Here in 2022, this is a show that Deserves to come back, AND have its own channel

[@Duckduckobtusegoose]

If you looked up what happened and saw that will sued them and then got hush money basically, you’d understand why it would never really come back. He could do his own version, but it likely wouldn’t be allowed to be close, I imagine they stipulated that in the settlement

[@Aquila009]

@@Duckduckobtusegooseyeah, the entire drama between Will, Geek & Sundry and Project Alpha was extremely unfortunate. I loved the stuff project Alpha put out, but man did they manage their people poorly. I still wish Critical Role took along some people or shows, when jumping ship.

[@CoreyMarinoGames]

@@Duckduckobtusegoose what was the reason for G&S and Wil to have a fall out?

[@sonofabippi]

One more comment about how this show needs to make a comeback.

[@herolounge]

Here in 2024, this is a show that Deserves to come back,

[@azzameentv]

That music of awe that plays whenever they add to their Alhambra is genius. Especially how it intensifies when someone buys two.

[@1234kalmar]

+Aaron Brudenell For some reason it reminded me f Life of Brian's opening scene. :D

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

*Warning:* When binge-watching TableTop, this music will lodge into your brain for days.

[@rakans3770]

It's Good but I kinda wish it was Islamic chanting

[@AngelavengerL]

I missed this show. This was one of my favorite episodes. The jokes weren't over done and it was very fun to watch. I adore dodger and was looking forward to seeing her on the show.

[@MegaZeroBlues]

Shane Nickerson has gotta be the funniest person they have had on TableTop. Bring this guy back!

[@eviled11]

The "balls in the mouth" bit literally has me in tears, oh my

[@EANTYcrown]

20:16 you can see his face go from exitement to sadness, asking himself, is he going to leave me hanging? and then back up to happiness when he gets the high 5

[@Borderlands2iscool]

''2 is more then 5'' xD

[@Borderlands2iscool]

***** Yes i know. I didn't think people would be judging my spelling lol

[@Borderlands2iscool]

***** xD

[@Nexoriator]

Ashley Johnson was the waitress talking to Cap in Avengers. Knew I've seen her before somewhere.

[@babasemka]

Some months later: waitress who? This is Ellie from TLoU!

[@DaDunge]

And she's also Gwen from Ben10 in all except the original series, which is a shame cause I liked that Gwen best.

[@evekitch5003]

There was supposed to be something romantic to happen between them but they cut it for Ashley being in TLoU and CR

[@wizkidgamer9942]

Dodger has THE HEART OF THE CARDS !!!

[@SporeRider92]

"I'm going to overpay 1 for the tower that costs 6 by paying 8."

[@EdwardBerner]

"And the tower actually costs 9."

[@cryhwks]

"Everything is coming up Wheaton" lol

[@whyisthereahandlenow]

And he had exact change for 6. (His money was 4-2-2)

[@poisondamage2182]

dodger is like that person in settlers of catan who's only mission is to get the longest road ever xD

[@IndeedYaBoi]

Those extra points will be MINE!

[@laschicvalisca2481]

I've noticed something interesting when I watched this video. Dodger paid exact change every time except once. In the famous words of Wil Wheaton... "SHE'S A WITCH!"

[@kennethbowman3784]

Dodger: The Rain Man of Alhambra.

[@DaveAmbroseflavadave11369]

Dodger Leigh is drop dead gorgeous, and table top is amazing. Go Wesley crusher! Maybe you will win for New Years.

[@ruzeenfarsad367]

By far one of the funniest episodes I've seen so far. Good looking fun game, Dodge's adorable, and Shane is really funny. Yes, I feel victim to creasing up at the teabag joke xD

[@whipy9203]

20:16... The epic "for a second there I thought you were gonna leave me hanging dude!" look :-D

[@2014moorea]

4:51- My mouth drops open because I realize that Ashley is the voice of Ellie from The Last of Us. Wow.

[@helenaandersen6809]

my mouth dropped when I just realized that after i read ur comment!!!

[@robinleandro380]

Abigal M. She's also that one waitress in the first Avengers movie.

