CoxCon 2016 - The Co-Optional Lounge: Spyfall

[@MrBandorr]

before the game about who the spy is, Genna: Crendor Jesse: Crendor Round 1: Crendor Round 2: Crendor Round 3: Crendor Round 4: Jesse (because he stole crendors card) Wow Genna and Jesse are good at guessing.

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

TBs shuffling is extremely consistent.

[@dnceleets]

before the start of the second game "it's crendor again!" if only you knew

[@Vicioussama]

Just for future corrections, it's Genna :P

[@MrBandorr]

Whoops immediate corrections.

[@ilovestrongheroines1999]

It's amazing how the laws of probability just bend to Crendor's will.

[@fullster1983]

Give TB a raise!!! Doing this show right after Chemo! Kuddos to TB and Well done!

[@tomaszskowronski1406]

TB is his own boss. He gets all the raises he can. Well, technically, Genna might be his boss. I dunno, im not in their house every weekend for dinner

[@VenseyNess]

+Tomasz Skowroński That sounds like something a SPY would say!

[@tomaszskowronski1406]

Here's a thing. Im liberal

[@1219FireBlast]

+Tomasz Skowroński I think Chris is their boss :p

[@rainbinedash2022]

+Tomasz Skowroński Liberals can be spys

[@3mp7y1995]

I will tell my kids stories about Crendor

[@MegaFruut]

The Legend

[@random767612e]

The Spymaster

[@holymackerelthethird2478]

The Amish

[@LordTrilobite]

The Credoge

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Crendor is a legend.

[@hogneberg-lydvo5304]

Even when Jesse's in charge, TB somehow takes over the entire show

[@volrath__]

Well, he was the games master. Also, Jesse isn't in charge, we all know he hates responsibility!

[@Emelenzia]

You would figure with Jesse knowing all the shit TB going through at he at least to attempt to lessen that burden though.

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

+Emelenzia I think TB enjoys it. He sure seems to at least. I was pretty sick a few months back, couldn't move hardly at all ect. I basically had my phone to keep me entertained. Taking charge of a game night would have given me something to do and taken my mind off my inability to walk further than my bathroom

[@Emelenzia]

Bearlee Survivin That definitely is a possibility but you think others would meet TB half way. From sounds of it they blew off TB when he planned a rehearsal of the games. So even if TB asked to take control of whole thing, I dont think others are blameless.

[@volrath__]

Emelenzia TB enjoys it, he always has been the "leader" of the group, he likes being the one in control. When he is not he gets frustrated. and takes control anyway! I think the way they have all decided to deal with TB's illness is to just carry on as normal. He even said himself, he doesn't like or want people to walk on eggshells, to treat him differently. If the group dynamic changes when someone is ill then that person is constantly reminded that they are ill and their friends have had to change how they act because of it... Co-optional things will always be hosted and ran by TB (unless he is unavailable), and I would assume they would also be retired if a time comes when he feels he is no longer able to do it...

[@BaronVonHardcharger]

I know he has been sick a long time, but I think TB is really brave for making public appearances when he is dealing with all that. Kudos.

[@Kimmyfuzzygogglepage]

He dosnt do much , I think Because Of the cemo he gets tired easily now so :(

[@polyjohn3425]

He's also been extremely public about what he's been going through, and very forward about getting tested and stuff, which is fantastic.

[@Kimmyfuzzygogglepage]

+PolyJohn he dosnt want other people to hurt as much as he does now , Incase its to late I think

[@haydong5182]

yeah fr

[@iriasu1667]

Now understand why TB does not want any photo session. Commendable for being there despite the health issue.

[@zazuch]

When I saw him post that he wasnt I was like it cant be that bad. Then I saw it this and was 100% understandable and dont blame him for not wanting photos.

[@wobblysauce]

Jenna is different also.

[@wtfisthisshit]

I just wanted to give Jirard a big hug the entirety of this video

[@harmambergen3722]

eyy like your vids :D

[@harmambergen3722]

I like your vids*

[@sambroman543]

Love your vids. Sorry about Dodgers corporate oppression

[@wtfisthisshit]

Well thanks first of all , i'm glad you are enjoying my videos. :) I was not oppressed by Dodger in any way however, on the contrary she was very nice towards me and my channel.

[@patu8010]

+Phii'shee the Khajiit "Corporate oppression" :D That's a funny goof.

