4:18:15 Episode Ends
The in-game start date for the episode was the 23rd of Fessuran in the year 843. Sam’s gas can has a picture of a young Matt reading a menu at Chuck E. Cheese’s.
The DnD movie was pretty good, just a well run heist adventure. I appreciate that they didn't try to set up a sequel, but I could definitely see potential future stories set in this world.
Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?
Absolutely incredible episode. One of the best in recent times… these kinds of absurd ones are the entire reason I watch this show. Y'all make magic, constantly. THANK YOU
The amount of joy this episode brought me 😂
Missed opportunity to call themselves jingle bell’s hells.
a few episodes ago: the world is going to end, there's no time, we have to save the gods!
now: well, guess we have time to save a toy store halfway across the world
xD
This episode was so much damn fun
if fcg gets legs hell be one step closer to just being mettaton
FCG being a flat-earther is such a silly bit and I love it.
This is peak D&D. The gods are in mortal danger, enchantments and spells are failing and the world is on the verge of collapse, but here we are saving a single toy shop from a fire bug infestation, making Ghost Busters references and a Santa Claus origin story cannon, throwing a polymorphed giant spider off a cliff, and Lil Jon-ing our way to the king and queen. 😂😂😂
D&O's sounds like Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
What's up with them saying this episode was sponsored by no one but having a sponsor in the description
the scientists have allowed her to make one sound 2:04:40
Biggus dickus
what does that reference way at the end mean?
Spoiler:
Turning that almost-Xmas rhyme into "To the Window, to the Wall" was a brilliant move at the end there. I'm crying laughing.
Is mister just a little chimchar
They really need to do a giveaway of all of Sam shirts with pictures
This episode has taken me a LONG time to get through. Can't wait to see Ashton and the gang again.
Mercer no shame I spent $20 beating that Jurassic Park at my birthday I was also a smidge too old to be at my local variation of Chuck E Cheese!
that opening seamed really forced idk
FRIDA reminds me of the robot from iRobot, especially with the sketches
Matt too soft for me occasionally, catered to travis' character chetney to a rediculous degree, "im so sorry i worked with a different material im glad you stabbed me about it, i'll abandon my home and current life on your whim, also here 1500 more gold than we agreed for killing half of the bugs i asked you to save, wrecking my shop, and stealing from me"
The idea of the fire beetles quickly breeding out of control reminds me so much of Fantasia's Sorcerer's apprentice animation, especially that one bit where the splinters all grow into brooms and overrun the place!
The Legendary Tales of Oldfart and Dicklick
Christmas came early this year
Travis is one of my favorite role players for sure
"We are unhinged tonight, ladies and gentlemen and everyone delightfully in between."
– Matt Mercer, 1:56:06
I am 100% stealing this phrase.
Damn Christian's RP with Sam is fantastic
3:44:50
well, this is WHY it should be pre-recorded. Yep.
Everytime Ashley gets mad her ellie comes out
Playing catch-up on months of CR content. Not sure that I am familiar with Christian's work outside of this, but what a fantastic addition he and F.R.I.D.A. are! I am loving the dynamic between F.R.I.D.A. and F.C.G.
if the firebugs act like bees the encounter should have ended as soon as Deanna's blind got both swarms, when bees cant see they believe its night time and will just drop to the floor and sleep
The Craskkalid looks like a cute version of a Neh-Thalggu
I want FCG to go to the Moon just to see that Exandria is a sphere.
Do aeormatons dream of electric sheet was SO good! 😂 I love niche jokes
There are moments when I suddenly notice the music and appreciate it greatly! 2:57:18 is one of them.
Going to Chuckie Cheese just to beat a Jurassic Park video game? That's peak Matt Mercer perfection.
I love Christian and Aabria so dang much. 😭😭❤️❤️ And Deanna and Frida are so precious. I love love love them. Christian/Frida really stole my heart. 😭😭❤️❤️
Just catching up…with Air Bubble does that mean Fearne (and up to two other people) could stay in the Hole for 24 hours?
Okay am I the only one who feels romantic-sexual tension between FCG-Frida + Frida-Deanna
Travis discribing how to pop a knee has my knee screaming
2:22:17 Matt said the words "reach around" and Laura didn't laugh……..what the fuck is up with THAT?!!
