WBC 2022: Most Common YouTube Comments Discussion - The Players' Aid

[@paulbrown7369]

I'm a subscriber because you two are fun to hang around with and you cover things I'm interested in. Those things are more important than "professionally produced" videos. Having said that, the quality of your videos are just fine and keep me coming back.

[@doeleen]

I agree Paul! I felt like I was traveling with them to the WBC. Thanks for the ride fellas. I enjoy their conversations and the discussions around games and it is refreshing, the content and how varied it is and how natural their relationship is. We need more kindness these days.

[@ajelder99]

Top five questions 3:46 time stamps 7:26 showing the back of the box 10:53 audio quality 19:05 game review requests 25:56 compare/contrast, series, genre review requests 32:29 outro 🙂

[@grantkleinhenz6789]

See. We told you all that someone would do it for us!😀😜

There is a certain charm about your videos. Not sure how the describe it, but it feels like you guys are really enjoying whenever you are filming. And that is most important that you guys are having fun. Keep it up! I discovered some great games from your channel and looking forward to see more!

[@thunderccr5056]

Love how down to earth you both are, your videos are always great and what I like is, I may not get to play 95% of the games you review but I appreciate seeing those games and hearing your thoughts about them. Keep having fun! All the best! Regards from Dorset UK🙂

[@drewkennewell4267]

I'm incredibly disappointed that Alexander didn't leave a single timestamp for the part where he talks about timestamps :(

[@whovian223]

This was fun! More of this, please. And I'm starting to becoming a more regular viewer. :)

[@charleslatora5750]

Just keep doing what you're doing. It's all most extremely excellent.

[@josephgavinsyverson]

I really like the volume of content and think the spontaneity creates a lot of opportunities for insight and humor. In other words, keep doing what you're doing! And thank you.

[@johnc.4871]

I like the format and the intro/logo is spot on. Not over produced. You tell me about the core machanics and the other fits around it. Also, I feel like you two have honestly played these games and enjoy the heck out of them. That's what I like to hear. Your experiences and what was great and maybe not so great about a game.

[@thomaskaplan4898]

Im watching ( listening ) while I drive. Most enjoyable. Keep up the good work

[@przemekbozek]

Thanks a lot for the video guys, please do more of those, appreciate your thoughts😁

[@philb4944]

Your audio is far better than most wargaming channels. The fact that you use mics at all puts your quality above many. Even with a garbage microphone, most creators could up their audio game by just using some compression. Nothing worse than a super loud intro with someone mumbling at low volume right after.

[@waitingforvirtue3080]

Cheers Guys, I appreciate the time you take to put videos out. Keep them coming.

[@chrissteadman4614]

Fabulous banter!

[@iansanderson2567]

Good to hang out with you two again

[@NerdWorkshop1]

Funny, you say you are not a professional KZbinr, but I am look at 40 different items available on you Players Aid store. :) You guys do a great job, keep up the great work.

[@Tombonzo]

Great stuff guys! You keep doing what you’re doing, it’s all fantastic. I really appreciate your efforts! You guys are amazing, hope to meet you someday.

[@clockmonkey]

Getting to play a game you like with someone you like is a wonderful thing.

[@davidhowe1424]

Well done . . Video and Audio are fine! Thanks!

[@brianfoley1805]

I am a subscriber and try to watch most of your videos when I even have a passing interest in the game.

[@Oxlorne]

Here's a list of things our viewers request and here is a list of why we don't care. LMAO I love it. You guys are the best! Keep doing your thing.

[@tims8326]

Love the format - more roadtrips! I have never had a problem with your sound or lighting. Agree with the point about backs of boxes in all formats though. I tend to watch your monthly summaries and I know they are not unboxing or reviews, but just a little more visuals would be nice.

[@wildape3210]

I grew up with a large family, so the background family sounds, furnace, etc. are comforting. I filter them out or chuckle at them.

[@marksieber8140]

Thank you gentlemen I love your videos and your enthusiastic support for the hobby. This one was extra fun. PS how ARE your accents related to those terrible shirts?

[@manuelkooijman5757]

I love that you try to react to comments. There are a few content creators who say they want to build a community (not naming here out of respect) but then do not react to comments, not even a thumbs up or heart. Us viewers want to engage and not hearing something back, makes people just leave the channel.