[@lionblaze99]

they're not even playing blood bowl but still TB manges to roll 3 ones in a row.

[@Kevb0ardGames]

4! if it wasn't for Jesse he would have been spy again!

[@SonicKurosaki]

I thought TB was kidding about the face rash, but it just makes him look like he's blushing all the time

[@cynicalbrit]

This is about 2 weeks after it's worst point. Couple of weeks before Coxcon it was basically the worst acne you'd ever seen, all over my face, shoulders and back.

[@SonicKurosaki]

I'm sorry you had to go through that, it sounds awful, but I admire your dedication as well

[@Ellthom]

thats nothing, you should have seen my face when I was 15 years old :P

[@WFFLDealer]

Blushing? It's like his face is bleeding, but his eyes are a-ok.

[@Berthrond]

He is turning into Deadpool!

[@adrianflo6481]

looks like TB and Genna has lost some serious weight. Not too shabby at all

[@nonametobeshown]

one in a good way, one in a not so good way

[@pirrellini]

Yes, tho Tb has lost weight due to his cancer!

[@adrianflo6481]

DisregardDis I can be totally wrong but didnt tb change his diet slightly because of Genna ? otherwise whelp it a "good" side effect at least.

[@kimberlypence2615]

Is one of them sick? :(

[@adrianflo6481]

Evren Tennant Tb has been for a long time now, he talks about it from time to time.

[@Cnith]

Crendor has a natural gift for winning without any effort. Very entertaining to watch this!

[@TheWildmanden]

I love when the crowd starts chanting Crendor

[@subcombo]

The amount of respect I have for John Bain cannot be overstated. To go on a con panel in front of a large audience covered in a face rash that he was self conscious about, not only that but he is literally in all kinds of pain while speaking. This is a true man, a man who works hard and spits in the face of adversity. If I could share 10 years of my life to increase his by one year, then I would do it.

[@gagagegegigigogogugu]

Spymaster Crendor too stronk

[@manemanera]

After watching this, I now want Crendor to join a Scary game squad so when ever there is a scare, everyone else will scream and Crendor will just be like, " ahhh. that scared me." in his monotone voice X3

[@gso619]

It's always great when you've got that one REALLY literal person in the group, like Davis, just confusing everyone. Also, the odds of Crendawg being the spy 4 times in a row are just 1 in 1296, which is low, but not THAT low.

[@RavenKnightmare]

So in case you want to know while they play each round what the location is - 1-polar station 2-military base 3-amusement park 4-theater

[@Luka-ft1vv]

Get well soon TB, and remember, for every hater there's literally a thousand of us that are genuinely worried and supporting.

[@ZeusEBoy]

Good Job TB, I've been through all the chemo and radiation, it sucks, but you're strong, and kicking it's ass. On another note, it's awesome of you to go to CoxCon for your friend, I'm sure Jesse is happy to have ya!

[@CoolVids19]

TB looks like deadpool, hope he is doing better.

[@uheart2]

That would make Jesse Vanessa right?

[@Rossy167]

+s0ulzen let's be real, Jesse would be the best hooker...

[@ToriMcGrath]

Legit my first thought

[@royalrenogaming72]

Let's be positive and not say anything like that, just wish him good health going forward and support his works.

[@cassandracarlton400]

s0ulzen or Death

[@yellowspark100]

i hope TB can beat cancer again, he is a great creator and has done so much for the PC gaming consumers and Indy devs. I'm so grateful that he is striving though and still creating content

[@xester9]

Genna is looking great. Very happy for her.

[@ProNoobGamer93]

It is just amazing that Crendor wins these things by being bad at them. Makes you cheer for him even more.

[@FiendMatadorSlayerOfNoobs]

This video makes me realize that Co-Optional playing Among Us would have been utterly hysterical.

[@RozzanaRose]

"Mrs. Cox" ...I thought he meant Crendor XD

[@owenhad8221]

TB IS A TROOPER!!! Inspiration to everyone. Such a professional.

[@captaincokecan]

I am 30 but when i grow up i want to be Crendor

[@chimgrimby]

So does everyone else

[@TZamBAL]

Holy crap Genna lost some serious weight it looks like.

