      @@origamichik3n Why? I'll tell you...
      A long time ago, the lead researcher had a wife and child. The wife was a fellow researcher, and obsessed with finding the key to reviving people long dead. One fatefull day, she realised she needed a test subject and wanted to use her son. The husband tried to convince her to stop following that line of research, but she refused, and he had to fight her to the death.
      Disgusted by her actions and his shame, he removed his own memories of the whole sordid dealings, and locked them into a crystal, hiding the truth from everyone, including his son.
      But not all traces could be hidden, and when the son started investigating, they found out the memory crystal contained such vivid memories that it had become it's own lifeform, and it not only sought to finish the research, it also intended to replace the husband for betraying his own memories.
      It is that monstrous entity you now face as the boss.

      Remember more than 20 years ago, on a persistent world server of Neverwinter Nights, some top-tier bosses only respawn once every 24 hours in real-time, or per server reset. Cos they had top-tier loot. But it was nearly impossible to win lol. Their stats were way beyond the best possible stats of Max-level players even with the best magic buffs. We could spam 100% healing potions and resurrection, but once the boss set eyes on you, all it took was 3 seconds to die again 😂😂😂.

      Do squats. If you can't do 50 squats in one go, then that's your problem. If you can't do more than about 10 squats in one go, then you are in serious physical trouble (medically speaking) and have major muscle atrophy. Getting up to 20 squats in one go is a decent target for seriously atrophied legs, which will take at least two months to safely get up to. People think muscle building is about the upper body but actually leg, back, and stomach muscles are far more important for general mobility. It's also not safe to work out the upper body if the lower body is in poor shape. You'll find that getting up is easy when your leg muscles have strength in them. You'll also start looking at people who are using walkers and think that a few squats would do them a world of good.

      This should be Bodger's replacement character for NPC D&D with this as his backstory... More in need of therapy than Greg he's just happy to be there not dieing over and over as a raid boss, seeking an end to that bleak existence his ultimate goal in D&D is ending his own miserable existence so when the party completes their quest the raid ends and he is divinely rewarded to live the rest of his days as a humbled blacksmith worthy of his grandfather's hammer.

      I don't think most of that set is even real...
      A lot of the far back walls look like flat images and many parts of the background are blurred, probably to hide the flatness. Some stuff even looks CGI, like the fallen columns. Put some fake prop columns that the actors can interact with and viola, you've been duped into thinking they are at an actual place.
      Also, in some scenes, there is a circular patch of sunlight, presumably from a stained glass dome or window...but it seemingly disappears in some wide shots of the area.
      Most damning is the fact that there is one scene where the four characters are standind in it...but are somehow shrouded in shadow?

    Great vid y'all! Reminds me of my first time taking out the Red Dragon Kurrandrax (dax???) who I'm not sure is even fightable anymore these days. The call captain, a Great Weapons Fighter, wanted me. as the tank, to just kite the adds while DPS focused on the dragon; but I wasn't that fast and the mobs kept ganging up on me near the climax of the fight. I decided to break ranks and draw the dragon's fire instead, much to the chagrin of the DPS who then needed to play add control and the call captain who no longer had the direct attentions of the dragon. As the battle raged on I could tell they were miffed from the chat, but the quick loss of health bar in our friend dragon was undeniable. The GWF seemed distracted as I landed a final blow on it's snoot and finished the dungeon...right before getting booted from the instance. Well played PUG homies...well played. I might pick Raid back up asp. Probably switch to using my PC since I've got some PC upgrades planned and just had to replace my phone since it got glitchy so I got rid of the app after the transfer.

    I love your NPC-perspective content. This is an awesome addition to that, and I'd love to see more things like it. Life as the NPC boss or villain. Life of the NPC King or Queen that the adventurers go to for quests and to establish loyalty with a faction (only to betray them because the perks of being part of a different faction are better). Not just the average NPCs but the ones who are supposed to be powerful individuals or powerful leaders of some kind and the Ups and Downs of their lives.

    Respawning bosses always make me laugh in MMOs.
    I still remember playing WoW when it first came out and the farm owners are giving me a reward for clearing their farms of the evil scarecrow monsters, while watching out the window the whole time of scarecrow monsters tearing a bunch of a players apart. "Yep, yep, sure took care of that for you, mam!"

      I kind of wish the mobs just stopped 'being visible' and 'interactable' once you turned in a quest for that area. Like... you just got to see the starter town being cleaned up bit by bit. Maybe the people who are on that quest are temporarily invisible and can't be interacted with while doing the quest if you've already completed it? And the whole town slowly turns from this ramshackle version of itself to a repaired and functional looking town.

      ​@Jarold Scott Williams.3rd WOW and a few other MMOs actually do this, not on a large scale, but on some main story quests. First time I noticed was on WOTLK when you were fighting at the gate with the dragons and the scourge, then Sylvanas betrays everyone and starts throwing blight every where. I had a higher level buddy trying to run me through the quest so we could run the next dungeon together and soon as we stepped into the area he disappeared. I had to solo the battle sequence and after the cutscene boom we were visible to each other

    I'm really happy that you get to make sponsored videos. It can be seen at first glance that you know how to use the budget you get. Your sponsored videos are the kind of ads I wouldn't skip if they popped up. They are in no way inferior to the regular content. I will say more, the recent epic battle with Orcs and the World of Warships advertisements are actually some of my favourite skits. I think that this video will be added to that list as well
