I happened to be wearing a grim fandango shirt when I listened to this, always good to hear it get the well deserved love
Out of the people in these comments, the majority were born in 1994 (21), followed by 1993 (18), then 1997 (17), 1996 (15) and finally 1998 (14) for the complete top 5 list. The oldest commenter was born in '68, and the youngest four in '06. Of the 220 who answered, 139 were born between 1990-1999, 48 between 2000-2006, 30 between 1980-1989, and 4 before 1980.
1999!
Is there no game?

1990
Night in the woods!
So sad listening to this knowing there is no naddpod game 😣
Unfortunately, I think they got too ambitious in making the game. They also probably didn’t anticipate how much time/effort/money goes into developing a video game - especially if you actually any to make sure that it’s a good/great game when all is said and done. It wicks because I know if they had the resources, they probably would’ve made an amazing game that complimented the podcast greatly.
2004 gang
'89 Reboot the game project!
2006!!! (Allow me to ruin some people’s day, I turned 18 last November)

cualdwell and emily i think you guys should play what remains of edith finch if you haven't already, its a very short game that more like a story, but its not like spoon fed to you you get to discover it for yourself, and its very good with perspective and unique mechanics.
2001
1993!
1987
1995! I'm so excited about the video game. I have never actually gotten to play DnD in person, but have absolutely fallen in love with these characters and story.

I really want to be the voice of some nobody in Moonstone who is standing by the tavern saying "If you press 'Y' it opens up your menu".
1989!

Coolest news ever!!!
Im 1990 and my buddy who introduced me to the show is 1988.
I think I’m the youngest one here at 2002
1996. I feel like there's a fair bit of people in my age group here
1996!
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE GAME lol
Guys the video game is great and all but where is the adventure book where half the pages are game overs.
Please release it physically if it's gonna be on switch
Really hype for the game! Glad it's not a visual novel, coming from the studio it is! God I hope it's not just like FF though I can't stand the combat in Final Fantasy
1994 babeyyyyyy
Wait but what's wrong with Jack Skellington
02 babeyyyyy
Night in the Woods is in the itch.io bundle for racial justice!!!
Honestly Animal Crossing does NOT appeal to me but the way Emily played sounds fucking rad. Also I feel like terraforming is the only cool part
But why was Jake's wife walking in while he was in there Edit: oh never mind
1999 baby
1996 and I literally just screamed in my car in the parking lot at work! I'm so excited for this game!
1998 🥳
1985! I hope they do voice acting for the game
Here to represent my fellow 1999ers
Awesome news about the Naddpod Game I'm really excited and wanted to ask, if there will be a dice rolling element!? And a mini game for the mole city 💜😭😂 Also I was born in 1991.
Uh sound off 1995 But I also really want to hear about Emily playing NitW - one of my favourite games. First thing I thought about when she talked about playing a chill game.
2002! Jake got it right at the start
1990! Sooooo excited!
1993! This game is going to be unbelievable, I’m so excited.
1990 ✌️
2000! Y’all are amazing I’m still on shock from the donation stream! And now this?! I’ve heard of dreams coming true but this is ridiculous!
1994!
1984! Apparently I’m old now!
1994 also confirmed Emily axford > the Beatles
1995!
2001
1994, and so jazzed that Emily is playing NITW! I'll carry the conversation about constellations in my heart probably forever.
1989
Right
2006 Jack's are you
1990, damn y'all are younger than I thought
1997!
1994. And when and how can I preorder this game?! Also: I would sell my soul to watch Emily play Night in the woods.
Seriously NitW is so good
1986
1985!
1993! Cannot believe the game is actually happening! Congrats guys, so proud to see how far you guys have come!!
1997

