Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

I keep hearing chatter about how hilariously fun this game is, so I bought it (it's on sale today). I'm hoping a few other Icrontians buy it so we can give it a shot some evening.
Basically somebody gets a timebomb and the others have bits of the manual and you have to talk it out and help the person defuse the bomb (or troll them and make them kill themselves).
Any game that reviewers say "It will test the limits of your communications skills (and friendships)" sounds like a game for IC.

Apparently only one copy of the game is required. The manual is literally printed. From the site:
Local multiplayer party game – A great way to experience VR with all of your friends at the same time!
Only one copy of the game needed! If you can talk to the bomb defuser, you can be their expert! Try using your favorite voice chat service and playing remotely.The bomb defusal manual is freely available at http://www.bombmanual.com and can be printed or viewed on a tablet or any other web-enabled device.

This game is a lot of fun. Highly recommended.
Somebody talk me through defusing this bomb holy shit
BAM! Thank you @Basil and @UPSlynx for SAVING MY LIFE. We're sweating over here.
Bobby just killed me. He killed me.
I was getting insufficient bomb feedback during the process and made a mistake as a result. Your death is no one's fault but your own.
YOU FAILED TO MEMORIZE THE THINGS YOU NEEDED TO MEMORIZE
Whatever makes you feel better, bossman. I'll be haunting you for all your waking days.
Pretty sure if you die in the game you die in real life.
Now another robert has killed me. Thank you for DEATH, @Thrax
Finally I have been talked through successfully defusing bomb #2. Thank you for giving me back my life, @Thrax
I saw this on steam and IMMEDIATELY thought about Icrontic, esp at ICHQ shindigs.
We're even on the deaths, breh. Thank you for giving me life.
HOLY SHIT THIS GAME
We are solidifying our defuse expert team
I am your wire whisperer (both simple and complex) and button man
@UPSLynx is your Keypad and Maze wizard
@Thrax is your password and Who's On First man
@DontCallMeKelso is your Memory and Simon Says go-to
Seriously, now that I've played this a bunch, this BLOWS MY MIND
So for shits and giggles, I tried doing the first bomb on my own with the manual... I know... I know... against the rules, but it was totally doable.
I wouldn't try it with any other bomb set up, but damn this game is so much fun. Need to go to ICOK somehow to play with everyone irl
That made my heart rate climb just watching it. That is some pro bomb defusing.
-ponders what it would take to make real modules like that-
-realizes that's a dangerous line of thought-
My favorite thing about playing this last night was @primesuspect nervously shouting out modules and setups, and suddenly hearing @Linc in the background shouting and making him panic. Amazing.
I made a spreadsheet for the complex wires, let me know if any questions
