Polygon Plays JACKBOX! Feat. Griffin, Pat, Brian, Jenna & More!

With the recent addition of not one, but TWO new faces to the Polygon team, we thought: what better way to embarrass them in front of their coworkers (and the internet) than by playing a few games of our favorite friendship-ruiner, Jackbox Party Pack 4?

Polygon owes me a new keyboard because this one has sacramental wine all over it now on the strength of that quip.
