Kind of a fun feeling seeing the Crit Role cast in a Geek & Sundry video again 😄
Came to write exact same thing
As someone who's only at C1E26 I'm already dreaming of CR reuniting and doing another campaign!
@@xander9460 well you are in luck once you have finnished campaign 1 you have 2 whole campaigns awaiting you on critical role's own channel the fun only gets better
@@DaniSpectrum Well... I suppose the cast will be done with campaign 3 by the time this person manages to catch up.
Matt: Multiple dead Guards.... jeah checks out.
"Matt Mercer, Several Dead Guards", best way to credit his role in all of this 😂
G&S doing this interview is like watching a babysitter check in with a kid they used to sit whos all grown up and made it big since then.
I like "The Multiverse of Matt-ness."
It's like a SNL cast member coming back to host the show after they've been gone for a few years and turned into a superstar.
Just watched the first 3 episodes of season 2. Loving the shit out of it so far.
I would watch the SHIT out of a Matt Mercer only episode!
if Clone Wars could do it with Dee Bradly Baker then they can do it with Matt
Imagine if the first episode of season 4 was a clipshow starring Matt in a random tavern as a bard recounting the past 3 seasons!
Oh god yes I want that.
I mean technically Matt Mercer is canon in DnD from the tavern scene they placed him in. So it could happen
"Being Matt Mercer" in the spirit of Being John Malkovich, that's the vibe you're looking for! I'm here for that.
Mercer Mercer.
Mercer Mercer Mercer.
Oh man, once they brought up Cumberbatch I immediately started picturing what his interpretation of the Whispered One might be like if they ever successfully cast him for that. Definitely nice to see Dan Casey again. Haven't seen him since his days playing Dupont Dupont on CelebriD&D.
Ashley Johnson honestly gets more beautiful every time someone points a camera at her.
Ooooh I hope her hubby don't see yer comment, he got a CR 20
@@helcome2well507 That's OK, I am sure he would agree. 😄
Thank you for making a show worth watching
Seriously, everybody talks about how much money their kickstarter raised, but hardly anybody talks about how well they spent it.
@@elbruces Which is exactly why they were able to raise the ridiculous amount of money. Critical Role is one of the VERY few companies people truly trust.
@@Mediados
Ehhh... there's a history of Kickstarters who didn't follow through on what was given to them. And to be honest, the CR crew immediately saw how huge of a burden had been placed on them. But they had the careful consideration (and a few industry connections) to spend the windfall wisely and well.
@@elbruces Of course there is, but over the years CR has built a reputation of just being good people who will act responsibly with money. The fact that they treated this massive pile of money as a burden only proves that they deserve this trust.
@@Mediados
Yes, that was exactly the point I was trying to make: everyone talks about how much money they raised, but not enough people talk about how well they spent it.
Matt Mercer "Multiple Dead Guards" accurate lmfao
My group and I are counting the Mercers we see. We rewatched season 1 a day before release and saw even more of him. So excited for the soundtracks, jokes and backstorie stuff! I get so giddy ever time I think about this show xD
Matt is the hipster cops
They better follow through with that “Orphan Matt” promise
Dan Casey is a god damned treasure.
To me this show is a love letter to D&D its what playing the game is like I love the detail in the world matt made.
Every scene with Scanlan is a masterpiece
I've watched a bunch of these interviews... This one was my favorite. 🙂
I knew they were getting the battle chasers devs to make a game for them!
My Percy Funko pop just arrived today and I think Amazon is watching over me! Time to binge with Vax, Trinket, Pike, and Percy! I hope I can find the other pops someday soon!
season 2 is amazing right from the first moments of episode one! keep up this pace and this will last for a long time what fun!
*Checks channel name*
Well this certainly came full circle
THANK YOU for all you do so very very much ❤️
ITS SO GOOD! Cant wait for the next 3 episodes!!
Man, that "Matt in a tavern retelling the tale" would be glorious, kinda like the Ant-Man segments where Luis is recounting events voicing the other actors :)
Matt Mercer: multiple dead guards. They Nailed it with that humor
I'm so happy for season 2!
