You were the leader design for Syphon Filter? Richard, you are a legend. Still one of my favorite game of all time. And now you do the best boardgames gameplay videos. Keep up the good work!
Me and my cousin played the heck out of Syphon Filter 2. We made a cardboard shield that kept us from knowing where the other one was on the map. Mr. Ham, you just got a whole lot cooler in my book.
Absolutely love this game! I backed it... It looks so good and we love coop Deckbuilders... So much want! The last days to back this project, so don't mis it :D
Why am I just finding out that you developed Brink which is, in my opinion, one of the most woefully underrated games of all time. I put Brink in my top 10 Xbox 360 games and it is right up their with Mass Effect on my list. I got so good with Brink it was scary.
Long time viewer, rare YT commenter. Just wanted to chime in and say that when I was deployed to Afghanistan in '11-'12 my team chipped in and bought a 360. We designated a rotation roster in-between missions of who got what playing times. So, a game I randomly got my hands on was Brink and I used all my designated time playing it over and over again, without internet mind you. Game played a part in helping me get through my deployment, and I still have it till this day as a memento. Thank you.
Wow, thanks for sharing that! I get a lot of "you worked on Brink? I loved that game" notes, but this one is probably the most meaningful one I've heard! Even though I don't work at Splash Damage any more, I just forwarded this along to them, as I'm sure they'll all be happy to hear it too. Happy new year!
It's just one of those things that's a real experience and feels impossible to convey due to target audience. Just never been worth sharing before, and I'm glad the meaning wasn't lost. Thanks for putting it out there to your former co-workers. You all derseve an equal heartfelt thanks, and a nice memory to go into the new year doesn't hurt. Obviously I put stake into reviews, as I wouldn't be on your channel in the first place. When I got back to the States and heard what the mainstream public opinion was of Brink, I was bewildered at first but frankly didn't care. I know what I know, and while it's unfortunate that it would be lost on them, I'm thankful I have this chance to share something so personal back to it's creators.
i love this game. i tried it about a year ago, and played with 4 players. I fell asleep it was so boring, but i got suggestions from the other players on bgg Aeons last thursday and ive been playing it ever since. I play it about every 2 days now and ran up 8 games since last friday. I would greatly suggest the base to any one. its the best. i just ordered Aeons end eternal war. i cant wait to get it. and of course i jump into the legacy kickstart. Enjoy.
+OpenWorldAddict during the live broadcast i was actually filming with 4 cameras... two webcams which is what everyone saw streamed, and my normal two camera put in almost exactly the same position, recording things normally. these runthrough videos are the result of my normal cams, which i edited together :)
He didn't own it. He was just given it for a limited time as far as I remember. He said it in a video where he reviewed the table. I think it belongs to someone other on Malta.
No that doesn't make sense. In the tables final thoughts video he clearly says he and Jen have been playing on it for months, and they picked the color to match their tile, as well as had the extension of the table on one end for laptops or cameras when filming.
+Hammerhead Fred it does :) he was able to choose how it should be since he was given it for reviewing purpose. The producer wanted to give it to him for free, but Richard declined since he does not know how long they will stay in Malta. All their stuff belongs to the apartment and he didn't want to own it. He mentioned that it is loaned in the first video. Also last month there was a discussion on BGG: boardgamegeek.com/article/21701900#21701900 :)
+Benjamin Krämer correct, the original plan was that after the loan period was over, that geek n' son would retrieve the table and use it as a demo model for conventions. but then i met a wargammer who is moving to malta, and showed him the table, and he liked it so much, he contacted geek n son, and they worked it out for him to buy the table outright
would be nice to be able to read the cards... maybe have a hand cam that you can point at the cards? i dont really care about the rules if the card descriptions are vapid, boring, and unbalanced
+Hugh Janus yeah, sorry, this was a camera experiment that went along with the live broadcast playthrough of the game. i'm not that crazy with the results, and won't be having the camera this far away from the action again!
oh damn....so...he is the hand who has been talking in the videos? he looks a bit older than i had imagined which is a bit surprising...i thought hed be in his 30s or something...but damn he looks like he is in his 50s...

+deathm00n2 hey..I was thinking the exact same thing.....Gabe Logan for the win !!
Me and my cousin played the heck out of Syphon Filter 2. We made a cardboard shield that kept us from knowing where the other one was on the map.
Mr. Ham, you just got a whole lot cooler in my book.
+deathm00n2 Syphon Filter was shamazing! loved tazing through the fence! Man what a game!
Agree with this. Syphon Filter was an amazing game!

Nico pp pretty different, but if you liked this you should check out Big Book of Madness. Great coop deck builder.

thanks a lot, i'm always glad to hear from folks who "got it"... I love Brink and am super proud of it, warts and all :)

Ryan Schoon you said it man i wish a new one would come out!

What changed? Why did it change from boring to exciting?
Great job! Game looks awesome and I just pledged on KS. Thank you for doing this! Keep up the great work!
More videos with Jen!
Totally, she adds another perspective and it's interesting to hear the tactical discussion.
jen.rahdo.com :)
rahdo wow that's more than I thought :-)
They are cute together. ^^
don't mind my funny pic ok? anyway just wanted to let you know I think you are the best game-play explainer on the internet, and the known galaxy
How did you phase that other camera in and out at the beginning and the end of this video, since it wasn't phased out on the livestream.
+OpenWorldAddict during the live broadcast i was actually filming with 4 cameras... two webcams which is what everyone saw streamed, and my normal two camera put in almost exactly the same position, recording things normally. these runthrough videos are the result of my normal cams, which i edited together :)
just watched this, crystal what? duck?! lol
Nice both of you are on XD
No wonder she doesnt enjoy alot of games, hes playing it not her lol
I realized this game is prone to quarterbacking. Probably not going to buy
Hi Radho. What happened to the new table? Your last few videos are back on glass table.
He didn't own it. He was just given it for a limited time as far as I remember. He said it in a video where he reviewed the table. I think it belongs to someone other on Malta.
No that doesn't make sense. In the tables final thoughts video he clearly says he and Jen have been playing on it for months, and they picked the color to match their tile, as well as had the extension of the table on one end for laptops or cameras when filming.

Crystal duck?
+Timothy Linnemann Am guessing that it was a Friends reference.
Friends! ;)
