    Wikipedia now has a citation for the origin of "Johnstone's robin," referencing *The Eponym Dictionary of Birds* published in 2020. It's named after Mrs. Marion A. Johnstone, who bred birds. The cite appears on page 289.

    The moment only Matt said it was a plant, I knew it was him. The way "Agarentia Occidentalis" is written, it could only be a taxonomic name. Chris was almost plausible, but slipped up in stating it was the name of the infection rather than the organism that caused it.

      Yes, we can talk about it. It isn't seamless at all. It's two separate images with an obvious seam down the middle. The only edited part of it is the screen being poorly cut out from Chris' image and overlapping Matt's image. With the two logos overlapping the image, plus it being small scale, makes it appear seamless, but it isn't at all.

      I have to agree. _Citation Needed_ was great because it delved really deep into the article and had ample space for the players to make jokes. _Two of These People are Lying_ is entertaining, but I just can't see it getting the hilarious lines we got from the previous game. I feel like it lacks the space to do so, since each player is on wildly different topics and can't really play off each other.
      Although, perhaps I'm just being hasty. There were points where they did play off each other, so maybe they will find a way to let that bloom.

    Can I just say that I am slightly disappointed that this time, there were ‘only’ two rounds? I am liking this new series enough that I hope you expand it to three or four per show.

      The verb “to orient(ate)” comes from the fact that east used to be up on old maps, and Occidental is a Western European language.

    I have to say this is a _really_ good format. Moderately simple to set up, provides plenty of opportunity for banter (which, I'd assume, is what most people come here for), and, to put it bluntly, it's always fun to watch someone squrim trying to make shit up.

  • @Curious0ne
    @Curious0ne 5 років тому

    Man, I thought citation needed was the best game ever, but this is a serious competitor. As other commenters have pointed out, you all work perfectly in your roles to make the video compelling and the game competitive. I can't think of many people who could pull this off. Fantastic work as usually gentlemen.

    @Archiver2013 5 років тому +5

    I had been wondering about the whole handwriting issue and whether th rest of the Tech Dif Crew at least knew the titles ahead of time, so that the laughter wouldn't be immediately obvious. I would like to see the others take a turn guessing as well. (Matt already got a chance to host in the audio episodes if memory serves me correctly)

    • @michael_betts
      @michael_betts 5 років тому +2

      yep, the Toms not in charge anymore special is hilarious, because tom is shocked at basic elements of the game, like getting points instead of giving them.

    Fun fact: Taiwan was a Dutch 'colony' for a while, and the English were really good at pretending the Dutch named things when they didn't (this is where New Zealand comes from), and Johnston is a regular anglicisation of Dutch Jans-related names.

  • @HeyItsKora
    @HeyItsKora 5 років тому +3

    Would love to see the roles change up instead of Tom always doing the guessing. I know historically Tom has always been the presenter, whilst the other three have been playing, but being as this game doesn’t really require a presenter, I;d love to see the others get involved too.
    I love this new show idea though, really happy to see Techdif making more bedtime material for me! Although I’d love to see the format a little more adapted to accommodate more random discussion during the rounds. It follows a very systemic pattern at the moment, where A talks, B talks, C talks, a short discussion/Tom commenting on each persons article, A talks a bit more, B talks a bit more, C talks a bit more, Tom takes his guess, end of round. There’s not a huge amount of random chat in between, personally my favourite thing about these TechDiff things is the random chat, much more so than whatever the given game is, whether it’s reverse trivia, citation needed, or whatever else. I come to hear you 4 chaps have a laugh, rather than for the game itself. If this game could accommodate more discussion I’d be super happy!
    Apologies if I’m being so critical, i don’t mean to come off in a pejorative way, i;m just aware that you guys are trying out this new idea so i thought I’d leave my passing thoughts!

  • @himagainstill
    @himagainstill 5 років тому +19

    Nice format, but if I'm remembering my rules there's only supposed to be one point per round, to the caller if they pick out the truth, or to a bluffer if they get called. The truth-teller in each round gets nothing.

    • @qwertyTRiG
      @qwertyTRiG 5 років тому +3

      Person picked gets a point, and Tom gets a point if he picked right. So Tom can win only if he gets both games right, and they were different people's articles.
