Blind Man's Nine Morrissey - Clubhouse 51: Part 10

[@cmrobbins88]

It still surprises me that Arin is so good and adaptable at games like this and Hanafuda, but implodes into a black hole of rage and panic when it comes to chess. And I love it.

[@sv32099]

Yeah i noticed that too guess the thought of managing men overwhelms arin lol

[@Leo0718]

Complete vs. incomplete information games man. Anxiety can stay quiet when you don't know how the deck is deal. But on chess everything is setup and the amount of interaction can get overwhelming.

He can adapt in these games because they are meant to be learned quickly. *Nobody* adapts in chess if they haven't played very much.

[@heath6802]

Hanafuda seems to be very visual, with the pictures and all, whereas chess is just planning and only planning. Also, he took a concentrated effort to learn Hanafuda

[@itsallfunky4591]

Well for the Hex game at least he knows Go. And a lot of the Go skills translate pretty well to that game. He in fact was recalling ladders from Go and making parallels

Dan knowing that placing a hexagon one-tile adjacent to Arin's hexagon will always make him lose and yet he keeps doing that instead of placing his hexagon one tile away viscerally infuriated me

[@Jack-sy6di]

It's funny because that logic of going "if I block here he goes there, and if I block here he goes there... but then if I block here..." can be carried out for any number of moves. Like if you're gonna look at it like that, you may as well forfeit as soon as your opponent makes a single move.

[@Groovebot3k]

If there is a consistent pattern with basically every single Arin vs Dan game I've ever seen, it's that Dan will almost always win the virgin play of any game but as soon as Arin figures out the mechanics he turns it around... there are exceptions to this of course (Dan just has too much experience in chess for Arin to catch up, for instance) but by and large Arin always wins with a little practice. Because he's the video game boy.

[@rosslai3668]

Watching this is unbelievably painful, cus Dan throws winning positions left and right.

[@sirjuggles]

Holy cow in the Hex segment Dan had multiple unblockable lines and instead he chose to spend his move trying to defend against random Arin squiggles which were on the wrong side of the board. That was painful to watch.

[@sirjuggles]

Oof and then in that last game Dan CORRECTLY explains why his current strategy isn't going to work and Arin points out how to defeat his "flower" strategy. Which is immediately followed by Dan going "But it doesn't matter I already lost." and tossing out a piece that does nothing.

I wouldn't mind Hex having its own main episode. That was intriguing. Dan seems too obsessed with staying close. I was honestly confused, because Arin stated that it was a bad idea, but Dan kept trying to block by putting a hexagon right Infront of Arin's

[@AshBrian96]

Yes! There were so many times where he could've blocked Arin if he had put his piece one space over so he could cover off both paths

[@Antonim54]

Yeah, this game in particular seems more about using your pieces as a fishnet to catch the other player, as opposed to directly intercepting.

[@VonSnootingham]

Right? A lot the time, he wasn't even blockint Arin's path so much as gently caressing it's balls as it passed by.

[@CauchyIntegralFormula]

Hex is a great game, mainly because draws are impossible, and both players can't win. When all the hexes are filled in, exactly one player will have a winning connection, so stopping the other player is exactly the same as strengthening your own position. Offense and defense are exactly the same thing

[@kendallgaj7834]

It was frustrating watching Dan have a string of like 7 pieces in a row and then dropping everything to try to counter-play Arin on the other side of the board who had only 3 pieces in a line.

Dan’s defeatist attitude is really frustrating especially since he actually has a real chance of winning half the time despite Arin’s lead.

[@patricktsao9630]

He reallllly has a habit of assuming the worst in things like this. Just look at Monopoly - "you can always come back, and screw me, no trades". Or the Chance/Community Chest cards - he gets one bad one once and he writes it off as a negative forever, despite scoring countless good ones after. I've had Jewish friends tell me before that this sort of pessimism can be a cultural thing depending on where you're from, so this could be that.

I feel like Arin was trying not to savagely beat Dan’s ass in that third game because he could’ve mill’d multiple times but didn’t early on. Or maybe they both just suck because Dan never saw it either. That spot ended up being Arin’s double mill destruction

[@erien6769]

Arin seems to purposefully throw games when Dan gets salty. Dan missed that mill multiple times and Arin let it hang there until all of their pieces were placed.

[@aniyilator]

Arin was definitely waiting for Dan to have his eureka moment, but he gave up instead

[@phoenixsoren]

10:35 Dan, if you had blocked his open mill, he'd eventually have to open the other one which would let you immediately take out both of them. I always root for you in these versus episodes, but your defeatist attitude in this case is blinding you from seeing that you're winning.

[@tumblecheck]

I typically root for Arin. Dan wins too much of the time.

