Codenames but we play like ABSOLUTE GENIUSES | Codenames w/ Friends 

If you see this what time is 7pm CST for people in the Mideast

That's 1am for my fellow brits :)

OMG I can finally watch! Happy Friday everyone! (I hate having to get up at 4 on weekdays!)

Wow we're getting spoiled tonight!

@@lunaraie7659 you’d have to tell me a more specific location so I can look up the time zone for you :)

I can see why Chilled cut the first game out of his video cuz of that line.

The fact that even after *that* bullshit he *seriously* considered making the next clue "Dominic Toretto 3" just makes me want to strangle Chilled all over again.

@@TheTaintedWisdom I would shouted "CHILLED YOU DIRTY LIAR! YOU SAID NO MORE MOVIE CLUES!"

Director: vin has directed but the clues in my head are, BBQ- family/beer-fav drink in FF/quarter-mile

Honestly, I'm a movie buff and I had no idea where he was going with the Vin Diesel clue lol. He just needs to get out of his own head and get more general with his clues.

I'm glad Tay would have guessed Scuba Steve for Scuba as well.

Me but I watched from shubble pov

Wasn't ninjutsu a type of martial arts that samurai could partake in? As in, anyone could learn to become a ninja by partaking in ninjutsu. But being a samurai was more of a rank as a soldier.

I'm not gonna argue with you on that, cause you're probably right and I haven't looked into real history on it, however there have been instances of pop culture where a shogun or someone else of equal power has had Ninja on the payroll to assassinate ppl, so I can understand it causing confusion. Will also point out that I only just got to that part of the video and have paused it at the time of this post so don't know if it is one of theirs or not.

@@megaslayer321a Oh they definitely were hired by the hypocritical shogunate.

Ninjas were assassins

Ninja were absolutely not rebels. They typically worked for whoever was paying them which is basically the opposite. They were spies and influencers first and foremost. Some did assassination missions. Jessica is absolutely correct on ninja. It was quite common for samurai to be ninja. "Ninja" isn't even the proper term for them. It's shinobinomono or simply shinobi. The idea of ninja you are referring to is just based on stories people made up to amuse others. But even many Japanese people believe this stuff so I understand why you do too. Also, samurai didn't really live in castles either. They were just a noble class that followed a lord and a code, similar to knights. Castles were typically used for defense, not as residences.

I found it funny that missile america and eagle where the bomb. Line what XD

@@Shyress The accuracy of RN Jesus that day was superb!

Yes. The Trojan Horse was from the Trojan War, between the Mycenaean Greeks from the modern Greece area, and the Trojan Greeks from the NW coast of modern Turkey. The entire conflict predated the founding of Rome by centuries.

The thing is, the clues don't have to be 100% correct, they just gotta make you associate to the same things. So yeah, it's Greek, but Greek and Roman societies shared a lot, so it makes sense in the context of this game.

The Romans considered themselves descendents of the Trojans. It's why their epic poem is The Aeneid, and it follows Trojan refugees trying to establish Rome.

YEP!

@@thespankmyfrank Technically, as much as I hate giving the Greeks more fuel to their obsessive adamance towards claiming history of the world, without the Greeks, Romans and thus Italians would have never came to exist. Rome only came to be because of Greek colonization of the peninsula we call Italy today, and having left behind those who chose to stay put and build their own societies instead.

I can vouch for this too~

Oh I was thinking about the year of the pig and various if that had anything to do with asian culture but not too sure.

Desert isn't very accurate. You'd probably be closer with "cold, barren wasteland".

@@kamikazesopp no desert is accurate. Doesn’t necessarily mean hot.

@@mr.marino1120 Hm, googled it now, and apparently it's described as "desert like". Shows how little I know. 😂

He was right about pepper, to be fair.

The Romans believed they were descendants of Aeneas of Troy, so there is some connection there

Correct me if I’m wrong but the Trojan horse predates Rome. The only link there is the fact that the Roman founder had some Trojan ancestors. I think it was just a misconception that it happened in Rome because the word was on the board and they were trying to think of any links

@@simoneingleson4280 Yes. The Trojan horse was several centuries before the founding of Rome. But the two are linked in Mythology through Aeneas and through 'common knowledge' through both being ancient societies and that's the crux of this game. This thing makes me think of that thing even if it's hard to draw a concrete logical line from one to the other.

@@hillrp1 I’m not saying it’s wrong to draw a line between the two but if you listen they’re actually debating if it happened in Rome. I already said that there was Troy ancestory within the founding of Rome

@@simoneingleson4280 No, I completely agree. I'm sorry if my comment came of more adversarial than I intended it. Yes it predates Rome and No it did not happen in what was then Rome or what would later be founded as Rome. Rome's history of expansion does mean that they conquered Anatolia, what we would now call Turkey, so I suppose in that sense it happened in a land that was eventually Roman. But that's a stretch.

In the physical game, there’s a rule that you can only guess one more than the number, so if the video game also abides by that rule, they might want to pick, like, 15 or something so their guesses aren’t stopped. I would love to see this idea, though!

@@juliagibbs32 thank you so much for teaching me this information, it's always good to learn. haven't played the game myself, yet, but boy is it sure fun to watch!

