This is my favorite AI episode ever. Everything is perfect. Easy to follow, the chemistry between Pat and Xavier, the whole group's synergy, Crawford's DMing skills and his handling of the audience, the plot twist at the end. It's comedic, suspenseful, and immersive. I love it.
I would agree. But Omin interrupts in a way to get everyone else to stop talking so all the focus is on him to say, "Thanks." or "Good Job." It's so annoying, he tries way to hard and needs to learn how to chill out.
You know, I wouldn’t mind if Xavier became the permanent fourth wheel of Acq-Inq. The man has serious charisma and the team has been in dire need of a proper tank since Binwin left. I can understand if his travel schedule is too brutal, though.
I agree, turns out, the guy whose career is improv connections with 20-80k people while also wrecking his body is good at connecting with not only the crowd, but his fellow performers.
I believe, because of his game channel, his contract with WWE includes him always getting time to goto major game conventions since he seems to be at all the big ones. He also does a D&D game on his own channel (because one of the wrestlers literally used her old D&D character as her in-ring name) I can see Woods being a staple.
4 years later I just caught something. Jeremy says "This will use your dexterity" for shooting the rope. Xavier adds 12 to his roll, which is his dex score, not his dex bonus or ranged attack bonus. That's hilarious that nobody said anything.
sukoo1 He helped design rules for the 5th edition dnd core books. Also Chris Perkins is a good friend of his and I think helped him get his job at wizards of the coast.
Aquisitions Inc, the few D&D streams that have you ROFL’ing in the first half hour. Also the use of the crowd was A+! Loved the energy for this stream!
Been playing catch up like crazy and I have to admit that this ravnica arc has probably been the best arc yet. Nothing against Perkins or past players in the slightest, he was an amazing DM and they were all captivating in their own ways, but something about this particular group and how they handled this entire module has been such a blast.
What an episode! The amount of tension in that room was palpable! The feel good ending has so much contrast and feel to it! Bobby’s tears and the plot twist with Morgain was perfect! This is an amazing show. And it is a show. A different form of it. It is an amazing game I’m discovering. I’m so grateful I’ve watched everything from the start with the podcast! Thank you all 🙏🏻
@@ellisonjung I think he simply had too much on his table to fit in something like acq inc. The man is insanely busy from what I've seen :p Although, he still does the dice camera action game.
Jeremy should not be compared to the Legend Chris Perkins. Jeremy is an acquired taste; I always fall in awe to his outstanding attention to detail. Jeremy truly is a legend of his own. Kudos!
I agree that he's a fun player and really nice guy, but for the health of the game, I'm not so sure bringing in another strong Alpha personality like that is good. Has anyone else noticed that Gabe has been basically silent for the past 2 or 3 games? He needs time to process and work his way through things, but the game has turned into too much slapstick for him to really apply his type of humor. He really shines when things are a bit quieter.
Xavier is the sort of player you need on your table, especially with more experienced playeres because he breaks the trot and it‘s damn funny 😂 also, i like his style 😄
I hope crawford continues to offer opportunities to be more archtypical. Seeing the barbarian slaughter, the cleric heal, the wizard cleverly cast, the ranger range. and the rogue backstab was nice.
Best D&D live show available. It’s responsible for getting me to return after years away from the game since I bought the Red Box. Thanks PA for years of fantastic entertainment. P.s. bring back BINWIN!
One of the new feats in the Acq Inc handbook will be "Patrick Rothfuss Bullshit" Granting you the ability to do just about anything as long as you can sell it with sufficient skill
@@josukex42 There isn't straight answer to this (atm), but she is probably alive as it's discussed in "Arcana, Part 11 - S3 E11 - Acquisitions Inc: The "C" Team"
@@iversonandwilliams I'm gonna back up. And I'm gonna look straight in your eye... and I'm gonna say "By the name of House Dimir, you are not going anywhere." And then I'm casting a giant constrictor, and I'm sending it straight for you.
This was amazing! Just stumbled on this video, and was completely enthralled and enjoyed every second of it! One big question...Is there more...?!? If so..Where!?? or When?!? If not..Why??? I NEED to find out what happens next!!!!
I'm 31 minutes in I'm seeing "Acquisitions Assemble!" as the title to the next PAX Live AI event intro EDIT: Jim Darkmagic - Tony Stark Omin Dran - Captain America Bobby Z - The Hulk Morgaen - Hawkeye Viari - Black Widow.....(?)
I know it would have been too much to ask, but it would have been awesome to see bobbi's attacks animated. He really made good use of the liberty of telling the story of your character's actions.
Thanks for having me again and to those of you watching, I hope i'm doing alright for ya! - Austin Creed
You were wonderful !!! I hope to see more of you with this group! You and Elm man...right in the feels....
Their best recurring guest, hands down👍👍👍
You're doing great! Hopefully you get to play with Acq Inc some more next time you're in Seattle..
UpUpDownDown your Alice part and then screaming “CHEESE DADDY” was one of my favorite highlights of the video
You did great man! Also, where you dressed like Guile from Street Fighter during the game?
Xavier and Patrick together are magic. They play so well off of each other, I love it.
"How far can you jump?"
"I'd say an infinite amount as long as it's down"
I feel like I've heard this before...

