There are 2 things I do when I see Darin De Paul is in a video:
1. I like it
2. That's it
3. Profit
You don't even watch it? That's sad.
Nathan, did you watch the video? You'd get the joke if you did.
There's two things i do in comment chains like these.
I comment
and that's it.
For those who don't get it, at the beginning when they introduced their characters, Darin introduced his character like that. ("2 things you have to know about me, my name is Mouzo the Chosen, and THAT'S IT.")
Travis - *does character intro*
Sam - *takes notts*
EXACTLY
I was not expecting that voice from Darin De Paul. Damn he's good.
Yeah I was shocked when I found out he voices Reinhardt from Overwatch
Dude... he's a genius improv as well, you gotta see him on HyperRPG! the dude is a fucking legend.
two things you need to know about Darin De Paul
1. He rocks
2. That's It
It's funny because it's true!
Yea darin at default is awesome.
"The Orc Four... The Four Orcs... The Forcs... The Forcs. THE FORCS!!! THE FOOOOORCS!!!" "... No." That was hilarious.
Darin de Paul is the only person I know that can play DnD in full three piece suit comfortably
Dude's snappy af
He's always dressed very respectfully. I dig it.
with looking like that he sounds scarier then any orc in the game
Honestly, if you get a really nice suit they can be quite comfortable. Always thought dressing up nice was synonymous with being uncomfortable until my wife convinced me to actually get a suit tailored to me. I absolutely love getting the chance to wear it.
Dress to impress
Holy shit, I gotta comment on De Paul's fucking RANGE, man. Like, he's this sorta kinda mousy, kindly old man voice normally and then just like, when he goes into character it's like he EXPLODES into this character who is like three times the size. He's a force of nature, man. Props.
Yeah I forgot he was the voice actor for reinhardt in overwatch
I think his role as emperor Valkorion in Star Wars The Old Republic is even better than Reinhardt
He did a fantastic job as Valkorion. One of my favorite voices and characters in the old republic series.
Same with travis being able to go from deep deep grog to super high version
Ikr? He himself always tells how his wife says that he looks like an accountant but sounds like a monster. He's just godlike here.
"WHO'S YOUR COMMANDER?"
"WE FOLLOW BAFTA-oh wait, that's you."
With over 300 hours of Shadow of War gameplay, I am happy to say that a majority of my army consist of Darin, Travis, and Matt.
I regret nothing.
Sick, 300? I have a time limit lol
4 Grogs play some d&d
Martin Rumbold yup, scanlon is just doing Grog, even all his gestures
Martin Rumbold 3 grogs and a groblin lol
Hahahaha exactly what i thought
3 Grogs and a Goblin walk into a bar... 😂
Who’s the brains?
There are two things Darin DePal needs to do: he needs to be a regular on Crit Role and that's it.
nah hes boring and bland.
How can you say that about such a magnificent ham? Guy's a national treasure.
Think he's trolling us
I like him as a guest! He makes great bit characters. Due to his amazing range I would keep him making many different guest characters!
yep mee You're joking right? He like made the best jokes.
I am absolutely stunned by the goblin voice coming from Travis. After hearing 113 episodes of him doing Grog this was...unexpected
*in the distance Macaroni Samsonite cackles delightedly*
I love how excited Matt is to be DM'ing a LotR-based game.
I gotta say man, his nerd cred went up even more when he admitted something that's gone WAY out of style. He played a MUD. That's some vintage 1990 internet nostalgia right there.
AND he got the role of the Witch King. How fucking awesome is that
Yea - I mentioned that to my best bud. Him and I used to play a perma-death Darksun-setting MUD right up until just a few years ago xD
It'd be cool to see one of these for The One Ring.
Hey, hey, hey man... MUDs are still in... In fact, the one he referenced is The Two Towers MUD (t2tmud.org), which I and other people do still play. There are also quite a few others out there with different themes. I watch Critical Role and happened to stumble on this video actually when I was researching some LotR/D&D ideas for T2T. @@quiotu
There's two reasons I like Mozu the Chosen.
