I know everyone loves critical role, but AI is the Og and they hold a place in my heart. Love all you guys do, also if you don’t have the blanket they put out it’s rad.
CR is a bag of wank alongside AI, doesn't come close. Bunch of overexposed voice actors putting up their weekly game to milk the peasants of their last few coin.
AI in its golden age (Chris,Jerry,Mike,Scott,Pat,Will) was a billion times better than anything CR did, but alas the star has fallen. CR has its funny moments, but they are few...burried in hours of boring """"""dramatic"""""" role-play.
I have to admit, I teared up when Chris stepped on to the stage. He is, and always will be, my DM goals. I am so excited for this to continue the way Lathander intended Oh also I LOVE that Jeremy is playing Vi as a PC now. He is such a fun player. I'm so stoked for all of this. PRAISE THE MORNING LORD
J.craw was good, but for me, Chris is part if the acquisition incorporated team and feel. It's just so nostalgic whenever I see pat, Jerry, mike, Scott, will, ect
im glad Heryr and Mike are returnng, but rerally want one more of the OGs, i dont car eif its Binwin, Aoelfel or Viari, jsut gimme ONE MORE!! i also like Morgaen, and Certinty, i dont mind Bobby Zim but i DESPISE Evalyn the dingy papdin who spends eveyr combat castingf spells instea dof actually being a paladin, and the dingy crap is like chalk on the chalk board of my soul.
I was about to go to bed listening to this, but as soon as Perkins walked on stage I decided I wasn't sleeping anytime soon. I enjoyed this so much, makes me wish I had just bought that weekend pass and gone to PAX! Next year for sure. ❤❤❤
Okay....deep breathe....I absolutely support and Love Chris Perkins!!! So glad to have him back. Mr. Crawford was a different style of DM...So let me add as well.... Thank you Jeremy for your time and creative story telling. Now. Would Scott, Pat, Mike, Jerry and Will please do a one shot?
@@iancasleton6356 Scott Kurtz had a fallout with the P.A. over ownership of Acquisitions Incorporated. (Basically, he thought he should be part owner.) He also burned bridges with Kris Straub, among others.
I learned recently that the DCA crew still play with Chris, and the story has kept going but they don't stream it any more, which is the biggest punch in the gut i've had for a while. They should release it in book form.
1:49:36 - Jerry rolling poorly will never not amuse me, and somehow this was even funnier than his usual rolling 1 on a dex check _with a -1 modifier._ 😂
Chris Perkins and the original Acquisitions Inc podcast waaaay back in 2008 was my gateway drug to D&D. So awesome to see him back! Will be fun to see what they do at PAX West. Maybe the prophesized return of Jim Darkmagic???
Chris Perkins has me smiling like I was during my first time experiencing the OG Acquisition Incorporated with Viari, Binwin, Omin, and Jim. I discovered them in the mid 20 teens when I was in college. It was always such a joy and I shared it with my friends who had never played dnd. Eventually we would go on to play dnd together fairly often, playing in my friends grandma’s house when she was still living bless Peg 💛, and have a great time. We recently got together and had a game in the summer despite us all being out of school and working all the time. This truly was a treat. Chris Perkins is truly a magic man and one of a kind dm. Welcome back my friend 🙏🏼 my nostalgia and imagination thanks you
I love Acq Inc. They're told they've been transported through time to another world for reasons they don't understand and nobody thinks to ask the locals what year it is.
It's a different type of comedy with the new players and the story thus far has been feeling lacking but I think that has more to do with the content and not the delivery. Like bulma episodes in the og dbz.
@@MrWickedsamurai I doubt better content would magically make these new players interesting or tolerable. Nothing about them is even close to being as entertaining as Kurtz and binwin. Even Jim would be better by far. Omen was always the most boring and basic of the old group and now he's the entertaining one... Which is sad
It was the newer players. The old gang made comedic gold out of any non existing plot. The golden age of Acqu Inc was Chris, Jerry, Mike, Scott & Pat, also with Will. When only Jerry remained, the shows became quite boring. All strong entertainers were gone but one. Evelyn & Xavier worked well with at least two other strong players/entertainers...but they can't carry a show on their shoulders. Jeremy is great though. Don't care for "Certainty".
@usern4metak3ns Something about Kurt always sat wrong with me though. Chris Straub is ok but his speech patterns lull me to sleep, and strix was mostly enjoyable when mike/Jim was there. Patrick has been my favorite by far. Having to wait so long between adventures has sucked, so now I'm thoroughly invested in vldl dnd.
Im not crying, youre crying! You guys remind me of The Temptations no matter how many of you are there or in which order sweet music is made. I appreciate each and every one of you at Acq Inc, been watching since day one and youve saved many a long drives or down moments. I know everyone has their personal things about live shows or podcast or personallity but you all have brought so much joy. GREEN FLAME!!!!!!!!!
Now that Chris is back, I can finally enjoy Acq Inc again ! I'm sure Jeremy's good but it never felt right for me. Welcome back Christopher Zarathustra !
So glad that I gave this episode a chance! This is literally the first episode that I've watched since JC took over DM duty just after Dragon Heist came out. It feels so god damn good having Chris Perkins sitting back on his rightful throne as the DM of Acquisitions Incorporated.
I could swear he was dressed as vi before. Then again I have a vivid imagination and with his excellent voice acting it'd be easy for me to have dressed him up in my memory.
Absolutely. I barely made it through the last couple of episodes, no comparison at all to the AI golden age where everybody was laughing their assess off, especially the crowd. Look how tame they are. Chris, the DM god, 3 strong veteran players (Jerry, Mike, Pat) and two or three good supporting players. (Xavier, Evelyn, Holly, Kthriss and MORGAIN of course). Even Jeremy as a surprise DM/Player would be great.
The Drow from ipanema. ...Tall and tan and recluse and sneaky The drow from underdark a' goes walking And when she flashes, daggers the passersby Goes "A-a-a-a-Hrgh!!

