I think that I would enjoy the live show episodes of Critical Role a whole lot more if they'd just mute the fucking crowd noise a bit. It's way too overpowering. *weary sigh*
On the bright side, at least this one was a one-shot. It's the events of the glossed over two week period from the final episode of campaign 1. Oh well, eleven minutes in (when I stopped to make this post)... only four and a half hours to go... (not adjusted for 1.5x speed and the inevitable skipping past the 15-20 minute break, so probably more like "just" three hours or whatever).
(EDIT) But then I ended up actually watching at least half of the break, due to the weird commercials. o_O (/EDIT)
(EDIT 2) Okay... this was obviously recorded at some point after the "Mighty Nein" campaign started. I know this not just because of the timestamp of when the video was uploaded (and from also looking it up on the wiki to see when the live show happened)...
...but also because every single fucking god damned time someone rolled a 9, the audience would shriek "NEIN!" -_-;; So, I suppose I have that to look forward to during the second campaign. Fucking blargh.
But then, I'd noticed that they'd kind of started doing that even toward the end of the first campaign, at least a time or two, and from what I gather, that's part of the reason they named their group in the second campaign "the Mighty Nein" in the first place. Meh. (/EDIT 2)
(EDIT 3) Well, aside from all the carking crowd noise, this was actually one of the better episodes of Critical Role, I have to say.
Only two more one-shots to go before I finally move on to Campaign 2. I was also planning to watch The Adventures of the Darrington Brigade, but A) it is yet another fucking live show, and B) aside from involving Taryon and being set in Exandria, it has nothing to do with either campaign, as far as I can tell, so I think I'll just bump it to the end with all the other unrelated one-shots that I may or may not ever actually get around to watching.
Oh, and I watched Grog's One-Shot a couple of days ago, too. It's the first episode of Critical Role that I've seen that wasn't DMed by Matt Mercer. It's also one of the funniest ones. The gist is that Travis Willingham is DMing a game of Dungeons and Dragons, as played by Liam O'Brien, Laura Bailey, Sam Riegel, and Taliesin Jaffe, in which Grog Strongjaw is DMing a game of "Bunions and Flagons," as played by Vax'ildan, Vex'ahlia, Scanlan Shorthalt, and Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III.
