I find myself watching these not so much for the board games, but for the obscure references, the witty writing, and the always amazing alliteration (I do miss the end of video bloopers, though) Thanks, Chaz!

[@GameNightPicks]

Thank you, I appreciate that! I'll admit that I'm still on the fence about bringing back bloopers at the end - but, to make up for it, I've been experimenting with just including more of them in the video itself. Hopefully, trying it that way still provides some facepalmy fun. :)

[@ricwood8214]

I'm the exact opposite. I find this guy's humour not to my tastes, (far too forced) and watch his stuff only for the info about upcoming games.

[@ricwood8214]

@M M Not at all. I like many styles and co-run a board gaming club. The forced humour he masquerades around each video is unnecessary.

[@megabro4130]

All those Batman Shirts, fine... I give a thumbs up ^^

[@raskarkapak11catch]

Looking forward to be beastly at playing the Grimm Masquerade.

[@brenes1]

That It’s a Wonderful World looks sweet! Chocolate Factory looks Sweeter! but definitively i want Chakra!

[@richardsaunders9214]

Chaz, you absolutely MUST post the 3 hours of Veebug’s drum concerto to your channel!

[@HALOX30]

Did you find out how big those bees were in Ambrosia i think. Curious if i should stay indoors.😱

[@GameNightPicks]

I'm not saying you should be concerned, but I think I just saw one carrying a small dog.

[@hamamatsucho]

There I waited the whole video for Chaz to spoil what the heraldic curiosity about the Essen coat of arms is and... nothing. Not gonna tell us, eh?

[@GameNightPicks]

FINALLY someone asks about it! People tend to connect the sword in the coat of arms' left shield with one found in the Cathedral Treasury. This sword, however, is much more recent. I know, crazy, right?!

[@apsaify]

Keep 'em coming :)

[@GameNightPicks]

Thanks, Adit Ps, I'll do my best to do just that! 😀

[@HALOX30]

Super Fantasy brawl...how did i i miss that game. Making a top 30 list so that one is going in.

[@GameNightPicks]

I know, right? I felt the exact same way when I discovered it. I'm glad this list could help you find something new! :)

[@HALOX30]

@@GameNightPicks It good for my inner geek but not for my wallet lol. I have like 30 games i want but i can't buy them all. At least i am going and i am buying some games. The 2 Everdell expansions (Bellfaire and Spirecrest) and Tapestry are the ones i am certainly going to buy. I do hope i can say hi to you and shake your hand if you are going to be there. Last year i saw you but you were busy at the BGG booth.

[@GameNightPicks]

I will be there, working in the BGG booth. Hopefully, I'll have some downtime built into my schedule so I will have several occasions to look around and chat with people. If you get a chance, please come say "hi"! I'd enjoy the opportunity!

[@j-rod4600]

Apparently you can't live without a post it note app.

[@TheDavidPhillips]

The product mentioned at 8:45 was indeed garbage.

[@GameNightPicks]

I'm pretty sure that if you watch the video a SECOND time, a much better advertisement is shown. Maybe it was a third time. Fourth? It's probably worth playing the video on a loop all day, just to be safe.

[@TheDavidPhillips]

@@GameNightPicks well gee, that sounds like more fun than white warshin' Aunt Polly's fence!

[@martinlarouche4418]

It's a wonderful world: My eyes! Horrible orange and teal combo should be banned at this point. For those who do not know why, please google "orange and teal trope".

[@GameNightPicks]

I looked it up, and found examples of a bunch of movie posters that use that color combination. Interesting. And now I can't unsee it!

[@martinlarouche4418]

@@GameNightPicks Orange and teal are a bane in Hollywood movies, but the dreaded combo invades boardgames too. It's just so overused, i cringe whenever i see it. Look at the covers for both editions of Through the ages (the first is worse), Tzolkin, 7 wonders, 7 wonders Duel, Mage knight boardgame, A Feast for Odin, Mamsion of Madness 2, Orleans, Blood Rage, Wingspan, Imperial Assault, Keyflower, Lords of Waterdeep, Five Tribes, El Grande, Eldritch horror, Battlestar Galactica boardgame, Roll for the galaxy, Pandemic, Aeon's end, Kemet, Descent 2nd edition, Star Realms, the latest cover of Inis, Santorini, Lord of the rings the card game, Underwater cities, Arcadia Quest, Xia legends of drift system, Coimbra, Lords of Hellas, Western Legends, Forbidden Desert, Res Arcana... And the list goes on and on and on... It's a wonderful world just doesn't even try to hide it. ... might be a subject for one of your videos: boardgames art tropes. ;)
