Dialogue: 0,0:07:29.60,0:07:35.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I decided, ‘What happens if one of \Nthe balls in the billiard is a pendulum?’
Dialogue: 0,0:07:37.12,0:07:40.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then also instead of \Nhaving a rectangular table,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.64,0:07:44.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I decided to have an elliptical \Ntable or an oval table.

Dialogue: 0,0:08:05.64,0:08:09.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway it’s a totally different game and, and,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:09.12,0:08:11.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it’s more complex in many ways.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:11.16,0:08:14.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It’s also much more boring \Nthan a normal billiard game,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:14.44,0:08:18.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but uh, and also I didn’t put any rules except