[@CyclonSilver]

I definitely agree that Dan gives up too quickly repeatedly in this, but I don't get your example? I'm not very familiar with that game but, couldn't Arin simply have opened in the bottom left, leaving Dan with no option(you don't retain flying time do you?)? And what would blocking Arin's mill with one of the three pieces he had left have accomplished, since that kills his own ability to take pieces and thus win?

[@bluestrawberry679]

@@CyclonSilver You DO retain flying time, so he could have just indefinitely blocked both of Arin's Mills, forcing Arin to try and build another Mill, possibly giving Dan a Chance to build a Mill of his own

The number of times he's thrown a game in this collection is getting absurd.

Even Monopoly would be fine, just something where strategy can be left behind in favor of jokes. It's hard to watch someone keep giving up.

Watching them play the hexigon game and say it's not like Go, all I can think of is "play it like Go". You don't just stick to the opponent. You set up pieces a few steps away so you can build a wall before they get there. The sides probably shouldn't touch until the very end. Though they did seem to discover the idea of KO. Where you counter an attack with an attack somewhere else to try to buy a move advantage.

[@NerdXlife]

There is actually a strategy to hex, so in the beginning of the round don’t focus on your side, but your opponents Side and pay attention if they plan on going towards the left, right or middle, so it’s best to close off D and H first, cuz if you close off just 1/3 of their side it already makes it hard from them.but so focus on blocking first, cuz if you manage to block a one whole side of theirs it’s basically an automatic win.

It would be so surreal if at the end of one of the episodes they just said "ok thanks for watching the last episode of game grumps bye" and they just never uploaded again

[@Abrahamwaffle]

I think they have made that joke many times, especially when one of them is angry they lost or something

[@topsysrevenge]

“It’s boring, it’s shitty and I hate it” is EXACTLY how I feel playing this with my bf hahahaha

[@melancholyism]

[@anyanaylor]

Me: zones out during Arin's explanation of every single game Also me: idk why I don't get any of these lol what's going on

[@nothanks6925]

I’m so early I can proudly declare I’m sexually attracted beyond words to animated cartoon Arin

[@kittithekitter]

I agree with Rasputin

[@pyrske1903]

-Said nobody ever.

[@davidstumpfl5889]

Its nice having the Grumps sing your name over and over again.

[@eBuddy89]

Dan is such a sore loser. And Arin is doing his best to soften any blows, keeping Dan's hubris in check.

[@lightshadowed]

Okay, I think I found a trick to the hexagon game: you can't block the other player by trying to go along the same axis they are playing on, but when you build properly along your axis, you're basically impenetrable. When Dan had Arin on the run for a bit, it's because he tricked him into moving along Dan's axis (parallel to the blue, opposite to how Arin's path should run). Literally the trick is to always be building a viable, efficient path.

[@cicada_teeth4701]

WoOo! Im early! I love these videos so much and I always look forward to them!

[@FabbrizioPlays]

I'm really glad Dan and Arin both realized the core mechanic of Hex - knowing when to give up - because understanding that concept makes it way more strategically fascinating. The sooner you know that you can't stop your opponent on one front, the more moves you have to block on another front. Unfortunately they didn't have a scenario with which to discover the secondary mechanic to that - noticing when, even though a front is lost, you can spend a single move to cost your opponent two or more moves. Everything done in this game is to buy yourself more moves, either by recognizing futility, or by causing a speedbump.

[@jacobbewley4410]

this game feels sooooo cheap. you can literally sit and move back and forth to two spaces and obliterate the other person

[@christophemarois]

Yeah its very frustrating to watch

[@tinkerer3399]

It is definitely a game where you are meant to resign rather than actually play to the end.

[@sundeity4]

no dans just really bad at it

[@Zathren]

The fact that Arin just didn't use that Mill opportunity at 12:25 makes me rage.

[@senatorsparky]

[@Sivoris17]

I love this series so much just for introducing me to a bunch of games I want to play myself.

[@YAOES]

I could watch Clubhouse 51 games for DAYS.

[@arrowofyarrow]

everytime dan says "crazy" i am thrown back to crAZy BreAD

[@luigidude1000]

Dan: "Arin just showed me how to play, what is it called? Nine Men's Morris?" Dan in the first 3 minutes: "wait you can mill in the first?....oohh i thought we we're just setting it up! ooooh that's stupid!" this perfectly sums up game grumps

[@whitecap0073]

Hearing these two sing throughout the vid was pretty wholesome

[@Inuzuka4]

Dan's Hex gameplay makes me physically ill.

[@ApocolypseChild]

"Open the ep. with that, but [censor] it" Great work ignoring half of that very short instruction. haha
