I mean, Alex clearly has the darkest mind out if any LRRer, and Graham did marry Kathleen and she has the second darkest so he's probably used to statements like the answers on a daily basis...
Andrew Sparkes Alex doesn't *quite* have the darkest sense of humour but he's up there with Beej and Ian in having the most distinctive. Kathleen's is very cynical, though, and Cam's is just black as pitch. (The gentlest is probably Ben or Adam but they roll with the weird stuff well.)
"In bourgeois society, capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is sweating it out on the streets of a runaway American Dream." What a sentence to come out of a game like that. Too perfect.
"5... 4... 3.... 2... 1.... shit!" sounds like our government's web server crashing whenever something new happens. They also like the word unprecedented, they use it even when there is an established precedent for it.
I identify with Graham and Alex, as when I play this game, I always explode into uncontrollable maniacal laughter. And no one else is. Help me, please.
I always get so excited when LRR do CAH; I know it can get old if over done, but would LOVE to see this on some regular AFK streams. Thanks for all the great content; loaf you guys
"It's been a long day, this'll be amusing while I eat dinner and not require me to think" .THREE NEAR-CHOKING MOMENTS LATER: "Errors have been made, but fuck if I'm going to stop now"
as a young fella named ian that is a yank that spent a fair amount of time down in panhandle of florida i can say i appreciate Ian's posh southern accent.
0:47 My group basically has a "weeb pack" with all the custom cards made from the blanks. White cards: Anime tiddies. Children's card games. Getting in the fucking robot. Magical tea parties. Mai waifu. "THAT". Black cards: Behold the power of my stand, 「______」!! If I was a magical girl, what would my cute mascot sidekick be? Only ______ can master ______ and bring balance to the world.
The CAH makers spending your $25 on politics is actually perfect, given the story they told about how difficult it was to get a license for their theatre when Graham and Beej visited them.
I'm of the opinion that if you remove a card, you are not playing the game right anyway. If you are offended by anything, you simply should not play it as it is a game specifically designed to be offensive and should not be taking seriously. But that's just me.
I enjoy basically all your guys' content, but I remain unsure if CAH is a great fit. At least occasionally, when you (understandably) go "Big oof, that's kind of Problematic." At least for me, that is in fact the point of the game, being as over-the-top problematic and offensive as possible for humor. Really lets the air out of the room for my viewing experience. Just seems like it's not a good fit, our approaches to the game. Hey, it happens.
They've said multiple times that they don't find playing it that way fun anymore... Trying to be overly offensive got stale and boring after the first couple times playing it, and since they're "professional funny people" they just try to be funny instead of just offensive for the sake of being offensive.
Honestly, I've played CAH with people who took "be as offensive as possible" as an immutable rule of thumb and it was honestly the least funny and enjoyable experience I've ever had with the game because it was just two people being petulant that they didn't win over funnier jokes by hamfistedly shoving controversial square pegs like "Madeliene McCann" into round holes where they didn't scan, land, or even make coherent sense. The game is going to be ribald as a matter of course, but "the aim is to crank up the shock" gets old real fast, and there's nothing wrong with cutting cards that the playgroup agree have more offence potential than humour potential.
