Some say Sully was playing this too, but died in the set up and had to watch the whole thing in silence

[@alexneff]

From under the table

[@SlamDancinMoogle]

this is now myt official headcanon for any BGC where Sully is not present, lol

[@Clasteau]

Like OG Traveller, kewl!

[@Mastergeeka]

Aww No Sullivan, who’s gonna get drunk and summon the all the aliens now?!

[@Dr-Engineer]

Extremely disappointed and my day is ruined

[@alexneff]

He is under the table

[@Cadaveralien]

Well, this is a prototype version, final version will include a sullivan [drunk] and a ultra rare Isaac [slimed]

[@Mastergeeka]

@@CadaveralienI can’t remember, has anyone else other than Isaac been slimed?

[@GrimlanderMG]

I wonder if Sully, Tom and Isaac have sworn off Nemesis after bad experiences?

[@ace.fury.]

Legend has it that if you listen closely on a still night, you can hear Isaac leaving the slime room.

[@MeonLights]

This version would have been better for him since you can't be quiet anyway 😅

[@thestorythusfar911]

@@ace.fury. lol!

[@urapooper362]

John being on the brink of death for like most of the game made it really hilarious

[@fusion7246]

John punching a xenomorph to death is the most space marine shit ever 😂💪👽

[@edwardkelber8878]

Poor Jon he was playing PVE while everyone else was playing PVP

[@Drjos]

I assume Isaac declined the invitation to play, but somehow still got slimmed when this was recorded

[@themightyredemption]

Isaac hasnt been on the main channel in a very long time now.

[@boodesultan12]

@@themightyredemption any reason as to why?

[@ashg4624]

​@@boodesultan12Honestly, I'd only be guessing, but he seemed more like one of Adam's friends he made during his time managing Draughts than a collaborator with the channel itself and it is probably less complicated for him to not starr as much in NRB content going forward

[@mmrow1634]

Laurie and Holly just drive past his house and throw a balloon full of jelly at him to fulfil the spirit.

[@CrastinateLikeAPro]

Jon had "reluctant main hero" energy in this video starting with his melee combat in the medbay. I love it.

[@jasonburke9144]

The player who triggered an attack is the one affected by the attack. It's only during the event phase where the first player would take the attack in the event in which there are more than two people in one room. Sorry, John. You got hosed.

[@andrew_l1900]

Yeah I was thinking that

[@mattszimanski3493]

On the other side though, I'm pretty sure he healed too much on that medpack. So it evens out.

[@Turbo_1701]

To be fair, they're using the prototype rules so it may have been different in their copy.

[@JCPRuckus]

​@@Turbo_1701 - Seems unlikely that they'd unbalance a rule that already worked in previous editions. It's pretty broken that later players can use earlier players as shields in a way that can't be done in reverse. And it also doesn't make sense thematically. If an animal/creature attacks because it was attracted to noise/motion, it's going to attack the thing that's moving around and making noise.

[@martinteece8983]

Also new game so could be the case rules changed from prior ones to make more deadly.

[@talonsaurn5764]

Jon Unraveled, then reravled and rallied... with the support of everyone else.. this was an epic....

[@ricardovillon1189]

The original Nemesis was one of the videos that got me into NRB. I'm really glad to see it again.

[@RhinoNZ]

Nemesis without Captain Bumblefuck just doesn't seem legal

[@charlienoble7862]

Something is missing....

[@scotthamilton9515]

An almost 3 and a half hour Board Game Club?! Yes please

[@robertabugelis3962]

Once to enjoy watching awake. And again to play while I sleep to count sheep. Very nice!

[@SapSapient]

I absolutely love this NRB taking on big, messy games like this. I imagine it is a significant increase in work for them, with all the rules, setup and so on. But it is so fun to watch.

[@NewAngelesWeb]

John being the unluckiest and luckiest player is so hilarious

[@javi_op4339]

Ken have just won me with that Command and Conquer reference, didn't expect that niche reference in NRB. Great to say the least!

[@Dire_Pants]

Ooooh! LARva. I kept hearing lava. I was very confused how the surgery room cures lava.

[@MattEland]

Ask Anakin Skywalker

[@markpolo97]

Me too. Realized it was "larva" about 45 minutes in.

[@GniewnyMedrzec]

Fight fire with fire. It was on fire anyway 😆

[@jaumetm3130]

if you trigger a hazard simbol in a room with someone with the firstplayer token, the alien attacks the one who triggered the attack, not the other one.

