@@msytb I mean NLs bans made sense, for the Spiderman trap

[@msytb]

@@matikkkii3482 He doesn't understand how to play his bans as traps, though. At 6:00 his opponent uses Kirsten Dunst as his FIRST move, thus being ban immune, to go into Melancholia. From this point on, his opponent is subject to his bans, including Dunst and Raimi, which would make it optimal for him to actively move into Spiderman and spring the trap you say he built it for on him, but he doesn't catch it whatsoever.

[@Hurricaneweaver]

I still have no idea what the hell is happening but every victory is as Pog as the last.

[@turdbergler1280]

well the whole point of the game is to connect movies with other movies via actors and directors. It starts with a random movie each day and each player takes a turn to name a movie that shares an actor or director with the previous movie (the connecting person's name is written between the big colorful boxes saying the title of the movies) each connecting person is only allowed to be used 3 times total leading to strategies like being the first to say a relatively unknown actor, leading your opponent to name a second movie with them in it, and finally naming the last movie as something that basically only stars that one person (what NL calls a punch out sometimes) leading them to be unable to follow up within the 20 second time limit thus winning the game. To assist you in play there are 3 life lines, 15 second which obviously adds 15 seconds to the timer, cast which shows the player that uses it the cast of the current movie in the chain, and finally skip which allows the player to skip their turn passing the current movie back to the person that played it (keeping in mind that if both players skip it will result in a draw so skip at your own risk as it puts you in a situation where the game can be drawn easily, and play at your own risk as if a player skips you will have to deal with whatever you sent at them meaning you can strand yourself by accident). Unfortunately this is one of the few games NL is good at along side issac due to his absurd knowledge of every movie and actor ever leading to at this point a very Pog like 80% win rate.

Insane battles this episode, holy. Even if all stream snipping is obvsly inevitable, sucks a bit since it always opens space to question the opponent's legitimacy, like the dude with 11 losses being one of his best battles so far, or the last guy turning his W into a emotional L. (Not saying all chatters (or even that particular guy) are on suspicious activities, but it always makes it feel more likely they might be) And that one guy was purely disgusting behaviour but that's completely outside the usual stuff

[@fondour]

So that was me. I didn't stream snipe and ran into NL on pure chance. Didn't turn his stream back on until after it was over. It was the middle of a slow workday but I still had to get some work done so I couldn't risk going another 50+ rounder.