98 here! Y'all should play Celeste, the music for that is amazing! and I'd love to see yall play Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Just realized this second we’ll get to play through Bahumia in YUGOH STYLE
98 , so excited for the game! congrats guys!!
i AM ‘06, and also I am very hyped for the game. I will be buying it the day it releases 100%!
Odds of a Monster Madness mini game? Sounds up Caldwell's alley!
1992
Born in 1993! Also I'm so so excited for this game ❤️ you guys are achieving so much, I'm proud of all you've accomplished
1994
Emily, if you like creepy stuffs, you should check out the Rusty Lake series of games on mobile. They're puzzle/escape room type games and super amazing.
YES!! The rusty lake series is amazing!! I legit have a rusty lake tattoo
1986
1988! i really can't wait for the naddpod game to be released. sounds like it'll be really immersive
1993, and loved hearing some Night in the Woods love 💜
1992 for the game after you beat the main story there should be a secret or bonus mode where you get to do Balnor’s solo fight at his town and maybe he has like all the best items or something
1995!
1995!
1992
1990 and so jazzed about a video game! (Apparently I’m the Balnor of fans aka OLD! 🤣)
2002
1993
1994 baby!!!
I've been thinking this for a long time, but I had to bring it up after hearing you guys talk about your 4 player run of Minecraft Dungeons: I would loooooove to see you guys do either a livestream or a let's play of some kind of 4 player co-op game as mixed bag content. The 2 Crew has such a fun friend dynamic and I especially love hearing Jake's reaction to gaming as someone with a totally fresh perspective. I hope we get to see something like this before Jake fully pops his gamer cherry! (lol)
Omg please do a four player co-op run of the first Borderlands
btw the composer who made the music for Minceraft Dungoens also wrote the music for Celeste. her music is amazing definitely recommend checking it out if ur into difficult 2d platforming
1995
1997
1994! I shall keep my expectations for your first dip into this new industry suitably restrained
97
Can we get a ringtone of Caldwell saying Bing Bong Boned
2002
1996
2002 so your head was right Jake
1998!
Some short but fun games y'all would enjoy are Firewatch and honestly most of the Nancy Drew mystery games are really good and hold up. All are available on steam
2002!
1999!
1997!
I’m so excited for this!!! Also I was born in 1993!
1984 god I’m old. 1000% in. This will finally answer one of the most pressing questions from the campaign-what did Duttle’s gun do? PS late to the party, but Murph listens to Last Podcast? Sweet.
1998 b! a lot of shit happened that year apparently. i don’t remember tho i was just a baybeee!
Awh man, Grim Fandango is one of my favorite games EVER! And Emily, I want to know what ending you get for Night in the Woods!
Train trumpet is the new crabster
1995 here and really excited for the Naddpod game! Really glad for the decision to make it arc-based too! And looking forward to knowing more on how's the guest PCs will play a part in the game! Hyped
Need to know what format the game is going to take bc this is going to cause me to buy my first ever game video game and console. Also 1990!
1974... I'll mind the bags I guess. :D
YES YES YES!
'98
'87
Just relistened to Eps 0, 1, & 2 the other day! What struck me was how primal Pawpaw was at the start. Can't wait to see the evolution of the Scramble man the game! 1968.
2000
1969. What systems will it be on?
1984 and a Naddpod game? I'll donate to that cause. Start a gofundme for it and lets shoot for a next gen console version. Lol
1994
I get it now. 1993.
Jake I am in the exact same boat. I bought the witcher on the switch and I dont have enough memory to play it
1986. I thought Jake was being ridiculous with his 2006 but I'm seeing a lot more 90's and 00's babies than I thought I would!
1993 and my fiancee 1995
1991
1998 Jake was off by the looks of it
1993.
1991
1997

‘92! 🙌🏼
Omg yussss!!! The question is.... will obsidian make a cameo??! WOWZA!!
Oh yeah forgot about the year, 2000!! I’m a millennial baby!!
Jake talking about animal crossing is the thing I didn't know I needed in my life.
1997 👍🏻
So excited for this game!
1996 👌🏻
Btw forget roses and thorns 🌹I wanna hear achievements and bugs from now on 🤖
1995, also are you going to have to rename things in the game cause of wotc? Like will you need to rename bullywugs to something else and by extension have to rename skullywugs and by extension extension have to not include the amazing skullywug song in pt 2?? Still hype af though Also looking forward to seeing Jake be slowly consumed by the discovery of great video games😁😁😁
1987, also thank you Caldwell. It's Mako, not... Mako.
1997! :) super stoked for the game!! TAKE MY MONEY MURPH!!
Don't just edge us, post a screenshot! Also, 1993
2003

Run, you pigeons! It's Robert Frost!
1994 Looking forward to hearing updates about the game. Thank you for hosting that charity stream. Love y'all!!
2006. Jake you scare me.
You have learned so many important life lessons before I ever did 😂
I would play an entire an entire 50 hour game in Shadowfell and another 90 hour game in the Nine Hells!
94
1995
I was born in 96!
I really hope the game has a flying sword/grey ooze hidden boss
1991 represent!
1991
*raises hand* I fully liked the Story and almost everything about the FF7 Remake. I know plenty of people who do as well. Personally I'm excited that I get to speculate on the future instead of shrugging and knowing everything that will happen.
I said as much! The *idea* of the ending is very good and sets up future games better, but the batshit LORE EXPLOSION could have been half as convoluted imo. - Murph

NADDPOD game! Such amazing news, can't wait 😍
It's about the power of friendship changing fate Murph I loved the ending Those last fights SLAPPED
I feel like maybe anyone who has played a lot of JRPG"s is desensitized to how crazy it is
the way my friend bethany recommended night in the woods to emily on one of zac's streams weeks ago and she credited caldwell
hahaha, murph might have edited it out but I said "well actually I'd been recommended it before," but then I brought up that I was thinking of playing it to Caldwell and he said I'd love it. I am in debt to Bethany for introducing me to Mae. ~Emily
NADDPOD GAME LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
Can we please play the demo game early 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Azerbaijan really does have a bangin' national anthem 😂
Oh my gosh, Emily, please share the rest of your Night In the Woods thoughts later, I absolutely want to hear all of them.
I will!!!
Jake talking about his island is the best. My husband and I have an island, been fun trying to have the best house
Thank you for bringing attention to Black girls CODE because I honestly have not stopped thinking about it and telling my friends. Such a great foundation !!
Big bonus sode
Sweet Beans! Bonus Episode!
NADDPODS FURURE IN WHAT? 😯😯
