Seth Green is such a better guest than most people. Making jokes, but not being intrusive. Not being too wacky, not being a dick. People think Seth is an asshole, but he's really chill.
Jake Martin Honestly I thought he was an asshole before this. Sometimes it's hard to separate the characters people play in movies/tv and the actual person.
Seth is so chill in his episodes, and people say Clare is great too, but on tabletop she gets so hostile. I think the best thing she does is her "we're getting a divorce" song here.
While I've seen and heard him in so many roles, I will always think of him as Joker from Mass Effect. Partially because the character's voice is just his natural voice, and also because Joker ACTS like I'd imagine Seth Green would if he were a pilot in the ME universe. 😂
i'm sick of hearing people argue of who shot who first.I am not trying to criticize anyone, I've heard this argument so many time that i am now convinced that Han shot first.
Seth Gutowski Of course he did! How old are you? Haven't you seen the original, non-moronified version of Star Wars? Greedo doesn't even get a shot off. The real Han Solo wouldn't sit around waiting to get shot at. Then in 1997, Lucas changed his movie. Some of the changes were great, but he also really screwed things up. Making Greedo shoot was one of the worst.
Seth Gutowski I'm also tired of hearing the argument over who shot first. It's right up there with the only line people seem to remember Admiral Ackbar saying is "It's a trap!"
DanSolo0119 How old are you guys? There is no "argument" over who shot first. There is either the original, classic Star Wars: A New Hope film that became a major cultural phenomenon, or the stupid revisions in which Lucas added a few things that were improvements and a LOT more things that were goofy, stupid crap. Only younger people who have only ever known the new versions that kept changing and changing would view it as an "argument."
I HAVE seen the old and the new. I just want to know why people make such a big deal of it. I don't care who shot first. All that matters is Greedo is dead
When I watched this video for the first time I new I had to try it and I ultimately bought the game. Now, I am a huge fan of X-wing and have played in tournaments and everything. Thanks Wil and everyone at Geek and Sundry for the awesome production and letting people know about these great games. FYI: Clare Grant did the voice for Latts Razzi on Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Latts is now a pilot in X-wing for the Hound's Tooth.
It's not a proper statement. The statement "Han shot first" implies that there was a second shot when in reality there was not. So a proper statement would be "Han shot".
Seth Green is playing as Luke Skywalker. Seth Green voices Chris on Family Guy. Chris plays Luke on the Family Guy Star Wars parodies. Half-Life 3 confirmed.
My brand new Millennium Falcon just broke under its own weight just sitting on its stand. I was bugged about all the rule infractions too. I counted at least 4 or 5.
Thanks for the show. My family has become enthusiastic table top gamers which is really nice. Its brought us together rather than each of us living in our own video worlds. Even my wife, who has only played Monopoly and despises video games, has joined me and the kids. Thanks Will and Felicia.
21:40 Clare: (before rolling) I'm hitting your guy... Will: No! No! You'e making an attempt to hit my guy! Such a D&D line. Heard it many times with my friends haha!
I just wanted to say, i love Tabletop and Geek and Sundry. You guys are awesome and love all the work everyone does on Geek and Sundry. Keep it up. Also, loved the lounge you guys set up at SDCC.
"as a character Boba Fett doesn't really do anything....but he looks REALLY cool!" So true Wil. Right up there with "Han ALWAYS shoots first" Plus, loving Seth's impression of an imperial mum. Too funny :)
@mydadcantgame This is by far the worst video tabletop have ever done in regards to actually getting the rules right. But, it is a very fun intro into X-Wing. Although Han Solo's """""boosts"""""" makes me want to to cry.
This video introduced me to X-Wing and encouraged a HUGE passion in my life! I'm now a regular X-Wing player with a significant collection and even do some of my own videos. Thanks Wil Wheaton, I love this show!
GlassBonez i don't know if you're joking, but just in case, THAT's the joke, originally greedo didn't shoot at all. han shot first, that's just the stupid change that was made for the special edition, where they added greedo shooting slightly before him ...
25:18 Alright, that beautiful picture on the wall back there? Here goes, from left to right. Colin Fergusan (Ticket to Ride) Riki Lindhome (Last Night on Earth) Kate Micucci (Last Night on Earth) Steve Jackson (Munchkin) Alison Haislip (Fiasco) Anne Wheaton (Ticket to Ride+Europe) Will Wheaton our Lord and Savior (Most things) Grant Imahara (Small World) Felicia Day (Many Things) Bonnie Burton (Fiasco) Phil LaMarr (Wits and Wagers) Beth Riesgraf (Dixit) Bill Prady (Elder Sign) Best I can do. Pretty sure I got that right. Seriously, that picture is awesome.
