Title: best videos you've watched
Post by: meandering mercury on November 13, 2013, 09:53:01 am
It's great that there are a lot of YouTube videos out there, but a lot of the games are pretty straightforward. I was thinking that in this thread we could spotlight our favorite videos (either ones you've played in, or watched) so that more people can enjoy them.

Or even if you don't have a favorite video, just one that you liked watching, where the outcome and the strategy weren't totally clear.

I'll start with a recent one from the last game of GokoDom II, where WW and SCSN take divergent strategies in a pretty close match:

I imagine most people will have seen this one (again featuring WW). If you haven't then I won't spoil the surprise by saying why I like it:

Perfect shuffle anti-luck, I'm guessing.

Ugh, that game. Well, looking at it now it's of course apparent that I badly misplayed it. I should have kept building--and mostly bought more Monuments--rather than dipping for points so soon. King's Court Monument twice and you've earned a Province that you don't have to add to your deck, so building more to do that is just way better.

Of course, what I did still should have been good enough to win, but eh, that happens.

Two from WW: an incredible win (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IULjY0DZ5U), and a hilarious failure (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsfCKVLyPH4). (Sorry WW!)

Best. Video. Ever!

I've watched it three times now and it still amazes me!

What amazes me is how fast they were able to play a game... That same game would take 30 minutes on goko...

Do you play with animations on slow or something?

No.  But I get enough lag that it can easily drag on for a long time...  30 minutes may be an exaggeration, but still...
