Let's Play DREAM CRUSH

**Let's Play DREAM CRUSH** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

"*I'm having a mirror held up to me and I do not like it.* "
― Adam
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "always rerack your dumbbells when you've finished making those sweet gains".
* How well do we *know our friends' tastes in total studs*?
* Oh sweet lord, this one is glorious.
* Laurie and Sullivan are still defending champions, Laurie has the trophy on weekends.
* Monroe has big Sully energy.
* Laurie's trying to track Jon's eye movement and blush rate. Good luck with that.
* Laurie has a goth vibe, of course. This genuinely makes Adam laugh raucously, but I think we can all see it. Sullivan thinks it's just the tattoos - all people outside the mainstream are goths, as we know. Tweet Jon @ElFakidor to discuss.
* Laurie's answers about Jon are based solely on their proximity to each other. Adam: "You're me, or at least close enough to me to be me".
* Sullivan: "What's more fun than dancing while very hot?"
* Lots of people are putting Adam with Eddie - not *just* because of the ridiculous wrestling outfit, but *mostly* because of the ridiculous wrestling outfit .
* Tom: "I have never seen anybody look at someone the way that Adam looks at Sullivan Beau Brown".
* Blair is a sweet nerd, or a gigontic weeb.
* Adam and Blair with the major sibling energy as always.
* We'd like to see an actual Monroe-Sullivan date, and Adam's put a lot of thought into that date.
* Sullivan: "I'm not an insane narcissist so I wouldn't date myself". Plus Monroe's the worst on the table, so Sullivan's not happy about the comparison.
* Laurie likes beef jerky and bouldering. Ace may be his perfect woman.
* Jon likes terrible music - he does indeed love prog rock. None of the others can name a single prog rock band.
* Laurie: "I don't know much about Jersey, but I feel like it's outside".
* Adam: "Love that, love that - intense and rude, sign me up".
* Adam's starting to see the appeal of Monroe and is looking at Sullivan a little differently. Sullivan: "I'm going to write 'Adam'".
* We're sadly going straight past B-Train. We are too strapped for time, the B-Train has left the station leaving Jon behind.
* Monroe is now Sullivan's evil twin who is also better than him. Sullivan is in no way responsible for his actions so we should all stop looking at him.
* We also have to go straight past Tannibal Lecter. There is a real suspicion that Tom is continually choosing Tanner because he has a list of puns at the ready.
* The quirks our crushes have are pretty bad.
* Sullivan: "You could not pay me to have a waterbed".
* Tom: "Eddie's never getting past that Nazi thing, is he?"
* Laurie's a catty little madam, apparently - his partner's co-workers are abstract people, so he really doesn't care about them.
* Tom's going to fight Blair and Laurie for the ranch.
* We're into deep analysis of Laurie's tattoos now. He has surprising hipster tendencies.
* Sullivan sees Jon as the contented carer for an adult baby. That's disturbing. Jon seems more insulted by his link to Tanner than his link to Monroe.
* Tom: "SulliMonroe Brown."
* Adam: "What do we think about me, everybody?" What we think, apparently, is that he may have mother issues. Get on board!
* We're now reduced to 'Who is the least objectionable out of this lot?'
* Eddie kisses his mother on the lips. There is a lot of question as to who Eddie will kiss at the alter.
* Blair finally managed to peg Adam. Oh Lord, the fanfiction.
* If you have 2 people with an adult baby thing, there's nobody to play the adult, so Sullivan's rejecting Tanner. Again: oh Lord, the fanfiction.
* Tom: "You're not going to leave someone because their saliva glands work".
* Sullivan chose the bit in the end. Surprised? Jon's threatening violence if that makes him lose.
* We all know Tom heard 'ranch in Montana' and the game was over for him. Tom is taking this touchingly seriously for his summary.