Wil: Han solo ALWAYS shots FIRST Me: Why is he making it sound like its a big deal? -sees the glaring eyes of wil look into my soul -..OH because they changed it to greedo shooting first ooooooh.... I'll go to my shame corner now for forgetting that. -walks to corner - v-v
Great video. Seth Green was so funny doing the "mom" and the imitations of Luke and Ben. Good stuff!!! Also loved the "We're with Star Fleet--we don't lie!" LOL!!!
Husky you are awesome! Actually seeing your face instead of just hearing your voice was a surprise. Also, there were a few rules you guys missed out on, but I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it. It was fun to watch you guys play.
Wow, it's the first episode i've watched and i really enjoyed it! A few rules were "glanced over" or slightly altered, but all in all, i guess for fun's sake it was a pretty good game :)
Getting the "force awakens" core set for Christmas with the T-90 x wing with the blue paint work and the two first order TIE fighters. Gonna play it with my.. Oh I don't have any friends... ;-; Well at least the minis are gorgeous sculpts.
karimah green got mine, thinking of going full Imperial might, no rebel scum. Touched up one TIE fighter with the red markings from the movie (being a veteran warhammer fantasy / 40K painter i think it was a cake walk) so my Epsilon leader actually looks like the best of the best of his squadron, It's a pretty sweet deal, relatively cheap when you compare the price of each ship individually. think it comes to about upwards of $40 and i got mine for about $26. Great value, wonderful models and an all round fun game :D Enjoy
Only local games store i have is in Glasgow (a 20 minute train journey or 1 hour bus) and its a Games Workshop - If i pull any non citadel mini out, they ask you to either put it away or leave :/
i dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Toby Colt thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Has anyone else noticed that Luke, Wedge, and Biggs seem to be designed based on the last run through the death star trench? Biggs draws enemy fire and generally gets taken out first, Wedge is great offensively but draws so much attention that as soon as the enemy is clear to do so they drive him out of the fight, and Luke with R2 is your finisher who sticks around to the end as the lowest priority target with a high survival rate from this point as R2's repairs will make it hard for the remaining TIEs to take him out (after Wedge has thinned their numbers of course.
Love this videos! One thing regarding the rules, if there are critical hits, the defender dodges those last (ie if you rolled 2 dodges and the attacker rolled 2 normal hits and one critical hit, you'd dodge the 2 normal hits and take the critical hit)
hey will ever considered playing heroclix? it'd be cool to see you and your buddies take on that game. unrelated i loved your reading of ready player one!
Almost psychic Wil, "Maybe in a future movie, my Tie Fighter guy and Han Solo could be best friends", well, sub Tie Fighter guy for Storm Trooper... lol
+Y Martinez That reminds me of a meme I saw somewhere: a Star Trek redshirt and a Star Wars stormtrooper get into a firefight. The stormtrooper misses every shot. The redshirt dies anyway.
Examples of: "We don't REALLY know the rules" 7:30 - "The Falcon gets to go ahead 1" - > HUH? 7:55 - How about you stop pushing all the stuff around while moving 8:33 - You gotta modify your attack dices before the enemy gets to use the defense one 11:38 - Mauler also gets +1 from his own ability 16:30 - Thats totally not how boosting works 18:45 - You cannot dodge the crit first 18:55 - STOP THROWING THE MINIATURES O.o 20:25 - Reveals Bank 3 but executes Turn 3 24:12 - Ok,.. STOP IT.... PLEAAAAASE!!!
Just last episode, Wil called it "double dick move" when someone was "using the force" because 1, that's totes cheating, and 2, that's Star Wars thing- which was out of place in a Star Trek game. And now this episode, here he is saying that a Tie Fighter Academy Pilot is actually Wesley Crusher. What's up with that?
Ships of equal pilot skill actually use initiative to determine who moves first. Initiative is determined by squad value (the little numbers at the bottom right of the cards added together) the side with the lowest value has initiative, if equal, Empire has initiative. Also when overlapping or traveling through an obstacle (asteroids) the player rolls one die to determine if he takes damage and cannot take an action. Also the secondary weapon Husky used around 14:30 expends the target lock, so he does not get to use it again to re-roll. Just some important distinctions for new players entering the game. :)
+Poke marzel Except for those that read the books. The geeks who enjoy the books canon universe understand why so many feared the half of a broken man inside of Vader's cybernetic shell; and why Fett, being a Mandalorian who was cast out by his own people, was the badass who he was despite only having five lines of dialog in the movies. If you had the sense to read, you'd understand that these movies only touch a fraction of the of the story.
That really represents the worst of the star wars canon though. It's so fucking stupid that Boba Fett was secretly a major badass with an entire history. Boba Fett was just a thug who worked for Vader and had some cool armour. The over-complicated and indulgent backstory is just a mess.
