    I think there's a point of reductiveness in a casual conversation where I'm comfortable just saying it's wrong. Unless you're specifically discussing game theory or construction, all those other mechanics are a significant part of the discussion.

    It's like saying that if someone said in casual conversation that humans and pigs are basically the same thing. Sure if you reduce it to the level of class we're both mammals but in 95% of discussions, stuff beyond that level matters.

    I don't disagree, but also if I am being honest if I had to explain Windjammers to someone I can easily see myself saying "Okay, imagine you are playing pong. But instead of being a paddle you are a crazy sports player who can slide around and throw a frisbee that bounces off of walls and also IS ON FIRE" and I feel like I've described Windjammers pretty well.

    I have definitely described Windjammers as “frisbee Pong” to people that don’t know it

    i find the size discrepancy between my own human body and the chess-game's king to be both comforting and correct

    Well, I was interested in this Pokemon trainer character on this week's CBB, but the bit turned out to be "just naming Pokemon characters" so I bailed

    He did it with World of Warcraft on last week's off-book, too. Worked a little better there, but it was more contained

    Ugh it felt so good beating up people in an arcade in Virtual On this summer.

    It's just so fun to play. My little cypher dashing everywhere, raining death.

    It's actually the second or third crossovers between those two franchises, there was a light novel or two.

    The first time the trainer showed up on CBB had a bit that killed me and I still think about
    zach: I'm from the Kanto Region
    scott or PFT or someone:The Kanto Region of what?
    zach: Hmm!?

    really any time someone asks an improviser an obvious follow up question that the improviser didn't think of and they have to act like they didn't hear the question to buy time is just something that always gets me
