@Adal, @Erin, and @JPC - I know it's possible that this episode has already been recorded, but if it hasn't and any of you hasn't chosen a topic, I'm a professor of linguistics and I use your riddles in my courses, and I would be happy to meet anytime to teach you about some of the science behind the language of riddles!

Thomas Flott

If any of you do anything biology related I may have an aneurysm lmao

*The Soldier of the Get Hey Riddle Riddle to play The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog War was unable to write this month, he was injured on the front lines and is in the infirmary*

I want all of these

On the one hand I get that, on the other hand, Golden Idol has no possibility of inducing motion sickness (unlike Obra Dinn and Superliminal) and does not require precise movement or timing in any way whatsoever (unlike Untitled Goose Game.) And considering the game starts with a murder, I really wouldn't say Golden Idol has a slow start. It's the perfect Review Crew game.

G.X. Barnett

Might I suggest: JPC: String theory Adal: Chaos theory Erin: The Fermi Paradox

Is this where those of us with PhDs all suggest our dissertations?

And now we find out if your audience is good fellas, or...

I like Golden Idol but can't quite bring myself to vote for it because if you look at past video game episodes it's clear the willingness to stick with slow starts or frustrating puzzles is just not there and I'm just not that interested in listening to yet another "one of them quit halfway through the tutorial and another played a few levels then watched a stream" review crew ep...

Legotti

By coincidence, I recently shared in the Adal discord channel a thing about grapes powering quantum fields

Legotti

I’m so pleased for science!

If you would like to have some fun you can try my partner's master thesis: " Development of a water quality pressure index (WQPI) under data-sparse conditions" http://permalink.obvsg.at/bok/AC17131435 Click "volltext" to see it

Lilyan Glaeser

What's your research?

Kelly Sczomak

Bee Movie but it’s the one on YouTube where it speeds up every time someone says bee.

Max

Golden idol can take a long time to finish if you have any trouble. I feel like its more a game you play in a few sessions

Laurel

Listening to them review bad movies is usually my favorite but Bee Movie is more than I can handle.

Ayn Like Ryan

Can we please keep the bee movie for next month cause I need to hear y'all review it

Kayla Kindig

I just had some of my research get published this month in a scientific journal. I don't think my work would actually be that interesting for a podcast, but I bet plenty of listeners have written articles that you guys could read and try to explain for the episode.

MaxMin

Case of the Golden Idol is a great game and should be played regardless imo

Pumpkin Soup

Ooooo, I like these options (except Bee Movie, but 3 out of 4 isn't bad)!

Tessa H.

Both Golden Idol games are SO GOOD

nini

Sensing that maybe the science topic option exists to menace the listeners who do know science.

Dean Scream 717

It's somehow always the one I want the least that wins. Every time.

Celena

This could've been the thing that made me watch Bee Movie but I guess I'm going to have to carry on waiting for the right time...

Grace Pritchett

Someone call Hank Green!

Tyler Stercula

My wife and I just beat Golden Idol yesterday! It is such a wonderful mystery game. That said, I voted for science topics, because that sounds fun as hell

Matt S.

I voted for Investigate, but was still pretty shocked to see that Bee Movie wasn't in the lead. Good work everyone!

Brandon Nunnery

If there’s one thing the podcast space doesn’t have enough of it’s people talking about scientific things they don’t know much about

Hunter E

Yeah I'm worried they'll pick a topic I'm knowledgeable on

Ron

They can do their science topic this month and a corrections episode next month. 👩🏼‍🔬

Hunter E

Kind of heartening that at least so far the "make them do the worst/meme-iest one" push seems not to have shown up this time...

Caroline Gruber

These are all so good.

Charlie

Bee Movie outperforming Golden Idol is devastating to me.

Andrew Boehme

please god anything but Bee Movie

Faith Quist

Museum and golden idol both sound great to me. I worry with the science thing that someone will very confidently say something very wrong and not be corrected, and if I happen to know it's wrong, it will drive me insane.

Cayden pruiett

Same tbh. My buddy and I are playing it together and it’s even harder making time in both of our schedules lol

Jesse Abramson

Golden idol is one of my favourite games of all time but the video game review crews have set a low bar haha

Todd Wells

Erin PLEASE explain quantum computing

Benny

If you're in line to vote for bee movie STAY IN LINE

Kathleen Sawisky

Someone explain rabies. And black holes. And how gravity works and why the sun isn't going to fall into earth, because my kid is really really worried about that and no amount of comfort on my part has been helping!

Dehlan Sage

I'll have to check out the game I've never heard of it. Someone's definitely already recommended this, but another game that you all would enjoy and would be easy for Erin's motion sickness is disco elysium. It's a murder mystery kinda RPG.

Michad

Team museum. It's been too long since we had a review where they actually had to go out to a place and do things.

Matthew Steinmetz

Who is going to be the one to try and describe quantum entanglement and make it exclusively sexual innuendo

Ron

As one of the listeners with a "science-y" job, I'm very hopeful that the science topic will win.

finch

these are all so good 😭

Noah June

Month three of requesting “listen to all four of the uncle mumbles episodes”. One of these days…it’s gonna work…

Bryan Turley

FOR SCIENCE!

Benjamin Regan

Hardest poll yet!

Adam Kronfeld

Fun game; I'm only three or four in because I keep running out of time to play games and i I don't finish a puzzle in a sitting I will completely forget all context.