Thanks Table Top, Because of this episode ALL the Star Wars Booster Packs are soldout in the entire lower mainland of Vancouver. I also hear that Fantasy Flight are also Back Ordered on their models until this Sept. There are no A wings, Y wings, B wings, Tie interceptor for sell anywhere, ARGH!!!
I have a friend who played competitive X-Wing for a while and was pretty good (while he never won any titles, he managed to pull off a win against either the national or world champion against a pretty cheesy list), and he says that this game is just trash at this point. It used to be that being able to fly better was how you won, but now you just set up a cheese ball list and roll over people with it. Basically, the green defense dice is a lot worse than the red attack dice, so theoretically you win if you set up more shots against your opponent by flying better. However, with the upgrades and characters they've added, it becomes so easy to modify your rolls and the best lists only need to get off a few shots to win. One of his favorite stories was how he was having a disagreement with another player (that player claimed that flying better was still what won games), so my buddy challenged him to a game. That guy played a really cheesy list, and my buddy played a pretty standard (but still solid) list based on flying well. About eight turns later, someone else rolls up and asks how long my friend is going to continue the game (at this point he has lost next to no hit points by dodging all of the other guy's firing arcs and gotten off WAY more shots than his opponent, but the cheese list had basically just ignored it all). My buddy says "until he admits I'm a better pilot but it doesn't matter." and then the guy throws his arms up and says in an exasperated tone "You ARE a better pilot and it DOESN'T matter!"
MajorLeagueGamer838 You can't take an action while touching someone, You can't shoot someone you're touching, You have to cancel all hits before you can cancel any crits, You cannot reroll dice with a target lock AFTER you spent said target lock to use torpedos, At range 1 you always attack with one extra attack die, and at range 3 you defend with one extra defense die (Hence, making Mauler Mithel's attack at range one 4, not 2) Just to name a few.
Richard Rominger Not to forget you can't shoot while on asteroid ;) So many broken rules. .. But entertaining ;) And NEVER add extra dice for Secondary weapons (not in offense and not in deffense)^^
Geez they butchered nearly all of the rules lol. It's like they didn't spend even 5 minutes to read any of them. It's cool that they gave the game attention at least.
Honestly most of the guest are attending for publicity I would think.. And yes I know Seth Green might not be one of those - but then there's prolly an other explanation :) Oh well no sense in arguing about this trivial matter, not even sure why I started to begin with, but I guess on youtube there will always be people like you complaining about something and people like me getting annoyed by it :) Live and let live
Michael Rasmussen Clare Grant is Seth Green's wife. She has an Adult Swim show. The TableTop audience is their target market. I would imagine if you have Clare Grant showing up to play, Seth Green is easy to get as well.
Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed. Also pilots cannot tie for pilot skill, and im also still wondering why she was boosting the falcon up an extra 1 forward.
I will give them the fact this game is fairly complex and and most of there other videos they get almost every rule right. I screwed up a lot of the rules at first when I started playing this game. However with as large of a channel as they are, I would think they could find some one who already knew how to play correctly.
+Derrek McNab except they are not playing the quick start rules, but actually playing the "Oh shit, I didn't read the rules" Rules. The quick start have no actions, shields, equipments or any other ships beside 2 tie fighters and one x-wing. Besides, that Millenium Falcon is "boosting" wrongly...and it DOES NOT HAVE BOOST TO BEGIN WITH!
+Rocky Arbigaus yeah I literally just started playing today and even I thought this was bad. The falcon does come with engine upgrade cards that add boost as an action but to say it comes standard with boost and does it automatically? Just terrible
WESLEY CRUSHER RULES!!!!!!!!!!!! I love how Wil used Wesley in that XD That was AWESOME!!!!!!! And you know, Wesley would do all those fancy maneuvers, except he would win, Congrats to Seth Green and Clare Grant!!!!! YAY FOR THEM!!!!!! :D
Dread White Honestly it was refreshing for him to be so modest since everyone else was busy fluffing their feathers, & blowing smoke up their own asses. I respected his choice of words personally.
A lot of people changes their mind about how shitty the sequels were after a barrage of clickbait articles on why the sequels were "actually brilliant"
Proof that Star Wars > Star Trek :P. Star Trek Catan won by a Jedi, then Wesley Crusher loses X-Wing! Also... Seriously, THAT'S Seth Greens wife? Proof that being funny is all you need!
I just went down a quarantine rabbit hole about Seth Green and apparently his cameo in Entourage where he plays "Seth Green" made a lot of people think he was a huge jerk, but it was just a role. Just an interesting tidbit lol
Wil - I can't thank you enough for such an amazing series. It is one of the best things on tv and we enjoy watching this so much. Especially after this episode, I desperately wished you'd play yet another game for us to watch. Maybe in the future you could do a less edited "2nd game" for those of us that just can't get enough of the produced episode? Even though it'd be a bit long and a little less flashy we'd get to see much more in-depth rules play out :) At any rate. Love you and your work!
