Feels Villeneuve posted:i think this specific action would likely be a slow play/stalling violation, rather than a "misrepresenting the game state" violation, depending on the context Arena explicitly encourages players to bluff by turning on full control so you don't automatically pass priority (and to feign defenselessness by passing priority quickly so your opponent doesn't suspect you have instant interaction). rickiep00h posted:Someone is going to win every game of Magic.

Silhouette posted:Enough about dickhead moves in casual games, watch the funniest goddamn edh video ever made As someone who never watched a Professor video is he always this awkward and cringe? I couldn't play with someone with that energy for more than 2 or 3 turns. Also, agree with one of the comments on the video. Why is there light, awful music being played during the game. It's kind of distracting and takes away from just listening to 4 dudes jam a game and talk.

Because otherwise there's lots of dead air, it's something essentially every gameplay show does (Spike Feeders is the only high profile one I can think of that doesn't but that's much more tightly edited with less table talk)

Lieutenant Centaur posted:As someone who never watched a Professor video is he always this awkward and cringe? My general read on the Professor is that, yeah he's got some general 'Dad Joke' energy that leads to him being a bit cringeworthy in that harmless way, he's also got a generally decent sense of ways to channel that in a table dynamic, and in this video he has absolutely identified that the best way to play that is to be a big silly dork around three people who are rock-solid straight men being introduced to the dumbest side of Magic. He's not always like that; off the top of my head I remember that in the Doctor Who episode he had a more appropriately kind of 'subtle trickster' angle to go with his Seventh Doctor deck. (But also that episode had TeferiMagic going full ham, so he was hardly the biggest personality at that table.) As to the music... as someone who also makes Youtube videos, you'd be surprised how much some light music improves the energy of a video that's otherwise just talking. Not just in setting the tone, but also in keeping it feeling a lot more lively and energetic in general. My videos feel downright anaemic before the music gets added in editing. It also helps paper over minor audio issues. Also: I like that this video shows me that the Professor also thinks the funniest thing to do with Universes Beyond cards is to put exactly one in an otherwise normal deck.

He is a good showman and know exactly how to act to let his guests shine. Which is good because, like every other person I know with degrees in creative writing, he can't write for poo poo.

He absolutely hams up the Shuffle up and Play episodes and they vary pretty wildly based on group makeup. When everyone there is trying to hard to be bombastic and quippy it can sometimes be difficult to stomach for sure. As a content creator though unless something changes he's basically unimpeachable in my mind as a progressive, consumer first player who genuinely just loves the game and wants to provide something useful with his material. It more than makes up for any awkwardness in a given episode.

you can agree with his opinions while also thinking he's pretty unwatchable and often leans into being extremely over the top because most creators feel they have to flanderize themselves in search of keeping and growing an audience I appreciate the charity work he does

So far in this Falllout set, Preston crates a new settlement every turn and Liberty Prime's colors are red, white and blue. It's already perfect.

After Wil Wheaton turned into a superbeing in the 24th century, he traveled back in time and changed his appearance and became The Professor. He's living his best life, again.

yeah again I just feel like stuff like the premature ejaculation joke clashes with the overall presented vibe. The bit at the end with just Cedric and Patrick straight facing each other was by far the best part for me. Resleevables tournament edition vibes.
