Show Notes
- Ben blows up several drive-thru queues in his post-move fast food binge, Josh buys an electric car and installs yet more bling in his tricked-out custom PC, and they both reflect on how the Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien is really just a bedtime story wrapped in a bad Dungeons and Dragons campaign.
- Intro & Follow-up (0-19:30)
- Area 51 is a real thing, but it’s boring
- Minecraft is actually the 2nd best-selling game of all time
- The 11th thing every game needs (brought to you by Bad at Magic):
- Minimized downtime
- If you’re sitting around doing nothing for too much time it gets, well, boring. Your game needs to have a way for non-active players to remain engaged other than just watching you play.
- Examples include: short turns, rapid gameplay, simultaneous actions, planning your next turn, etc.
- Minimized downtime
- Ben vs. Bureaucracy (19:30-51:22)
- Bad at Logic (51:22-54:50)
- Bad at English (54:50-56:24)
- “Done and dusted“: completely finished, a reference to putting powder on what you’ve just written with your quill. US: “signed, sealed, delivered”.