Seth Green is such a better guest than most people. Making jokes, but not being intrusive. Not being too wacky, not being a dick. People think Seth is an asshole, but he's really chill.
Jake Martin Honestly I thought he was an asshole before this. Sometimes it's hard to separate the characters people play in movies/tv and the actual person.
Jake Martin I've never heard anybody thinking Seth Green is an ass.
Jake Martin Hes wife is pretty awesome too.
***** Clare Grant. They mention it several times in the episode man.
Seth is so chill in his episodes, and people say Clare is great too, but on tabletop she gets so hostile. I think the best thing she does is her "we're getting a divorce" song here.
I love how Seth Green introduces himself as an entertainer. He's had soooo many media jobs I don't think he even really knows what he does anymore
He even hesitates, as if he doesn't even know anymore
He does "Seth Green", his job title is just "be Seth Green" at this point XD
His business card just says
Seth Green
Y'know...Seth Green
While I've seen and heard him in so many roles, I will always think of him as Joker from Mass Effect. Partially because the character's voice is just his natural voice, and also because Joker ACTS like I'd imagine Seth Green would if he were a pilot in the ME universe. 😂
He left out pedophile though.
"HAN SOLO ALWAYS SHOOTS FIRST!" Damn straight, Wil!
i'm sick of hearing people argue of who shot who first.I am not trying to criticize anyone, I've heard this argument so many time that i am now convinced that Han shot first.
Seth Gutowski Of course he did! How old are you? Haven't you seen the original, non-moronified version of Star Wars? Greedo doesn't even get a shot off. The real Han Solo wouldn't sit around waiting to get shot at. Then in 1997, Lucas changed his movie. Some of the changes were great, but he also really screwed things up. Making Greedo shoot was one of the worst.

I'm also tired of hearing the argument over who shot first. It's right up there with the only line people seem to remember Admiral Ackbar saying is "It's a trap!"
DanSolo0119
How old are you guys? There is no "argument" over who shot first. There is either the original, classic Star Wars: A New Hope film that became a major cultural phenomenon, or the stupid revisions in which Lucas added a few things that were improvements and a LOT more things that were goofy, stupid crap. Only younger people who have only ever known the new versions that kept changing and changing would view it as an "argument."
I HAVE seen the old and the new. I just want to know why people make such a big deal of it.

Years later I'm coming back to watch again... the video that started it all for me! Thank you Wil! Thank you for this!
Making a comment on a 6 yr old video to a person who helped me understand the rules better 😁
"HAN SOLO ALWAYS SHOOTS FIRST."
Glad you made that clear!
Greedo shot first!!!
No longer in 2.0 @haiggoh
It's not a proper statement. The statement "Han shot first" implies that there was a second shot when in reality there was not. So a proper statement would be "Han shot".
Seth Green is playing as Luke Skywalker. Seth Green voices Chris on Family Guy. Chris plays Luke on the Family Guy Star Wars parodies.
Half-Life 3 confirmed.
Yayyy I scrolled down far enough to find the best comment!
And george tells seth to get out because of those parodies
@@LK-1D3 EVERYTHING!!!
I can't be the only one who winced when she just threw the miniature at 18:58.
Right? Other people are complaining about butchered rules, but that's the part that made me freak out.
Those TIE regular pieces are probably the most robust of them all to be fair.
+InfernalWarZoneHD Their wings actually come off fairly easily.
+InfernalWarZoneHD I still wrap all mine in kitchen cloth whenever I need to transport them, just for paranoia's sake.
My brand new Millennium Falcon just broke under its own weight just sitting on its stand. I was bugged about all the rule infractions too. I counted at least 4 or 5.
Thanks for the show. My family has become enthusiastic table top gamers which is really nice. Its brought us together rather than each of us living in our own video worlds. Even my wife, who has only played Monopoly and despises video games, has joined me and the kids. Thanks Will and Felicia.
21:40 Clare: (before rolling) I'm hitting your guy...
Will: No! No! You'e making an attempt to hit my guy!
Such a D&D line. Heard it many times with my friends haha!
I just have to thank Wil Wheaton and all those involved in putting these gems together. There is always laughter and THE BEST Guests ever. Thank you!
Dangerous things overheard inside a Star Destroyer. Darth Vader jumps in a standard Tie Fighter and says, "Watch this shit."
LOL "HAN SOLO ALWAYS SHOOTS FIRST!" Well played! xD
The editing for these videos really is insanely good...
