Uncivil War: Sleeping Dogs - Bike Bashing Bonanza!

[jamail77]

[snip] Jim and Yatzhee need to stick with these goofy 'not the way the game is meant to be played' competitions.

How many have been played in the way they were supposed to be? Well besides Left 4 Dead 1 and 2. Just curious. [snip]

I'd say Mount Your Friends, Left 4 Dead 1, Call of Duty Knife fight, Left 4 Dead 2, AaaaaAaaaa Parachute Plunge, Max Gentleman Hat whatevers, and Alien: Isolation. So roughly half?

I'd say you're right except for Call of Duty. Yes, knifing is an intentional way to play the game, but the main course of action is shooting. It's not like the games have a mode in which you have no weapons but the knife. By only allowing themselves to knife each other, they made it unconventional. I doubt many online matches players set a rule to only knife each other, so from my point of view the COD one was played in a way it was not meant to be played.

I don't think Yahtzee knew what a motorcycle was at the start of that game. Its good that he finally reasoned what it probably was before the end.

Great minds think alike! I didn't think he understood either. I got the sense he thought they were hitting non-electric/manual peddling bikers rather than motorcycles. When he heard how fast Jim was scoring so soon into the match, I think he got the hint it was about hitting motorcycles rather than bicycles. After all, how could Jim encounter so many bicycles so quickly versus the more abundant motorcycles? Honestly, they really should have made that clear in the beginning. This isn't really a "Bike Bashing Bonanza"; it's a "Motorcycle Bashing Bonanza". Though, I suspect that may be a difference between American English and British English, not that I know. Either way, if Yahtzee knew at the beginning I think he might have won. As others have said though, it might have just been him not having active enough reflexes to hit the ones he barely missed rather than him not realizing what the challenge was at first.

Yahtzee just drove past about three at the beginning there. No matter, we all know he'll win this, while Jim will be sitting in a pile of candy bar wrappers occasionally using one to dry his tears.

I don't care if this did end in a tie or not, Yahtzee still won this round by a hopefully-hospitalized biker in my eyes... (mainly because I go by the basketball logic of time buzzers going off...)

Why do I feel yahtze handicaped himself on purpose? first he drives a mini-van, then he forgets to smash the first 5 or so bikes he encounters ...

These ties feel kinda lazy, almost like they couldn't be bothered to come up with a tie-breaker. I like Uncivil War for the banter but the challenges themselves could use a little work. Plus I would prefer if they actually played a 2 player game more often rather than just playing the same game in parallel, I tend to feel more invested in those episodes.
