Frogger - The Board Game | Ashens & Guru Larry

[@rockerseven]

0:50 "The water is acid." Ah, so after all these years, we finally find out that Frogger takes place in Flint, MI.

[@samholdsworth3957]

Hyuck

[@StephenBlane]

You CHEATED again Larry! 17:07 you rolled a 1 and moved your frog down a space. Then your suspiciously convenient nose bleed created sufficient distraction to poor Stuart who continued to allow you to take an extra 1 move after your intermission at 17:50. Caught red handed, or should I say red nosed.

[@kiers4944]

although it did help Stuart run over Larry's frog so maybe he planned it on poor Larry ;)

[@StephenBlane]

True. However it could have been a more insidious plot to lure Stuart into a false sense of security. We will never know.

[@EnforcerX71]

Larry's never said he plays fair...

[@15-Peter-20]

Mr_StephenB w Well spotted ! Shame Larry is a knob

[@iidirectxii7545]

Still waiting for Hollywood to make a multi million dollar movie of Frogger. When it happens (one day it will, you'll see) I hope it's in live action, no cheating with Toy Story CGI. I want a guy in frog outfit and everything.

[@JonatasAdoM]

[@LovelymaidenJacki]

reminds me of fairy tale theatre may have had a frog man movie before seemed like or some company-frog price was called di you see that..thats your dream come true already maybe?

[@theholygamer969]

I think all I really want to see is a remake of Frogger 97, Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge, and a third Frogger that expands on the previous two. At the very LEAST, I'll take a Steam port of the existing ones.

[@93Kessler]

You two need to do way more of these. Love your content Larry, but the board game stuff is great to even just listen to. Cheers for bringing another one out!

[@Antiformed]

The logical progression of this crossover is Guru Larry, Ashens, and Yahtzee play Dungeons & Dragons.

[@NaviciaAbbot]

Basic Dungeons & Dragons

[@JimBeezie]

I unrealistically hope you two never run out of old video-board-games.

[@artistwithouttalent]

Don't worry about the tangents, Larry, I could listen to you for hours.

[@susanfit47]

Konami's 1981 arcade smash Frogger became the first videogame turned into a board game when the upright cabinet and the table-top variation appeared in the same year. In the spin-off, players had to navigate three frogs to the opposite side of the board using the numbers shown on the 6-ixed dice. It was one of a number of videogame-inspired board games created by Milton Bradley Games. Others included Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man. Donkey Kong, Zaxxon, Berzerk, Defender II, Centipede, Jungle Hunt, Pitfall!, Turbo, Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Tetris, Sonic the Hedgehog, Street Fighter II, Donkey Kong Country, and Pokémon Master Trainer III.

[@favoritemustard3542]

That would make quite the playlist 👍GG👍

[@mgunter]

18:22, you let him move twice. He moved one before the bloody nose, but you let him move again after.

[@stingersplash]

mgunter yep i noticed that, then ashens rolled 1 and killed him...so karma i guess.

[@MartKencuda]

Please tell me you don't actually own a "You Mad Bro?" shirt.

[@coyoteartist]

singular of dice is die. if the game has one cube, it's a die, however the action of throwing one cube is called throwing the dice.

[@Yenastuundepaspris55]

Maybe it’s not that the frog dies in water, but that after dodging a bunch of stuff, when he jumps into water he’s like ”Screw this, I’m going downstream!”.

[@MarquisSmith]

I think Chris Packham argued that too many resources were going towards the conservation of pandas, at the expense of numerous other equally endangered species, simply because they're cute. Although your idea of him simply being misanthrope with a hate-boner for bears is funnier.

[@sphinx3r]

Thanks for posting the full playthrough. I know most viewers can only pay attention for 200ms, but personally when I sit down to watch two men playing 30 year old childrens board games, I wanna watch the whole thing. :) Also, good job on using the nosebleed as a diversion to get an extra roll Larry. ;)

[@JimmysALilGirl]

Oh, the lols when the "British Teeth" ad popped up in the middle of this video. I thought it was in bad taste before, but on this vid it's hilarious.

[@AfterDark33]

Solidified water, or as we call it in the trade "ice". And "Why is this bacon so cold??" Are two of the greatest quotes created by Ashens and his posse

I know a guy who came with a spider inside. He sat on a bird to catch the spider. He sat on a cat to catch the bird. It's just absurd.

[@lostevesy]

Ashens mentioning the frog horror film just reminds me of all those b movies about random killer things, tomatoes, whales, mice, spiders, leaves. All they would do is cut between a video of spiders and screaming people running away and they would do that with a never ending list of bizarre things.