[@nevinzavell4207]

Man, TB my heart goes out. That is some incredible dedication to the craft. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

[@AaronCasey92]

Big fucking props to TB! He is a stone cold badass for making it all the way out there!

[@jnbeneski]

Congratulations on a great show guys! There is such a great balance of fun and professionalism in this group. TB, I can't speak for everyone else, but it means something to me personally to be able to continue to watch and enjoy your content. Jesse, thank you for putting the fans first. I know this was a lot of work for everyone involved. But trust me when I say its very much appreciated.

[@iIllupo]

Jesse is a Big man

[@cynicalbrit]

For you

[@erelde_]

When he's with his girlfriend (whom I forgot the name sorry) it's almost scary how his head is large. edit: Leila

[@kingxerocole4616]

You gotta come to Gen Con next year, TB. If you've never been, I think you'd love it.

[@chrisahrens0]

You've been spelling your name wrong all these years! You are the one true Bane.

[@iIllupo]

Indeed love you all!

[@erinixtab3568]

Genna is looking great

[@kevinwilson455]

Just...massive respect to TB for doing this going through treatment; mouth sores, face rash? I wouldn't be going out my house never mind travelling

[@kent_cowboy]

Incredibly courageous of TB to be on a panel with his face rashes from the chemo. Cudos to him!

[@berkebus]

Man. Thanks TB, for hosting. Great respect.

[@ZeKyra]

I keep coming back to these videos lately, re-watching all the things that made me happy. I miss TB.

[@Lone_Rocket]

Um... Holy crap. Genna looks way different from the last time I saw her. *Applause*

[@GennaBain]

Thank you!

[@fgfh10004]

I cannot tell you how much I fucking admire TB. No words. Except these.

[@anders_x3]

i think we all learned something today: Crendor is always the spy

[@siliarba]

For selfish reasons I can not wait to see the end part of the live lounge just to see myself on stage. Until I see that it'll still feel like a dream to me

[@Blechhower]

TB on the shuffle "IS THIS MY FAULT?" - why yes Big B.

[@JohnnyOstad]

Thank you for uploading these, it's a shame I couldn't enjoy these live even thought I was at the convention.

[@evilmarc]

Genna kicking ass and taking names! Looking fly too.

[@GennaBain]

Thank you dear

[@ThatnerdStella]

going back through these vods. god i miss your TB and also like god bless you looking at these vods more carefully i can see how many times you had to have been feeling just awful fresh out of a chemo session and you just said fuck it. im gonna do this. you didnt have too. but you did for us. thanks TB miss you buddy

[@Elswind]

After 3 years, i still rewatch this

[@vintagegamenight]

Jirard's giggling was one of the highlights of this video. I love all of these people so much.

[@agators212]

i love these guys so much...i love their interactions, chemistry and just personalities together

[@VaporSulla]

I saw Genna and my jaws dropped. Good job girl!

[@bapo224]

I know right, I didn't recognize her until she started talking D:

[@SkinDiamondFan]

me neither, had to google if it actually was the genna and just someone else. Did you guys see the before and after picture? its crazy.

[@iCrowLink]

I didn't recognize her either, I had to look in the description if they mentioned all the guests that were there and luckily they did, I was surprised to read it was Genna, it's amazing. ;o

[@GennaBain]

Thanks Andrea

[@VaporSulla]

Genna Bain Senpai noticed me!

[@_Hazel_0.0]

TB truly is amazing. I love these guys. We really appreciate all you do guys!

[@kael13]

I only came for the Saturday, so thanks for this! Was good to see you guys!

[@tomaszskowronski1406]

3:25 After all those years, i just want to point out that the answer "Crendor" to "Who the spy is" was given three times. Crendor was summoned thrice, and thrice the spy he was. Prophecy was fullfiled.

[@JoshSweetvale]

Crendor - The Perry the Platypus of the Coxsphere.

[@GonzoDuke]

Mad props to TB. The dude is amazing.

[@octosquidy4759]

crendor getting that shit 3 times in a row is a 1/216 chance unless someone was really fucking up their job and i think thats hilarious

[@kelamclaughlin5934]

im pretty sure that it's always 1/6 th of a chance

[@johnathandoe6892]

Yes, butting getting 3 in a row would be 1/216. Assuming the deck was shuffled properly.