MULTIPLE DEAD GUARDS!!! That got me...
I'd love an episode of a Minstrel Matt regaling an audience with an encounter he witnessed of Vox Machina. Where everyone but VM is voiced by Matt.
LOL...the cast comes back to their original home for a visit...and goes back to the butt stuff! 😂💯😁
"Matt Mercer- Multiple Dead Guards" sent me. lmao.
Watched the first 3 episodes and really enjoyed them..
Matt Mercer: "Multiple Dead Guards"
Oooh, we will actually get to see Grog with his Beard comin up
Yes!
Waiting for Grog with CravenEdge lol
They better include the outhouse conversation
Just watched em all
Just gonna say here that no matter what happens w everything, your real fans will have y'alls back no matter what. Keep up the badassery. Love you all
Seeing GnS and CR together again, even for a moment, I can't help but pontificate, lol-
I have to wonder if the absolutely broad willingness at GnS to experiment with all sorts of new approaches to entertainment and shows that birthed CR (IMHO more responsible for actual new players than Stranger Things that helped normalize it, but didn't help light fires of curiosity nearly so much!), today, set against the current Hasbroification of DnD at a level so extreme their own employees that aren't execs and legal have been revolting might... be indications of the dawn of the next era? Of growth in the best direction? I can dream.
Seeing the actual allies at WoTC who aren't "Witches of the Cost" harmed, sucks. I hope when we know more about who really took risks, the community rewards that loyalty. Those risking their jobs to leak to press and other allies, I mean. But they're all adults showing what they value, both the awful evil and the neutral or chaotic good of the lot. Thanks to them we know not only the NeOGL details to the letter, but even deeper context into the real thinking behind it in spite of some of the more sloppy damage control. Well hell, we know the thinking. They're even still giving us confirmation to prove what we know.
Other than the allies who might be under the boot of contracts for who knows how long, I do hope this teaches an unforgettable lesson to corporations that it ain't the 80s anymore. The kind that college courses could be created around.
Generations are coming of age who weren't raised with a choice of only a few, mostly very formula, similar choices of entertainment, even in video games.
Entire generations have learned morals not by pure theory and being frightened of theoretical eternal torment, but by living as virtual protagonists who could be rewarded for doing humane things, punished for inhumanity, even given a pure sandbox to scratch evil itches and maybe get it out of their system and evolve away from it (although picking every chest and jumping on beds in ESO will always amuse me, lol). In my experience, I've seen that create generations who still don't know it all, but aren't afraid of an egalitarian approach to allowing ppl to learn in their own ways and then do business and recreate however they want. Ya, it's created some ugly, but as a longtime Cybersecurity doink, I see growth and evolution to be hopeful about.
As far as I see it for DnD as WoTC produce it, the next few months are life and death decisions for the brand. If the execs don't get it, DnD will become almost an epithet, and we'll inevitably learn who some heroes were on the inside... Because I predict a mass resignation insofar as employees are able in their career to take the risk. If not under non-compete non disparagement clauses, I imagine those taking that risk only being rewarded. Hell, an earlier, even smaller version of today's ttrpg/general celebration of geekdom raised almost 12 million for a cartoon I thought would only be one season when I helped the Kickstarter. They just, last I checked, gave over $135k to a Kickstarter goal of $85k to help Richard Hough (edit, said Mike, a totally different guy, sorry!) the UA-cam gaming attorney (check him out if you haven't but enjoy law, give if you can afford it) and no "stretch goals" or rewards are offered or expected because one of us who goes the extra mile had a stroke and needs help.
The monkey's paw is at work 😉.
There is so much written between the lines right now with WoTC and CR, while GnS was apparently a completely amicable separation that occured with no sense that anyone had to watch what they said. CR has wanted personal creative control but never shied away from signal boosting allies (Travis, CEO was REALLY personally hooking up reacters etc with early full seasons because he gets the value of alliances that respect autonomy and so on, imo).
