Dr. Ashen and Guru Larry are back playing another obscure 1980′s children’s board game based on a classic arcade machine. Donkey Kong. We say “playing,” but most of the time is them going on about random British stuff. It’s all very funny!

Be sure to check out Ashen and Guru Larry play Pac-Man: The Board Game over at TGWTG!!!

Also, Be sure to check out Guru Larry’s YouTube Channel!!!

Not forgetting Ashen’s YouTube Channel!!! Ashens and Guru Larry Play Donkey Kong: The Board Game, 4.2 out of 5 based on 35 ratings

      For a board game, it was actually really good! It does make me realise how much I miss them in this day and age.

        The games that are coming out now are more yuppie oriented. Scene It was a lot of fun. It’s good to know that all the board game classics like Monopoly and Battleship are still being made and still available. Hang on to the board games in case the power goes out!

    I really enjoy your chemistry with Ashens, Larry. As an American, we’re very familiar with chads. The 2000 presidential election of George W. Bush vs Al Gore was infamous in Florida for the recounts they had to do and the hanging chads on some of the ballots. Basically, a chad that is punched, but is hanging by a thread. If you knew it, tough shit, I reminded you of it again ;)

    You said you’re getting together with a few other brits for a video? I’d love to see you and Film Brain do a cross-over.

    Don’t worry, Larry. You’ll beat that cunt Ashens at a board game next time ;) And I mean cunt lovingly.

      Lol, thanks bud. :D I’ve been in a cross-over with Mike J over Christmas, and planning something with Happy Harry too soon!

      Yeah I did hear about the whole Chad thing with the elections, totally forgot about it. Wasn’t it that ones without complete holes were deemed null and void or something?

      Lol, thanks bud, I’d never have chosen this video to introduce us, but I’m glad you like it :D

      You might like my Films Yanks Can’t Wank series on TGWTG too, Also Ashens’ Terrible old Games series…

        You’ve gotta see Larry’s Apache video. Off the top of my head, I believe that’s the one with the kids at the farm. It’s a great review. The film itself is so fucking bad. I wish we had shit like that in the US when I was a kid.

    Grate show guys, It looks like they really put some effort into doing a good conversion. A LOT better than the Double Dragon board game.

    Can you guys cut back on the file size some? This video file is HUUUUGE! A typical 20 minute Critic video is usually about 120mb or so, but this one is a whopping 637mb! I can’t even watch it straight through, because Blip will only let me see a few seconds at a time before pausing it.

    Sorry to sound like I’m just bitching, but I really find it hard to enjoy a video when I can’t even watch it.

      I still can’t get to grips with Blip’s inability to convert videos for me.

      That and I’m also neurotic about video quality, this was originally a 720p video (which I’ll put on YT at some point) But I just can’t get my head around what is the optimimum resolution.

    That was awesome you two! Milton Bradley really put some effort into adapting videogames for the tabletop didn’t they? And I also thank you guys for the occasional cuts >_>

    And like everyone else has said already, you two really play off each other very well

      Thanks bud, we’ve done a couple of videos together already, and we’d love to turn this board game thing into a regular series for TGWTG.

      But we are planning on something really special with a few other Brits on the site, something not gaming or movie related at all!

    That was nice. I love watching people play board games. Its a shame the world has turned mostly digital now on. Great way to relax, playing a board game or reading a book.

      Indeed, Board games. Especially this kind are pretty much dead now. and even if you do play them, it’s once at Christmas or of you come across it in the attic and want to play it for old time’s sake :D

        Yes. Love spreading those lovely childhood germs. You seal them up in a box till you want to catch it again. Just like opening Pandora’s box. Hehe

    Ah, sometimes it is fun watching other play games instead of playing them yourself.
