WIL WHEATON: Hello internet.
This week's TableTop gag reel is less a gag reel and more
roughly four minutes of stuff that happened around the table
that we all thought was really funny and amusing but just
didn't really fit into the episode, so it didn't make it
into the first cut.
It's somewhere in between a gag reel and an extended cut.
I don't know if it's the best idea for us, in terms of gag
reel experimenting.
But I'm sure you'll let me know in the comments.
I hope you enjoy it.
Next week we'll be back with a brand new episode.
It is Forbidden Island, including my friends John
Scalzi, Jason Finn, and Bobak Ferdowsi, who a lot of you
know as NASA Mohawk Guy.
It's a really fun episode, and a cooperative game.
I think it's the first cooperative game
we've played this year.
So I hope you will enjoy it.
This weekend, I will be with John Scalzi in Phoenix,
Arizona, for the Phoenix Comicon.
And next weekend, Felicia Day and I will be in Denver for
the Denver Comic Con.
So bring out your TableTop goodies and we'll
look at them together.
And we'll be like, those are some really
nice TableTop goodies.
Way to go.
All right.
Best new thing in the world today, which I'm stealing from
Rachel Maddow--
because, by the way, I was kind of on the
Rachel Maddow show--
is Amy Dallen's vlog as part of the new Geek and Sundry
Vlog series.
You've gotta go watch it.
Amy's amazing.
And her vlog is fantastic.
So I hope you enjoy it.
I hope you enjoy this not a gag reel gag reel.
And, until we meet again, play more games.
King of Tokyo is a press-your-luck dice game
designed by Richard Garfield, who gave the
world Magic: the Gathering.
I'm sorry.
My brain was like, make a joke about that.
But then the other part of my brain was like,
don't, that's stupid.
You don't need to.
And then--
well, we all know what happened.
The lightning bolts let us buy these energy cubes.
No, actually, I think you're gonna go first.
GREG ZESCHUK: With what?
WIL WHEATON: Within the game.
Because you have--
you're, I think--
I mean, like, come on.
Guys.
Right?
JOHN BAIN: Larger beard has right of way, right?
CRAIG BENZINE: Best beard.
WIL WHEATON: Best beard.
GREG ZESCHUK: You just want me to get into Tokyo City
first, don't you?
WIL WHEATON: If you--
I'll tell you what.
If you want to go--
if you want to go downstairs and remove your beard and then
come back, you won't go first.
GREG ZESCHUK: I need one energy as well, I believe.
WIL WHEATON: I've just been handed a note.
JOHN BAIN: OK.
WIL WHEATON: The note says player number one's name is
John, not Jim.
Which means that I called you Jim--
JOHN BAIN: You did.
WIL WHEATON: But I meant to call you John.
But no one wanted to correct to me in the moment, so for an
entire round everyone was laughing at what an [BLEEP]
hole I am.
Thanks, everybody.
JOHN BAIN: I was laughing on the inside the entire time.
WIL WHEATON: I'm sure you were.
That's great.
That's great!
I lose at games, and I lose at knowing
the names of my guests.
I am the best loser in all of TableTop.
I'm amazing.
John, my apologies, sir.
JOHN BAIN: No problem whatsoever.
WIL WHEATON: Of all the Belushis, you should have a
name with the good one.
And I'm very, very sorry for that.
CRAIG BENZINE: Oh, oh.
JOHN BAIN: Well.
CRAIG BENZINE: And then I could punch all of you.
Once, couldn't I?
Monkey punch.
JOHN BAIN: You could.
Or, perhaps, you could not.
CRAIG BENZINE: I'll take your argument into consideration.
And then I won't.
So I'm going to punch everybody.
JOHN BAIN: Mecha Dragon cares not for your flippantry.
WIL WHEATON: It was, of course, Abbot and Costello
versus King Kong.
CRAIG BENZINE: Yeah.
Where's the Abbot Costello piece?
WIL WHEATON: They're in the expansion.
GREG ZESCHUK: Yeah, they'd be--
they'd be really powerful.
Big, big Costello.
Raar.
JOHN BAIN: Mecha-Costello.
WIL WHEATON: Not a lobster.
The Kraken.
JOHN BAIN: Why do you want take over Tokyo, anyway?
You're an underwater monster.
This is distinctly not underwater.
This makes no logical sense.
GREG ZESCHUK: I really like the bay, though.
WIL WHEATON: Why do you want to take over Tokyo?
You're a mechanical dragon.
What do you care?
JOHN BAIN: Quite frankly, my plan cannot be comprehended by
your pitiful mortal brains.
Look at this-- this nonsense.
WIL WHEATON: Of the four of us, I'm the only one who has
actually taken over Tokyo at one point of time in a legally
distinctly different way from what I'm doing now.
JOHN BAIN: And what is the IQ level of Gigazaur, exactly?
CRAIG BENZINE: Typical lizard--
WIL WHEATON: Green.
All right.
Take a damage.
I heal a damage.
Are you yielding or staying?
JOHN BAIN: I don't call it yielding.
I call it a tactical redeployment.
WIL WHEATON: Oh, yes.
Of course.
GREG ZESCHUK: Yes.
WIL WHEATON: Look at that.
CRAIG BENZINE: My dreams came true.
GREG ZESCHUK: See if you can convince him to
turn the three over.
Just using, like, psychic--
WIL WHEATON: Just see if you can make it happen.
JOHN BAIN: Would you kindly, please, move--
CRAIG BENZINE: Say that it's, uh--
WIL WHEATON: You re-rolled it anyway, and still got a three.
JOHN BAIN: Why'd you re-roll it.
WIL WHEATON: He doesn't have the card anymore.
JOHN BAIN: You realize I haven't had the
card for about a turn.
CRAIG BENZINE: Oh, you don't!
GREG ZESCHUK: It's been tossed away.
CRAIG BENZINE: Oh geez.
GREG ZESCHUK: See, I told you, anything around this card,
people kind of forget what's going on.
Like, it affected me.
And I feel so much sharper because of it.
JOHN BAIN: I feel that was a moral victory, really.
WIL WHEATON: Really, it was.
JOHN BAIN: Just convincing him to reroll the dice.
CRAIG BENZINE: It's the accent.
I prefer having card, as opposed to
lack of having card.
JOHN BAIN: Well, unfortunately the energy is all--
you see this?
Can you argue with that?
You wanna try?
CRAIG BENZINE: I wanna eat it.
WIL WHEATON: It's very shiny.
It's very shiny, and you are a monkey.
CRAIG BENZINE: Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Who does Gigazaur follow on Gigatwitter?
JOHN BAIN: Gigazaur, mostly.
WIL WHEATON: He follows Justin Giga.
And Lady Giga.
Yes.
GREG ZESCHUK: This could go for a long time.
WIL WHEATON: All right.
Now we're gonna make this all official for you.
CRAIG BENZINE: Ooh.
He's winking.
WIL WHEATON: He's winking.
Just like you do in your videos!
I know, it's amazing!
Now, if you could get off my couch, that would be great.
Ah, I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner.
Suckers.
