@Adal, @Erin, and @JPC - I know it's possible that this episode has already been recorded, but if it hasn't and any of you hasn't chosen a topic, I'm a professor of linguistics and I use your riddles in my courses, and I would be happy to meet anytime to teach you about some of the science behind the language of riddles!

2024-12-31 16:06:45 +0000 UTCOn the one hand I get that, on the other hand, Golden Idol has no possibility of inducing motion sickness (unlike Obra Dinn and Superliminal) and does not require precise movement or timing in any way whatsoever (unlike Untitled Goose Game.) And considering the game starts with a murder, I really wouldn't say Golden Idol has a slow start. It's the perfect Review Crew game.

2024-12-31 04:32:50 +0000 UTCI like Golden Idol but can't quite bring myself to vote for it because if you look at past video game episodes it's clear the willingness to stick with slow starts or frustrating puzzles is just not there and I'm just not that interested in listening to yet another "one of them quit halfway through the tutorial and another played a few levels then watched a stream" review crew ep...

2024-12-31 03:12:06 +0000 UTCBy coincidence, I recently shared in the Adal discord channel a thing about grapes powering quantum fields

2024-12-31 02:47:11 +0000 UTCI’m so pleased for science!

2024-12-31 01:47:32 +0000 UTCBee Movie but it’s the one on YouTube where it speeds up every time someone says bee.
Kelly Sczomak
2024-12-31 00:54:28 +0000 UTCGolden idol can take a long time to finish if you have any trouble. I feel like its more a game you play in a few sessions
Max
2024-12-31 00:12:23 +0000 UTCListening to them review bad movies is usually my favorite but Bee Movie is more than I can handle.
Laurel
2024-12-31 00:10:44 +0000 UTCCan we please keep the bee movie for next month cause I need to hear y'all review it
Ayn Like Ryan
2024-12-30 23:55:11 +0000 UTCI just had some of my research get published this month in a scientific journal. I don't think my work would actually be that interesting for a podcast, but I bet plenty of listeners have written articles that you guys could read and try to explain for the episode.
Kayla Kindig
2024-12-30 23:30:09 +0000 UTCCase of the Golden Idol is a great game and should be played regardless imo
MaxMin
2024-12-30 23:26:44 +0000 UTCOoooo, I like these options (except Bee Movie, but 3 out of 4 isn't bad)!
Pumpkin Soup
2024-12-30 22:52:34 +0000 UTCBoth Golden Idol games are SO GOOD
Tessa H.
2024-12-30 22:47:00 +0000 UTCSensing that maybe the science topic option exists to menace the listeners who do know science.
nini
2024-12-30 22:33:44 +0000 UTCIt's somehow always the one I want the least that wins. Every time.

2024-12-30 22:28:29 +0000 UTCThis could've been the thing that made me watch Bee Movie but I guess I'm going to have to carry on waiting for the right time...

Grace Pritchett
2024-12-30 22:11:51 +0000 UTCMy wife and I just beat Golden Idol yesterday! It is such a wonderful mystery game. That said, I voted for science topics, because that sounds fun as hell
Tyler Stercula
2024-12-30 22:06:18 +0000 UTCI voted for Investigate, but was still pretty shocked to see that Bee Movie wasn't in the lead. Good work everyone!
Matt S.
2024-12-30 22:03:09 +0000 UTCIf there’s one thing the podcast space doesn’t have enough of it’s people talking about scientific things they don’t know much about
Brandon Nunnery
2024-12-30 21:58:23 +0000 UTCYeah I'm worried they'll pick a topic I'm knowledgeable on
Hunter E
2024-12-30 21:53:56 +0000 UTCThey can do their science topic this month and a corrections episode next month. 👩🏼🔬
Ron
2024-12-30 21:53:31 +0000 UTCKind of heartening that at least so far the "make them do the worst/meme-iest one" push seems not to have shown up this time...
Hunter E
2024-12-30 21:53:00 +0000 UTCThese are all so good.
Caroline Gruber
2024-12-30 21:44:24 +0000 UTCBee Movie outperforming Golden Idol is devastating to me.
Charlie
2024-12-30 21:42:27 +0000 UTCplease god anything but Bee Movie
Andrew Boehme
2024-12-30 21:40:07 +0000 UTCMuseum and golden idol both sound great to me. I worry with the science thing that someone will very confidently say something very wrong and not be corrected, and if I happen to know it's wrong, it will drive me insane.
Faith Quist
2024-12-30 21:34:32 +0000 UTCSame tbh. My buddy and I are playing it together and it’s even harder making time in both of our schedules lol

2024-12-30 21:32:47 +0000 UTCGolden idol is one of my favourite games of all time but the video game review crews have set a low bar haha
Jesse Abramson
2024-12-30 21:30:21 +0000 UTCErin PLEASE explain quantum computing
Todd Wells
2024-12-30 21:30:03 +0000 UTCIf you're in line to vote for bee movie STAY IN LINE
Benny
2024-12-30 21:28:12 +0000 UTCSomeone explain rabies. And black holes. And how gravity works and why the sun isn't going to fall into earth, because my kid is really really worried about that and no amount of comfort on my part has been helping!
Kathleen Sawisky
2024-12-30 21:25:54 +0000 UTCI'll have to check out the game I've never heard of it. Someone's definitely already recommended this, but another game that you all would enjoy and would be easy for Erin's motion sickness is disco elysium. It's a murder mystery kinda RPG.
Dehlan Sage
2024-12-30 21:25:12 +0000 UTCTeam museum. It's been too long since we had a review where they actually had to go out to a place and do things.
Michad
2024-12-30 21:24:59 +0000 UTCWho is going to be the one to try and describe quantum entanglement and make it exclusively sexual innuendo
Matthew Steinmetz
2024-12-30 21:24:40 +0000 UTCAs one of the listeners with a "science-y" job, I'm very hopeful that the science topic will win.
Ron
2024-12-30 21:24:32 +0000 UTCthese are all so good 😭
finch
2024-12-30 21:23:59 +0000 UTCMonth three of requesting “listen to all four of the uncle mumbles episodes”. One of these days…it’s gonna work…
Noah June
2024-12-30 21:23:32 +0000 UTCFOR SCIENCE!
Bryan Turley
2024-12-30 21:23:18 +0000 UTCHardest poll yet!
Benjamin Regan
2024-12-30 21:22:56 +0000 UTCFun game; I'm only three or four in because I keep running out of time to play games and i I don't finish a puzzle in a sitting I will completely forget all context.
Adam Kronfeld
2024-12-30 21:22:49 +0000 UTCTeam Golden Idol, it's fantastic!
Tyler Poublon
2024-12-30 21:22:45 +0000 UTCAll of these look great :) for February I think y'all should play Dream Daddy, the game where you're a single dad and get to date other dads
Ellyse
2024-12-30 21:22:33 +0000 UTCI NEED to hear their thoughts on Bee movie. As a joke it's been done to death, but I still want it.
George Osborn
2024-12-30 21:22:32 +0000 UTCIf yall need a scientific topic, I’m defending my doctorate in January

2024-12-30 21:22:26 +0000 UTCOh no this one’s hard

2024-12-30 21:22:20 +0000 UTCIf Golden Idol doesn't win I hope it makes a come back