[@mattszimanski3493]

These massive games are my favorite NRB videos. I know they can't do them often but they're always such fun to watch. And poor John, who never trusts anyone, gets stabbed in the back by EVERYONE. Cinema.

[@calamitycodified]

I was crossing my fingers for Jon to win all throughout the Egg Run

[@benbarnes8273]

You forgot the rule about securing corridors, would have slowed down the massive influx of aliens

[@ryokunn1]

I was wondering why they never did that.

[@raider1o295]

Reinforcing Corridors.

[@obsidiansiriusblackheart]

Jon, the most unlucky marine alive... But he _is_ alive! Ken, you bastard 🤣

[@ninjaec]

Yes yes yes. Finally! And after this one: more Nemesis! Just too bad it's not the same lineup that you had with nemesis and lock down.

[@zodiac7287]

Canonically they all perished in the last nemesis game.

[@mrmaybe79]

I'm almost positive the campaign said you can use those characters in this version.

[@remraf1984]

Issac is just chilling at home covered in slime

[@mart1n287]

I think we need a full trilogy playthrough of all 3 Nemesis games

[@MattEland]

I'd love to see Lockdown or even some expansions to the original

[@lieeeleeee]

@@MattElandthey’ve played lockdown!

[@ExactApproachLOL]

Homebrew together all three as a Nemesis Legacy game? Sounds amazing.

[@bcdo88]

@@ExactApproachLOL This idea exists in the boardgamegeek forums, combining the two first games with the ability to bring benefits and consequences from one game to the other. But on this idea, all the sides on both games are played, so it is 4 games in one campain.

[@StevenColgan]

@@bcdo88where?? You got a link? That sounds awesome!

[@MadnessInLivingColor]

The Jon saga was absolutely wild!

[@jindmand]

Some things you can't betray. For everything else, there is Holly.

[@Ariurotl]

"So how many features do we want in this game?" "Yes."

[@AzureImperium7701X]

That’s always the type of game I like. I don’t care about time to play, I like complexity.

[@lucaro94]

What a gameplay! Glad tha Jon was forced to play the hero lol. But please, next Nemesis gameplay bring the original crew!

[@kbub1234]

I love that every nemesis game is so similar (such a good base for a game in general) but with enough differences to make them all very fun sequels to each other

[@Kvalln]

Jon's No Good Very Bad Day

[@2006louisb]

This is probably the only channel where I look forward to the ad read 😂 hope to see more Nemesis in future, always super entertaining

[@JudasBoB270]

It’s Tuesday again! Get on board for Nemesis! 😁 Edit: When will they realise Holly is the worst choice for a cooperative game 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

[@lucone2937]

Game Night!

[@hannah2729]

she's arguably the *best* choice for us as viewers because she just can't resist the sweet temptation of treachery, i love seeing Holly in co-op games. but trusting her, as a fellow player? straight up naive.

[@fabiosamuco2561]

I just watched ALIENS for the first time 2 days ago, now im binge watching the BGC Nemesis series and i finally got the opening line reference. I Love No Rolls Barred!! and Nemesis!! and ALIENS!!!!

[@fabiosamuco2561]

im 7 and a half minutes in, there's so many refrences i love it!!!

[@warrensmith5066]

Stumbling across board game masterpieces of the original nemesis introduced me to board games. Purchased that and my finances have never been the same since 😂

[@raoufjigsaw]

I was rooting so hard for Jon. Great run.

[@hannah2729]

every game of Nemesis you've ever played on the channel and on patreon is a straight up masterpiece. i know they must be super laborious to make but these huge, intricate games are some of my favourites to watch.

[@Farewell24001]

Now, if watching this channel has taught me anything, social reads are never reliable. Having said that, it took less than 30 minutes to immediately suspect that someone is actively sabotaging the other players.

[@BoptimusPrime]

@norollsbarred Ken is my hero. I used to turn up the computer speakers to max volume when my brother was sleeping in and just click in circles in red alert just to blare "ACK-KNOWLEDGED" over and over again LMAO

[@tay-dor7147]

The Intruders must all be fans of Skyrim with all the knee injuries.

