Monikers || AFK 2022-12-07 

Graham looks so much better, he got his color back, his beard and hair are slowly coming back, and he's slowly looking like his old self again. As a cancer survivor myself, I can't help but crack a smile every time I see him. I used to watch tons of LRR during my own miserable chemo times, so... Good to have you back, G-Money. ❤

This was one of those episodes where as soon as it ended my first thought was "I can't wait for them to play this again."

I love alexs tactic of repeating the word until his teammate has the answer psychicly beamed to them.

Alex aggressively repeating words will never fail to bring joy. It has remained true in the entire almost 2 decades of LRR.

Whoo, my donation finally made it to the table. Glad they liked the game.

What in the hyper specific hell!? How were Jacob and I at the same Spider man musical!? He said “And then the green goblin got stuck for half an hour” To which I had a a slum dog millionaire style flashback of looking at the green goblin awkwardly dangle in front of me in New York on his glider. Unless I’m misremembering this whole affair in which case this is VERY awkward. For context, I was there with my high schools band for our big trip at the time to New York. I’m from a small town in the south and going to the “big Apple”was a REALLY big deal at the time. And if memory serves the time frame would be around May of 2012. Either way keep up the good work y’all this video was amazing!

At around 41 minutes, three people laughed for a solid, interminable, unflinching sixty seconds; Jacob, Graham, and me. I can't breathe. Thank you.

I now *need* to see Ian and Jacob play this together.

this is a fever dream of an afk, yiff, power bottom, jacob air jerking and table humping, QUALITY content 10/10

I'm here from the highlights, because this looked amazing, and turns out - it is! I not only wanna see more of this, but I'm buying a copy right now.

I read about the "YIF YIF YIF" moment in the comments before seeing it, and I STILL had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard. I can't wait for you guys to do this again.

This episode deserves a dedicated highlight reel.

As an update, YES! There was a Canadian TV game show that was literally just charades. It was called Acting Crazy. And I concur with Alex, if you have bigger teams, a dedicated stage area would be pretty great for visibility. Small side table for the deck or something like that.

Had to pause the stream at "YIFF YIFF YIFF" because I was laughing too hard to process anything else for a while Edit: And again at Jacob's gesture for the Marquis

This game was a revelation. I beg you to play with Cameron, Ian, Adam and Beej.

This stream was absolutely an all-timer and now my face hurts.

love jacobs slowly breaking as he realises "oh god thats on the internet forever"

I have not laughed this hard in awhile. This stream was a delight.

I hope Alex frantically yelling "yiff" over and over makes it to the highlight reel.

I love Jacob and Alex. We need more of them. Also Graham and Alex are dope too.

Alex learning about Caligula on camera was a real treat.

Trying to have this as my background video while I played Pokemon was a mistake because this video demanded my full attention.

Graham as a noticeable hairline and moustache again, nature is healing and so is Graham.

I didn't expect an important life lesson in a FAQ... should read those more often

I just want to say Matt is very good at Charades, and "the crash" just about killed me with laughter.

I know in the heat of the moment mind goes blank, but man am I thinking "you have Hal 9000! Your one word should be 'Daisy Daaiissyy' for perfection."

By round 2 this game reallllly takes off

Urban Dictionary feels that "shmeng" is a word, although it offers not etymology so it isn't impossible that Alex created it. Rather than a general term for unpleasant crud, it references specific unpleasant crud.

The face Jacob's making in the thumbnail clinched whether I was going to watch now or later.

Holy Crap. Graham looks just like a younger version of his Dad in the thumbnail.

59:04 Jacob is my comedy crush for that back-to-back, hahaha

JACOB OH MY GOD THE TABLE

I'm absolutely howling at Paul's Babar joke!

Graham's kraken impression will live in my head rent free from now on

I wanna propose to LRR the way my friend group usually plays Monikers (which IMO works better with small player counts): Instead of having two teams, you just have one person giving clues to everyone else. We often don't keep score, but if we did, it'd be per cluegiver. (Yes that means there's an incentive for hyper-competitive people to never guess. So just don't play with hyper-competitive people; it's not supposed to be a hyper-competitive game.)

I'm always super excited to see Jacob! We need more of his beautiful face!

So, I've played a version of this with magic cards, riffing on the "guess your fate" attraction. We used our calendar decks, so it was cards we all knew. It went really well, we limited ourselves to 3 words.

The expansions for Monikers really take it to 11. Also, Time's Up is quite similar but based on movies and TV shows.

