MCDM Plays Codenames Ep. 13

[@Zoe_A_MacDonald]

James must be from a completely different planet than me because I have no idea his angle is on those clues lol

[@SomeTomfoolery]

I have a friend like that. He's... fun to play with

[@cycoconutz]

New MCDM product: Kiwi Jam (Only sold in the UK)

[@birdybirdytiger]

And only at Choob Con, in Reigate.

[@Swooper86]

I was 100% certain Zealand in the last game was "ring", because the Lord of the Rings was mostly filmed in New Zealand. Surprised that didn't even come up.

[@dehartce]

I thought the same thing, plus staff because of Gandalf’s staff.

[@Reruro]

Yep, with you here on this one, felt it might be too niche but maybe not at this table.

[@rocketforthree4479]

I also thought it was Lord of the Rings, with "Bow" like Legolas's Bow.

[@sethsybrandy3218]

"F**king JAM!" That was a good end point for a good stream.

[@louisroy4911]

“Like the fucking D&D thing, Wizards and Staff and all that. What you do for a fucking living! WIZARDS AND STAFF!” Livid OD is just amazing. Thank you Matt for triggering this gem!

[@HuseyinCinar]

Swat = Fly + Seal clue was great. Can't believe how they hesitated so much :D

[@ponderwild]

Hollywood Squares was definitely a game show. Well played Lars Principal and key are synonyms

[@VillainousVillainessViridi]

Matt really let O'D down that last game, holy crap!

[@mcolville]

He was so mad at me, like really really mad. I deserved it.

[@ponderwild]

3 for 6 on Texas ain't bad...

[@GodzEvar66]

Haha I had the exact same thought at Makenzie about Olympus in Percy Jackson

[@Cuix]

This is awesome, always fun to watch. I'm surprised that Zealand didn't connect to "ring" though! Lord of the Rings! New Zealand! Come on! James definitely gave the most head-scratch-inducing clues, though.

[@claremcquillan9080]

I love this release schedule 😍 more MCDM, please!

[@dennisjordan5917]

You should check out their twitch. I don’t watch anything else on twitch, but all the games they have released on KZbin recently have been on twitch for several days prior to KZbin release.

[@minchjam]

"Captains can't sneeze" damn O'D gettin on em

[@Perzyn]

I love watching Matt as a captain. The faces he make when his team mucks up.

[@RandoFromMars]

About a version of Codenames where you can deny opposing team's guesses if you can figure it out first, there's a game called Decrypto that might be what you're looking for.

[@JEST3R_]

God I love Codenames

[@TheodoreMinick]

The tactical stream should just be the captain's reactions to plays. Especially when Matt's in the chair.

[@ponderwild]

Would be fun to watch with the captains sitting behind a screen or something.

[@NathtouLightbringer]

The true king of codes is once again signal jamming.

[@frankraljevski2324]

The fucking hollywood squares bit killed me

[@fakjbf3129]

I played the Marvel Superhero version of Codenames. The problem is that most of the people playing (including me) had only seen the movies, so we had no idea what 80% of the cards were because they were obscure comic book characters. And it definitely didn't help that it was the first time playing any version of Codenames for most of us, so everyone just got fed up and quit after two rounds of clues. Now I'm trying to convince them to play this version, but they all think it'll just end in frustration again and won't give it a shot.

[@Codeaholic1]

*Looks out window* Yes Texas has palm trees.

[@almightyhydra]

So does New Zealand ;)

[@claytonmyers9739]

@@almightyhydra Kinda ... according to Sam.

[@Jacob-qr8pl]

OMG! Matt's face when James said his brother drank Mercury. OMG!

[@mjr8888]

1:08 Ah, so all the shelves are different to the players of the chain? So what's there reflects them? That's awesome.

[@concibar4267]

I really like that Matt said agent unlimited. I feel that was the point where he started playing the game like OD does, accepted his playstyle.

[@marathuzula9024]

few things make me as happy as watching Matt's eyes while he plays codenames.

