MCDM Plays Codenames Ep. 11

[@ncjake8916]

"The Teacher, the Witch, and the Ambulance" had me cracking up

[@verdantmistral442]

Okay, so TNT did awesome with the Ambient insight. But OD did awesome with his sudden, "wait... why would it take it so long for him to match something with eagle?" Definitely a team win on that one.

[@bobfornever1]

Matt: "OD would never be that lude on stream like that" OD: "Really...."

[@FacelessJester351]

The best part is you can see when they're going through the list they get to "Nut, a nut doesn't have a shaft" *OD's eyebrow raises* "A chick doesn't have a shaft" *OD smirks*

[@theAV8R]

@@FacelessJester351 That's friggin' hilarious.

[@seancravens5366]

1:06:26 the camera prepares us for the discovery that Tom, not tom, is actually psychic.

[@Bastit3hman]

I love how you also hear OD prime him with "Ambient Music".

[@shreknet]

@@Bastit3hman OD is the best co pilot for Codenames.

[@drewcipher]

Tom not Tom is the new official king of codenames

[@toddchristiansen1441]

I love the way Anna and Lars fight like siblings. Very wholesome.

[@z-beeblebrox]

Anna being salty about Runningback - Socks, and Lars being salty about 300 - Pass was pretty hilarious

[@nikolagrubor8515]

The big twist on 'ambient' was brilliant!

[@Xenoman14]

That was the probably the best game of Codenames that I've ever witnessed.

[@Seth9809]

Whch one?

[@xuetheviewer3897]

This was probably the best Codenames game of the year, though honorable mention goes to "Superlaser".

[@smrhansen]

Any idea which one was the one with Superlaser?

[@Alex-fn2hl]

The psychic powers on display in the episode were impressive.

[@cftug]

Apparently nobody at this table's read The Silver Chair, the fourth Narnia book.

[@fakjbf3129]

Or the Magician's Nephew, where the uncle is a magician/scientist

[@commandercorner5575]

Yeah, Narnia was ripe with potential. The mythological creatures in the series are pulled from greek mythology; centaurs, satyrs, griffins, etc. That clue was gold.

[@Eckendenker]

Man this game is so much harder in english In german you go nuts with compound-words and quite often do 3-4 word clues.

[@Eckendenker]

wich also means people go into the tank waaaay longer

[@Jeff55369]

15:45 dragon heart is a name of a movie.

[@stevenklinden]

Yeah, I thought that was what he was going for.

[@CaptainDCap]

@@stevenklinden I thought 'heart' meant both the movie title and 'middle of the board'

[@smrhansen]

O'D talking Matt out of Whale and Loch Ness. He truly is the King of Codenames.

[@RoboBoddicker]

Then he tricked Anna into Contract. Dude was out for blood lol

[@Nozdormu1982]

The look on Lars face when everything was going down this game is priceless :P.

[@natangelmen]

I love watching y'all play codenames. I need more.

[@TheNeatwork]

This is my first video seeing OD and something about him is insanely likable.

[@CoachEd]

I looove the new overlay for the codenames. Thanks for always working to better the content

[@MightySheep]

I probably wouldnt have guessed eagle and row at the end because when you think of those 2 words the first thing that comes into my mind is the big bird formations / migrations. So formation would tie it together but some of the other ones were quite hard.

[@DnDOldGuard]

Anyone else love how dead inside Colville looks when using his poker face!

[@EakEmk]

We need more Dune!

[@meccanised]

I for sure thought it was Deep "Forest" on ambient. Well done Tom!!

[@batmanofficial6843]

This made me laugh my ass off the whole way through. I would love if more of the codenames streams made their way to KZbin

[@andrewluciana8942]

man i was 100% convinced "shaft" was to recall Richard Roundtree's character and how many "chicks" loved him

[@Xsuh]

Same.

[@citylifechurchlivestreamin7160]

Matt, stop staring into my soul!

[@robertvk1814]

52:55 Love that Mark pointed out that three points make a triangle. (FYI this is true for any three points unless perhaps they're in a straight line)

[@dfgsfhghgsf]

Interesting when both "Nail" and "Angel" were on the board and nobody noticed the Chain connection

[@FeralXethx]

How to link Eagle and Row... Clue: Bird. Get all your ducks in a row. :) I honestly felt like that one was easier than Ambient XD.

[@Merusdraconis]

Anna plays Codenames like I play Codenames: immediately blurt out the stupidest match you can think of, and then try and bullshit the other team into picking it

[@billvolk4236]

Naming 300 for "pass" and "point" when "screen" was still on the table was a gameosing move. She could have said "piercing" or something.

[@marcusclaudius266]

Have they ever explained "Vinyamar?" They reference it nearly every time they play this game, but I've never heard the full story. As a Silmarillion fan, I'm curious to see if I would have understood it.

[@mcolville]

Schmuck was trying to link "Beach" with some other middle-earth word and so he looked up "Middle Earth Beach" and got a word he didn't know; Vinyamar. He had never heard it, but he knew I was a LotR nerd and hoped I would get it. We bombed, we had no idea what he was babbling about. The closest I got was "It sounds Icelandic." So that created the rule; If YOU don't know what the word means, do not give it as a clue!!