Makes me wonder if, in spite of Felicia Day's understandable burnout, there might be a reorganisation and resurgence of GnS.
GnS tried a lot I just wasn't into. But I respected and appreciated the attempts, and a platform that gave such broad license to "imaginators" to create in all sorts of inventive ways. It's weakness IMHO was a lack of anything unifying outside nerd and geekdom in the most general terms. But done right, with things third party creators have learned about online community interaction over the years, it could be a powerhouse homebase cooperative type of thing. Felicia and Will really were visionaries. Being tuned into things like PAX and Acquisitions Inc. as fans first, professionals second is what brought us critical role, almost directly.
There is a pretty straight line from Dr. Horrible and The Guild to where we are today. I hope looking to those ppl involved that far back as the egalitarian, crowd sourced producer of content might lead to something great.
One can dream, stream... And drone on about it apparently. Sheesh self, turn down the geeking, 😂
Great cameo in Vasselheim, three more times.
Time to go and watch it for the 2nd time. I feel for you CR. 💖👌
YES! I was hoping I wasn’t the online who spotted Garrison and Red Monika from Battle Chasers!
Season 19? I'm here for it
I need at least 8 seasons…too good, I’m not even into D&D but I’m getting into the whole lore & stuff now lol. So much back story
I'm here for Orphan Matt!! *waits in line*
I agree! They need to talk to Amazon and have Matt do a dub for all the episodes and play all the NPCs and call it the Matt cut!
Just for nostalgia sake and for those transitioning from the Livestream to the show
I for one would be more than happy to help throw another couple million at them to do that
🙄🙄🙄🙄
Cannot wait!!!!!
Mayb as an audiobook...?
Back to where it all began
Whenever I hear Thordak speak, I still only hear Lance as Zavala 😂😂
SAME!
I hear Silens and his smug ass
@@diode_wow that too, though as an avid destiny player its what im more used to 😂
Yeah when I heard Thordak speak, I was like, "I know that voice... who IS that?!" Then I moved my mouse to pop up the "Active Cast List" on the left side of the screen and was like, "You gotta be kiddin' me!"
@@ForeverDegenerate he better say “indeed” at least one
critical role presents Vox Machina multiverse of Mattness
Multiverse of Mattness, PLEASE DO THIS
Am so onboard for Orphan Matt 😆
When I first heard Lance Reddick speak as a dragon, I half expected him to yell "Bosch!"
My brain immediately went to "Whether we like it or not, we've entered into a war with the Chroma Conclave"
What a homecoming
Épilogues of Matt Mercer NPCs would be awesome!!
First 3 episodes of season 2 rock
I would love a cameo from Dupont Dupont, dwarven rogue xD
#OrphanMatt is perfect!
I have slight correction on the "you did a phenomenal job with this adult animation" part by the interviewer.
They freaking blew it out of the park! Esp S2(e10)
Just an anomaly good series brought to visual life in another degree. If this keeps up for another few seasons, I will put this show somewhere nearby GoT S1-4.
Even if only in my own ranking.
Ty all very very much for this.
Dan Casey is great
Right on, it's always nice to see CR and Geek & Sundry do a thing. And I freaking love all the changes and alterations and enhancements and cuts and improvements to the story, because they all work and they all fit. And we know it's all coming from the right executives (i.e. Critical Role themselves).
More Scanlan songs?
Yes please!!
It's rough hearing them gush over Lance Reddick. RIP.
Not to mention I hope they were able to get all of Thordax lines recorded for next season as well so his amazing performance can be immortalized.
Cumberbatch as the baddie from Briarwoods book. They asked him to come hang out?
It's Dupont Dupont!
Engagement for the engagement god!
with no disrespect, this was more organic and enjoyable than the watch along. much love to cast and crew
Now I need a matt NPC to do the recap for season 3
If i wanted to watch the critical roll season 1 episodes that matches vox machina season 1 what numbers would that be? and for season 2?
It’s not really all in order, but I think the Briarwoods arc that makes up the first season of the show is primarily featured in episodes 27-36 of the stream.
