethunda8863
    @purplethunda8863 9 месяцев назад +1

    Definitely one of the best battle reports I've watched. The animation really brings it to life. It always sucks to watch a battle report where it's just a bunch of middle-aged nerds moving their toys around and talking about it with no visuals

  • @winkusdinkus7325
    @winkusdinkus7325 9 месяцев назад +10

    Hi Bill. I really enjoyed this episode. The last couple months you and Crafsman have reignited something in my that has laid dormant since my golden era of 9-12 years old where I was at my most creative and interesting. I am finally remembering all the cool stuff I like doing and making. I made a Tonk out of sculpey and painted it even though I have never used sculpey before and it looks crap and the oven was too hot so it burned the polymer clay, but I still did it and I'm really proud of it. Now the challenge is convincing my missus to play with my little tonks with me. And also try this boardgame.

    @dranorter 9 месяцев назад +21

    Theo's tonk was super cool! Your animated battle report was great, I hope to see some Stargrave or Gaslands from you too. Well, provided you can do it without always spending days on animation. I wonder how you managed to record the banter so well too. It felt natural even though it didn't sound like you were in the same room recording as you played.

    I loved this! So nice to see you communicate with someone other than Cat, I was getting a little nervous about you. So nice of you to let him win too, being the host that's just polite (You're good)!

  • @bradpresley84
    @bradpresley84 9 месяцев назад +5

    Best battle report I've ever watched. The stop motion was amazing. Maybe a Stargrave report with your crews?

  • @GH0STJAKOB

  • @jonahunderhill
    @jonahunderhill 9 месяцев назад +1

    I honestly didn't think I'd care about this episode when you announced it. I'm here for the crafts, but the animation really added a lot of interest. Makes me want to make and play tonks. Really great video. Your banter with Theo was good too

    YOWIE WOWIE! 100% certified dope as all get out. The banter. The animation. THE ART STYLE. Did everyone else see this? Wake you grandad up tell him he’s got a video to watch. He can put his teeth in later. This was absolutely outlandish. Bravo on a non stop thrill ride!

  • @jjmetrejhon1743
    @jjmetrejhon1743 2 месяца назад

    Another fantastic episode - not just a battle report, but awesomely animated, too! We're so lucky to have you Bill.
    And to top it off, Theo hoped you would feel the burn from being rammed in episode...Erm, seventy. Brilliant.

  • @paintandplayminis328
    @paintandplayminis328 9 месяцев назад +1

    Yes! I was hoping you would included the full stop motion at the end! This was great! Simple game, easy to follow, minimal supplies needed and building your tonk completely up to you. I think it would be interesting to have more than two people play at once or be controlling multiple tonks on your team. With a big enough map, you could even add power ups or 1ups on the field.

  • @jacobbalensiefer3846
    @jacobbalensiefer3846 9 месяцев назад +1

    Credit to the designer for a simple but interesting little game. I could actually follow what was going on the entire time.

  • @AndreSjoberg
    @AndreSjoberg 9 месяцев назад

    The world totally needs a «Bill Playing Stuff»-channel - or at least series, maybe a mini-series … that could have seasons, and specials with weird episode numbering that messes with everyones OCD and makes no sense -and it could be called … «The BATTLE REPORTAGE» … or maybe Journal, or stuff …

  • @Ichthyodactyl

    This is completely an aside, but when Theo speaks, I can't help but be reminded of Cuno from Disco Elysium.

  • @MegaMaximus333

    Do a 4 tank battle next. Also loved the stop motion (awkwardly pats head). There ya go, you have been praised.

  • @Dismythed

  • @littlebacchus216
    @littlebacchus216 9 месяцев назад

    Love seeing Bill report on playing a battle as it happened... turn by turn... talking us through it... Think we need more Bill reports on playing a battle as it happened... turn by turn... talking us through it... maybe... with or without the stop gap, moving animation thing. Or whatever.

    @sergiovasconcellosocriativo 9 месяцев назад +1

    I can imagine the work this animation gave you, Bill. Sleepless nights, endless editing, lots of crying and sweating (if it's not cold, of course!).
    I didn't know how to play it. I learned one more! But anyway...an amazing job!
    🕵 I take off my hat...

    Great Duel Description, Combat Communique, Tonk Talk, or whatever Cat called it. 10/10, would watch again!
    The table banter was fun, and the overhead view really helps understand the positioning. The stop motion and hand drawn fx are the real stars though, what a treat! Great work Bill!

    Your first battle report, my first time watching one. I really enjoyed it. Tonks seems simple to learn, yet looks like you can have a ton of fun with. My husband would have liked it. Thanks for another fun video. Looking forward to the Halloween video😊
