[@whapadoodle]

this video was so good, it made 16 minutes feel like 5!

[@joevano]

Wait… it really was 16 minutes? Get out a here…

[@ValosarX]

We all lost time, something is clearly up here! Will sue!

[@jamesdominguez7685]

So good, and so funny. I laughed nearly constantly.

[@SpoonyBard88]

I had no idea this was happening and I am pleasantly surprised. This is on par with some of the heights of Tom's madness.

[@AutumnReel4444]

If true, badass

[@peterclarke7240]

Exactly my reaction. Emily and Tom are going to be the perfect power couple of carefully crafted randomness and well-reasoned insanity.

[@Veggieman87]

Emily definitely fits with the silliness and sense of humor of Shut Up & Sit Down, and these games all look like great brain teasers! A triumphant debut, I’d say! Welcome to the team, Emily! And look, a cameo from Friend Of The Channel Pip!

[@indubio1]

*Best Friend of the Channel!

[@seanmobley2610]

Yes! Welcome Emily!

[@kramersolinsky5841]

Your editing in this one is PHENOMENAL! Next level stuff.

[@SamuelBrown-db7rj]

Truly impressive editing!!

[@RosaliaEmerald]

dorfromantik is a board game now and emily is australian?? my world is shattering this is so awesome

[@mark_midmark]

Really enjoyed how quickly this moved, and the jokes throughout. It was concise and informative

[@DumbMuscle]

This is like if bill wurtz' "history of the entire world, i guess" was a board game review and I love it

[@leonardquirm]

Love the jokes and the content but whew, this felt like watching a video on 2x speed the whole way through! Looking forward to seeing more from Intern/full-employee/recently fired Emily though. (And the Pip talk was a particularly excellent gag)

[@billlynch3704]

Haha I actually had to check my video to see if I had accidentally left on a higher speed.

[@ValosarX]

Even though it feels like it is sped up it somehow also made the 16 minutes go faster as if it sped up actual time.

[@milkiverplanski9491]

The pip talk cracked me up so hard! :D

[@AngoraWinch]

I think that’s a lesson all new KZbinrs have to learn. When you watch Quinn’s old vids he was the same

[@CuriousCabinet]

I put it on 0.75 speed and everything remained normal. That’s a talent!

[@furstyferret81]

I like how quick and snappy the review was, she has her own style and it suited reviewing several games in one go!

[@carterolson4840]

Tom and Emily are bringing the weird spark that makes SUSD so unique in the board game spice. Quinns you know how to pick em. Loving the direction of the channel nowadays.

[@Phreakiboi]

I burst out laughing so many times while watching this. Such a good mix of humor and information. Well done!

[@yodasears]

Laughed too hard, too often. Fantastic stuff. "Oh now you do it" broke me.

[@TwoToneTrumpet]

The joke at 8:40 really cracked me up laughing. More like this, loved the video

[@voltcorp]

my favorite was the callback at 15:04

[@orangerful]

As someone who plays a LOT of solo games, Emily definitely captured the feeling when someone says "wait, there are solo board games?" and you begin to tell them about as many amazing games as you can before they run away. I feel seen. Thanks Emily.

[@SnoopyThe4th]

man everytime it looks like SUSD is verging even slightly into losing it's edge they pop a wheelie, rev up a ramp, flip and fall onto their face and get up and bow and run at the ramp, this time on foot and succeeeding on foot, and leaping off the top of the ramp to freeze frame in eighties success pose. Fantastic vide, love emily, funny, witty, both expanding and fitting with the SUSD vibe beautifully. All my congrats again gang.

[@bruceknight3720]

Wow, super-impressive vid. Very entertaining and brilliantly edited. Thanks!

[@BobbyReichle]

One of the most delightful videos I have seen in quite some time. Thank you for your service. God. So many great jokes.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Yesssssss!! Sooo funny!!! And i love the For Northwood coverage!!

[@dragondai912]

Welcome aboard, Emily! So glad to have you with the rest of SUSD!

[@Brahmsonite]

Great video! I'm already waiting for the next one.

[@narsil0420]

How can someone come in and just kill it this easily!?! Way to go Emily!

[@Ailar2209]

Not a channel regular by any means, so this is the first I've seen of Emily. But I like her, she seems like a good fit for SU&SD. The "Oh, NOW you do it!" towards the end, when she clicked her finger and the game magically appeared next to her made me laugh more than it probably should have :)

[@neon4897]

Oh wow, congrats on one of the best SUSD video in a good while

[@atheist_addict]

‘Despite what you might think, overthrowing a dictator is no easy task.’ Best line ever. 😂😂😂😂

[@TheRogueDM]

I don't think I've ever guffawed this much at any SU&SD videos (except maybe the megagame ones but that's beside the point). Emily you are KILLING IT!

[@adammarques1972]

Great episode, excellent edition to the team. 👏🏼

[@Bogrin]

Love the video! Been getting more into solo gaming so will try some of these out!

[@philomorph7]

Welcome to the visible portion of the family (from the invisible contingent)!

[@_rackel]

Great comedy, pure chaotic energy, the video was really fun to watch! I am thrilled to see more reviews by Emily.