I just wanted to say, i love Tabletop and Geek and Sundry. You guys are awesome and love all the work everyone does on Geek and Sundry. Keep it up. Also, loved the lounge you guys set up at SDCC.
That 'Shoot First' Joke is easily the funniest thing I've heard Wil say. And it's Star Wars.
But it's not a joke. it's a cry of nerd rage against revisionist Lucas-isms.
"as a character Boba Fett doesn't really do anything....but he looks REALLY cool!" So true Wil. Right up there with "Han ALWAYS shoots first"
Plus, loving Seth's impression of an imperial mum. Too funny :)
Here I am, 9 years later... looking back on this amazing video that started my entire obsession!
Was re-watching last night when my son said, "wait, did he just shoot while on an asteroid?" 🤣🤣 No one's perfect, buddy!
@mydadcantgame This is by far the worst video tabletop have ever done in regards to actually getting the rules right.
But, it is a very fun intro into X-Wing.
Although Han Solo's """""boosts"""""" makes me want to to cry.
This video introduced me to X-Wing and encouraged a HUGE passion in my life! I'm now a regular X-Wing player with a significant collection and even do some of my own videos. Thanks Wil Wheaton, I love this show!
"Han Solo always shoots first" 'nuff said !
Exactly. Well, except for when he was in the cantina, then he shoot at the same time as the-alien-dude-whose-name-I-forgot :P
GlassBonez
i don't know if you're joking, but just in case, THAT's the joke, originally greedo didn't shoot at all. han shot first, that's just the stupid change that was made for the special edition, where they added greedo shooting slightly before him ...
amaurythewarrior It was a joke and thanks for helping me remember Greedo's name
Han Solo always shoots first...lol. That made my night.
But only Boba Fett shoots first, and last. He doesn't use the force, he just uses force! pew pew pew! :)
I love how excited she was about the game :)

When I should be doing homework, I always end up watching these for hours. Addictive videos Wil.
I love how "Rookie" was replaced with "Wesley" after the revelation. Funny editing.

That was really entertaining and fun! I was just looking up X-Wing strategies on youtube lol!
Wil: Han solo ALWAYS shots FIRST
Me: Why is he making it sound like its a big deal? -sees the glaring eyes of wil look into my soul -..OH because they changed it to greedo shooting first ooooooh.... I'll go to my shame corner now for forgetting that. -walks to corner - v-v
HarbingerofFire you'd better be ashamed! lol
Great video. Seth Green was so funny doing the "mom" and the imitations of Luke and Ben. Good stuff!!! Also loved the "We're with Star Fleet--we don't lie!" LOL!!!

Also, there were a few rules you guys missed out on, but I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it. It was fun to watch you guys play.
Wow, it's the first episode i've watched and i really enjoyed it!
A few rules were "glanced over" or slightly altered, but all in all, i guess for fun's sake it was a pretty good game :)
"Han Solo ALWAYS shoots first!" Haha I love XD
my favorite line! "Well I turned off the targeting computer like old crazy ben said!"
Three actors and a Screamlord all playing together. It's a wonderful thing.
Thank you for being the best show on the internet.
Heart stops when Clare grabs the tie fighter and throws it...
Getting the "force awakens" core set for Christmas with the T-90 x wing with the blue paint work and the two first order TIE fighters. Gonna play it with my.. Oh I don't have any friends... ;-;
Well at least the minis are gorgeous sculpts.
The T-90 is in most ways better than the original X wing, and the new TIE's are better than the old ones too.
+TenesAsylum my bro got one for x-mas, it is sooo cool. cant wait to play.
karimah green got mine, thinking of going full Imperial might, no rebel scum.
Touched up one TIE fighter with the red markings from the movie (being a veteran warhammer fantasy / 40K painter i think it was a cake walk) so my Epsilon leader actually looks like the best of the best of his squadron, It's a pretty sweet deal, relatively cheap when you compare the price of each ship individually. think it comes to about upwards of $40 and i got mine for about $26. Great value, wonderful models and an all round fun game :D Enjoy
+TenesAsylum find a local games store You can play there.

This was a blast, subbed

"They captured a few pods and we blew up a few planets." haha GG!
This is the only reason I stay subbed to this channel now that the guild is gone.
Really fun game!
"Han Solo always shoots first!"
Every time I hear Seth Green talking strategy in game he had super solid reasoning. I think I might pick Seth Green for my celebrity poker team.
Has anyone else noticed that Luke, Wedge, and Biggs seem to be designed based on the last run through the death star trench? Biggs draws enemy fire and generally gets taken out first, Wedge is great offensively but draws so much attention that as soon as the enemy is clear to do so they drive him out of the fight, and Luke with R2 is your finisher who sticks around to the end as the lowest priority target with a high survival rate from this point as R2's repairs will make it hard for the remaining TIEs to take him out (after Wedge has thinned their numbers of course.