[@marcusclaudius266]

Awesome, thanks for the story. I like to think I would have gotten that but in all likelihood I would have bombed out, too.

[@zacharysnyder2520]

I love watching them talk themself out of sane answers.

[@thereasonablegamemaster2737]

This is incredibly entertaining to watch. I love the crazy guesses. Also when they go too far down the rabbit trail.

[@tdog4423]

Tom you are a legend 😂😂😂😂

[@matthewhack6510]

never heard of this game and i'm not bright enough to figure it out, but you guys make it fun to watch!

[@LoLeanderx]

A great hint for "point" and "pass" would have been the name of the game "Codenames". You get points and you pass in it.

[@markqurf]

Anna turning around after every turn to yell at OD is so funny.

[@Ruxinator]

that last game is still a fucking banger of a game. it's like watching professional sports

[@getlowrenzo]

So many sports related clues for Pass + Point... Assist, Alley-oop, Touchdown... Didn't see 300 coming at all 🤷‍♂️

[@stevenklinden]

This was great! My only fear is that, for fear of never being able to top that incredible third game, they won't do more Codenames streams. I'd love to see more MCDM Codenames games on KZbin!

[@yimingpan8951]

24:40 The moment Tom realized he had to do something to stop blue team's streak.

[@epsilon8607]

Always happy to tune into this channel.

[@joost00555]

MattMattTom-team was supernaturally guided.

[@j0nhurry459]

I know I'd crash and burn as the captain lol

[@GerbilProphet]

Mine and Chick should have been Canary instead of Shaft.

[@nerdytom6881]

Just when you think OD is stupid, you realise he just thinks on another level.

[@vitorribeiro3010]

I fucking need more of this! Where are you all?

[@commandercorner5575]

My first clue on blue's first round would have been Shelob - 2 : Giant Spider

[@Thergood]

How's your chest tan going folks?

[@taviswardlaw]

linking 'eagle' and 'row'? I thought 'ducks' might work (ie. 'all your ducks in a row' and the similarity in species) and it didn't;t really line up with any of the other options left.

[@raymondoftoulouse3355]

Tavis Wardlaw what was the link? I didn’t get it

[@taviswardlaw]

Raymond of Toulouse late in the game Matt was trying to think of a good link for eagle and row. I thought ‘ducks’ might be a good link because of the saying ‘all your ducks in a row’ and because a duck is relatively similar to an eagle (at least compared to the other remaining options).

[@thefridgefreezer]

Blimey, what a legendary game of codies

[@SomeTomfoolery]

"Mr. Tumnus is a rabbit, right?" 💀💀

[@tyetnic]

He could have given the clue Crow. It includes the word Row, and it would make them think of birds.

[@imjustsomeguy72]

You can't do rhyming clues. The clues basically have to relate to the meanings of the words, not how they sound or are spelt.

[@SneakySolidSnake]

i loved tom's quote at the moment of defeat. i've experienced something so wild that i said it and fully meant it. story time. i had this wonderful idea that if spiders could signal that they come in peace, only to eat bugs and not bite you, it would be nice. i reflected, how could they signal when they are so small. the first thing to come to mind was if they did a spin. then i thought, 1 spin is too vague, they do 2 full spins and you know they are peaceful. as i'm getting up to go to the bathroom after having this thought, two spiders are rappelling down the wall side by side. i smile and wait for half a second as i reflect on my thought. as i'm doing this, both spiders simultaneously do a double twirl in mid-air. i shook my head in disbelief and said what tom schmuck said. "i can't fucking believe it!"

[@arvinquazi788]

i aint reading allat

[@PatrickMoog]

You guys should do an epic Twilight Imperium play!

[@shreknet]

The Hand of God of Codenames.

[@Slackercat777]

"I promise the next time we stream it will be the chain" Dang :(

[@stevenclark1662]

We can be sad together, friend.

[@sirhamalot8651]

6:53 No way I'd let a team captain look up stuff on his phone. Minus points for the potential cheat.

[@arvinquazi788]

nerd

[@fakjbf3129]

Instead of "300" Anna should have said "touchdown", I guarantee Tom and Lars would have instantly gotten both words.

[@broomob]

captain matt just staring at the audience 😂

[@Katastra_]

How old are Tom and Anna? They didn't get Dragonheart! Classic movie lol

[@Seth9809]

Where are all the previous games of MCDM Plays Codenames?

[@ts4gv]

7:46 Running backs are the smallest players on the team lolol

[@crimsonhawk52]

Is this the first time Codenames has been put on youtube? Anna's lack of explanation is killing me nvm I got it pretty quick

[@raymondoftoulouse3355]

It’s important to note, there were like 6,000 Greek soldiers alongside the Spartans. Also, it was partially the fault of the Achaemenids (Persians) when they decided to use such a massive, hard to control army.

