Forward, reverse
From Liquipedia, the Liquid Fun encyclopedia
HHHHHHHHHHH
Forward, reverse (aka DVD extras aka Director's cut) is a scene game for four players.
Players start a normal scene based on the audience's suggestion.
At any time, the ref can direct the action by yelling one of the following commands:
- Reverse: Actors do the actions they just did, in reverse order. They repeat speech without reversing each word, because to do otherwise would by impossible... and unintelligible
- Forward: (after reverse) Actors start going normally forward again.
- Slow-motion: Voices lower, action slower. Subliminal messages may come out.
- Fast Forward: Everything fast and high-pitched.
- Pause: Freeze.
- Skip to: Scene goes ahead to wherever the ref wants.
- Eject: Scene starts over.
- Director's Commentary: Scene continues, but one actor delivers their own detqached observations.
The ref often uses only the forward and reverse commands.. Unsurprising, considering the title of the game.
Big movements are good in this game, as are long speeches that are hard to remember and repeat.
