Vlog Ep. 71: Tabletop Drinking Games

It's a Friday night and we brought out the drinks and a tower of games and decided to talk about different games that work as drinking games! While we don't typically do a lot of drinking while gaming, we figured we've had enough experience to take this topic on and I think we had some decent fun with it. 

So to recap, trick-taking games are good if you want an excuse for people to take shots from time to time. Medium difficulty games are okay earlier in the night and can still be fun but don't push heavier stuff as the drinks keep flowing. Play games that have minimal components to lose or destroy and don't get too married to your games in this respect. Just have fun with it.

Vlog Ep. 70: Time Travel in Popular Media

This episode of #BaduyPride is all about the different depictions of time travel in popular media! We tried to focus on TV shows and movies but like time travel itself, the many possibilities sort of got away from us in time. The big challenge is that it could just be about time travel being an important part of the story or it's just some sort of framing device that sets up the story and not much beyond that.

I guess the best value of the episode is helping introduce you all to more time travel shows and movies that you may not have covered before. We had a really long list and so we could only speak about each one very succinctly, but it makes for quite a list of interesting media to explore.

Vlog Ep. 69: The Naughty & Nice Episode

Well, here it is - the 69th episode of #BaduyPride. People wanted things to get crazy naughty. We wanted to keep things kind of nice. So we ended up with an episode that tried to dance along that fine line in terms of things that we love and enjoy that are both Naughty and Nice.

So we ended up talking about a lot of different tabletop games including a few RPG systems that totally celebrate that naughty & nice feel. We covered a few examples of popular fiction including webcomics that are also cheekily naughty without crossing too many lines. I have to admit, this turned out to be a more interesting thematic episode than expected.

Vlog Ep. 68: Fluxx Overload

Today's #BaduyPride episode was all about Fluxx: The Ever-Changing Card Game. I was kind of surprised at just how many different editions of the game we own and it just speaks to our love for the franchise, I suppose. Plus it feels like there's a Fluxx for every occasion. 

Fluxx is definitely one of our favorite gateway games as it's pretty easy to learn for players of all backgrounds. And since there are so many versions that tie to different franchises, then it makes it even easier to get new players into the game.

Vlog Ep. 67: About Sesame Street

We love getting suggestions for #BaduyPride episodes since they can lead us to some pretty unexpectedly fun episodes. And this one all about Sesame Street turned out to be quite the delightful nostalgia trip for us and probably everyone else who grew up with the show and were with us during the stream. 

Sesame Street is an institution in itself and I feel like the animated nature of the discussion just reflects how many lives were changed by those lovable Muppets and all the other characters who called 123 Sesame Street home. And it's great that the franchise continues to go strong and will help teach new generations of children essential lessons they need to know.