@@juliagibbs32 There's an infinity option, so that should work well.

Funny thing is, Chilled went for the same 3 words with Burger after that. I guess you could just cast a Burger for the Vin Diesel movie and nobody would notice.

I mean, they thought Ninja is Chinese and Jet Li is Korean, so...

Was it? I've always thought it was made in Egypt

The first known existence of paper is from Egypt using the papyrus plant. Chinese were first in gun powder.

The problem is mostly the the word asia in itself. Cause its difficult when you use a word that can fit more of the other words than just the ones your team is supposed to guess. Sum totally made sense because of "Rising sun." While she probably meant paper as in origami.

Phoenix is absolutely a part of Chinese culture. It's not exactly the 'phoenix that rises from the ashes' that the western world knows of but the fenghuang (鳳凰) is definitely a big part of Chinese culture, often associated with feminine traits like symbolizing the Empress. Please don't spread misinformation if you're not well-versed in Chinese culture.

Also, Chilled flipping about some dude with elephants surprise attacking another country, definitely ain't Alexander the Great sieging most of Asia but most likely refers to Hannibal (An African) attacking Rome and actually nearly succeeding

also also, Rome indeed didn't get invaded by Troje considering it happned decades apart HOWEVER, Rome was according to legendd founded by Remus and Romulus who were descendents of Trojan nobility escaping the massacre at Troje

Additionally, the modern depiction of ninjas as wearing all black is actually stagehand outfits. People dressed in all black would move things around to generate "special effects", and the audience was supposed to pretend nothing was there --- so when one of these suddenly pulled a knife and killed someone, it was a big surprise!

A small clarifier: while there were ninja who were solely rebellious farmers, there were also professional ninja for a while in Japanese history, consisting of (essentially) scouts and saboteurs. They are famed IN Japanese history for several assaults on castles where they destroyed infrastructure ahead of the battle or acquired valuable intel on enemy positions. So it's a mixed bag: they never HAD castles, as was suggesting, but they were associated with them. Indeed, the modern Ninja museum in Japan is in a restored castle from the period.

You'd require a bit of cultural knowledge to know that. It could almost as easily refer to Great Britain's old slogan "The empire on which the sun never sets". xP

The two get lumped together

Kong will probably win. These sorts of movies aren't determined by reason, they are determined by fanbase/audience expectations. Kong is the American monster and Godzilla is the Japanese monster, and the movie is American. Having said that, they'll possibly do the whole "Fight gets interrupted by a bigger bad that makes them settle their differences and team up" cliche.

@@AdamGoodtime247 no they won't the director says he intends there to be a definite Winner. Plus the fanbase isn't in favor of Kong AT ALL.. American AND Japanese fans are all in favor of Godzilla winning and many have noted how they'd be displeased if Kong won too. The movie expectations are that Godzilla is king and it should stay that way.

To answer your point about BBQs: there are actually multiple groups and regions that would object to classifying burgers or hot dogs as barbecue: to those groups, those are "cook-out" or "grilled" foods. Technically, "barbecue" refers to "meat, cooked in smoke, over low heat, for an extended period of time, until the connective tissues break down, and the smoke flavors the meat". It ALSO refers to "a smoker, pit, or grill, in which one can or does make barbecue" AND "an event at which barbecue (or foods prepared on a barbecue) are served". And that parenthetical is a detail people argue about: to some people, if actual 'barbecue' is not served at the event, it is a "cookout", 'get-together', or other phrase. While others say "eh, we cooked it on the grill, which we also call a barbecue, so it's a barbecue." So to one group, Burgers and Hot Dogs are the epitome of barbecue food (as you note), while to others, they're perfectly good foods, they're just not barbecue. They might be SERVED at a Barbecue (since, you know, if you just used a grill to make Brisket, you can crank the heat up and grills some burgers while it rests), but they're not 'real barbecue.' It's a very weird and messy little issue in American linguistics, with different standards for what counts as what. (Typically, the distinction is maintained more rigorously by Southerners, and/or Black communities.) And of course, it's not something most people THINK all that hard about, so it's likely Shubble just vaguely knew that burgers aren't "really" BBQ , but she wouldn't be able to explain why.

i’ve played soccer my entire life and my school used spray paint? 😂

@@shandibullington1422 Probably regional differences to it. lol. Basically me and D4 end up being screaming Ostriches in my head haha

There are Chinese phoenixes too, they often symbolised the empress while the dragon represented the emperor. They dodn't have much in common with the European mythology around fire birds.

But the clue was Asia in general, not Japan specifically, so it still would have worked

He do be cute

he’s literally eating while playing a game, and i’m over here like “🥰” he’s so damn cute.

Seriously!

Well the Yankees haven't won a championship in over 20 years, what's your point?

@@alexhicks7266 what the fuck are you smoking? We won in 2009, which was 12 years ago and the Mets haven’t won since 1986, which was 35 years ago

@@kingfishcakes69 oh I'm sorry you won 1 championship in 20 years, I'm sorry. I'm not that much into baseball, but what are you smoking, since Tom Brady is the GOAT of football, and I don't even like any of the teams he has been on.
