What do you guys think of Board Games?

What do you guys think of posting BoardGame Walkthoughs?

[Maceman]

Like recorded with a camera?

[Jynks]

yeah

[Maceman]

But then where do we draw the line? I remember a while back of a speed run of a guy going to McDonalds - it showed him drive there, etc.

We don't have the data for board games, and I don't think the submissions would be sufficient enough to make it worthwhile.

Perhaps if there was enough interest (enough people recording board games), then we could add it as a system. I don't expect there to be too much interest for this though.

Buy me an airplane ticket to your house, and I'll record you playing Monopoly with Japan. <_< There is always interest, trust me.

[Jynks]

thats cool. if your not interested... just thought I would ask.

I stopped posting as I kinda fell out of the computer game scene and into tabletop scene. I got a email for something bringing me back so thought I would just ask.

Depends what you mean, there are 100s of chans that do board game playthoughs.. not as many as computer games. but still it is a live utube gaming scene.

TableTop gets around 2million hits a video.. it has "celebrities" on it though
Whatch it Played has like 30K subs or somthing.
etc etc

Off topic: That's a very nice LP. I bought the game recently and in does play like a streamlined version of Arkham Horror - which is not a bad thing.

[Maceman]

Is there a database of board games that we could have access to, to be able to have all the info such as publisher, release date, box art?

I'll look into this. I added it to my list of other things to do, so it may take a while until I actually get around to it.
