I love listening to Liam talk about his ascension to the nerd God he is. Talking about how he used to kind of scoff at all the costumes Marisha and Matt had and now gush about his own collection makes me swoon.
Liam has really transformed a lot over the years thanks to CR. Back in the early days of the first campaign he was a little... stuffy. Like if he showed up in a suit you wouldn't notice. Now he's playing D&D with his kids using his vast collection of minis, going to renfairs and costuming, and even went to Burning Man.
Sam clearly doesn't understand that ego weapons don't mean that they should represent his ego, but that they should have *their own* ego... Classic noob blacksmith mistake >:P
As a blacksmith this was just hilarious to watch. When Liam said "huge tongs" I was expecting comically oversized tongs but then they were just like... normal tongs. Also when Gil pulled the steel out for Sam and they started flipping out it was adorable.
I remember the first time I saw him standing away from the table it was freaky. I guess I figured since he played all these small characters that he was small too
The actual smithing they filmed early but the chat part Liam said that in was filmed in NOVEMBER-ish. He mentions his Halloween episode costume when they were talking Ren Fair
@@fardareismai4495 Don't worry, it's not THAT bad, I skiped trough some parts of episodes and I didn't deprive myself of my precious hours of sleep.

Not just about banging; it was about _them_ banging. I cannot think of a better ending for the season for this show. Could’ve been worse. Could’ve just cut to black in mid-sent-
I feel like when Mica was on Rooster Teeth, she wasn't appreciated by the fan base in the way that she should have been for the work she did. I like that in the Critical Role space, she's very much appreciated and I'm sure that feels amazing for her. I'm so happy for you, Mica!
"We're gonna know each other until we're dead Sam Riegel! That's like 6 more months at least!" Most topical this series has ever been. This was a great episode. Sad to see that we'll have to wait for more, but looking forward to the next 1.5 episodes in 2024.
Currently it's mid August 2022 & still an issue... maybe by 2024 Covid will be totally done so they can go & do whatever activities without worrying about it.
Will Lamborn, if you are reading this, you’re the MVP for editing all the pictures together! Also on a side note slowing down to look at all the pictures made Sam and Liam sound extremely drunk and if you haven’t done so, go do it it’s hilarious!
Travis: Uses the Yeehaw Game Ranch as an excuse to play video games. Sam and Liam: Use AWNP to spend quality time doing non-work-related fun activities
It’s so ridiculously pure and sweet. It’s my favorite thing about this show. Just two best friends not afraid to say “I love you buddy” and talk feelings (on camera no less) but also to be goofy and try weird things together (settle down, slash fiction writers) for laughs and memories. It’s just an excuse for two busy best friends to hang out, and we love watching it. It’s the friendship everyone is secretly wishes they had. It’s simple and funny and real and addictive to watch because of it. Hope they never stop sharing their friendship with us.
I just want to point out that the whole thing started as group of friends playing pretend in their various living rooms. Ofc all of the spin-offs are just people capitalising their hobbies. It sounds sad but also it's really endearing to watch.
As someone who got involved with Critical Role in campaign 2, finding out the origin of "Don't f*ck me Gil" makes me feel like Isaac Newton having the apple fall on his head
I have to say Gil's chill and safe teaching style was really nice to watch. He joked around with them but also made sure to explain everything and strongly enforce safety and explain why it was safer certain ways. 10/10, good teaching style.
I'd love to have a third season. It could be activities with the cast or Liam and Sam alone to stay safe from Covid. Eating or cooking or fitness challenges would be so fun to watch.
I miss this show. Also, I somehow missed this episode!? Danger! Very inadvisable design choices! Inexperienced hammering! What more could you want!? Also, Liam is just constantly a pure source of delight.
Go to the channel Athlean X and find his videos on exercises for lower back pain. Most don't require any special equipment at all. Devoting 20 minutes every morning to these corrective movements before I start my day has reduced my pain levels to a fraction of what they were. I was a mechanic for 10 years before I got a desk job(engineering), and seemingly the moment I made the career change my body started falling apart. Sedentary lifestyles cause more pain than anything.
I wish this wasn't the last episode of the season! This show brings me so much joy and makes my day brighter whenever there's an upload :) can't wait for season 3 :D
13:17 Oh, poor Sammy hurt his back! :( So sad this season had to be cut short, but I was happy for Liam that he did so well, and now I can put a face to Gil whenever Marisha curses him.
I love the fun stuff they've done but honestly I kinda just want next season to be an hour of them just talking, I love their chemistry and it would give them an honest chance to catch up and be real with each other.
The Disney animated feature film Mulan has already taught everyone how to be a man: be swift as the coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon, with all the strength of a raging fire, mysterious as the dark side of the moon.
I love this series. I really hope there is a season 3, but I understand that it is hard to take time for this. This show taught me that sometimes you just need to take time with the people you love. Thanks guys.
I guess I always assumed Gil was a friend of the teams that had gifted Marisha with a d20 she liked, not that Gil was a Pumat Sol who MADE the die.
He does, on occasion, fuck though.
And i thought she had just named the die gil for some reason lol
I thought she was referring to Gilmore lmao
@@Clarebear0925 Same!
If Gil is Pumat Sol Prime, does that mean Mica, Liam, and Sam are his Simulacra-in-training?
Edit: Fuck! Now I want art of that.
“We need to be really careful, these are really sharp.”
Three seconds later he nearly sliced his arm open waving it around.