How is that scenario pure coincidence....
did you notice nearly every final fantasy game in the 90's plus chrono trigger had characters named biggs and wedge?
Once again, Wil stanches defeat from the jaws of victory... I'm reminded of his dice rolling skills in Elder Signs.
Nothing made the "Han Solo always shoots first!" better than when Wil's eye just slightly twitched :P
What Seth?! No Joker jokes? :O
I guess it's also that thing where he's not actually allowed to use The Joker voice in any other media.. Hate those.
I'm surprised he never shouted at EDI
im pretty sure the "joker" voice is his real voice.
"Put Captain Cargo in the Solo hold!"
22:45 Wesley takes off his TIE fighter helmet? D: TIE fighters don't have life support!
Love this videos! One thing regarding the rules, if there are critical hits, the defender dodges those last (ie if you rolled 2 dodges and the attacker rolled 2 normal hits and one critical hit, you'd dodge the 2 normal hits and take the critical hit)
I love Clares rune tattoo :D writing "hero" in runes is quite cool given her interests.
I cant see Seth as Luke Skywalker... for some reason I always see him with baseball hat, limping toward the pilot seat...
hey will ever considered playing heroclix? it'd be cool to see you and your buddies take on that game.
unrelated i loved your reading of ready player one!
Yeah, that would be awesome
Almost psychic Wil, "Maybe in a future movie, my Tie Fighter guy and Han Solo could be best friends", well, sub Tie Fighter guy for Storm Trooper... lol
+Wizborg He did fly in a Tie Fighter in the very beginning...
+Derrik Thongbottom which is weird because tie fighters have pilots. storm troopers don't have pilot skills...
Garrett Stewart they don't have shooting skills either..
+Garrett Stewart (GretSeat) The stormtrooper wasn't the pilot. That was flying ace Poe Damaran. Best pilot since Skywalker.
+Y Martinez That reminds me of a meme I saw somewhere: a Star Trek redshirt and a Star Wars stormtrooper get into a firefight. The stormtrooper misses every shot. The redshirt dies anyway.
Had a great time watching this! Thanks, you guys (and gal)! :)
I feel more nerdy having watched this.....Thank you UA-cam =)
Examples of: "We don't REALLY know the rules"
7:30 - "The Falcon gets to go ahead 1" - > HUH?
7:55 - How about you stop pushing all the stuff around while moving
8:33 - You gotta modify your attack dices before the enemy gets to use the defense one
11:38 - Mauler also gets +1 from his own ability
16:30 - Thats totally not how boosting works
18:45 - You cannot dodge the crit first
18:55 - STOP THROWING THE MINIATURES O.o
20:25 - Reveals Bank 3 but executes Turn 3
24:12 - Ok,.. STOP IT.... PLEAAAAASE!!!
Sheyvan You can't fire while you're on an asteroid!
>:0
11:00 - Luke's ability should have changed a focus to an evade and allowed him to completely dodge the attack.

Well what do we have here? A familiar face on the internet :) - GBHL Jamie
STALKER ALERT!
Lol. All 3 of us from GBHL!
I knew he was going to say that once he started to describe the "move/shoot first" bit, but I still laughed.
Godzilla & Star Wars where my two important parts of my childhood! :D
We are just getting into this game around here, thanks for loading this! It's a really fun game
Just last episode, Wil called it "double dick move" when someone was "using the force" because 1, that's totes cheating, and 2, that's Star Wars thing- which was out of place in a Star Trek game. And now this episode, here he is saying that a Tie Fighter Academy Pilot is actually Wesley Crusher. What's up with that?
he probably is talking about the star trek miniatures game, its the same game.
"are you strategizing or making out?"
"Both"
19:11 "This is the like twelfth movie where he dies."
Pretty close, actually.
Ships of equal pilot skill actually use initiative to determine who moves first. Initiative is determined by squad value (the little numbers at the bottom right of the cards added together) the side with the lowest value has initiative, if equal, Empire has initiative.
Also when overlapping or traveling through an obstacle (asteroids) the player rolls one die to determine if he takes damage and cannot take an action.
Also the secondary weapon Husky used around 14:30 expends the target lock, so he does not get to use it again to re-roll.
Just some important distinctions for new players entering the game. :)
It's pretty impressive you guys were able to make a game like this work for this show, good on ya!
Did anyone notice how much of the rules they just completely butchered?
Timothy Haddox Damn it yes >.
+Timothy Haddox I made a list.
+Naresh Singh how horrendously long is this list? I'm not really versed in the finer points of x wing, so I'm honestly curious
Check the recent comments,I placed it there.
yeaaa like all of them
Boba Fett has a good name. He earned it in the Expanded Universe. (Technically Legacy now, but we all know it is the true Expanced Universe.)
