2016s Old Game of the Year: Jenga

 

[petethepanda]

Video games are great and all, but, like, this is legitimately the most exciting thing I've seen at E3 so far.

 

[Teddified]

[Zackat]

[jediyoshi]

Waiting for norm chan to rush in and knock it down

 

[nasax]

Man that thing was swaying like crazy

 

[Ketch]

Who is the other guy?

This is like Tim Schaffer vs the inventor of Jenga.

 

[Myggen]

Greg Rice of Double Fine.

Pretty sure that is Greg Rice, also works at Double Fine.

 

[Chuck]

NOBODY WINS

 

[nasax]

[Volotaire]

[MrDaravon]

No more legal moves.

My money is an unexpected JohnnyV.

 

[Ketch]

No more legal moves.

what's a legal move?

 

[Wingfan19]

Damn, I want some Pringles now. Where's my curly mustache at?

 

[darksagus]

Something feels right about a bunch of video game nerds circled around a jenga tower.

 

[Acorn]

Pro Level jenga there man.

 

[cb1115]

does being a professional athlete mean you can eat a whole can of Pringles without gaining 50 pounds

what am i doing

 

[DJ88]

What's this taking a brick from the second to last layer shit?

That's too easy.

Gotta be at least 3 layers down man!

 

[icespide]

Dan will fuck it up

 

[Volotaire]

Tainting the game

I think they only started doing that once they were out of bricks from the rest of the layers.

 

[nasax]

Stay away Dan!

There was literally nothing else left.

Pringles jenga

 

[petethepanda]

Does anyone remember that Jenga commercial in the mid (late?) 90s with a bunch of kids standing in the middle of a huge abandoned factory playing Jenga, all chanting "Jengaaaaa..." at each other?

 

[Myggen]

Did they basically win at Jenga?

 

[SmackAttack]

Music that makes you feel like everything is going to be okay.

 

[BUNTING1243]

Oh man for a second I thought Rorie was just gonna absent mindedly walk into the tower and I got super excited

Did they basically win at Jenga?

Yeah, I've played a few games that ended that way. Usually Jenga has no winner, only a loser, unless that happens.

 

[Volotaire]

Did they basically win at Jenga?

No. Jenga beat them.

"Jenga."

Once the tower is built, the person who built the tower gets the first move. Moving in Jenga consists of taking one and only one block from any level (except the one below the incomplete top level) of the tower, and placing it on the topmost level to complete it. Only one hand should be used at a time when taking blocks from the tower. Blocks may be bumped to find a loose block that will not disturb the rest of the tower. Any block that is moved out of place must be returned to its original location before removing another block. The turn ends when the next person to move touches the tower or after ten seconds, whichever occurs first.

They were playing by the official rules.

 

[MrDaravon]

There were literally no more possible pieces to pull that wouldn't result in an immediate collapse. Like Austin posted on Twitter, they basically reached the Jenga kill screen.

 

[User 85168]

do I spy Jeff Bakalar?

 

[petethepanda]

"Jenga."

It's 2016 and I still somehow never think of simply looking this shit up on YouTube, lol. Crazy nostalgia rush.

 

[Gattsu25]

Okay, just finished watching the previous segment and it was one of the best segments I've seen on the channel. Giant Bomb's E3 coverage has made this week go by so much quicker than it normally would.

I've played games where we've gotten to this point. We always make someone attempt to pull a middle block out and have it land flat on the next layer. None of this draw bullshit

The next wait is a whole section by itself.

Ok seeing that picture from the set I can see that now. Holy shit haha.

Drunk Jenga at bars is the best.

 

[HideyoshiJP]

I see they have a Mac Pro hooked up on the right...

 

[Salarians]

Drew appeared!

 

[Gobias]

Oh man for a second I thought Rorie was just gonna absent mindedly walk into the tower and I got super excited

That would be a total Rorie move

Yep, I knew the exact ad as soon as I read your post. Only in the 90s would a game like Jenga be pitched as hardcore.

 

[Volotaire]

Here we go!
