At 9:25 people have asked if someone was being rude to me. To clarify, it was all a joke! The person there at the Van Ryder Games booth is Julie Ahern, a friend and cohost of the At the Table Podcast she does with Tom and Eric. I should have clarified in the video that it was a silly bit. I don't want anyone to think negatively of her nor Van Ryder Games! Also, I'd hope you wouldn't think of me as someone who would spitefully run into a booth like that! Other clarification, I do not sing opera. It's license-free music we source. I only sing about döner kebab.

Always funny how different people perceive certain situations. I would have not even noticed that this might not have been lighthearted and friendly mockery

At 14:01, I myself confirm on camera that the döner at SPIEL is indeed something to sing about. Thanks for being such good sports guys, it's a pleasure to see you.

Yeah, I listen to the podcast and figured it was Julie. She’s fun to have on the show. Pity there will be no DT Opera album dropping post Spiel.

Trogdor reference LET’S GOOOOOOOOO. A man of culture.

These videos are the most enjoyable coverage of Essen.

Very fun video. Kind of heartwarming to hear everyone's favourite thing about Spiel. Also DT taking a leaf out of the Marvel Studios playbook with all the post credits scenes ;)

I cant tell you how much I enjoy watching these convention updates, and the cruise ones too. I wish I could be there!

9:24, a good example of why you should always check the background before a shot. The 'P' boat is ready for sail.

It was very nice to see the dice tower booth live and meet Tom at my first Spiel. A bit overwhelmed by how big it is, 🤯, but so much fun. It is also fun to sneakily see myself in the video. 😉

I gotta say, the handsome man at 15:10 is entirely correct! Would love to get over next year.

Was able to play Windmill Valley! I really liked it! Defintely keeping an eye out for that one next year :D

Love that cups-and-orange-trick....

It was nice meeting you ! Compared to Saturday, Friday looks totally empty😂

Holy Cow. Dungeon Twister.

All the food there makes Pax Unplugged food seem like rocks lol.

8:42 Feld really traveling the whole world.

More opera montages, that was awesome. Seriously.

Does anyone know what's the name of the game at 8:50? I'm so intrigued by the big iconography 😮

Looks like Icons of Kyev, I think. Some of the stuff looks a little different on the BGG but I am guessing that is because it is just about to go to kickstarter and they whipped up some nicer looking stuff for ks videos and what not. There is enough similar components for me to think it's the same game. I love iconography like this, so I am glad someone is making a game about it.

I could see Robinson Crusoe Collector's Edition there at 3:52. The same one that has been an ongoing Gamefound drama in terms of issues and which has still not been delivered to backers. It seems Essen also had some "Gamefound Exclusives" available there. And cheaper from what I heard. Bizzare.

So that's Chris Yi singing opera in the background, right?

Judging from the copyright notice under the video, it's Non Piu Andrai by Ron Meixsell.

The Japanese games look cool!

8:28 i refuse to believe this isnt Chris singing

Chris, please bring a copy of Rebel Princess !!

I kind of agree with the general sentiment that this years Essen feels a lot more vibrant and higher quality on average than last year. Perhaps 2022 was still feeling the effects of the tail end of covid...

We’re famous now! 🤣🤣🤣

13:41 Tom's hat selling Icecreame?

Please tell me the name of the ingredient game at the end!

It's great to have Chris joining our Pizza Party and playing BUBBLE KING! ❤🧋

What was up with the Final Girl staff? I would think twice before supporting a company that treats their base with attitude like that.