[@coyi51]

Really enjoy the videos even the ones with the house hold noise, just like the real world. Like the sound of the new table, hopefully it makes life easier for you. A bit confused with the 68 cruise limit and watching vans and trucks flying past, is it lane speed or are they exceeding the speed limit? One of the quickset 40 minutes. Thank you.

[@ThePlayersAid]

Lots of speeding on i70. We weren't in a massive rush.

[@MeanderingMikesManCave]

Keep up the great work guys. Excelsior!

[@IslanKleinknecht]

I wish people would stop expecting full professional production on youtube. I know standards have increased over the years, but we should still have room in our lives for more "amateur"/lower-production channels.

[@jacklitt]

A very honest and nice to watch video. I do agree would be great if when you do an unboxing video if you folloed up with one or more turns, again if practical. Grant I just purchased Assault Red Horizon 41 , watched your top 10 recommendation of that :-) Its great to see how well you both work together and I enjoy watching your videos, even if you do not have timelines ;-) 😀

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Good video chaps. With time stamps, I make a note of them when I'm editing, so I can just easily write them in the description when I've uploaded the video, if you make nots on word or similar, it's even easier as you can just cut and paste! It does take time though and I can understand you not doing it...

[@d00d00brown]

love the channel!!!

[@jamesbrazeal3847]

Fun travel Video, Not sure if I have seen many shot from the car. Made for a fun listen while driving.... lol 😆

[@Caratacus1]

I'm a Brit with a northern working-class accent and it confuses the heck out of Americans (probably because they are expecting to hear the Queen's English like in the films). So I sympathise with Alexander because when I've been Stateside I've been called Australian too. I've never said Strewth, Fair Dinkum, or Cobber in my life😁

[@coltranecave5503]

Everyone's naturally going to disagree at some point with others on the kind of game that works for them. What really matters in a KZbin war game channel is that the hosts are engaging, entertaining, informative, humble and genuinely interested in the hobby - I'd say you two pass with flying colours on all of those fronts. Keep it up!

[@e-4airman124]

I am sure that you passed thru the Y- Bridge City Zanesville Ohio lots of construction right now😀

[@alexanderrobertson3526]

I only ask this because I know you have already played it once - did you guys ever get back to Oath? I've been struggling to get that elusive second play!

[@brumogden7704]

We haven't, but I owe them a second play butt kicking.

[@alexanderrobertson3526]

Watch out for those wolves, guys.

[@jackrutter9797]

I wish there was time stamps on this top 5 video... :p You guys be you, don't change :)

[@andrewsstuffy]

no complaints.. 🙂

[@doeleen]

I love your channel. Thank you so much for the content! Would you say that WBC is the best war gaming convention to attend? I would like to attend a conference next year. Which would you suggest for a solo gamer? Is WBC more for competitive gamers? I would like to attend one that’s friendly and for playing. I am curious to know the conventions you would recommend.

[@ThePlayersAid]

Where are you located? WBC is family friendly, all sorts of people there from kids, to elder statespeople. There are plenty of tournaments, but mostly people are playing those for enjoyment. There's a ton of open gaming, and a bunch of designers and publishers there demoing prototypes and new games too. We love it, because it's a really great cross section of wargaming, with a ton of people to interview and try new stuff with etc.

[@doeleen]

@@ThePlayersAid thanks for the quick reply. I am in Virginia. So I could easily drive. Sounds like the one for me.

[@ThePlayersAid]

@@doeleen there's a LOT of people from Virigina that make the trip, you'll for sure meet people you could game with back home too!

[@rochedl]

Any interest in going to the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo 2022? Loving the video :). Been thinking of doing something similar to cover little known and vintage board games, Selling found Boardgames has put that thought in my head :). Hence changing my KZbin name, DR are my initials :). Looking forward to your next videos :)

[@grantkleinhenz6789]

When is it being held?

[@rochedl]

@@grantkleinhenz6789 October 1st and 2nd at Monroeville convention center.

[@madman2096]

Thank you for your informative videos. Especially as you seem like the typical gamers I know. Curious about WBC, do you have to sign up for specific days/times to get into a game or is it more like, I am free at X o'clock, what is open or what is scheduled to start then? Also is there open gaming, non scheduled, where you could say walk around holding a game you want to play and get takers. Or see one on a table with a sign or something like "looking for players"?