[@elibosnick3013]

"Bite it!" "I"m not gonna bite it!" "Coward!" Laughed out loud

[@KaaptnIglo]

Great video - informative and fun. Thanks!

[@ags3006]

Just love the different style of your videos while having the same excellent quality of all SU&SD

[@mrzeegamez]

I love your sense of humor and comedic timing lol, but I honestly was really excited by the title since I've been building up my solo gaming collection lately. Mostly a lot of games that are cooperative, but have an option to be played solo, so it's nice to see games made to be played solo entirely and I really want to try Dorf and Northwood! Also, I was right there with you on the childhood thing lol. No one wanted to play Monopoly or Risk with me so I just played multiple characters to see who would win.

[@fireant202]

Well I had no idea Tom’s mad lad energy could be outdone so quickly. I think I found my favorite new SUSD contributor.

[@alphasharp]

I really enjoyed this episode of Shut Up & Sit Down Under!

[@Julsten3107]

Great video, Emily, welcome to the family!❤

[@bryanm6826]

outstanding upgrade to the SU&SD channel

[@danpsou]

This was objectively good.

[@ScottSnowdenart]

The creator of For Northwood made a really great solo game for regular playing cards called Loot the Loop. I fully recommend it.

[@RobertDavis-xn1nk]

Really liked this video. Great addition to the channel 🎉🎉

[@gwenread7115]

this house is so australian. i feel like ive lived in it crammed with 10 other friends

[@user-sc5gd7yo8l]

This video is a textbook example on how infotainment should be done. Every second was solid gold and Emily feels like a perfect addition to the team. Looking forward to all new content 🤩

[@alanyau5016]

I enjoyed your video a lot, Emily! Thanks for joining the team! Looking forward to your next one!

[@Rhino1186]

Very nicely done Emily! That was really entertaining.

[@GenderNeutch]

Amazing video, amazing energy 😊

[@ToneDeeezy]

I'm always worried about change, but this video rocked. Great editing, great host, might be inviting more solo games into my home. Welcome Emily!

[@peterclarke7240]

Try not to worry about change. It's annoying, but it all adds up and can still be very useful for paying for small items.

[@BarbarianGod]

I'm so here for the chaotic energy, let's go!

[@stogrady]

Awesome video. Funny stuff indeed. Looking forward to more! :)

[@Hades3390]

Editing 👌 Pacing 👌 Vibe 👌 love Emily as a new addition!

[@jacobcortez3545]

Emily is killing it already. This is going right up there with Tom's review of all the Railroad Ink expansions as one of my favorite SUSD videos of all time

[@tracytroutman7188]

This entire video was a delight.

[@user-xx1pu3ni7n]

Funny-Funny-Funny! Great script and comedy timing!

[@TomasCordilheira]

I dont know if I commented the first time I watched this one, but in case I didnt, Emily is so so very good, great jokes, awesome review. This is her first vídeo (second aperence) on the channel and this vídeo is on Tom level of comedy and delivery. Great hire!

[@nickpotgiesser6956]

Huge upgrade! Great debut!

[@athanasiospetsas9367]

I love it! Nice presentation, amazing editing, and cool music! Great addition! Keep it up! 🎉

[@willowlovegood4378]

This video was excellent! Welcome Emily! I’m excited to see more reviews in the future.

[@Motif054]

Love seeing new people join SU&SD!! Welcome to the family :)))

[@AdamDrew]

The "I'm so alone" "no it's a big joke there will be text" setup/payoff was absolutely top-notch video jokes. Well done!

[@trogman]

I have played or owned 4 of these games, and she summarized all of them in 5 minute better than any other individual video I have seen. I didn't need to watch this video really, but it was very fun to watch.

[@PlayGamzWithMe]

Great entertaining video!! Thank you

[@leeleedee]

OMG! This video hit all my joy points! Solo games? YES PLEASE!! Aussie accent? DOES MY LITTLE AUSSIE EXPAT HEART A COSY! Pip cameo? YAY! Champagne comedy? YOU BETCHA! Thank you, Emily!

[@adamwoods6373]

The pip-talk was a real treat 😂

[@ZoidbergForPresident]

Cool addition to the team! :)

[@EForrest88]

A wild Pip has appeared! I was literally just thinking before watching this video that it's an age since we've seen her in anything SUSD (but I'm also more of a sporadic viewer these days, so I may have just missed her)

[@matthewnewman8670]

She was just on a podcast episode a couple days ago! but yes we want more Pip!

[@EForrest88]

@@matthewnewman8670 neat. I am literally years behind on the podcast, stopped listened to a whole bunch during covid.

[@ConManAU]

She’s shown up a little in some convention panels and things, but they recently announced along with Emily (and maybe others?) joining the crew, Pip has been promoted from “friend of the show” to “best friend of the show” and will be more involved in things. Which I’m looking forward to.

[@TheSludgeMan]

Woah I've thought for ages that SUSD should hire Emily... i had no idea I could manifest stuff so easily. Emily's reviews are rad.