[@jayfight1]

Abigal M. Oh no way. I am so glad you pointed this out and I am so glad I happened to check out the comments. This infinitely makes my life better ^-^ Also that moment, you can definitely hear that it's the same voice (although maybe I only hear it now that you mentioned it)

[@pameladenicolo3300]

I can't believe you actually discovered that NOW xD

[@MortalMusic10]

+Abigal M. Anyone else also not realize she was the voice of Gretchen in Recess?

[@12chains]

Came for Dodger. STAYED FOR ELLIE. :3 I did not expect the one and only Ashley on this.

[@levijawilson]

Wheaton and Nickerson together is awesome. I want more videos with these guys.

[@LeviJohansen]

Funny how there was no picture :P

[@arcubal]

Hmm...a invalid picture of kinda lousy victory spoils...that seems appropriately disappointing :)

[@AnthonyP73]

Damn...Ashley Johnson before she blitzed our minds as Ellie...mind officially blown.

[@EdwardBerner]

8:52 Yeah, that's exactly how I would describe Dodger as well :D

[@Lelines0]

I just realized. I think dodger is doing so well because she just played 999. That number trick they teach you in the game must have ingrained itself into her subconscious.

[@mattlowder]

some of the cutest female nerds i have seen in my life have been on Tabletop.

[@lukecarroll4052]

matthlowder Don't go any deeper!

[@TheDarksaphira]

Alhambra is amaaazing! I loved playing it with my family back in the day. Our version was different, the score board, and the market were separate small pieces and I am not sure if we even had a place for money to go or if it was just put down. We also only have normal cardboard tiles for the starting fountain. But that's really inconsequential for the game being fun. We also constantly had to shuffle everything around to make everyones mess of an alhambra fit onto the same table because we were constantly in each others way. We also had an extension with coins, that would make it so you'd get one single coin back for each two you overpaid by.

[@sayatheblakat]

14:28 I just hear Ellie saying "Ooooh I get it. Cause he ate his hands, then he threw them up!" It's awesome.

[@frank3manuel]

"Double high five, for two balls!" I have to say this more often.

[@rah_sollest]

For a minute there I thought the game was called "Alabama" XD;

[@partykrew666]

worst.game.ever. lol

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Is that the game where you marry your sister and watch Nascar?

[@rah_sollest]

Kara Argus+ It is and you always lose...forever. :I

[@evekitch5003]

I can't unsee Dodger as Eevee from the Random Encounters song and Ashley as Pike/ her character from Avengers

[@RedSoxFanatic4Life]

08:12 "Everything's coming up Wheaton." I want that on a t-shirt.

[@jamma246]

17:07 Shouldn't that have been a 5-point wall?

[@Arsenesational]

I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who saw that. At least it didn't have an effect on who won.

[@FruityOatyBar1984]

Ryan Badello I noticed it too when it first came out, but i just re-watched it and noticed that the actual tile itself, that she used does not have the wall on it.

[@FruityOatyBar1984]

I noticed it too when it first came out, but i just re-watched it and noticed that the actual tile itself, that she used does not have the wall on it.

[@LoadedGunn47]

Goddamn, is Ashley Johnson ever cute, lol

[@BurntFaceMan]

Played this with the guys at work, excellent game, good easy to pick up but hard to master game. the more people the more complex the game becomes because masses of strategy come into play. Love it.

[@TenguBE]

It's Pike!

[@szskits9786]

Good episode. Shane and Wil made this especially funny with their impressions and outbursts.

[@KamenRiderFan01]

I just came here for Dodger Leigh. XD

[@chrisallen9296]

So did I.

[@whitebuffulo]

she is a good vibe girl

[@ghostbirdofprey]

I kinda wanna see Wil have Dodger and Jessie Cox on the same episode of tabletop.

[@chrisallen9296]

***** Doger is the one with green hair.

[@CodeNY]

Love Ashley

[@BenPappas]

I love the ominous "Exact Change" music. Great show, great people, hoping for many more!

[@RoaringTide]

I don't know who I find cuter - Ashley or Dodger. Also, that Shane guy is hilarious.