[@ThePlayersAid]

A WBC there are plenty of events that you would book in to, including tournaments. However we don't participate in any of those. There's a huge open gaming hall, including a library you have access to with your badge, and like you said, signs asking for players. We routinely walk around with the game box lid trying to harrangue players!

[@tommloye4626]

Clearly Alexander’s accent is eastern Kentucky. Not sure why there is confusion.

[@rachellynnyo]

I might start adding GMT box back images to BGG now because I watched this video. Never even thought about that before, so thanks lol

[@ThePlayersAid]

That's a monumental task if you're going to back fill them, but for future ones I think people like that.

[@rachellynnyo]

@@ThePlayersAid Future ones for sure.

[@barngames1785]

I thought this video was going to end in a Thelma and Louise fashion...Glad it didn't :)

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

What are those microphones?

[@ThePlayersAid]

They're Rode Wireless II mics. Great mix of settings, quality, and reasonable price.

[@gregsaldi1292]

Fantastic

[@danddjacko]

I love the family dynamic that you have. 😏👍

[@johnsy4306]

Oh and it would have been nice to know what interstate you were on when you were recording.

[@grantkleinhenz6789]

I-70 heading east and on the return heading west (when we recorded another video)

[@johnsy4306]

Alexander is from Baltimore.....LOL!!

[@seanmulroy6897]

are you in a studio ? the trees outside the window look like they are on a loop ? lol

[@dr3putt62]

Laid back is what I enjoy……

[@thomaskaplan4898]

Oh and I've been following for awhile....didn't know you were in laws .... Mind blown

[@michaelconfoy2862]

Lancaster? Thought it moved?

[@e-4airman124]

maybe some day I will go😀

[@currybr]

Perhaps you guys could pioneer with deliberately non-helpful time stamps. For example: Incoherent Rambling...More Incoherent Rambling...Calandale Level Incoherent Rambling...Alexander Loses the Plot Completely.

[@grantkleinhenz6789]

Those examples time stamps are what we should use as that is what we do most of the time!

[@cardboardconflicts]

Oh man this would be hilarious!

[@Conflict_Boardgaming]

I live literally 10 minutes from I-79, just south of Pittsburgh. You guys should call me and stop for a bit. I'll buy you guys a beer or two. I'll e-mail Alexander with my number.

[@varovaro1967]

You actually get out

[@ThePlayersAid]

We're on day release

[@edackley8595]

Pro Tip: Ping Pong table, folding. Not any better value out there for wargamers BOTH tabletop miniature and hex & counter monsters.

[@thomassamson1432]

Lucky I wish either of my brother in laws would war game; it must be awesome to have someone in the family close by to play with. My son is almost there, slowly grooming him; I had to create my own player partner (thanks to my wife)

[@iansanderson2567]

Alexander your Scouse accent has nearly gone

[@charleslatora5750]

Kids? No biggie. No problem. Grandkids? OMG!!! You are going to have so much fun.

[@johnsy4306]

Before you say WBC is the best wargaming convention, come to CSW Expo in Phoenix first. :D

[@fsmoura]

God! The ugly shirts on these shills! Well, not both, I mean, just the one with the funny accent . . . what is that from, Baltimore?! How are you two related again?? How do you have so much time for gaming? By the way, can you put timestamps on the videos? And show the back of the boxes? . . . Anyhoo, the audio sucks! All that echo and rumbling, is that for ambiance? Am I supposed to feel inside a tank racing to the Volga? The other day I heard a vacuum cleaner, a fridge, a washing machine, and a furnace. You guys inside an appliance testing company or something? P.S.: Can you do a full play through of Campaign for North Africa? Thanks!😎

[@grantkleinhenz6789]

You hit them all in one post! Congratulations! 😂

[@mattshirley765]

I'm still disappointed we don't know why Alexander wears all his collared shirts buttoned up all the way to the top. I'm going with the embarrassing tattoo on his clavicle theory.

[@mattshirley765]

But seriously, I DON'T want to see his clavicle. There are plenty of other KZbin channels for that sort of thing.