[@SeaWeasel94]

1:15:39 The fact of sheer ecstacy

[@kell_checks_in]

What I'm learning: don't give clues related to sports, specific TV shows or politics because the rest of the table may have no idea what on earth you're talking about.

[@BroodNBerry]

amazing! good show chaps

[@misomiso8228]

1:16:00 Mat gave away too much with his actions though...!

[@arvinquazi788]

bruh theyre pros dont give tips

[@Angeal1986]

When are you going to play again?

[@andythompson3707]

Lucky OD washed his hands, he’d never say anything lewd on the stream! Subtext

[@elilovesmetal]

Like a can of spoiled milk!!!

[@stargazerkawaii]

Pass and point- verb for 2

[@VellaTek]

I think Runningback is two words.

[@arvinquazi788]

are u dumb its a position

[@user-ht5ce2it3z]

What happened at 32:25? They tapped on pass then it cut to the next turn.

[@fantell]

dear lord Matt, stop staring into my soul

[@Alste27]

well i guess you could have said Fish to link eagle and row. my reasoning would be birds eat fish and fish eggs are called roe which sounds a lot like row :P i mean i guess that could lead to thinking about fish pie i guess

[@andythompson3707]

The Greek alps 🤣

[@Briggz001]

THE NEXT TIME WE SEE YOU, WILL BE THE CHAIN!!!!! OMG

[@helloMCDM]

The interlude is what came after this stream chronologically. Matt is prepping the heist though!

[@Briggz001]

@@helloMCDM I was the one that made that skeleton waiting meme btw.... My body is ready. Love you guys

[@Raswhitworth]

Does one team always have to get more names than the other team like in the last game when blue had 9 on the board to red's 8?

[@mcolville]

Whoever goes first, has the first chance to win. So that team always has one more clue they need to get.

[@CilantroGamer]

I know this video is a bit old, but within the rules of codenames, could Matt have used the clue "Spare, 2" in the very last game, with the thought that they'd say "Spare row", realize it's "Sparrow", and then get "Eagle" too?

[@helloMCDM]

The clue has to be about the meaning of the word, so that would be against the rules.

[@CilantroGamer]

@@helloMCDM Oh wow, thanks for the speedy reply! Amazing games either way, that last one blew my mind. I need to get this game.

[@VeX1138]

Wonderland 2 = I immediately looked for anything to do with hookers, murder, and cocaine ... then became confused.

[@Khorane]

DRAGONHEART!!!!

[@BattleSpew]

What about DRAGONHEART?

[@YoJesusMorales]

That was a stretch but zoom and glare though.

[@ComradeCrab93]

Mr. Tumnas* is a Satyr, not a rabbit. *spelling

[@olehoncho]

For that tricky 5 in the first match, I would have gone with "uncloven - 5" Deer are cloven-hoofed, so that would remove Buck from consideration. Turkeys, Dragons, Whales - easy guesses. Uncloven relates to feet, so socks could also be guessed. And George Washington was a human, so also uncloven.

[@feedweeb8856]

spiders do not have hearts

[@samrowe4682]

Should have been Marie Curie instead of shaft

[@DA1423]

Classic codies.

[@somniumisdreaming]

The red blue solution sorta ruins it for me, like to play along.

[@arvinquazi788]

lol find some friends

[@somniumisdreaming]

@arvinquazi788 says the person replying to 2 Yr old comments.

[@camerondrew9402]

I guess y'all lost the timer that came with the game?! :)

[@civilbeard]

My friend group also leaves the timer in the box. You get cooler, bigger clues if you have unlimited time.

[@camerondrew9402]

We usually keep it on the table so that the waiting team can flip it if it gets out of hand.

[@angelowentzler9961]

The words on the cards are ALMOST legible

[@johnbeechy]

heart of the ocean /// i have no idea how to light bulb this game... watching is learning.. //

[@classicfrog80]

I've literally got no clue what's going on. Watched it a bit, rewatched, still no idea. You guys usually explain the games pretty well. Maybe if you play it next time you can do that.

[@heikothedwarf]

The captain gives a one-word clue and the number of words on the board it refers to, trying to steer their teammates to the correct words. One team’s trying to reveal all the red words, the other the blue words.

[@johnbeechy]

makes sense..

[@delryn256]

'Earn an honest buck' is a lot more well known than 'fair and honest'.

[@ThanatoselNyx]

Maybe in your area.

[@delryn256]

I've never even heard of fair and honest as a saying. It's kind of redundant :/

[@CaptainDCap]

Play this again, but please don't reveal the board until after the game is finished! I enjoyed the last game much better than the others.

[@j0nasbs]

They reveal the boards so twitch chat can play along live, and then they do a blind game for the third game, so there's a balance of knowing and not knowing.

[@CaptainDCap]

@@j0nasbs Revealing the boards spoils the gamestate to the viewer, which means they *cannot* play along.

[@j0nasbs]

@@CaptainDCap We can. We see what they are trying to link and we come up we clues in chat, and when clues are given we can see what they are going for. Is a different kind of suspense, because we have more information.
