Episode 100 - Dunking on the Elderly - The Jackbox Party Pack

Six players? I’ll try to podcast slowly because statistically at
least one of you is hard of hearing. Welcome to the 100th episode
of NOCLIP! We decided to pull all of our recent guests (and former
hosts) together to talk about a game we all routinely play. The
Jackbox Party Pack emulates classic board game night games with a
slant toward drawing, wordplay and social games in a way that’s
easy to set up and get into. The real triumph with this series,
though, is that most games allow the players to really take center
stage. Unlike a lot of popular board games with the premise of
creating comedy, Jackbox games set you up with a prompt, but let
your own creativity in your lies, quips, drawings and
t-shirt/slogan combinations provide the entertainment. This makes
each time you play feel memorable because of the very noticeable
part each person plays in making it funny. We’re going to talk
about the perils of being forced to draw with your finger on a
phone screen when you’re good at drawing in a more normal way,
succinct tutorials and presentation, and Cards Against Humanity and
why it sucks and is bad. …and, we’re going to talk about ourselves!
It’s been 100 episodes, and that calls for a little navel-gazing.
We spend the last 30ish minutes of this already too long episode
talking about the podcast and the impact its had on each of us,
what we’d like to do with it and our appreciation for each other,
those who listen, and the growth it has inspired in us. Thank you
all for joining us this week and for the last five years as we
played and talked about the games that interested us, hopefully you
got something out of it as well. But while this is a landmark
episode for us, we’re going to continue our normal October
exploration of horror games beginning next time with an episode on
Amnesia, the Dark Descent, so please join us then! The happenstance
of episode 100 falling in October has pushed our schedule back a
bit, but we’re going to continue talking about horror into
November, or until we feel good and properly spooked, so keep an
eye out!
