VIDEO: Grasshopper's G40 Custom Table

Thanks CWO Marc,

I always knew that I would make a video eventually just for that reason alone (can’t capture everything in stills). This table took about 3 years to build, including an inferior prototype table that I eventually replaced when I built the higher quality, and better designed 2nd table featured in the video. Many ideas were implemented and tested over the years with playability in mind, and everything was designed to make the game experience easier for players, especially newbies. As a host, the best feature for me is how after 10 hours of playing, the room pretty much looks the same as when we started (except for the beer bottles, pop cans, and pizza boxes). Everything needed to play the game, as well as all the extra customized elements have their own place on the table. A big difference from when we first stated playing Global with so many separate boards, charts, and trays laying around waiting to get spilt just because someone had to get up and use the washroom. I’m hoping more custom table builders will consider presenting their creations in video form… I would very much like to view theirs in the same way.

@FieldMarshalGames:

LOVE IT!!!   It even has a “feel” of a Bunker!

Hope I can make it over for a game one day.

Pick any day and I’ll invite the whole Oshawa gang over… we can also play some ROE.

I just edited the video with some informative subtitles… might be worth a second look. However, not sure why the newly edited subtitles didn’t show up on my mobil devices.

They didn’t show up on my immobile desktop PC either.

Odd… every time I play the video on my mac laptop, I can see them, but not on my I-phone.

Thanks for the great comments guys… can anyone tell me if they can see the subtitle captions I’ve added to the video?

@SS:

I just watched it again. Didn’t see any subtitles and it ran like it was in slow motion.

Just figured it out… You will need to enable your closed caption button (CC) on the lower right side of your Youtube screen. Click to get the full experience of the video.

@SS:

Saw the subtitles but for me the video was like it was crawling. Maybe my computer. But first time I watched worked good.

Sounds like your network connection is slow, I’m just glad that the subtitles showed up because that was a lot of work.

@Der:

Subtitles and all worked fine for me.

Awesome! now I can stop customizing my table, and start refining my strategies.

Sorry everyone, but I was not happy with the video and the closed captions are just not working for everyone. Therefore I made a new video this morning and have replaced the link in the first post of this thread. There’s no need to view it a second time as it’s only a little different, but pretty much the same content. However, don’t expect to see any subtitles if you do watch it again. Cheers.

Would love to, but I’m not sure what the purpose would be… if you tell me what the nature of the end goal is, it would help me decide what content to write. Is it to show off my table and explain the details of all the features involved?