Good game! They had some kind of plot you could relate to and understand again :) Hope „series 2“ will give opportunity for the charakters like Evelyn to have some development again elevating them from their „live show stereotype“ to more relatable full fletched persons like it was in DCA.
Before I ever tried D&D or played board games, I started listening to these podcasts starting from the very beginning when they came out. I laughed so hard and felt determined to learn all about Dungeons & Dragons. Seeing Chris Perkins all these years later feels so good.

@@ChronusDio ha yeah! The ones I watch the most is ark of the mad mage and the live ones up until they entered hell. The whole hell adventure was funny enough, but when it got to the prison and simulation stuff, it was just too overly complex on the story, when the true potential always lay in the characters being given the freedom to play off of one another. I can't resist reminiscing on the time Omin got run over by a wagon, put his hands to his destroyed stomach and said "hooo" XD
@@falls2shine712 I think my fav part was Jim using minor ilusion to trick Jeff into thinking he was a wizzard... Purest stupidiest thing to do, but that was a guy having fun roleplaying
Loved MR Perkins, MR Crawford was good if very different, I've also missed Scott Kurtz, he was a big heart (and humour) of the group; but I wonder if WOTC/Hasbro's implosion with the Open Gaming License/2023 Film will impact on AI's future. This has been a huge source of FUN for me since 2009!
Sometimes I forget that, at their heart, a lot of these folks working on D&D are just big nerds who love to play. Seeing Jeremy play feels cathartic. He looks like he's having a blast.
Grey Hawk and "mort" should have guessed mordenkainen was here reference. wait for jerry to roll a 1 oh wait Chris is here of course he will as his first roll with Chris back
I'm praying Mike wants to come back, if not as Jim, then as anything. I don't care if he wants to be a tree in the background, it would still be awesome XD As someone else stated before me. We miss the golden age of Acq Inc.
@@pennyarcadeTV Thanks for that update! It is a major selling point by the way, worth hammering home(pun..lol), as it wasn't clear in this intro. Woot! Can't wait.
At the end, Holly Conrad was listed, but Xavier Woods played. Scheduling mix-up? Also, "Don't touch that stone, it's concentrated Evil!" But seriously, I'm betting it's Tharizdun.
I have fallen deeply into a torrid affair with D20 but nothing compares. Nothing compares. Nothing compares to Acquisitions Incorporated. Jeremy Crawford is a fantastic DM and belongs on Mount Acquire More with Wheaton, Rothfuss, Holkins, Krahulik and Perkins. Chris Perkins was my first introduction to what a DM is. He is the Gold Standard. He is the North star by which every DM you've ever seen in a DND media content charts their course. Seeing him back in the company is a salve.
Sitting around playing Baldurs Gate 3 and feeling like I could use some background noise, so i decided to play one of the old Acq Inc episodes from back in the day for nostalgia....AND THEN I FIND HOT NEW CONTENT WHAAAAAAAAT
Chris Perkins IS the Acq Inc DM who carried the franchise for over a decade. I'm ecstatic he's back.
CHRIS! CHRIS!! CHRISSSSSS!!!!
shout out to BronzeBottom
We need guest appearances from Scott/Binwin and Wil/ as animated pool of acid, like a gelatinous cube of acid, possessed by the spirit of Al.
I’m so glad he’s back! At the same time, it’s entertaining to see Crawford as one of the players haha
he's back? this wasn't a one time thing?
I had no idea how much I missed Chris Perkins. And that is no knock on Jeremy, who has been perfect in his absence.
I’ve been missing Perkins’ DM style ever since DCA ended. Very excited to have him back-it’s not a weekly show, but I’ll take it!
I miss DCA
@@marleydepew8229 Same. My first D&D live play, kinda shaped how I play and DM, too!
I know everyone loves critical role, but AI is the Og and they hold a place in my heart. Love all you guys do, also if you don’t have the blanket they put out it’s rad.

