I imagine that hosting the game will give you a slight advantage, though I haven't tested that theory at all.

I know that's what I blamed it on when my wife kept beating me to the buzzer.

"Fucking lag!" "HOST!" :lol:

I'll be playing with actual friends tonight. I might have time for your kind afterwards, around 10 Eastern or so.

I wouldn't say that I think I'm better than you, no.

Late night. Pacific Time.

You were already off last night when I popped on, the only player on the FL who was playing was Alanp, so I opted to not play with him.

depends on her day. last night it was around 8:30. However, I have a wife, small house and she doesn't care to sit there and watch me game all the time :(

What system? I only have a ps3, but i'm down tonight if you have it for ps3. Won't be until later though

I'm playing on the 360, but I'm sure there are a few PS3ers lurking about here.

Nope, it said you were playing in a cape though, so I didn't want to disturb that action.

I always play in a cape. Usually just that and boxers.

It's ok, I understand that my dizzying intellect can be pretty intimidating.

On a related note, I'd like to express my appreciation over the fact that even the status messages that this game assigns are hilarious.

Playing the same episode three times in a row so you can ace it does not make dizzying intellect. Sorry. ;)

Are you living in Hill Valley in 1955? It's ok to have two television sets.

Old small house, shitty wiring. Using the splitter on the cable outlet degrades the signal so much that the internet drops randomly. So the other tv is netflix/other movies only.

I'll be around. I'd say chuck would, but it's his birthday so I'm guessing he's forcing his wife to copulate.

I know next to nothing about You Don't Know Jack, other than the fact that it's a fast-paced trivia game. What I watched on Youtube from the game looked fun, though. I might pick it up in the future if I see it in a bargain bin. Too swamped right now.

It's not much of a single-player experience. If you have people to play with, then sure, wait. But if you're going to rely on the online community, I'd say jump in sooner than later.

Okay. Thanks for the warning.

I haven't done much research on it yet. I was under the impression it would be more of a single player game in the vein of Scene It! Something you could play in either mode.

Okay so i played a few episodes with my sister. Love it so far. But whenever her husband tried joining as the 3rd player it would boot her out of the game. I would send an invite to him but that would kick my sister off. They were playing on the same console but under different gamer tags. so what were they doing wrong?

You can play it alone, but the 73 episodes are the same every time. Eventually you'll memorize them, just like Scene It. Only difference is, here they aren't random (although the episode is).

Try having them host and invite you.

I think someone said that you can't play with a mix of network and local. It is either all network or all local, so if you and your sister are on the same system and her husband is online invite then that is probably the issue.

This game is amazing and worth every penny of the 30 bucks. I would have gladly paid the 40 retail for it. even single player it is funny, but obviously better with more people. I would get it now if i were you honestly while amazon still has it for 30

SRP on the game is $30, so no worries there, but the point still stands that Wick should stop being a baby and buy it now. For reals.

SRP is actually $39.99 (except for Wii, and we know that doesn't count anyway).

The price has now increased to $31.57 for the PS3 and 360 versions on Amazon.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 
Weird. It was only $29.99 at Gamestop.

RichC2 02-10-11 12:30 AM

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 
$29 @ Best Buy

They could've easily had the gibberish categories if they would've included a chat pad. Make it a $40 bundle and $30 stand alone if you already own one.

Yeah after the whole birthday text, birthday sex thing, my wife gave me a new Logitech guitar so I had to play RB3 last night. Should be up for some YDKJ tonight.

Game is incredibly fun, but I agree that the "Jack Attack" stuff seems sketchy. I found that if I pound the A button my answer is more likely to take. At the very least, it needs to make a noise or some other confirmation to say "Yes, we got your answer, but the other guy rang in first".

Also, mysteriously, players online who are doing great always seem to "coincidentally" stumble on the "Wrong Question of the Day". I think that feature was a terrible idea.
