    I wish the road kill game from The Ride was back. Do they really only have 3 kinds of questions? Regular, Dis or Dat, and Jack Attack? Seems lazy compared to previous titles.

    Oh God

    I've never played a YDKJ before but that video has me super-excited

    Please tell me we are going to be organizing here and doing regular games

    There's definitely a few new interesting twists there, like how everyone on the console version can take swings at questions, or how the other players still can chime in on Dis or Dat's.

    Wonder if those will show up in the computer version, or if it'll be more "traditional". Also, if everyone's answering the normal questions, what do Screws do?

    Everyone getting to answer is an awesome addition and means my fast reading speed won't make my wife not want to play! Fantastic.

    You're right on wondering what that means for the screw though. Possibly forcing them to answer at maximum reward/penalty?

    I fear the 'ticklish testgum' and the like has been sacrificed for the console's lack of keyboard input though, which is saddening.
    ticklish testgum = gibberish question

    But you knew that already I'm sure.

    But for serious no one actually liked those things.

    Especially not the hosts in The Ride.

    from the look of it, you don't have to guess every time

    you're just no longer prevented from doing so by somebody being faster

    screw probably just forces a guess, same as always

    Watching Whacked Out Sports (narrated by Cookie) just makes me want this version of Jack more.

    Wonder if he writes his own material?

    I knew nothing about a new YDKJ until I saw this thread, I squealed when I read the OP. I still have the keyboard from 1996 with the Q, P, and B stickers in my garage somewhere....

    References to 'episodes' in the achievement list imply non randomised questions. How that works with online I wait to see.

    Also this may be the best achievement I have ever seen.
    Consolation Achievement -
    Play 5 hours without getting a single achievement

    Edit: Hang on, this a boxed release, not arcade? Aw fudgebuckets. I was giddy with joy at the thought of getting this but they'll never release it in the UK now.

    I'd completely failed to take in the range of platforms this is on. DS even?! 360 isn't region free though right? I might import the PC version or hope it comes to a DD service.

    360 is region locked. It really sucks because right now it's looking like an initial boxed release, and I don't know that it's coming to Steam.

    He didn't really insult me, even when I got stuff wrong...it's just that like, the questions were phrased weirdly. I did more poorly than I expected. Maybe that's why I'm upset.

    You just need to get used to how things are phrased in YDKJ. It has nothing to do with Cookie, he's the best announcer there is.

    part of the fun of ydkj is that nothing is off limits for mockery, even the players

    especially the players

    I just found YDKJ 1-3 + The Ride in my dad's old dusty office, and my fiancee tried to kill me with her eyes after being berated by Cookie and my dad for 3 straight games of -20k points. I didn't let her input a name at the start and she got assigned Crabby Hole hahahaha.

    Check out the images down in the description, too. I see screws... and something that involves a slab of bacon or jerky for the "Wrong Answer of the Game". I'm assuming that falls under "collectable hidden prizes," whatever that entails.

    Surprised (and a little unnerved) not to find any reviews yet. I'm sure I'm going to buy this, but I am undecided on platform. Seems like 360 is the way to go, but I'd like to confirm a couple things first:

    1) Big Button Controller support
    2) Plans for DLC question packs

    Without those, Wii might be a better option just for controller friendliness for the family. Hmm....