[@dyson0187]

Just say they're equal. That's what I do

[@meltedplasticarmyguy]

I have found that most female players Wil has on are oh so very cute.

[@sjheiss]

What about Wil? He's cute too!

[@TheClassicWorld]

Dodger because of her hair, without the hair: Ashley.

[@zom8979]

Dodger

[@joelmiller1605]

ELLIE!?!?! What do you think you're doing?!

[@linasketch9625]

I FREAKING LOVE THE PERSON THAT EDITED THIS!!!! The scoring breaks song was so awesome and the fact they made the score appear according to the song's rythm was so fun/satisfying/Awesome :')

[@thatjimguy4530]

My favourite tabletop episode so far.

[@St69H]

I like closing my eyes and randomly hear Ellie...

[@EmileVinesh]

14:27, that "oooh" really sounds like Ellie after she's told a joke to Riley :P

[@Crick1952]

I know right 0_o

[@brookedagger8306]

Leon word 😂😂😂

[@chendaniel9831]

Everything coming up Wheaton" XD that was hilarious"

[@nicolaidavi495]

Your misplaced quotation marks are hilarious. ;)

[@TheFatman2K]

I love the bit at the end with Shane Nickerson coming back to the Loser's Lounge alone. He may have lost Alhambra, twice, but he won at comedy.

[@mowabe]

Brilliant as always, there needs to be a second series of this show.

[@stanvanrooijen734]

3 years later, still no picture to cut to

[@flinkelinks]

Antoine Grandjean wow!

[@matheusfrancisco1372]

5 years now

[@MinosDaedalus]

While listening to cute Ashley it is so easy to imagine Ellie sitting there playing table top. And that's weird. XD But I do love her voice. Could listen to it all day.

[@Bloodydane]

Awesome banter between Shane and Will! :)

[@toprak3479]

All three of the guests were awesome people. Shane especially was super chill.

[@DamonFyrian]

That Doctor Who reference! XD

[@wintermosher2274]

I just came here for Ashley Johnson

[@chaz9808]

i didnt use to think so but now damn she is super hot.

[@DaDunge]

Yeah every time she looks into the camera I could swear it photoshopped someone dialed the vibrance way up.

[@losaface4]

Oh man, I love watching these videos so much. Also, Wil's voice is so great to listen too.

[@LoganationDevice]

"we could kill her, no one would even know." "ok, i got to go" lol

[@jjakjjak5231]

Will, if you ever read this. I loved this show, the rules explanations and the vibe. If it ever comes back, I will subscribe immediately, again.

[@starfox300]

damn this happened before TLOU was even released

[@ghqwertyqw2385]

Watching this again honestly just for Shane, he’s absolutely hilarious!

[@wesesheskhnemtuhit]

Shane Nickerson's advice for losers was pretty spot on, thanks I'll remember that!

[@archer04ox85]

Subbed 'cuz of Dodger. Literally in love with that damn girl.

[@AnupBhatt]

Tbh, I'm here for dodger. But the game is fun though.

[@WandererTheLost]

I don't know about anyone else but I really wanted Shane to say "Alhambra" one more time when he was sitting on the couch alone at the end.

[@WhiVe87]

This episode made me laugh the most. These guys are a pretty good combo.

[@Yenrx]

The Dodger token link is broken.

AREPlp Awesome, thanks bud! And yes, anybody who is doubting that this is a link to the picture, I can tell you that yes it is :) Thanks again!

[@JamesSkemp]

Dodger didn't put it on her wall!?! :(

[@blacke00]

She actually did; when the video was new, they had a link...

[@gconnor18]

Shane and will are the perfect duo on this show! They played off each other so well! Also teabag jokes lol

[@xvexevx]

The banter between Will and Shane is amazing haha!

[@Lazerjo2000]

17:06 you missed a wall

[@alexaolsen9542]

gosh dooger was so timid back then

[@AdamYusko]

I do not know why I find this show so entertaining, but it is always a blast!

[@ThePhantom1988]

“I’ll take some of that mobney.” This is comic gold!