[@gingerbread6640]

Jon playing nemesis is something I never knew I needed

[@evo_is_confused]

An episode with Jon is a good episode

[@Frogger601]

Doors confused me at first as well. But basically when a door symbol is shown on a corridor, it is connected to the room that revealed it (basically put the door on the edge of the room and corridor). Then any intruders that spawn in that corridor will be on the other side of the door. Meaning you can't Burst onto that corridor, and when the intruders try to Move or Onslaught, you destroy the door (remove to back to it's pile) and cancel the Movement/Onslaught. Also unlike in both Nemesis and Lockdown, players can't place new doors themselves. If a door wasn't shown on a corridor when discovered, there is no door there.

[@talonsaurn5764]

Looking so forward to this, even if the bumbling Sullivan isn't about

[@alexneff]

He's under the table

[@InanDante]

I love how passionate Jon always gets. Always fun to see him in a high stakes game. 2:59:27 😂

[@morkmeatshield5373]

Note to NRB, don't invite Ken where betrayal or sabotage is part of the game.

[@natemorse8047]

I've been looking forward to this all week! Missing Isaac, but I'm sure whatever he's up to at the moment, he's doing it through a layer of slime. And while Sully may not be playing, at least we got another solid ad read. Hope he got his tea. And Tom is likely heeding the siren call of science, wherever he may be. Only starting and Holly's already nailed it with that cryosleep joke, and the game itself looks like it's had some neat implementations. Is it sad that I'm excited about the corridors and the backpack system? No, definitely not, I'm definitely still a cool guy.

[@brettman-e9r]

I loved watching this one. Was rooting for John the whole time.

[@alexsis1778]

I found it kind of funny that John was panicing so much about taking fire damage in the landing room. But he has heavy armor that lets him just ignore fire damage.

[@andrewmurphy5055]

Instant classic. Hard luck Jon. The lack of team spirit is what hurt the most

[@allgreatfictions]

I know that Lidl is a supermarket, but as an Australian, I have no context for how much of an insult "Aliens, but from Lidl" is. Or is it a compliment?

[@57thorns]

It is an insult, Lidl is really cheap....

[@swerdnal]

Closest would be kinda like saying "Aliens, but from The Reject Shop"

[@mel-burnes]

i think in this context it simply means "off-brand Aliens"

[@Thesecretvalley]

Not nearly as much as saying it's from Wish frankly. Lidl is cheap but good quality for the price.

[@lieeeleeee]

It’s like saying aliens from Aldi

[@ThePebblor]

So good!!! 😂 Loved this playthrough, and it really helped to get the feel of the relentless onslaught of aliens in this new nemesis. Thanks for sharing your fun 👍👍

[@Blueyes_silverfox]

I'm super proud of Jon for making it as far as his did before his meltdown. (No spoilers you knew it was coming). You have progressed wonderfully sir! I still remember the first Jon mental break I witnessed, Unfathomable. What was yours? Lol 😂

[@k1ngadazmus]

This has been one of my favourite ever episodes. Great work!

[@Alex-mf8qm]

I was so excited when I saw the Gamefound update and even more excited when I saw that this was being played. Love this game, excited to play the trilogy and loved this prototype play through. Hope we get another video in the future with the same group so Jon can get revenge on Ken, or see Ken execute his fully dastardly vision of dropping the eggs for fun.

[@steveskew1097]

Thank you SO MUCH for doing another chonky game, I love when you guys do these bigger games!!!!

[@A_N1ne]

The Second Nemesis is how I found you guys, all three of your playthroughs are my favourite videos you've made. I hope you'll play this again, maybe with Sully, Isaac, and Tom to bring back the original crew for another adventure

[@Brodysseus]

Nemesis? All right! Wait. Aren't these usually 2 parters? Where's the "Part 1" in the title? *checks runtime* ...oh this is gonna be a good one!

[@Cosmic_Gorilla]

10 minutes in and Ken bringing up Tanya from C+C popped me, what a reference.

[@13ane]

Brilliant video, so fun. This got me hyped to bring out my copy of Nemesis and herd the cats to get together to play it hahah. I know you've probably got your camera setup sorted but this type of game is perfect for an additional camera pointing at the board from about head height and angle, maybe zoomed in on the location of the board where the action is happening. Maybe a bit too much extra work, but it would elevate this type of game where there's dramatic action to zoom into on the board.

[@primemotion2]

That was an incredible string for John from beginning to the end!

[@jeffa6841]

My name is Jeff... really strange sensation to have tv people speak directly to me.

So...and I may be nit picking but if there's no oxygen in rooms, wouldn't fires in those rooms extinguish? Should be a rule for that when that happens, I would think.