I wanna see him and Matt compare mini collections

Liam: I’ll make my knife death-themed!
Me: yeah that tracks
Sam clearly doesn't understand that ego weapons don't mean that they should represent his ego, but that they should have *their own* ego... Classic noob blacksmith mistake >:P
Technically, all knives are death themed
LucianLegacy you’re not wrong 😂
As a blacksmith this was just hilarious to watch. When Liam said "huge tongs" I was expecting comically oversized tongs but then they were just like... normal tongs. Also when Gil pulled the steel out for Sam and they started flipping out it was adorable.
I was laughing so hard. If I had acted like that in my apprenticeship, I would have been done the first time.
I would love to see liam working on blacksmithing more, his excitement at the process and joy at the "sparkles" is wonderful.
Been watching CR for years now and still every time i see how tall Sam is it suprises me again and again😂
That's one constant we can always count on.
I remember the first time I saw him standing away from the table it was freaky. I guess I figured since he played all these small characters that he was small too
Yes! When we met him at C2E2, it was shocking!
I will no longer use ther terms "when I die" instead it shall be "in my ramp up to ghosthood." 😂

Mica: “Would it slice someone?”
Gil: “Yes”

I always thought that "Gil" was just a nickname Marisha had given to her most temperamental die. xD
This makes a lot more sense, haha.
To the beautiful person/persons who edited this: Thank you for putting all those pictures in
I have so thoroughly enjoyed this series. Wish they had kept it going.
I love the cockiness with which Sam goes into every challenge and then immediate panic once he starts.
Me and my dad went to a blacksmith for my last birthday. We made knives out of railroad spikes. It was some of the most fun I've had in forever.
Their friendship is palpable. It makes me feel fuzzy and warm, like a man. I could always listen to their banter
Please film another season! I love the Sam and Liam banter. Its so fun to watch and listen to them.
As someone who got involved with Critical Role in campaign 2, finding out the origin of "Don't f*ck me Gil" makes me feel like Isaac Newton having the apple fall on his head

So glad to finally meet Gil, he was lovely!
Loved this season, also sad it's ending.
Thanks so much Liam and Sam for doing what you do
Damn! The editor of this really, really earned their paycheck this episode. Big ups
I’m just gonna throw it out there, with Sams recent announcement, all work no play needs to come back.
Kind of wish they brought Travis to this something about the voice of Thor swinging a blacksmith Hammer seems interesting to me.
Thought the same thing when Liam mentioned Thor
Plus Grog was instilled with all forging knowledge near the end of campaign one.
I'd love to see you guys make your own dice. Maybe with Wyrmwood whenever season 3 comes around.
When they were all holding swords in that blacksmiths shop I started to get so worried, like, I could easily see them just swinging arou...oh lord
Just like when they gave kiri a shortsword.
@@robertbogan225 "Careful, it's sharp!"
I mean they literally did that in the very 1st episode! :D
@@David_Blake91 Yeah but the episode 1 swords were blunted and dulled. These were like sword swords.
50:40 forward, Liam speaks like a true paladin of the Raven Queen. it's kinda creepy.
Liam is very keyed into his Irishness, and the Celts were delightfully morbid.
"Oh no. I made an S.S Knife."
Good job Sam 😂😂
45:58 now ranks #1 on my list of "Moments I wish I could forget so that I could see it again for the first time.".
this episode was really nice because since Gill is a friend and fan of the show he was clearly having as much fun as them the whole time
I really hope ya'll make another season!! Even if just you two hanging out & talking.
When Sam realises he has an SS knife i died lololol

Liam and Sam still acting surprised at every episode gives me life.
When the slideshow of all their friends ran, summing up so many people and so much love in their lives, I got pretty emotional... Just me?
To the editor: thanks for the fun music under the old weapon footage, very fun, very funky