He's a great guy.
And that's it.
theres 2 reasons i like the two reasons comments
its funny
thats it
There are two things you should do. Watch this video, and that's it.
That got old pretty fast...
This has 666 likes lucifer confirmed
Cross you're no fun.
@@crosstar make a perception check
@@crosstar It's a funny gimic/quark of the character, chill.
How does Laura make even a troll adorable?
Offbeatworlds because laura
ologs are already adorable
ThanksYouEel I agree, I feel bad when people shame them
Because Laura is adorable.
*Laura Bailey**** (Harp music)
Holy wow, the voice work here is even more mind blowing than usual!
MonarchsFactory Love Laura's voice. She makes it so fun.
Travis is genius too XD didn't think he could do shrimpy voices
The older gentleman is absolutely spectacular
NeRethil Wolfsson
Check out "Deadlands...MDA Charity"
Hey, it's you! I love your stuff!
Every time they say Grog, I was expecting Travis to say, "yes?"
In the Shadow of Mordor game, when you enter Uruk's Hollow to poison the grog barrels, you can hear Uruks singing a song about grog. I swear, it sounds like a choir of Grog Strongjaws.
@@fredreindljr1996 late to the game, but i recently encountered an Olog who brews grog and proceeds to say grog like 7 times in two sentences.. so much grog...lol
Critical Role and Darin DePaul need to "put a ring on it." Darin's RP talent is godlike.
Yep I hope next campaign he's just here forever. Although he's almost too good he might upstage everybody.
he's an awesome voice actor and a cool guy, i love him. but he is boring and repeatable sometimes, i prefer him as a guest
I love Critical Role but can you imagine other themed Campaigns: Witcher, Red Dead, Bioshock, Star Wars!? I want it!!!!!
RJ Garcia III there already is a Witcher game (only released in Polish), you can use Deadlands as a basis for Red Dead, I've seen a Bioshock game using the storyteller rules and there's already a fair few Star Wars RPG.
I think the CR folks doing a Star Wars one-shot would be kinda epic.
The Witcher would be amazing! Sooooo much potential.
warhammer
My heart wishes they would do a Star Wars 5e campaign (I am DMing one!) but my mind knows that it will never happen and Disney would sue if it did D=
Every once in a while you get so wrapped up in CR that you forget these guys are big time pros. Then they start doing stuff like this
and you realize why they are the names to have in the VO world.
There’s 2 things you need to know about this one-shot:
1. It’s fucking glorious
...
That’s it
I really wish Laura plays more of the dumb brute characters, she is hilarious there.
Mancubus!!!
@@prestonhawkins5782 MANCUBUUUUUS
*mancubuuuuuuuuuuus!!*
i mean there are the dark towns you can access goodbye... mancubus
You should watch the charity stream they did back in the day on Geek and Sundry where they played the Deadlands Reloaded system (the one they used for Undeadwood) the first time.
Critical Role? And Tolkien? My brain...? How has such a blessed thing occurred?
Just imagine their rp in sindarin :D
Thank WB Games I guess.
The grace of the Valar of course

Darin De Paul is an incredible role player
I still can't believe Darin de Paul has only been doing voice work for like 7 years now. He sounds like he's been doing it forever. Respect.
It's so rare to see travis with a high pitch character
He also did a pretty good job of imitating Darin's natural voice. It's amazing.
Check out macaroni Samsonite
He gets ridiculous in Adventures of the Darrington Brigade.
Little did we know
I was tabbed out and had to check back several times to see "wow that voice came out of WHO?" I KNOW they are all professional voice actors but sometimes I'm just blown away by the talent you know?
I could listen to them improv as orcs all day and never cease to be entertained
What the hell is this? I wasn’t prepared. My soul must adjust.
One does not simply walk into Mordor... 😜
ROFL!! I wasn't ready for that comment. Well done. :)
Oh wow, you really went there...
Geek & Sundry I would tell you to leave but it's your channel
How awesome must it be for Matt to be able to say he plays the Witch King of Angmar has to be ultimate nerd goal.
