Hello, hello, and indeed, ahoy, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this here episode of BRBUK.

I am Dan, but, as you've probably noticed, I'm not actually here.

Now, this is nothing to do with having a forced period of exclusivity on the podcasting version of the Epic Game Store.

No, sadly, the reason I can't be with you this evening is much more mundane, and it's namely that I can't get off work.

Curse you, corporate overlords!

But I'm going to leave you in the very capable hands of my friends, Tim, Coleman, and I hear

some other waifs and strays from the Big Red Barrel family.

Sorry I can't be there to be with you all tonight.

Sounds like a very cheesy segment from This Is Your Life or something, but no, genuinely

guttered, I can't be here with you

all this evening so anyway i'll let you get back to it raise a cup of tea and make sure you enjoy

this here episode streamed live in front of your very faces here at res of brb uk take it away chaps

if the british empire and its its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say this was their finest hour.

We stand for Queen, Country and Video Games, BRB, UK. Worst teeth, better accents.

Hello there. Usually, this podcast, we've never done a live one. This is interesting for us. we thought we'd for ourselves on the deep end and do it at EGX Res, which is not just mine, but these guys' favourite show as well to do. So it's quite a big deal for us. And it's a break from the norms. Usually this is a show where we do kind of gaming news, reviews, that kind of stuff. And we're going to take a different spin on it tonight, Tim. We're doing things a little bit differently. We had to plan ahead a little bit, which is different for us in itself. But then also, yeah, we just decided to kind of discuss some of the best games of the generation. And also, as we do a Tabletop Tuesday gaming event, where if anyone doesn't know, it's a board game event in a video game theme bar.

We thought it would be a good point of discussion to talk about the best board game video games

and the best video game board games. And we'll come on to exactly what the distinction is

between those two in a minute as well. And also you may have noticed there's lots of tat around
