message: I distinctly remember a humerous aspect of the game. In a multi-player game, if nobody buzzed in and one of them had a substantial amouont of money, the host would ask something like "What? Nobody wants to answer? Hey player (with substantial amount), you've got money to lose, you give it a try." The player would be buzzed in and forced to answer the question. Amount of money gained or lost from answering right or wrong stayed the same.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.13.18.60 (talk) 10:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Being forced to answer a question

message: I thought most players hated Buzz and that's why he gets his ass kicked in his cameo in The Ride. Why on earth do we suddenly have a huge outpouring of enthusiasm for him and a list of companies that have approached him? Shouldn't this information be in an article about him and not in the main description?
=== Agreed. ===
I was also convinced that nobody liked Buzz's 'nasal' speech, wikipedia is the first time I've read anything differently.  I always heard that nobody liked the 'change of host' when Volume 2 came around, because they preferred the original host, and thought Buzz was irritating. --CherryMay 09:41, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

message: For some reason I remeber that in one YDKJ game (possibly the first) that you could "screw" other players, and a screw would impale their number and they would have to answer the current question. 24.240.41.48 21:39, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Todd Rundgren is a guitarist with some measure of popularity. In You Don't Know Jack: The Ride, a credit for a 'Todd Rundgren' is listed as providing wickedly awesome guitar licks, or somesort. I can't imagine that this would be some OTHER Todd Rundgren, but I don't know for certain, and can't verify from any other source. Anyone know for certain? If it is the famous guy, I would think that the information would be notable enough to be included in the article. KensterFox 14:08, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Todd Rundgren credit

message: Hi, full transparency, I work for Jackbox Games - used to be Jellyvision Games. Anyways, couple large factual things incorrect that I respectfully bring to the editors' attention. First, the company name is actually Jackbox Games and no longer Jellyvision Games. The name change came about this year as part of the finalizing of the split off of Jellyvision Labs - an interactive conversation company. We are the same company that has always been the developer and IP holder for YDKJ - just a new name. So the link for the company website is also now incorrect and it is jackboxgames.com
Second, YDKJ is not only on Facebook now but also iOS and Android (cross-platform between the three casual platforms) and we just came out on Ouya.
Third, IF it is of interest to the editors, YDKJ won the Social Game of the Year category for the SPIKE TV video game awards in 2012 (http://www.polygon.com/2012/12/7/3741630/spike-video-game-awards-2012-trailers)
Thank you for any help in addressing these inaccuracies.
Best,

thread_title:  Developer Name Incorrect and Two Other Items 

message: YDKJ was released as a Roku app on 2013-03-05 — see here — but is not metioned in this article. (Curiously, the Roku app has not been updated since its initial release, and still shows the developer as "JellyVision" both in the channel listing and within the app itself, as the name change from "JellyVision" to "Jackbox" did not take place until a few months after release.) — Jaydiem (talk) 20:25, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

message: Hello, after I read "You Don't Know Jack Vol.4 – carbon copy of U.S. Vol.6 ("The Lost Gold") in German" I was a bit confused because this would indicate that (like Germanys Games 1-3) it is a regionalization of "Lost Gold" and just translates/changes the questions. But in this case it is the other way around: US "Lost Gold" came out on December 1, 2003 while Germanys 4th game came out on September 10, 2003 plus the US version mentions the German game in one of the opening texts, still has the player renamed "Arschloch" (German for "Asshole") when "Fuck You" is typed in by a player during a gibberish question (in German it is the mentioned "Arschloch") and still has US YDKJ 5th D. music in it's files (I did not rechecked this, however: the German game uses music from US YDKJ 5th D.).
In comparison to Germans Vol. 4, US Vol. 6 uses new music and added the pirate theme, but graphically it is the same (exept regional changes of course).
In my opinion the following should be changed:
"You Don't Know Jack Vol.6: "The Lost Gold" – December 1, 2003" should become "You Don't Know Jack Vol.6: "The Lost Gold" – December 1, 2003, based of German Volume 4"
and
"You Don't Know Jack Vol.4 – carbon copy of U.S. Vol.6 ("The Lost Gold") in German" should become "You Don't Know Jack Vol.4 – foundation for U.S. Vol.6 ("The Lost Gold")"
However, I want to discuss this here first.
