Aldie's Full of Love!

So here's a new endeavor that we're working on - a video show called "All Things Geek." This inaugural episode is related to board games, and features Jess Damerst - who will be coming with us to Spiel 2011 and working in the booth interviewing. A lot of effort went into this video, and we hope you like it!

Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.

Very professional intro and theme song. Didn't make it further as I'm not fully awake after only three hours of sleep.

Stream of consciousness reactions as they happen.

0:21 That's not Aldie's place, nor Jeff's!

0:34 I have no idea if she pronouced that right. But my accent fetish just poked me and said I LIKE

1:35 She places her 7 Wonders cards like I do. ....random.

1:42 Oh look a Disembodied hand. Don't see that everyday

2:15 The hand got thinner and has bling.. perhaps it's a crossdressing hand?

2:28 Wait I can see her ear now, ~rewinds~ Yup that is a new ear. Where's the continuity! goo

2:45 Egregious Puerto Rico reference. Then the realization that Special VPs are often purple! Or Poypul if you're from Jersey.....

3:17 The most points wins......Damn I have been getting that wrong!

4:09 She blinked. I realize I have been waiting for it!

5:41 OMG Head movement and a new camera angle. Tangential thought = Who's games are all those?

6:04 QWIRKLE! (I have never played this game so one must ask, are the hand gestures accompanying the screaming of QWIRKLE within the rules?) Disturbing either way.

6:22 see 3:17

6:59 Disembodied hand seems to have dropped the bling and has a caffeine related problem.

7:43 Eyebrow pop + a blink (Why am I looking at that stuff!)

8:07 Weather has changed outside or perhaps it is late afternoon. I also realize my internal monologue is annoying me with its blandishments.

8:11 A Guitar! Does she play? Perhaps we'll find out as she closes with a musical interlude?

8:20 Disembodied hand is rather androgynous this time. Make up your mind Hand!!

9:46 Oooh I hadn't seen that leader

10:00 Enjoys the look of distaste cast towards her opponents

10:10 Don't you waggle you finger at me young lady!

10:26 Dark outside now. How many takes Jess?

10:44 Sunlight again! Next morning or an earlier take?

11:09 Notices a Lincoln Damerst which will disappoint many geeks watching this

Jess, Good job , and Scott Good idea!!

No bongs. Looks more like glass vessels to me.
But are there hash plants in the background?

Not pronounced correctly, but it sounds sexy.

Here's a vid with the correct pronunciation (right from the start):

You'll be happy to know that Jess is my cousin, and she isn't married. My wife is the lovely Nikki Pontius also listed in the credits. Thanks so much for the feedback. We are anxious to do more.

Congratulations to the first video in this series. I found this episode *very* well done: locations, camera, lighting, the cuts, your approach to explaining the different games and not to forget the beautiful host. Thank you for entertaining us.

At 5:45, "OOPS! That's legal" should be "OOPS! That's legal". I was sure you had screwed up, so I backed and then saw the caption.

But actually, when you make that big a mistake about rules, you should fix it. Take down the defective video and put up a correct one. In this case you could just edit out about six seconds.