Laura playing a big dumb brute especially a troll is such a perfect mirror of travis's role as grog stonejaw. Its epic gold and I found myself paying far more attention to her character then the others, though everyone did a good job. I can hear travis's brain going "Thats my wife!" every time Arby speaks lol.
jesus i feel like travis and scanlan have swapped voices
You mean Sam right?
Samlan
scmamlan
Even more so in Season 2 with Nott's voice... I agree, it was pretty disorienting.
shows you just how good they both are.. all of these guys really
Darin Dr Paul look dapper as always
i WISH i had his voice!
"Pulled his 'ed off. Solved the problem right away." I know I'm gonna love this
I am continually amazed by the voices manifesting from the small, dapper Darin De Paul.
5' 9" might not be huge like Travis or even 6' Sam, but I don't know if I'd call him "small ". Dapper definitely though.
@@darkamora5123 I am Danish. The average Danish man is 181.38cm (5 feet 11.40 inches) tall. The average Danish woman is 167.21cm (5 feet 5.83 inches) tall.
There’s 2 things you need to know about this one-shot. It’s amazing. AND THATS IT!
I liked this comment, AND THAT'S IT!
The way I see it, there are two things you should do with this video:
1.) Hit the like button.
...and that's it.
AND YOU WON'T EVEN WATCH IT? YOU MONSTER!
was not expecting Travis to do the nasally high voice while Sam does the chesty deep voice!!
I knew they were all talented but I'd never heard that kind of voice from Travis and Sam. Damn. Well played boys.
Best moment: *bug flies out of hands* “THE EAGLES ARE COMING” 😂😂😂
"You got four in one round."
"Hey guys, they are susseptible to torches...."
The Fourks better be a DLC clan that we can either dominate or fight later in the game, c'mon Monolith; make it happen.
In the latest game informer they talk about upcoming DLC, maybe Fourks could be 4 new DLC Overlords or something
Alas, it never came to be
I wanna see Darin De Paul on more often man, that guy's a bloody genius.
Now going to get Shadow Of War, To mind control Grog Orc's.... GROG ARMY
Wolfe lja all ready preorder but this makes soo much better
Will you be getting Scanlan orcs to be their partners?
I really want to like this game but lootboxes and micro transactions in a single player game? :S
Not buying the game is not how you show you don't like tat. Buy the game but not the micro transactions.
Besides, they have shown so many interesting Uruks and Ologs that you might encounter, I'm so excited for Shadow of War that I'm practically bouncing off the walls....and I haven't felt that way about a game for a very long time, like back when I was still going to High School (which was about 11 years ago!).
I mean, just look at "the Tower", "Tasty", "the Bard" etc. The Tower in particular looked and sounded amazing! I loved the lines they showed from him, where first he said this: "Before we do battle, know this: I will endure more pain than you can possibly fathom. The Tower's armor will see to that." And then, after getting recruited (when most other recruits say something like "I serve you, Bright Lord!"), he simply says: "You stand before....the Tower."
Darin Depaul: The dude everyone wants for a Grandpa.
There's two things you need to know about this comment section.
1)Everyone is using this joke
2)That's it!
Now this is how you advertise your game on Critical Role. Now all I want to do is play Shadow of War!
More developers should sponsor an entire one shot like this to get people to buy their game lol.
No kidding! I’m not even a big gamer and I want to play this game.
The more I watch them play different characters the more excited I become for the next season of Critical Roll. At the same time I'm reminded that we're reaching the finally of the current campaigne T.T
White Neko Knight
#FuckVecna
Finale*
I barely passed the introductions and I have tears streaming down my face...xD
Darin de Paul is a national treasure
50:02 omg their reactions to a floating piece of lint is both adorable and hysterical I’m dying 😂😂😂
I will be disappointed if I don't come across an orc called "Grog strongjaw" when i eventually get this game.......
