I guess that it depends from person to person how much the noice effects you. Personally I have done this against 2 people in at school during a break while talking to others.

I think Kurt was expecting a handshake anyway since that's how a draw by agreement is formalized.

someone needs to talk about Ned’s skill in this video. i know Kurt was blindfolded and playing 3 other games mentally, but Kurt even admitted he played impressively and made moves he didn’t see coming. Ned was flexing his intelligence a bit in this one.

This is the first video with Ned that I have watched since the news dropped - and I wasn't sure how I would feel, but to be honest - I still enjoyed it, but maybe it's because Ned was actually focused for real in this video instead of trying to be funny.

[@Odhil95]

I really am trying to avoid the Ned comments. I just wanna watch videos in peace and maybe with a little pain. But I agree, I was gonna comment on how you can see the change in his expression: While playing chess he's extremely focused, and not even what's happening next to him can phase him. After the match, he returns to doing exagerated expressions. That's something.

[@lunabelletheinsane]

@@Odhil95 I think I am finding that I can still appreciate the videos for what they are with Ned - that it doesn't change my opinion of the video - they're still great videos of four (sometimes 3) best friends doing weird/funny/kooky/crazy things together.

I feel like Ned is way smarter than most people believe. He took the SAT after 15 years and got a super high score. He got into Yale and worked as a chemist. He tied with a chess master.

[@stevenliang3213]

Phoebe Ahn : And Ned clearly called a truce because he was nervous over the last few moments of the game. Didn’t want to continue stressing trying to beat Kurt. Haha Also, a lot of us know that Ned is the most educated and analytical of the Try Guys. After all, he is the one who manages the Try Guys finances. FYI, did anyone notice that Ned was concentrating and joking the least in this video?