The Chroma Conclave might be all the way from 36-84?
It’s a much bigger arc, with follow ups & offshoots that span a few episodes. The show will need more than just the 2nd season to finish it
You can watch it all here:
ua-cam.com/play/PL1tiwbzkOjQz7D0l_eLJGAISVtcL7oRu_.html
Briarwood arc starts at episode 24 The Feast, season 1 story ends at 35 Denouement, 36 Winter's Crest in Whitestone was part of it too but cut from the cartoon. The ending scene of 12 with Uriels speech is from the end of episode 39 Omens where the Conclave arc starts.
Welp, Life Support still seems to be holding. Will check back soon.
Matt is a marvel watcher in the show.
Maybe an CR album release?
Grogs one shot being a side story or bit
Matt and troy doing all the voices
So wait.. is G&S making content again?
Is Chrom Fire Emblem Awakening
HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE
Is critical role still going
i know its the same actor but i couldnt stop hearing zavala rather than a new character.
Cumberbatch for Vecna?
Could really meld Fantasy genres and have the Matt characters be like the Weasleys from Harry Potter. All brothers in one tavern talking about their screwed up run ins Vox Machina. Jump to Vox Machina having a fight just outside the tavern with some big monster and it smashes a boulder or something into said tavern. Let it sorta amount to all the crap that Matt gets for his character names that get twisted, or ball busting before the episode starts to get him to screw up, etc.
The real question here is: What is Travis trying to hide in the background?
Matt Mercer is the hipster cops.
i thought Geek n Sundry was dead 💀
Yo, I get that but I'm real for happy for this and looking towards more. I thought the channel went bunk myself
I thought this site was dead?
Holy shit, Geek and Sundry still exists? I thought they ate dirt after trying to over-monetise their community
#opendnd
Kash even looks like matt
I wonder if they'll be able to address the OGL. Ever. Stupid contracts.
Sprinkle in season 1? Really?
How about CR find a legal get around in their NDAs with WotC to comment on the OGL issue. There are gamers and Critters worried CR will sell out TTRPGing to WotC. They really need to get ahead of this....they are behind the 8 ball now.
episodes so far season 2 felt super rushed :(
did Travis start fighting MMA??? dudes got 2 black eyes... Get some sleep brother
Still wish they had a backbone and denounced Wizards of the Coast for OGL
I don't think lack of backbone has anything to do with it. I think it has more to do with they can't legally do that without throwing their entire company into the trash. For now.
@@ForeverDegenerate Because they actively agreed to shill for WoTC.
By all means, don't leave out their *active* participation in allying with WoTC.
@@crazyinsane500 What are you on about? They haven't shilled at all. And they aren't actively participating in anything outside of their own stuff. Actually that's not true. They ACTIVELY stated they support BUT WoTC. They ACTIVELY stated there was a reason they started their own Publishing Company a few years ago.
They did.
They have a contract. That contract explicitly says as long as they’re being funded by WotC they have to keep their mouths shut. You break a contract, they revoke all permissions AND fine you. Why is this hard to understand?
Im sure the eps will get better as the season rolls on but right now s1 is way better so far
Im also sure well get at least several seasons to wrap up c1 and hopefully some c2 action but id rather some c3 eps instead
The thing is, the only fair way there is to compare seasons is if you compare S1E1 to S2E1, season 2 wins. If you compare S1E1-2 to S2E1-2, season 2 wins. If you compare S1E1-3 to S2E1-3, season 2 wins. So far, season 1 is *not* "way better."
Vex is even dumber and vax is even weaker this season 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Ur mom.
Ahhh. You’re a hate watcher. Have you considered trying to find something you like watching?
@@ariaflame-auIt’s hard for someone to like anything when they don’t like themselves.
Dude needs to get out more
Lance was a horrible choice for thordak….maybe if u pitched his voice way tf down but as of now he doesnt do shit for me
I like him, so my vote offsets yours.
Well, when you raise a shitload of money for your project you can choose whoever works for you.
Your opinion is lame and you should feel lame because of it