I wish AI had their own cartoon series.
I've never actually been able to get into critical role, AI has always been fun and funny. This is my jam!
@Wolf Rine Chris D. Will need a team of that but yes
I have to admit, I teared up when Chris stepped on to the stage. He is, and always will be, my DM goals. I am so excited for this to continue the way Lathander intended
Oh also I LOVE that Jeremy is playing Vi as a PC now. He is such a fun player. I'm so stoked for all of this.
PRAISE THE MORNING LORD

So nice having Chris back at the DM chair! Like a warm but extremely dangerous hug…
Hug an owlbear at your own risk.
Chris Perkins and Evelyn together again! Glory to Lathander!!
Me at the beginning of the episode: Well this should be a good one I hope.
Me at 19:17: NO WAY!
I am actually in tears!
YES!
Was in audience. We were going NUTS when Chris walked out.
Great to see Chris Perkins' reappearance, but hard that Jim wasn't there too... Wish he would come back 🙏 Hasn't been the same without him...
Jim will be back for the taped episodes later this year. Check out the Kickstarter currently happening.
Jim is coming back in the series ❤
I was about to go to bed listening to this, but as soon as Perkins walked on stage I decided I wasn't sleeping anytime soon. I enjoyed this so much, makes me wish I had just bought that weekend pass and gone to PAX! Next year for sure. ❤❤❤
Smae, little watch before bed and finish another time.. ended up watching the whole thing.
Its going to sting tomorrow, but soooo worth it! :D
Having Perkins as DM and Crawford as a player brings back some of the best bits of the banter of acq inc
Okay....deep breathe....I absolutely support and Love Chris Perkins!!! So glad to have him back. Mr. Crawford was a different style of DM...So let me add as well.... Thank you Jeremy for your time and creative story telling. Now. Would Scott, Pat, Mike, Jerry and Will please do a one shot?
Very unlikely we'll see Scott again.
@@michaelrupp9288 Will may be difficult with his multiple engagements as well...but a one shot would hit the spot. Good adventures!

Yay! Chris Perkins is back!
I'm always inspired by Chris Perkins as a DM; so glad to see him in this chair again.
Words escape me to describe how it feels to see and hear Chris in the DM chair. I can only pray for a return of DCA
Same here.
I learned recently that the DCA crew still play with Chris, and the story has kept going but they don't stream it any more, which is the biggest punch in the gut i've had for a while. They should release it in book form.
@@kieran10202 I've heard that as well. We may never have the Waffle crew back, but at least their story continues.