[@nikwriter]

In Blind Games, can you list how many words are remaining? It's hard to keep track of how close each team is to winning when it gets to a blind match.

[@bdijkstra1982]

All you have to keep track of is which team started. That team always has to get 9 clues, the other 8.

[@samuelrybiak4564]

Fun fact, Isaac Newton drank mercury thinking it was the elixir or life, so watch James' brother for the next massive mathematics innovations!

[@sammcgurran8142]

If you know the other teams clue there could be a facility to refresh them?

[@DoomDutch]

I laud Matt's knowledge that New Zealand's name is derived of the Province of Zeeland in the Netherlands

[@vitorribeiro3010]

Where are the others 10 episodes? This is so good!

[@justindowning3845]

On Matt's Channel.

[@culsandar]

Lars' face when he's waiting for them to shut up so he can give his first clue... poor guy.

[@chaddixon9764]

With James, everything is film-related.

[@SubtleArboreal]

Game 2. Red team. Tetherball 4.

[@Magic__7]

I love watching this

[@ahmedakmal9244]

Yaaay more Codenames! actually Yaaay more MCDM plays!

[@EdsonR13]

So makenzie could have gone up to 4 with her punch clue, is it legal to say the same clue twice? Like if they got her two for punch but she noticed they were dancing around the right words say punch 2 again

[@justindowning3845]

If you watched the whole video you'd see O'D said Texas 6 and then Texas 2 later.

[@mrengineer87]

I need a new episode of codenames

[@notchrisrivero]

Makenzie was so good!

[@makenziedearmas961]

Christian Rivero Thank you!! I got to play a practice round of Codenames a day before the stream, which helped a TON. I was super nervous though-especially when captain-ing against Matt!

[@Theplayerofx]

kiwi jam is the best

[@Palidine4M0O]

STOP THE BLIND GAMES! I want to know what you're thinking and watch your tortured eyes as your teams dismantle your communication!

[@dennisjordan5917]

What? Blind games are way more fun because you can play along. I can’t imagine enjoying a non blind game nearly as much as being able to play along.

[@bdijkstra1982]

@@dennisjordan5917 In blind games you can play along with the field operatives, in non-blind games you can play along with the spymasters. Either way you can play along.

[@Harrow_the_Ninth]

Poor Anna

[@alltimefalloutatthechemica2106]

Please play secret hitler

[@StressHead95]

Makenzie is so fun!

[@makenziedearmas961]

StressHead95 Thank you so much!! I hadn’t laughed this hard in a LONG time 😂

[@SheezyBites]

laser is an acronym including light, so I'da called that one cheating.

[@Unelith]

At the point when Makenzie began to describe her superhero ideas, I kinda really wanted to listen to her going on and on instead of watching the game being played

[@makenziedearmas961]

Unelith At some point, I’ll get around to writing a comic book...someday... 😂

[@dennisjordan5917]

Makenzie De Armas you said you play in an inclusive table top gaming group and that just made me curious. Are there tabletop gaming groups that are not inclusive? Like is that the norm?

[@Unelith]

@@makenziedearmas961 Oh shit, you're actually here, how cool! Same thing with me and getting around to writing... anything basically. Even prepwork for the next session. Anyway, I'd read a comic book by you, you seem to have a lot of cool ideas.

[@fan-i-am]

Wow she talks a lot!

[@ThanatoselNyx]

"a lot" * and they all do.

[@MrBiloxifireman]

1st

[@zizi3_147]

Makenzie talks way too much. I was so annoyed

[@musicaismylovica]

The dynamic here is really awkward. She doesn’t seem to fit in with this group. They constantly talk over her dont continue conversations with her when they do reply, and look away from her when she talks. Maybe it’s just me but this video is very hard to watch the social atmoshere isn’t very smooth. She constantly is putting herself down and like screaming when she talks. Maybe I’m just being an asshole but I couldn’t help but say something.