[@Xboxwiistation]

Actually that's a common misconception with stats. For him to get it once is 1/6, while three times in a row is 1/216 or 1/6^3. That's because the first time, he would have a 1/6 against a 5/6 chance, which is 1 in 6 different outcomes with the rest him having drawn a non spy card, then a 1 in 36 different possible outcomes (because he would have had to draw the card the first time and again the second for that to be a branching path), then a 1 in 216 possible outcomes following the same logic. So while technically he has a 1/6th chance of just getting it, the chances of him getting it 3 times in a row is different. *Edit* TL;DR. Stats is a bitch.

[@shiroxyfy4250]

Well technically, he got spy 4 times in a row, because jesse took his 4th round card, which was spy again XD

[@BlueWoWTaylan]

He actually got it 4 times in a row...last round, Jesse stole his card :D

[@ThisIsLiin]

I knew Jesse was the spy, because he only looked at his card for a second.

[@NekoiNemo]

I love TB's expression when Crendor admits in the second round. An "I'm going to fucking strangle you in your sleep" expression really suits TB XD

[@SULosk]

It's clear to see TB is in pain, hang in there bud. TB is the Hero KZbin needs and dissevers

[@ArvangathVGM]

ALL HAIL CRENDOR, OUR SLOTH KING

[@OneTrueWindfall]

when jesse said "you're no hardy boy" I desperately wanted TB to just yell "SWANTON!!!"

[@psypsy751]

After 3 wins, Crendor used a proxy to win a fourth round! True spy-master.

[@Erikzors]

"He talked to a girl" made me laugh so freaking loud!

[@RazielIgor]

I love this one, I hope they were still playing live tabletop games.

[@acassiopeia6439]

Being there in person for this was amazing. I can't wait for Coxcon 2017.

[@smokefire3]

Just noticed, genna has slimmed down! GENNA HOW!? and how much you shifted? cause damn, thats impressive (also, tell us your secrets! seriously i need to shift weight pronto)

[@JoriDiculous]

Follow her twitter :)

[@Fusomeister]

Stop eating garbage, is a good place to start. There are no secrets.

[@charlottef2832]

she lost over 150lbs I think, but she posts a lot on her twitter, I think she just eats a lot of protein and low fat/sugar and started exercising more - she goes on a lot of walks/hikes. Going for walks can be a good place to start, then upgrade to jogging or work outs (though pointless if you don't change your eating habits).

[@mediocredude2264]

shhh, it's a secret

[@smokefire3]

Char F See my Issue is not eating to much, its because I seriously screwed my metabolism, cause for years I was in a stage where I would maybe eat once a day? (medication i was on was messing with me) so my body went into starvation Mode, so when I came off the meds, When i began to get my appetite back, most of what I ate became fat and the sugary drinks I had did not help, but since cutting those Out I lost a bit and stopped putting as much on, but exercise is not good for me at the moment cause I am having issues with my lungs (after effects from double lung pneumonia asthma and now bronchitis) so my lungs are in a bad way, so I have been considering just getting an audiobook downloaded and just going for a walk, but its a case of "how far is too far?" because I can hardly cover 2 miles without coughing and then spewing mucus up.

[@hkay93]

This day will go down in the histories as the day in which a mighty Crendorian feat was achieved! The story shall be told to the Crenbabies, and they shall tell it to their Crenbabies when the time comes!

[@solsthrash2603]

I love Jesse's extreme headshaking it cracks me up everytime xD

[@TheSquareheadgamer]

fuck th was not lying about that rash.... tough break :(

[@tokioobsessee20]

We miss you TB. We really miss you

[@roji556]

That outro is fucking gold. I need many remixes of it.

[@Roman8341]

TB you badass! Thanks for doing this. I can't imagine too many others who would've.

[@1337NooX]

TB speaking through his teeth made me go "that was a baller Severus Snape impression" more than once!

[@acassiopeia6439]

Also, Big JC, we need a ballpit for CoxCon 2017 ;)

[@NEROandBOLoveYou]

@5:30 Jirard is just trying to wrap his mind around this game, I love him!

[@Stainless404]

The sound is so good! Bless you Staff guys

[@missdeadite9696]

I hope TB really liked that positive comment book. I hope you get better TB, all the love from a fan in Canada.

[@ChristmasCrustacean1]

TB reminds me a lot of my little brother, I really want to give him a hug.