I have learned exactly one mind-boggling thing from this stream and it is that "chessboxing" is a real thing that exists. o___o also YES IAN AND BEEJ. IAN! AND! BEEJ! IANANDBEEJ

What a great group of people and a fun game. Matt was so great at the charade rounds! That Princess Diana and the parkour!

1:06:22 Hey! A “The Panalysts” reference!

Love this game. My version is called times up, specifically "times up: Title recall". My preferred version because it's titles of media instead of names. Much easier to get someone to guess toy story if they don't know it, than guess a person they don't know

"team with lowest score goes first next round" - immediately forgotten

This stream was hysterical, I can't wait for the next time you play it! I think I have an idea for how I would act out Marquis de Sade but uh... I'll refrain from actually typing it out

Great show! Really look forward to seeing this game played again.

I'll be honest, if I had to act out Marquis de Sade, because I don't actually know much about it, I'd probably resort to trying to act out an unhappy tent.

If I was in the next game I’d absolutely make sure Jacob was there too, and that the Marquis de Sade card was too

I have not laughed that hard at anything you folks have done in a long time. Encore! Also, for Marquis du Sade: Stand upright, proudly. Motion as if unfurling the contents of your trousers on to the table. Then gesture as though you are hammering a nail through it. While, yes, that might be more masochistic than sadistic, I think it would get the point across quite firmly in that given context.

My only regret is that the entire internet won’t see Jacob’s Marquis de Sade

This was a blast and I eagerly await its many returns.

we need more of this!

41:04. You know which round this one was. 2:10:05. You also know which round this one lead into.

Graham looks a lot like Andy Partridge of XTC, now. This is a good thing to look like :)

Please play this again! It was hilarious to see, i’m hurting from how much I laughed

Alex there are 2 rat king bosses in Dark souls 2

This was so fun to watch!

you act out "Marquis de sade" with a whip

Yif! Yif! Yif! Yif!

Such a good stream - thanks yall!

This was great thanks!

That was insane but one of the funniest things I've ever seen

And the start shows why Live TV shows double mic the talent.

Matt is good at pantomime.

In my language the game is called The Hat and the second round is my favorite

I had no clue who Marquis de Sode was when I watched this, but after googling them, I burst out.

The thumbnail kind of looked like Graham and Jacob where being confronted with AU versions of themselves.

Freaking love the updated intro

Took way too long to remember the name Stella Liebeck (the coffee lady), but twice you counted it as super easy like coffee burned lady... like its a 4 point card because it's hard

More of this, please.

glad Jacob beat me to correcting Graham's left and right.

Ratking thing; honestly same, surprised it hasn't shown up in the Souls games Seems like it would be right up their ally. Likewise, haven't seen it in DnD, seems like a perfect boss monster or such. Could even tie in with Pied Pipers. A giant rat that controls an army of rats thru a flute, etc

What an entire game. Incredible.

that cackle .... amazing

Okay so I think Alex's fursona is officially a fox after that...

I would love to see you play this again. It's such a fun one to watch.

Just press 3 on your numpad for an amazing time with Alex on this one!

I was just getting used to bald graham, and here I am surprised by graham having hair :P

What a marvellous stream! Eager to see it return to LRR. One teeny tiny correction though. There *is* a mechanical change in an expansion. The Serious Nonsense box includes a little booster pack of "Fourth Rounds" with incredibly daft constraints. The bit is that if you want to play a 4th round you can randomise into one of them.

Well, Paul, to be perfectly honest I don't really know how to act out debilitating tertiary syphilis.

love the mix of the cast! jacob at the end ended me

Just imagining Beej an Ian playing this game is already.... giving me nightmares But would love to see!

1:43:36, My objection is entirely tongue in cheek, and mostly based on the fact I retain enough fluency to know what my handle means >P.

I, too, enjoy YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF

This was so good! Great game!

I still think Monikers: the Gathering could absolutely work 😆

Pretty sure I've never laughed so hard.

Round 2 is way easier for us Germans with our composite words lmao

Matt would make an amazing mime

Graham mohawk please? You don't have to keep it, but just once mohawk pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase

oh my god.

The parts where ya'll just do charades makes me think ya'll should play The Mind.

Elaborate plot to get Adam to say "Dick!"?

Monikers sounds like the name for a group of people named "Monica"

Is Graham's mike... Mike 5?

No one! Can do the marquis better than Jacob

Graham dabbing gif please?

I'm so sorry, I swear I love you all. But I have a VISCERAL hatred for Jackson Pollock and his work so when his name came up I angry-glared at the screen. I feel so guilty now.
