Finally got to play this. SO awesome. Totally true to the original but better. I used to play alone at work when the internet first came out so I've just been doing that so far (or, as the manual says, "If you have no friends..."), but we'll have some people over this weekend and give it a shot. Way cool they put this out, and for $29.99 you really can't go wrong...

So apparently you can't get the worst answer of the game if you're being screwed at the time. I KNOW that I picked the right wrong answer for the Insincere Greeting Card Company (Because I just know it) and I didn't get credit because some moron screwed me... I knew the right answer, but opted to go for the 8000 instead. And I got fucked. FUCK YOU COOKIE MASTERSON!

pinata242

Yeah, I think we learned that the first day or two.

I can see arguments both ways. I mean, you were screwed...

But this is also why I tend not to screw until after I know the WAotG has passed. Or if I know it can't be on this question (like the ordering questions).

Liver&Onions

Well I missed that memo.

HALL MARK AND OATES MOTHERFUCKER!

Same here, and I really think it just varies from episode to episode. I've been playing the episodes mostly in order, and there's an occasional tricky one mixed in between obvious ones.

That was one of the trickier ones. There was an earlier answer that I thought would fit, something about Disney greeting cards for the mothers of characters and one of the choices was Jasmine from Aladdin. Incensere Greeting Cards? Anyone? No? I was clearly overthinking it.

Sigh, alan you made me do it anyway. I almost quoted this at L&O earlier today but now I have to. Welcome to a week ago, n00bs.

Let me know when you get to the awesome one for "U-Plan-It Murder Supplies". That was a fun one.

Liver&Onions

how the hell is that a quote at me? I knew the answer, and Jasmine wasn't it because it said something about being a treasure. Jeeze.

pinata242

Just because you repeated my post from a week ago

Liver&Onions

well, you've been posting spoilers, so i've been avoiding those for the most part. Mr. 57 episodes played.

pinata242

I'd be done too if people were as lame as I was on Saturday.

I've been playing a few episodes each night with my wife, which is why I haven't done any online. Honestly, I don't even really have the desire to do any online games with it at this point. It seems like a lot would be lost with talking over the headset. 2-4 people in a room playing together? Yes. Trying to worry about conversations on headsets and pay attention to the jokey jokes? No.

Also..congrats to A Patch of Blue for ruling the leaderboards. I wish he'd get cancer.

pinata242

No one talks online anyway.

Groucho

It's real hard to chat in this game because Cookie is talking the entire time.

UncleGramps

Most people playing this game online either say nothing or just laugh at the jokes. I haven't really missed any jokes by playing online. But it's cool...be anti-social...no problem...

...I miss you...

superfro

Well that may change things then...I don't know...there's just something about YDKJ that feels like it would be lost by playing with others not in the room. Maybe because with my wife and I it's not competitive at all and if I played online with folks it might get too FTW FOR REALZ.

pinata242

No, I totally get that. But my "actual" friends aren't interested in this. We drink. Heavily.

I rely on my Internet friends for that. Luckily I've played with Gramps, Grouch, L&O, chuck, and alan. So that's good

Groucho

I call shenanigans. In the other thread you claimed that you played poker with your "actual" friends. And everybody knows that poker and drinks do not mix!

pinata242

Those are my "poker friends" that I'm trying to replace with xboxes. As opposed to my "actual friends" who don't use said devices. I know, it's confusing.

Groucho

Whew. Thought you were tampering with a deadly combination there.

pinata242

Grrrr. Two consecutive games I've been disconnected from XBL, the first time actually as the final scores are being displayed so I didn't get credit for the WAotG I got earlier. Everything else in the house is working fine and there's nothing on @XboxSupport that it's happening to anyone but me. Fantastic.

MoviePage

I knew you posted it, but I didn't look at it at the time because it was a spoiler. I'm determined to find all the prizes on my own. And since it was a week ago, it's now old news and out of sight.

pinata242

Finally saw the alternate #9 intro

Love this game, been too long since I've played it, and it's great to introduce it to newcomers. I only wish you can play extended sessions, like in The Ride. Like the addition of the Wrong Answer of the game...I played a number of sessions yesterday, got the wrong answer purposefully once, and accidentally twice (along with a friend who got the same two)...was relieved that it netted me $8k.

By the way, if anybody wants to add me on PSN, I am bluetoast2. Just put a message saying who you are from DVDTalk though.

pinata242

No. I don't remember that. Two, yes. Nine, no.

It's near the end of the game.