[@drow_Lilith9940]

Tb and genna are always adorable together

[@greendaytomd96]

this is awsome the chemistry on stage is great.

[@QuatroXEspada]

TB looks like me after a 2 hours sparring session, not the red face(that's probably just a side effect from medication or a case of Roseacea) I mean gritting teeth and face looking like he was in an immense amount of pain. Fucking champ for still doing this.

[@mrlurid]

"Everyone knows the elevator song" Hey, it's called Spanish Flea.

[@daniellebittner13]

How? HOW!? This is incredible! Of course it's freakin Crendor XD

[@FrogLord33]

"Here is the thing"- Crendor 2016

[@Ispharel]

This and the Secret Hitler games were so funny to watch. Very funny panel in general. Great atmosphere in the crowd too. Me and my GF were talking to several people around us and it was a blast :D

[@ELVIStheDotA]

Teach me your secrets Spymaster Crendor.

[@Carnidwarf]

there was literally a 0.00077% chance for crendor to be the spy 4 times in a row. BUY A LOTTERY TICKET EVERYONE

[@ScorpDK]

RNG at its finest. And I didn't even notice Jesse's sleight of hand.

[@dstubby82]

Very heart warming to see everyone having such a good time. :)

[@Ryhnarch]

Is the video cut short for anyone else? I was showing this to my brother and the video is only 28:47 long now. It is cutting out right before the third round now.

[@manocara8666]

Aye. Video stops at 28:47 for me to. It says it is 50:21 long, but it only goes up to 28:47.

[@somenerd3194]

I'm glad I'm not the only one getting this! Does anyone know a way to fix it?

[@UthersonL]

Same here, regardless of changes in video quality or adding a timestamp ("&t=") past that point to the URL

[@Arraxis_Denacia]

I imagine that asking more open-ended questions would be better for rooting out the spy for this.

[@ChristStopper]

Fuck TB is a champ, poor bastard did not look ok and still had the balls and loyalty to the crew and the fans to get up there and give it his best. What an absolute gun.

[@ExvarnMax]

TB is a Bad Ass, I could only imagine the pain he is enduring for the fans.

[@PlebNC]

Lessons learned: - TB's worse at shuffling than me. - Crendor would be great at sapping sentries.

[@test-hy5vk]

YES I WAITED FOR THIS...since last year

[@broomyjag]

Why was TB talking through his teeth like that? I guess the rash made it hurt to talk? :(

[@cynicalbrit]

I had chemo-induced mouth sores on my tounge and inside my cheeks, making it very painful to talk. This was the case the entire convention.

[@adrianflo6481]

We are very thankful you came still, wouldn't be the same with you :)

[@stephenpettersson990]

I don´t really think you have the need to hear how fucking badass you are for pulling through all this shit, but you deserve to hear it. Go TB, you champion!

[@hobanagerik]

+TotalBiscuit, The Cynical Brit You seem to be count well. Wish I had the time to attend.

[@hobanagerik]

+hobanagerik *coping

[@Nysteria]

It's impossible to see what the locations are just from the video x~x It seems they got annotations on the big screen, why don't we have those on the video?

[@drow_Lilith9940]

Because the big JC wants you to suffer

[@volrath__]

I dont think the crowd new the location, just who was the spy. Which is easy to see because it is a different type of card...

[@Nysteria]

Mark is that so... The name "Crendor" only showed up in the video at the end of the round when the camera went slightly up, but I didnt see it screen when they were showing the cards, so I can't really know for sure... or did I simply miss it?

[@volrath__]

Liya Rin No they never displayed the name of who was the spy. The crowd just saw what we saw, so they were reacting to the colors of the card. The one player that has a different looking card to the others is the spy...

[@Nysteria]

38:23 look up at the big screen, they did.

[@Deez21467]

If Jirard asked the fighting question to the spy and the spy would have said "yes", wouldn't everyone have known that person was the spy? Why was it such a bad question? If you ask things from other places and the spy responds wrong you are 100% sure right?

[@thefrostbee4182]

''skyfall? more like SKKKYYYFFFAAALLLLLLLLL'' - Dunkey 2016

[@thatpedanticcommenter5847]

OMG I almost didn't recognize Crendor until he started speaking! I'm not used to him with that large a beard!

[@biohunter4457]

at first i tought it was a video glitch on tb's face but then i realised hes the new deadpool