[@gwendolynwestwind9764]

There is a film called Strays from the 90s (I think) that does this with housecats. Basically it's just 30 cats wandering around the set while the soundtrack tries to convince you this is scary. There is a scene where the cats supposedly kill someone and you can clearly tell someone is just dropping cats on him from just barely off camera.

[@DeaDGoD_XIV]

When they started talking about a frog horror film I instantly thought of the Elvira pinball table Scared Stiff which references "Night of the Leapers" which is a great title for a non-existent B movie about frogs

[@DeaDGoD_XIV]

"Night of the Leapers" is a great way of referencing both "Frogs" and "Night of the Lepus", the latter being a movie about killer rabbits

"Breathe underwater" Frogs don't have gills, they cannot do this. Frogs are not fully amphibious creatures, being obligate water-dwellers as infants and becoming obligate air breathers as adults.

[@Majora1988]

Frogs absorb Oxygen through their skin, they don't actually breathe underwater, but they can live underwater indefinitely.

[@StriderOwO]

Maybe the water is so polluted the frog suffocates in it? Or the river flows so fast when the frog touches it, it just gets instantly vaporized.

[@ElNeroDiablo]

As MatPat theorised when he covered the video game a few years ago - Frogger is an Aussie Rainforest TREE Frog, not a bog-standard (heh) one like around ponds and rivers.

[@jackmcslay]

I think the river is full of hungry piranhas that eat the frogs the moment they touch the water.

I'm so glad for this! I love these board game videos.

[@scottaw1981]

I like that flip board option, pretty much finalizes things.

[@d2factotum]

Another extra rule the game should have: once a frog has landed on a fly and thus "eaten" it, the log should be turned over to the non-fly state. There were a lot of flies on the river by the end of this game!

You now wonder what other video game based board games are out there.

[@OnlyEpicEmber]

Yay! More Ashen and Guru Larry board game shenanigans!

[@rockerseven]

I would think that you can only move the cars/bacon that are the same color as your frogs for strategic defense purposes.

[@Femaiden]

I figured that frogger dies when he jumps in the water because there's alligators in the water that want to eat him. that's why instead, he has to jump across their backs into the frog berths. and then sometimes a lady frog appears in one and he gets bonus points for mating with her. . .

[@UsingGorillaLogic]

The reason Frogger is avoiding the water IS because the water is so fast. The idea I imagine is that he is trying to make it past to river into the wilderness where he could possibly get closer to more calm waters (such as a pond). While frogs are resilient swimmers, they tend to prefer ponds, and calmer streams than aggressive rivers. As for why he dies, ehhhh video game logic mostly but essentially it is him getting carried away and possibly smashed into logs and rocks.

[@millerh4500]

Pop station gambling site? Now THAT'S something I'd waste 100's of dollars on over two months, then realize the worthlessness of the games and resent.

[@JoLiKMC]

I gotta say, this is an interesting take on the Konami classic. One variation to the rules I'd make, though, is that if a player is forced to move forward into a space occupied by a car, that frog is forfeit, as per the arcade game. I might also add that you can't go in the river without a log... but those fly spaces would make the game as long as _Monopoly_, I reckon! Also. I really missed this series. Thank you for bringing it back. :3

[@DarkfableTheChaotic]

[@RagnarokiaNG]

this is quite competent if not too impressive for a boardgame, does the job even if too short.

[@Landfall364]

... Are you sure that you're not supposed to be sent back to the start if the frog side of the die or a fly makes you land on a water space without a log on it? I mean, I'm certain you know the rules better than I do but that just seems so bizarre.

[@beehivehurricaine]

[@Mikero001]

Stuart: Who's going to build a motorway in the middle of a swamp, that's a really bad idea isn't it? Larry: A bit like Outrun where they build a motorway next to the sea, I can't think of anything bad happening there. The Dutch: We're going to build an entire country in the swamp next to the sea.

The movie "Frogs" was very deceptively marketed. Despite its name and its various promotional materials, it features no killer frogs. Other than an animated frog during the end credits, various other creatures do all the killing within the film.

Nutkins had a pet otter as a child, and well...things didn't go too well. Don't forget he also hosted Animal Magic with the legend that was Johnny Morris.

[@deadbydayinblack]

It was an otter that did done the deed. Incidently another usless fact on missing fingers was that James Doohan ( scotty from TOS) lost part of his finger in a Bren gun accident and so they had to use hand double at points in the series. A usless fact

[@ststephen]

[@ZefVolk]

[@KarjamP]

No one said that the frog died when they jump into the water. It's just that jumping into it greatly inconvenients it since that's not where it wanta to go. Evidently, once a frog jumps into the water, it's very difficult for it to jump out. This is reflected in the loss of a life.
