    I love how much Laura is clearly enjoying playing the stupid one of the party (and how much Travis' face is alternating between delight and "WHO ARE YOU")

      As much as I love Grog's stupidity, he frequently plays it up for humor over believably. Laura wielded that sword effortlessly. "I've got a bell. DING DING!"

    Arby was _so_ badass in this! Stood her ground the whole way to 1v1 a powerful wraith amongst a horde of Uruk, and nearly gave him a run for his money! I can just imagine her last stand, angrily smashing her enemy with the body of a betrayer, a force to be reckoned with until the very end. A fighter till the end, never faltering once, even in the face of supernatural domination.
    It seems Arbarùk the Unbreakable was just that, in the end. Unbreakable.

    Kudos to everyone for this one-shot. But the MVP, IMO, is Laura Bailey! Her portrayal of the dimwitted, loyal, impulsive olog-hai was charming and a masterpiece! Because this seemed to be a much more lighhearted game and EVERYONE playing was hilarious, it was nice to see Matt having such a good time! I'll never get tired of hearing Sam's lowered voice (be still my heart) or Travis's higher voices, and it was great to see how well Darin fight in with the gang!

    This is the cutest Travis and Laura interaction I've seen. Throughout most of the VM saga, their characters are sort of friends without a lot of interaction. Plus, being in a long term relationship (irl) just gets monotonous at times. But here, Travis is riding Laura's shoulder, Laura keeps screwing up Travis' plans, they high five and spontaneously synchronize on high rolls and cool RP moments. It's gotta be fun to be married to one of your best friends.

    What a DELIGHTFUL One-Shot! Everyone was just having so much fun. I love everyone just sinking into their roles as stupid orcs/uruks (And semi-smart goblin) just PERFECTLY. Laura was absolutely LEGENDARY with Arby the Unbreakable (Who died unbreakable, and no way she doesn't come back still alive and even more unbreakable), And Matt just having so much fun with the group.
    I also cannot stress enough how much I love Talion's abilities being translated into 5e rules. They just make so much sense. Bonus Action being Wraith Stun and Shadow Strike are just *Chef's kiss* Matt played Talion so accurately to how you'd play trough the game yourself that I can see the whole fight clearly.

    I genuinely loved this one shot. The characters were fun, and funny- nice interactions between the Warchief, and Borg. Epic times. I loved imagining the scenes.

    I know a lot of people are hating on the game because of loot boxes, but I'm still going to support my favorite voice actors by buying it. Just don't buy the loot boxes if you hate that. These guys still need jobs!

      You might want to check out Dodgers (presshearttocontinue/dexbonus) half orc who gives birth to a god of miscarriages baby in Rollplay (itmejp) Westmarches - so good. Or even Itmejp' Crusher in Mirrorshades for a troll character who doesn't speak for half the series but communicates in drawings, his business card and actions.

    Unrelated side note: Liam O'Brien is the one who voices Smeagol in the Middle-earth: Shadow games.
    He sounds so much like Andy Serkis that I just assumed it *was* Andy Serkis doing the voice. I knew he was talented, but holy hell. Recreating another actor's voice is tricky. A lot of people can come really close, but Liam's impression of Gollum/Smeagol is like 1:1. I personally cannot hear the difference _at all._

  • @PhobosDynami
    @PhobosDynami 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    That was a very combat heavy one shot. And still so much comedy with these amazing actors. I wonder if they ever even had a chance against Talion. Like they were at 100% strength, 1v4 how it would have gone down. I'm assuming his dominate skill would turn the tide after getting 1 or 2 on his side just like it happened.

    I was drawing while listening to this, so I wasn't looking at the screen most of the time; I'm so used to hearing Travis speak as Grog that I kept thinking that Darin's character was Travis. Plus, it's so weird to hear him speaking in a goblin's reedy little voice. Hilarious, though.

    Still wiping the shraak from our eyes at that impossibly well-timed missile snare by Eden the "Goodthink"er. May the Forks be with us even getting close to matching how funny this one-shot was when it comes to our own future one-shots. Brilliant as always guys

    • @Lucifronz
      @Lucifronz หลายเดือนก่อน

    Man, I wish there was a lot more of these guys playing together. This was so entertaining to watch. Hell, I'd even guess that - because of the great voice acting especially - this would be awesome to listen over my car stereo like it was a story audiobook lol. I've never had the opportunity to play a table top RPG before. It looks like a lot of fun!
