Neon Gorilla AMA #1

[@seanmcgowan4842]

Thanks for the AMA and admire the vulnerability to put it out there. I appreciate your production value (not too raw and not too overproduced, Goldilocks status). I also appreciate that the thoughts and opinions you share sure seem genuine and not packaged…just very real and relatable while also simultaneously setting a high bar.

[@Neon_Gorilla]

thanks Sean I appreciate that...I have struggled with imposter syndrome for much of my life, this is the place I actually feel genuine so I am glad you see that. Thank you for watching

[@ChristopherOdd]

Thanks for doing this!

[@Neon_Gorilla]

Thanks for watching

[@Frodo-]

Having a hard time getting to play a game. I usually just rip the bandaid off. Read through and get a decent understanding, then mentally prepare that I'll play a game terribly. After that game, read rules again and it does an amazing job of filling in the gaps.

sometimes a messy grind I necessary

[@donnakeferlis1649]

That rings true for me too!

[@Jebusito]

That was a great 1st AMA, a lot of things resonate with me, btw Tokio its such an incredible place I hope you can visit it soon, Kyoto and Nara also are a must

[@Neon_Gorilla]

Thank you and I sure hope I can get there, My wife isn't particularly drawn so not sure when I would go.

I’m in the stage of not playing a lot due to a baby but we get about 1-2 games in on weekend nights when he’s asleep. I always think it’ll be more fun when he’s older and can play games but holding them while they fall asleep is one of the best feelings and I know I’ll miss that in a couple years. I don’t know why but I like Gaia Project’s art, I know it isn’t amazing but I like it quite a bit. Really hoping my wife gets me the expansion for Christmas this year! 🤞🏻

[@Neon_Gorilla]

@@Triston_Yocom art is subjective…i think the faction portraits are sort of hilarious:)

[@markengle3999]

Beautiful story about Fleetwood Mac and your mom; thanks for sharing that.

[@fenirob]

I truly appreciate this type of video, the length of the video is perfect for work when i'm working a long shift so thank you for that! Finding your channel and following ya since the Kelp 9 things you should know video! (P.S. backed the game and got it today and cannot wait to drag my S.O. to the table to play it! I love seeing the growth of the channel and seeing where the roads takes and thank you for pleasing the visual and hands on learner kinda guy! It was nice to pull the curtain back to see a glimpse of the wizard in their realm and here's to the future!

[@Neon_Gorilla]

First iff thank you for the kind words! That makes my day. How did the production come out for Kelp?

[@Agent00sonic]

@@Neon_Gorilla of course! And to be honest not too shabby! I'll do a little video and upload it later on my other channel haha but otherwise a decent game I grabbed the deluxe edition :)

[@BillyIndiana]

Great video! I'd forgotten about your SoCal roots.

[@Neon_Gorilla]

yep that is the origin of my Dodger cap :)

[@BillyIndiana]

Stepbrothers 😂 I just watched that when we went to Catalina Island in June 🥂 Thanks for sharing about your family.

[@Neon_Gorilla]

[@madeleineprice1293]

Hi, I love your videos. What are the lights in the background called? I want to get some for my house. Thanks!

[@Neon_Gorilla]

Thank you, the color is the Govee floor lamp

[@JKadenHarding]

Thanks for the video! I hope you continue to enjoy doing this and have time with your family! Does your wife still want to play Arcs with you? My wife likes Res Arcana, but thats about as complicated a game as I can get her to play.

[@Neon_Gorilla]

She plays when I do my chores:)

[@kennychan8054]

Arborea blew my mind I was skeptical of Barcelona and windmill valley as they look a bit dry and samey (!?) to any other euros exist? Do you think if I love Arborea would I feel the same for dani Garcia other two titles. That movement of workers and sharing of resources coupled by some area control/ tile placement felt insane to us. Never felt the same uniqueness in other euros. Think the closest was vindication which was also interesting

[@Neon_Gorilla]

Arborea is pretty unique, I wouldn't say it is directly connected to anything in windmill valley or Barcelona...I think that is what makes Dani Garcia so Wonderfull though. Each design is very unique.

[@kennychan8054]

So among the 3…which one willl you recommend most?