+Poke marzel Except for those that read the books. The geeks who enjoy the books canon universe understand why so many feared the half of a broken man inside of Vader's cybernetic shell; and why Fett, being a Mandalorian who was cast out by his own people, was the badass who he was despite only having five lines of dialog in the movies. If you had the sense to read, you'd understand that these movies only touch a fraction of the of the story.
That really represents the worst of the star wars canon though. It's so fucking stupid that Boba Fett was secretly a major badass with an entire history. Boba Fett was just a thug who worked for Vader and had some cool armour. The over-complicated and indulgent backstory is just a mess.
Han doesn't get to focus at 8:00 for overlapping a ship.
Seth Green's Obi Wan at 13:25 was my favourite part of this. Who knew he could do that!
Thanks Table Top, Because of this episode ALL the Star Wars Booster Packs are soldout in the entire lower mainland of Vancouver. I also hear that Fantasy Flight are also Back Ordered on their models until this Sept. There are no A wings, Y wings, B wings, Tie interceptor for sell anywhere, ARGH!!!
"Han Solo always shoots first."
Gotta love Husky.
I have a friend who played competitive X-Wing for a while and was pretty good (while he never won any titles, he managed to pull off a win against either the national or world champion against a pretty cheesy list), and he says that this game is just trash at this point. It used to be that being able to fly better was how you won, but now you just set up a cheese ball list and roll over people with it. Basically, the green defense dice is a lot worse than the red attack dice, so theoretically you win if you set up more shots against your opponent by flying better. However, with the upgrades and characters they've added, it becomes so easy to modify your rolls and the best lists only need to get off a few shots to win.
One of his favorite stories was how he was having a disagreement with another player (that player claimed that flying better was still what won games), so my buddy challenged him to a game. That guy played a really cheesy list, and my buddy played a pretty standard (but still solid) list based on flying well. About eight turns later, someone else rolls up and asks how long my friend is going to continue the game (at this point he has lost next to no hit points by dodging all of the other guy's firing arcs and gotten off WAY more shots than his opponent, but the cheese list had basically just ignored it all). My buddy says "until he admits I'm a better pilot but it doesn't matter." and then the guy throws his arms up and says in an exasperated tone "You ARE a better pilot and it DOESN'T matter!"
You guys were cracking me up! Wish I had enough of my geeky friends living close enough to play this with me.
TIE Fighter miniature thrown up and smashed down... this was really painful! (Love this game, love these miniatures!)
aughh every time they broke a rule i cringed. but it was still entertaining,
Oh god, I know.
Examples of broken rules?
MajorLeagueGamer838
You can't take an action while touching someone,
You can't shoot someone you're touching,
You have to cancel all hits before you can cancel any crits,
You cannot reroll dice with a target lock AFTER you spent said target lock to use torpedos,
At range 1 you always attack with one extra attack die, and at range 3 you defend with one extra defense die (Hence, making Mauler Mithel's attack at range one 4, not 2)
Just to name a few.
Richard Rominger
Not to forget you can't shoot while on asteroid ;)
So many broken rules. ..
But entertaining ;)
And NEVER add extra dice for Secondary weapons (not in offense and not in deffense)^^
Richard Rominger
I think the weirdest thing they did was the way han solo boosted :D
still great that x-wing gets exposure
Damn it Husky where was that micro
Geez they butchered nearly all of the rules lol. It's like they didn't spend even 5 minutes to read any of them.
It's cool that they gave the game attention at least.
Yeah, I watched this before playing it myself and I cringe a little watching it played now. But it *IS* a casual game.
I will die if i could play a game with seth green, such a great video!
Seth Green AND Husky. What a treat this week. :D
They couldn't afford a space play mat ? geez.
Seeing as this is a show on a tight budget, I really forgive them :) Honestly, as long as you have the miniatures who cares ? ^^
a tight budget? if you can have those stars you can afford a 15$ mat.
Honestly most of the guest are attending for publicity I would think.. And yes I know Seth Green might not be one of those - but then there's prolly an other explanation :) Oh well no sense in arguing about this trivial matter, not even sure why I started to begin with, but I guess on youtube there will always be people like you complaining about something and people like me getting annoyed by it :) Live and let live
Probably harder to film / reflections with a black glossy star map.
Michael Rasmussen Clare Grant is Seth Green's wife. She has an Adult Swim show. The TableTop audience is their target market. I would imagine if you have Clare Grant showing up to play, Seth Green is easy to get as well.
The attacker applies any modifiers BEFORE the defender rolls any dice! Critical mistakes all over. ;)
Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed. Also pilots cannot tie for pilot skill, and im also still wondering why she was boosting the falcon up an extra 1 forward.