[@FryingBerries]

Jared _ Better work on your grammar. than*

[@KhaiTheRose]

when he said hop in the Tardis idk why but I got excited for a Doctor Who Table Top game

[@KillerKahn]

I would love to see more Table top episodes with Shane Nickerson. Honestly, I laughed my head off at him and Wil riffing.

[@SouthernYankee10000]

you guys should get Gus sorola or geoff ramsey, they play board games

[@gritynity]

it would be an awesome idea, but they may be too busy

[@IanWorris]

Did he say "Hop in the TARDIS" or was it just me mishearing?

[@scouttyra]

Yep, he did

[@Hilgenman]

After watching this my wife and I picked it up. It's quickly become one of our favorite games!

[@sinnjax]

WELCOME BACK TABLETOP!!!! We missed you!!!

[@MinecraftCutiepie]

Isn't Ashley Johnson the one who played Ellie in The Last of Us??? :D

[@talanock]

Yes, she also played the waitress that talked about Captain America in The Avengers as well as the daughter of Mel Gibson's character in What Woman Want, which is what I immediately recognized her from. She's grown up just fine :)

[@stephanberger3476]

Guess the picture didn't come through..

[@TheTatty09]

I'm just glad there's a new season.

[@ou5789]

haha the laught on the background when he was alone on the losers couch ahah

[@fireant202]

Cut to picture.....o oops.

[@artydragon520]

Gosh dang I thought she said press fart to continue.

[@KhaiTheRose]

honestly that's something she's appreciate

[@orioledodger]

Table Top is great. Already bought and played two of the games that were on your show last season (and have two on my wishlist). Now I will be adding this game to my wishlist. Love this show!

[@staticrodent]

Liked for Shane's parting philosophy, that's how every table top game I play goes, if you can't win it, play for the bottom!

[@MasterKickArse]

Ashley is beautiful

[@MrYouarethecancer]

is your fetish the 5head?

[@MultiFightforlife]

MrYouarethecancer That's not a 5head, bro.

[@Kalsight]

i wanted to see the picture :C

[@Uzimaki91]

That teabag exchange was glorious.

[@BoltHardcheese]

Love this series; found a few good games to play with friends on here. Glad Dodger won as I am a fan of hers too!

[@nachoijp]

It hurts to hear Will pronounce Alhambra (in spanish the H is silent)

[@tcol]

Not that important to get you so upset.

[@nachoijp]

Tiago César Oliveira True, my comment sounded worse than I meant to :P

[@gator966]

It hurts more that in the 13th century Al Andalus (Spain) was ours and that "AL" in the beginning of a word means "The" in Arabic...

[@nachoijp]

gator966 lol didn't know that, so alhambra means "the hambra"? what's hambra?

[@gator966]

The name is derived from the color Red (Ahmar, in Arabic), pronounced Al Hamra (The Hambra) in Arabic, meaning The Red One, referring to the palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain in the 9th-century. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in 889 and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid 11th century by the Moorish king Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar (notice his family name) of the Kingdom of Granada who built its current palace and walls, and later converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.

[@secretsmith813]

Omg it's pike

[@philipepeters]

What a nice game.

[@raky76]

How cute is Dodger! Another awesome episode, this game is now on my to buy list!

[@fryze3450]

Did Ashley play the girl from The Last of Us?

[@vincentkettle7169]

Yeah she played Ellie

[@fryze3450]

Thanks

[@FryingBerries]

Vincent Kettle You mean voice acted right ? That's weird, cause i remember people saying that the voice actor for Ellie was a former porn star.

[@vincentkettle7169]

Jester Muffin Who the hell told you that? Ashley Johnson is an actress and has never done porn. She does the voice for Ellie but also does the motion capture for her. All the cut scenes are properly acted out.

[@FryingBerries]

I dunno, i might be misremembering things. Could've been a different person in that game i guess.

[@mattfitzgerald3069]

PIKE!!!

[@mandycunningham1727]

I love this show! Good game, entertaining players!

[@chineseredneck5334]

Awesome to see Table Top back. Also love the music when the summary for games are done. "doom..doom..doom...doom..doom.doom" to an upbeat tempo.
