+nurmix Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I just caught up on the podcast, and I wanted to say I didn't find this segment entertaining. Yeah, it's a card game, but Rick clearly is enthusiastic about it and he had something worthwhile to say. The 'douchey' behavior got in the way. I would have enjoyed it better if Rick had done the segment by himself. Fair enough. My sense of humor doesn't appeal to everyone. Just to clarify, my thinking wasn't to slam Rick, who is a fantastic game reviewer (and the show wouldn't be what it is without him) - but to keep people listening who may have otherwise tuned out if it were simply 45 minutes of uninterrupted card game talk. Perhaps I got a little carried away. As I said, it wasn't really planned out, it just sort of happened. But a big part of our show is good natured / sarcastic ribbing, so I don't imagine people were taken aback by it.

atarifan88 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 @atarifan88 - funny! I'm sure Paul was trying to do exactly what you're describing. I did in fact wonder if I went into too much detail after listening to the final episode. I really like having a serious deep-dive into all these games, but I wondered if the whole community was listening and thinking "ok Rick, we get it... let it die already!" Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk No worries Rick. I still listened to the episode because you all can still make an ordinary game episode entertaining. That's what keeps me coming back. I have games on the INTV that I like and dislike. I look forward to the episodes of the games I love. The ones I don't I still listen to the other segments of interest in that episode. Not many podcasts can deliver like you guys do! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Now you and Rick just need to figure out how to play multiplayer Royal Dealer over the interwebs. Yeah, I am waiting for the LTO FLASH upgrade that will allow online connections. In the meantime, I think we'll need to break out a deck of cards at the next PRGE ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a big part of our show is good natured / sarcastic ribbing, so I don't imagine people were taken aback by it. Just to clarify - I wasn't put off by the ribbing you were giving Rick - the humor didn't work for me and it was hard for me to follow what Rick was saying, and I wanted to hear what he had to say. Thanks to you, Rick, Will and CMart for the work you put into the podcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to you, Rick, Will and CMart for the work you put into the podcast. Understood, and I appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately, I think it was hard for Rick to follow what Rick was saying too (which I realized more as I was editing and putting the episode together). I think I adequately expressed my lack of interest in the game being discussed - [unintentionally] at Rick's expense. But Rick is a good sport, and succeeded despite my childish antics. Going forward, I don't expect you'll hear anything else like that during a review. And I'd offer to send you the unedited version of the review, but that was pretty much what you heard in the episode already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Rick Reynolds Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 I sense a homebrew release coming - Cmart keeps throwing random concepts at me in an attempt to drown my personality in all these extra bits of nonsense; I have to dodge for as long as I can.

+intvsteve Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 You've joined the Penny-Farthing Assocation Racing Team, right Rick? And got the Cheez-It endorsement deal worked out? How's the deal with Wham-O coming along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