Don't they read up on the rules for these vids? I kinda get anxious when watching people ignore the ruleset for a game.. Can't stand it! ;)
I will give them the fact this game is fairly complex and and most of there other videos they get almost every rule right. I screwed up a lot of the rules at first when I started playing this game. However with as large of a channel as they are, I would think they could find some one who already knew how to play correctly.
True.
Cameron Cooper There not that complex
Did they just ignore what critical hits do?
+Matthew O'Connor In the "quick start" rules you ignore crits. I assume they did as well to avoid audience confusion.
Derrek McNab That makes sense.
+Derrek McNab except they are not playing the quick start rules, but actually playing the "Oh shit, I didn't read the rules" Rules.
The quick start have no actions, shields, equipments or any other ships beside 2 tie fighters and one x-wing. Besides, that Millenium Falcon is "boosting" wrongly...and it DOES NOT HAVE BOOST TO BEGIN WITH!
+Rocky Arbigaus yeah I literally just started playing today and even I thought this was bad. The falcon does come with engine upgrade cards that add boost as an action but to say it comes standard with boost and does it automatically? Just terrible
They didn't ignore them. The only time anyone got shot by a critical hit, they either dodged, died from it, or absorbed it with deflector shields.
Can't wait for the extended edition of this episode!
WESLEY CRUSHER RULES!!!!!!!!!!!! I love how Wil used Wesley in that XD That was AWESOME!!!!!!! And you know, Wesley would do all those fancy maneuvers, except he would win, Congrats to Seth Green and Clare Grant!!!!! YAY FOR THEM!!!!!! :D
Lol really Seth "I'm an.......entertainer..?" Lolol. Not actor, producer, or anything else. K :-)
Dread White Honestly it was refreshing for him to be so modest since everyone else was busy fluffing their feathers, & blowing smoke up their own asses. I respected his choice of words personally.
Grand Moff I felt like he did that cause he is Seth Green, big enough feather would just be to tiring to fluff.
nubzar1 Well everyone knows he's allready starred in every movie and tv show atleast once ;) So it's cool.
He looked like he was tired or sick maybe. Still seems like a cool guy.
Grand Moff He was going for being funny. Everyone already knows who he is watching this show.
Han Solo... ALWAYS... SHOOTS... FIRST!!
I wish to someday have a relationship like Seth and Clare's
Wil and Table Top should do an episode with the guess from Acquisitions incorporated. But I love this show, there need to be more!
I love you guys and all you do. Keep it up Wil and Felicia!
"ARE U STRATIGISING OR MAKING OUT" will weaton 2013
Clearly not reading the rules properly so yea probably
Unpopular opinion: I don't hate the prequels.
It's not unpopular anymore, it's just an indicator that people are seductive to hype culture and click bait "journalism"
Wait... me not hating it indicates people are seduced by hype culture and click bait journalism, or people having hated it is?
A lot of people changes their mind about how shitty the sequels were after a barrage of clickbait articles on why the sequels were "actually brilliant"
Ah, so you're assuming I previously didn't like it, read an article, and now do like it?
Well you seem to assume that so whatever I had got to say wouldn't matter to you, wouldn't it?
Proof that Star Wars > Star Trek :P. Star Trek Catan won by a Jedi, then Wesley Crusher loses X-Wing!
Also... Seriously, THAT'S Seth Greens wife? Proof that being funny is all you need!
As one straight man to another, I'd classify Seth Green as a sexy man regardless of his hilarity.
+ being famous and freakin' rich helps a lot too.
He's funny, clever, and cute. I had a crush on him when I watched Buffy!
Carolyn Choate You look like a hippo though so your opinion doesnt count hahaha
softan Shhh fatty loads of people like me
This is great! and so many years later and Boba Fett has finally done some cool stuff on screen.
I just went down a quarantine rabbit hole about Seth Green and apparently his cameo in Entourage where he plays "Seth Green" made a lot of people think he was a huge jerk, but it was just a role. Just an interesting tidbit lol
Moral of the story? Han Solo SHOT FIRST!!! Hell YEAH!
She just moved the Falcon without measuring. Bad form.
so many mistakes in play. but the worst is weaton being a goober and calling the maneuver dial a navigation computer.
Husky as a guest, way to go man, he is so hilarious, love this caster, thanks Will !
Wil - I can't thank you enough for such an amazing series. It is one of the best things on tv and we enjoy watching this so much. Especially after this episode, I desperately wished you'd play yet another game for us to watch. Maybe in the future you could do a less edited "2nd game" for those of us that just can't get enough of the produced episode? Even though it'd be a bit long and a little less flashy we'd get to see much more in-depth rules play out :)
At any rate. Love you and your work!