Mizerable Git if I did, I'd make him the overlord of the entire army
ALL WOULD FEAR THE MIGHTY WARCHIEF GROG!
Michael Sheedy you have to set him up against the warlord Kevdak
There was a Grog character in Mass Effect Andromeda
literally after i watched this i played the game and the first captain i made overlord was named grog strong arm not exactly it but close enough to make me laugh
2 things you need to do right now.. Like the video, and that's it.
Travis has officially been playing Grog too long, his math has suffered...
Laura plays the most adorable doofus in the history of dnd
Been around Travis too long
There are two things you need to know about Darin's catchphrase:
1. it's unique and it's my favorite now.
and 2. That's it.
God damn, Darin De Paul's voice work on this is just perfect
Sam's Character: Still better than the American medical system.
Yep
Ryan P At least HE has free health care.
As an American (Californian to be exact) I can confirm that Olog spit, dirty bandages & old wine is indeed better then our medical system.
Raina P I know it’s a mess but to be honest socialized health care isn’t really free it’s taxpayer funded and not worth it there’s countries like Mexico and Cuba that offer free healthcare but the countries are a mess and little to no food and jobs can be found socialism isn’t really sunshine and rainbows were actually pretty advanced and health insurance is a thing so there’s that we’re not bad place to love as many people believe.
@@adrianjuarez8079 163 countries have universal healthcare, and of them you can list two that are "bad" and ever there you are wrong Cuba is ranked 39th in the world and Mexico is ranked 61st. Any issues these countries might have has nothing to do with universal healthcare.
I love this! What a great way to advertise for Shadow of War. The best of Critical Role with an delightful performance from Darin De Paul.
There are two things I do when Darin De Paul is in a campaign - laugh my ass off, and that's it!
The way Sam said "caragor" is like straight a voice line from the game. Oh, right, it's because he voiced those orcs.
"THIS IS A DEMOCRACY IN WHICH I LEAD. LETS GO UP THE STAIRS LIKE *HE* SAID!"
holy shit i love him
Well this is awesome
I am so going to use that "two things you need to know" line :)
Are we sure Mr. De Paul can't join the CR main crew? Are we really really sure? It would be so freaking awesome and the new campaign it's gonna be starting sooner or later...
Him and Joe, but I think Matt said he doesn't want to go higher than what it is right now, plus it leaves room for special guests. I'd just love to see them on it a lot. Like... a lot, a lot.
He could take Marisha's place!
because after Orion left the community needed someone else to badger and rules lawyer and Marisha just happened to be bad at reading what her spells do
Rules lawyering is not fun for anyone.
Johnson is already crafting and figuring out her new character. I rather hope it isn't the only healer lol.
that makes her RPing a playing beautiful for me, I hate perfection and perfectionists to some degree and for me failling is the most important part of learning, not saying Marisha gets a bit too real(as in being bad) sometimes but the hate is just unnesesery bitching at this point
"filthy shrak eating shrak " uruk number 27
The moment I realised the crazy monster hearing the voice of Sauron was actually his paladin xD
oh man xD
But is he a paladin or a cleric? 'Cause I swear Matt said "war cleric" at some point. Or is he a multiclass?
wow, I do not remember this at all.
D&D in middle earth with my favorite group of players AND Darin De Paul??? Today is a good day
See this in my feed this morning was like finding $20 on the sidewalk. Gift from the gods much appreciated.
I love how the cast essentially played the opposite of their characters in the game here.
Big strong uruk--->spindly little goblin archer
Gigantic dumb olog-hai--->cunning manipulative mage
Elegant elven assassin------>big brutish olog defender
I forgot who/what role Sam played in the game, but outside of Matt (who played a godlike being both in the game and here) everyon played as the polar opposite of their in-game versions and I love it.
I listened to all of this before looking at it and I had NO IDEA that was Sam Riegel's voice. Damn good job.
Paulas facial expressions as stupid Olog are awesome, seeing Travis being a goblin makes me laugh almost as much he does, Sam being Sawboney and aaalmost smart and Darren just Owning his role is just.. inspiration guys. Thank you. Can’t wait to get to playing.
