    For any new viewers, Hi I’m Flando Maltrizian. I do this thing where I post timestamps to help myself and other people navigate these 4-hour long videos. Most people use them to find the place they fell asleep while watching live, to help speed up rewatch/catchup sessions, or to find good jokes and dramatic stuff. You can click on the blue timestamp numbers on the side, and the video will automatically go to that time and start playing. Good to be back for C3, see y’all in the comments.
    Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?

The jam has exactly 8 strawberries on the slice, and the peanut butter came from a beautiful farm in Nebraska.

      It's Marisha (Laudna). Her accent is described as Midatlantic by the Captions, which was sort of a fake stage accent that wasn't natural but rich people and actors, especially in the south would use it to seem fancy. Laudna kinda has a voodoo bayou vibe too.

      In one game of the oxventurers (on OutsideXBox and OutsideXtra), they ended up fighting possessed furniture made from an evil tree in a forest they had previously visited. I thought at the time, "Love this, and there is no way Critical Role would ever do this" Oh, how little 2019 Brent did know....thought then again, there was the honey heist, and the nightmare before Critmas....but also, I didn't know about those then, so....have I Riegeled this reply yet?

    I don't play or even know much about D&D, but after seeing multiple funny clips and YT shorts from their sessions, I thought I'd check it out. This was the first time ever see a proper D&D game, and it was so fun I watched the entire 4 hours in one sitting lol. I don't know if most D&D games are like this, or if it's just because they're all good actors and can really get in character and immerse us viewers with them, but I could really picture every "scene" in my head and it almost felt like watching an epic adventure movie or reading a good fantasy novel. I also love that they don't take themselves too seriously, there are so many funny moments, it's great. Ashley's character is probably my favourite, I can't quite tell if she's being sarcastic and chaotic, or if she's playing a kind of sweet and innocent character that genuinely means what she says, but it's adorable and funny and absolutely love it.

But Taliesin might've been preparing that character for a while and really built on it, and wanted to respect the character.

      The same was true for C2 back in the day. Every campaign has different vibes, and a lot of people don't like change. Of course it's perfectly okay to have different favorites or prefer older content, but the very predictable, recurring complaints of "oh noes CR used to be good and now it's shit" is a pretty immature take.
      They're creative storytellers, of course they're going to evolve and try new things. I'd be disappointed if they didn't! And I try to hold on that attitude even when any one particular offering might not land exactly perfectly for ME, personally.

    The funniest part about Sam's "Good Smells" joke is
    1.) He is a robot with no concept of the innuedo he made regarding his comrades name
    2.) Knowing Sam he is talking about a cat

      Cats can smell amazing, in the right circumstances. When I first adopted my girl as a kitten, she definitely had a "baby" smell to her. Especially her fat little tummy. :3 One of the best smells.