Jim will return for Acq. Inc. The Series Season 2.
I love Acq Inc. They're told they've been transported through time to another world for reasons they don't understand and nobody thinks to ask the locals what year it is.
I haven't really been enjoying Acq Inc like I used to. I thought it was the newer players.
I was wrong. It was Chris Perkins. All hail.
Hail Chris Perkins! Also yes the new players are boring and annoying... Imo

Patrick has been my favorite by far. Having to wait so long between adventures has sucked, so now I'm thoroughly invested in vldl dnd.
Jerry is turning into The Penguin year after year
The Penguin if he was inspired by Steve Jobs.
Perkins is the man who make me want to be a DM. Seeing him at the top of the table made me so happy.
Jeremy is an awesome DM. I never expected to like him as much as I did. But Chris Perkins is incomparable, the very best.
I cried when I saw Chris Perkins. Actual tears. I'm so happy.
Im not crying, youre crying! You guys remind me of The Temptations no matter how many of you are there or in which order sweet music is made.

I screamed when Chris Perkins came out !! Bruuuuh welcome back.
Imagine a dark delight. Like a "woohoo" in shaky italics.
Thank you for series 2 for this old geezer been here since.... I don't know, can't remember that long ago ( circa 2008 )
*gasp* chris perkins is back
Does anyone know what the four letter puzzel was for and more importantly what the answer was and meant?
Now that Chris is back, I can finally enjoy Acq Inc again ! I'm sure Jeremy's good but it never felt right for me. Welcome back Christopher Zarathustra !
So glad that I gave this episode a chance! This is literally the first episode that I've watched since JC took over DM duty just after Dragon Heist came out.
It feels so god damn good having Chris Perkins sitting back on his rightful throne as the DM of Acquisitions Incorporated.
Love it! Welcome back Chris.
Jeremy Crawford cosplaying as Vi is something I never knew I needed until I received it! Fantastic job, everyone.
But the seat was not lowered so he / Vi would seem shorter.
I could swear he was dressed as vi before. Then again I have a vivid imagination and with his excellent voice acting it'd be easy for me to have dressed him up in my memory.
I love Chris is back. But the show needs Jim and Viari tbh.
Absolutely. I barely made it through the last couple of episodes, no comparison at all to the AI golden age where everybody was laughing their assess off, especially the crowd. Look how tame they are.
Chris, the DM god, 3 strong veteran players (Jerry, Mike, Pat) and two or three good supporting players. (Xavier, Evelyn, Holly, Kthriss and MORGAIN of course). Even Jeremy as a surprise DM/Player would be great.
I want a Wil cameo at some point.
I like Jeremy Crawford as DM, but I really missed Chris behind the screen. Also, is Jerry afflicted by Wheaton's curse?
The Drow from ipanema.
...Tall and tan and recluse and sneaky
The drow from underdark a' goes walking
And when she flashes, daggers the passersby
Goes "A-a-a-a-Hrgh!!
When she stalks she's like a mamba
When she lurks, she's invisible trauma,
That swings so cool and slays so mental
That when she passes, each one she slashes
Goes "GHAA-RRG-ah.."
Good game! They had some kind of plot you could relate to and understand again :)
Hope „series 2“ will give opportunity for the charakters like Evelyn to have some development again elevating them from their „live show stereotype“ to more relatable full fletched persons like it was in DCA.

Oh Perkins…what a glorious time to return. Some blame our dark timeline on harambe, but hear me out…
I hope this means a new release of "The City Of Greyhawk" in a massive boxed set. I'll buy it.
Perkins! I'm so hype now! I've been waiting so long for this🎉
Chris back first one I'll watch in years.
You all continue to make me smile. As always well done.
I much prefer Chris's DM-ing. I've really missed him at the table as he is probably the biggest influence on how I try to run games
woo hoo welcome back!!!! wonderful ... I miss you guys!
THE RETURN OF PERKINS!
My small conrtibution to the story starts around 1:20:56. Im the one who made the elevator music suggestion.
Love that Chris is back. But really miss the old team.
I am sure these people are great, but I just can't get into it any more.
Only so far as the intro animation and I already love the 'clippy' style animated Ai logo!
Green grass? Nope. GREEN PLAINS!! 😂