Seriously. Thank you so much.
Darin DePaul said in a panel of his that he played D&D with either Mercer's Mother or Grandmother so it's interesting seeing him carry on the playing through the family line
23:00 "With my medical knowledge, I aim for the one place that hurts the most... the wang."
Jesus when i wasn't watching i can't believe sam can make that voice XD
Love this combo of players. They need their own long running series.
57:48 - 58:57 Love Mozuu the Chosen's upgraded name and am so impressed by Darin coming up with Skak being the interpretor of "his" eyes, as Skak carves his helmet! Just in general, Darin really kept up with Sam, Travis, and Laura, who happen to be my favorite players. So well done to him! And I loved Sam's lower voice and general awesomeness, Laura's adorable troll voice, and Travis's high-pitched goblin!
I love the level of nerd that is revealed by watching all the Critical Role episodes. Sure you have the basic of reading tolkein, but then you start hearing them playing MUDs. It's awesome.
Laura Bailey is adorableness incarnate. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard.
You guys rock!
Aww, Laura is an uruk! So adorable 😍 Fan art, please, somebody!
Emily A. Saaen *lore sense is tingling* umm.... she’s a Olog-Hai the superior breed of The trolls. They are similar to the concept of Uruk being breed to be better than orcs.
I’m sorry it’s just the fanboy inside of me couldn’t allow it
2wton - thanks for the explanation! I did not pllay the games set in the universe, and am consuming books in audio-format - compounded with not being a native English speaker, totally missed the finer points :) Even better - Laura Bailey *insert harp* is an adorable superior troll, and I need this fan art even more now 😂😂😂
2wton thanks for explaining this! I googled it, she is big! Lol
I was thinking she's more like that good natured kid with the learning disability that just needs to find a niche job she'd be happy in... but has the misfortune of being a huge walking siege weapon.
McCree and Reinhardt got tired of killing monica so they moved on to Mordor to learn the Uruks the Overwatch hospitality.
Sirius Black 😂
Noah Yager Darin De Paul
@Noah Yager The guy in the suit is the voice of Reinhardt and ofc Matt is McCree
that was really cool and great voice acting of course
all the performances are top notch. i like the commitment to the roles and especially laura's foolishness as her character. "oh, the drink's just been disrespected." and puts on the face of *seems legit.
Second time Travis has played a rogue in a one-shot...foreshadowing for next campaign?
One of the best D&D sessions I have ever observed. This whole cast is amazingly awesome. It doesn't get any better than this folks!!
I love everything about this. Everyone performed so well in character, but Travis. Man. Yet again, you get so well into character, with the voice and the mind set. Every person at the table, really. So enjoyable.
Yup Darin De Paul is now on my list of awesome actors. He's so much fun!
I want these four serving under Az Laar as an elite strike force. Hilarity and awesome shall ensue!
Oh my god! I wasn't planning to buy this game, but if they make them into the game I will need to!
It's so fun to see all of these guys playing out of their normal character. Gro... Traivs as a cowardly goblin is just great.
Gotta say i'm loving Travis's sniveling goblin voice. :)
Travis's voice here is EVERYTHING. ah-MAZING
Omg Im 7 minutes in, and this is the greatest thing ever. Sam and Darin's voices are incredible. These folks are amazing.
I love huge Laura protecting tiny Travis so so much.
Watching in 2020 and Laura with a large maul/mace is still the most adorable thing ever XD
Damn, Matt
Tolkien would be proud
This video was so beautiful, couldn't stop laughing and being amazed by all of their voices
I've put so many hours into Shadow of War and not only am I excited to find out that Critical Role played a part in it, but listening to them talk and converse, I could imagine actual uruks from the game talking.
I literally dont care about paid promotions and all of that as long as i can get thematically awesome oneshots with my favorite voice actors to dump a lot of hours of my life into :D
If only people felt this way about the Wendy’s One Shot
Darin De Paul has ridiculously impressive range, holy shit