[@bgarnreiter89]

Emily, you absolutely CRUSHED this! I have been solo gaming for about a year or so, and totally feel the same way! Truly you killed it, what a great video and I ugly laughed many times! Thanks for great reviews and a great video :)

[@Rhillion]

Holy shit that was exhausting to watch. Well done.

[@a.z.p.]

Such great editing!

[@sumwierdkid]

I love this energy

[@princesshansalorre]

this video was so much fun to watch. loved the humor. And these games look like fun as well.

[@cpatnaude7]

Emily, I love your energy. Welcome to SU&SD!

[@theNoriLi]

This was hilarious! It sold me on a few games, too. I'm quite interested in Resist. Great video.

[@cinnabarsin4288]

The best part of For Northwood! totally not mentioned. They're plastic cards so you can riffle shuffle them without ruining them instantly, while still feeling all the appropriate shame (and joy there in) of doing so! Really a great decision by the maker since you're going to be shuffling a ton and it would be a nightmare if they weren't riffable.

[@ThirzaInHeaven]

Wauw! Jam packed with great jokes and very engaging editing (my attention span needs the quick changes thank yooou). Looking forward to more of your work Emily ❤❤

[@basc.8752]

Squirrel friend … so funny. YASSSSS 😂

[@polettix]

Brain. Exploded. Seismic. Talent.

[@Mancupcake]

Oh my god... Emily is the greatest do whatever it takes to make her happy. A phenomenal addition to the team and an excellent video to both introduce her and add to Shux' catalogue.

[@nettness]

THIS. She must be protected at all costs! (Also, my god that's an Australian AF house 🤣)

[@civilmcgraaw]

Very good. Excellent. More of her please.

[@kevinbhieey9188]

Excellent addition! (Way) more, please!

[@mjiopytrklk]

I loved your channel (the review of "Oath" especially was fenomenal). So glad to see you here!

[@VyvyanTheGreat]

Loved this!

[@kaisolacegames]

I love Emily already. 😄And as someone who is also so, so alone... um, I mean, loves solo gaming... these games look like they'll be absolutely perfect. Thank you for both the recommendations and the large smile on my face right now!

[@AngoraWinch]

I agree! 80% of my gaming is solo - I do love playing with other people but other people are way less available to me than I am. Plus I genuinely enjoy my solo games, I can play what I want when I want, I don’t need to think about other people when I buy new ones and I can take my time making decisions - what’s not to love? And it’s hard to find entertaining/funny reviews of solo games so Emily’s first vid was perfect for me 😊 I hope she does more! For any other solo players out there who like jokes in their reviews The Grouchy Nerd is great - I especially enjoyed his review of the Black Sonata which makes me chuckle every time I pull the game out to play

[@goodgoodmike]

Amazing video Emily!!

[@smiller8138]

Excellent, entertaining video. More Emily!

[@deeoh_nyc]

Emily is such a joy and a nice, refreshing personality to the channel. Can't wait to see more content with her.

[@sonnypound]

I second that

[@shylevari]

I don't usually comment twice, but when I do, it's for this video. This was brilliant, it's like having two Toms, but by having two Toms somehow you exponentially get more Toms? A squared Tom? Yes, Emily to the power of Tom. This was incredible, and more please.

[@Dorian_sapiens]

I love squares!

[@shylevari]

As if you have a choiiiice

[@MarlonDait]

"Restraint i don't have, cheating is great!" I love this XD

[@Brainfracture]

This was very entertaining :) Also big props for the editing.

[@AvinZarlez]

Emily is awesome! I am excited to see more videos ❤

[@PetrVojtech]

Emily, welcome! This video has been super fun. I love how the jokes and skits are played on several different levels. Making the script for this must have been so hard. And I must admid I laughed so hard when you said "Do you like your money? That's a shame, cause so do we." And that is the reason you have my money.

[@pouletnoir4441]

That was so good! Really informative and a lot of fun, and only slightly tinged with deep deep sadness...

[@MatthewCallier]

Hilariously entertaining video. Well done.

[@karinagreen6878]

I love Emily. She got me to put my phone down and watch the whole episode, no doom scrolling! Love. Her energy ❤

[@MattBenecke]

Emily nailed it 💅🔨 Great work! Excited to see more in the future

[@Antoine-1793]

Editing, writing and... acting (?) was SOOOOO good. GG and welcome !

[@illsthaprophet]

I love every single thing about this video

[@snarfleezcattleprod4506]

OMG, Emily is such a PERFECT addition to SUSD! So witty punchy, her timing and delivery are just perfect. I watched this with my SO, and we had to pause and rewind like a dozen times - we legitimately had to stop laughing so we could actually hear her. "I often get described the same way"... we just lost it. She's so rapid-fire... by the time you stopped laughing at something, she's already said 3 more hilarious things. Emily fits the SUSD vibe so perfectly. I sincerely hope all that "England" talk was a hint that she'll be joining the gang IRL for some vids and podcasts. The chemistry would be stellar.

[@petrajaros8637]

Welcome, Emily! How did the SU&SD team manage (yet again) to find someone with their own distinct voice who also fits so well with the rest of the style? I look forward to looking forward to Emily videos!