Sometimes I forget that, at their heart, a lot of these folks working on D&D are just big nerds who love to play. Seeing Jeremy play feels cathartic. He looks like he's having a blast.
WE'VE MISSED YOU, CHRIS!!
Remember the first episodes, how far we've come, love it.
Wonderful to see everyone on stage.
Welcome back, Chris!
Chris was the DM for all the AI casts I first saw and that got me hooked...with all respect to Jeremy, it's great to see Chris back.
Based on seeing Chris doing meat grinder, this is meat grinder mode Chris
1:34:59 Doesn't Jim's Magic Missile ALWAYS hit?? Especially after the debacle at Thunderspire Peak in season 1 (episode 8, I believe...)??
I fricken love this game. Thanks folks, I have so much fun watching you people. Binwin needs to be re-hired. I will send a request to HR.
What a wonderful intro. WWE superstar!!!! Chris Perkins
Jeremy Crawford is a very good DM, but I am stoked that Chris Perkins is back!!!🙂🙃
Grey Hawk and "mort" should have guessed mordenkainen was here reference. wait for jerry to roll a 1 oh wait Chris is here of course he will as his first roll with Chris back
I'm praying Mike wants to come back, if not as Jim, then as anything. I don't care if he wants to be a tree in the background, it would still be awesome XD
As someone else stated before me. We miss the golden age of Acq Inc.
Double axe to the back!
Mike is coming back as Jim Darkmagic in our (newly funded on Kickstarter) Acq Inc Series 2!
@@pennyarcadeTV Thanks for that update! It is a major selling point by the way, worth hammering home(pun..lol), as it wasn't clear in this intro. Woot! Can't wait.
@@TheGamerGoons I think Binwin died to a beholder lol, but maybe he had a sister, with the most silkiest beard you've ever seen.
Mike tweeted that he'll be at PAX West this year, so we might see him there in addition to the second series.
Crawford: "That's the city of Grey Hawk"
Me: "oh, f%#$ they gonna die!"
The fact they gave Chris a WWE Titan Tron intro I love it lol
NGL i cried a tear of joy, when they brought out Chris on stage.
Great seeing the OG DM Daddy on stage 🎉🎉🎉
With a AqInc “reboot” coming so glad that they had Perkins back for nostalgia and to let Crawford fully embrace and embody Vi.
Mike constantly smoothing his jacket down has slain me
At the end, Holly Conrad was listed, but Xavier Woods played. Scheduling mix-up?
Also, "Don't touch that stone, it's concentrated Evil!" But seriously, I'm betting it's Tharizdun.
Nope, just a missed character replacement on the template that is now unfortunately permanent.
@@pennyarcadeTV Permanency is an 8th level spell, who's high enough over there to cast it?
UA-cam
A chunk of a Black Obelisk I believe. They have the power to warp reality. But their existence is but one of many secrets veiled by The Whispered One.
CHRIS PERKINS!!!!
Strange Starring card 2:50:42. Mistake or is there something I missed.
I missed Chris so so so much! J-Craw is good, but there's no substitute for the OG DM Daddy ^w^
THE CITY OF GREYHAWK LET'S GO
I haven't really watched since Perkins left. Just caught snippets. But where is Mike (Jim)?
I stopped watching when Chris left.
I prayed for Chris to come back.
Thank you Jesus.
PERKINS YOU GENIUS I CANT WAIT TO WATCH THIS!!!!
I have fallen deeply into a torrid affair with D20 but nothing compares.
Nothing compares.
Nothing compares to Acquisitions Incorporated.
Jeremy Crawford is a fantastic DM and belongs on Mount Acquire More with Wheaton, Rothfuss, Holkins, Krahulik and Perkins. Chris Perkins was my first introduction to what a DM is. He is the Gold Standard. He is the North star by which every DM you've ever seen in a DND media content charts their course. Seeing him back in the company is a salve.
Please bring Pax back to Texas. I'm sure if brought to Austin or Houston it would do so much better.
Miss ya Jim darkmagic
Is something wrong with the audio for "s" noises? At first I thought Crawford developed a lisp, but everyone seems to have it.
I got into production for shows like this. Can't wait to see it come together.
Oman first roll 🍥 is a one lol 😂 just like the old times I love it...
Chris Perkins is my favorite DM of all time
Awesome. Hey bud sit down eh . Haha . Wow so great to see more... please never stop.
How many years will it take for them to mic Jerry properly so armor isnt banging for 2.5 hrs of every episode?
Sitting around playing Baldurs Gate 3 and feeling like I could use some background noise, so i decided to play one of the old Acq Inc episodes from back in the day for nostalgia....AND THEN I FIND HOT NEW CONTENT WHAAAAAAAAT
hahaha so funny! Wish I could come to one of these Live!
is he back back or just a guest dm?