personally i think he a bit much at times but i'm not WWF fan.
Emperor Xander yeah I don‘t like that Damn Panda either
Well, they WERE at PAX East and he WAS there for Wrestlemania, so ....
I believe, because of his game channel, his contract with WWE includes him always getting time to goto major game conventions since he seems to be at all the big ones.
He also does a D&D game on his own channel (because one of the wrestlers literally used her old D&D character as her in-ring name)
I can see Woods being a staple.
"if you behave i'll sign an autograph on the way out."
oooooo, zing. the legend
I wait for these episodes all year... they never fail in their awesomeness
PA first ones to make DnD mainstream... the North remembers
4 years later I just caught something. Jeremy says "This will use your dexterity" for shooting the rope. Xavier adds 12 to his roll, which is his dex score, not his dex bonus or ranged attack bonus. That's hilarious that nobody said anything.
"See, this is what happens when you play with the rules designer..." Happy to see Crawford is as much fun as Perkins. Keep up the good work guys.
Who's is this not Perkins guy anyways
sukoo1 He helped design rules for the 5th edition dnd core books. Also Chris Perkins is a good friend of his and I think helped him get his job at wizards of the coast.

Oh, I can't wait for the recap animation for this episode.
I know right! :D
"I'd do a whole season of these for only $3 million". We need to make this happen.
You know it would work.
Get ur sheilds up crit roll. We are fucking crazy.
That shot at Critical Role in the intro made me genuinely "LOL" hahahaha "I don't care how much they made on Kickstarter."
@No Chance Without Pasta Aeofel also went up a statue's butt in an episode and much was made of the joke so... I guess Acq Inc has even *more* butt.
This was hilarious when I first heard it!!! 😄😅🤣😂 5:45

20:25 Viari: “I know a little about how one swings...”
Me: 🤣
what was that about?
Josh Phillips : Chandelier swinging is Viari’s cliche.
@@bmyers8356 oh true, for some reason my mind went in a toooootaly different direction
It was both jokes guys lol, pat is a mastermind
I saw a comment on the last Pax video of someone begging for Rothfuss and Xavier Woods together, looks like they got their wish
Okay, gotta hand it to Crawford - he knows how to play his villains :P.
Wait WHAT

Critical Shade has been thrown
@@CJVale critical shade has been rolled.
Shots fired!
What if he was talking about Matt Colville and The Chain.
Prime jelly, there
As much as I miss Chris Perkins I don't think they could have found a better replacement :D You're so damn good Jeremy Crawford!
What happened to Chris Perkins?
@@ellisonjung I think he simply had too much on his table to fit in something like acq inc. The man is insanely busy from what I've seen :p Although, he still does the dice camera action game.
Green flame in the first 10 minutes. This is why I love these guys.
"First I was upset, now i like this. Welcome to Acquisitions Incorporated" this has to be put on a T-shirt!!!!
Jim Darkmagic took out an airship with one spell. This can only increase his infamy.
Or at the very least, his ego.
You can't increase infinity.
klemminguk Jim Darkmagic is infamous! In-famous Is more than famous! Lol
The very first dnd stream i've seen and it was entertaining from start to finish
Elm's Leaf + Purple Cosmic Juice = Planeswalker Bobby
Well's there's like a 50/50 chance of a plane-shifting purple worm, but either's fine :P
This was the greatest Aq Inc EVER! Woods needs to be made permanent to the cast!
Shout out to the audience, they were awesome
Jeremy Crawford is one helluva great DM.
I agree, he’s a legend
I love Xavier! Great player
I look forward to a new proper tank. He did a GREAT JOB
1:15:50 11 shovel damage, that really dug into her
Love your guys work keep kicking ass looking forward to the Acq. Inc book and the hilarity that ensues. ^^
Man that Xavier guy is good at working a crowd. He should be a performer of some kind.
I miss Chris Perkins, but this new dm really does a great job
Jeremy is great. His characters have such great personality and feel so real
But Chris would have noticed when Pat crit with the appocalypse dagger.
@@milesbarkhuff2212 That was the biggest thing I noticed in this game. Chris had a special eye for little details like that.
This group has great chemistry with the DM.
I never used to listen to podcasts, but now it gives me something to look forward to while grinding at work, thanks!
The Big Trouble in Little China reference gets me everytime lolz!!
love playing careless whisper during the combat
Patrick and Xavier is the motherfucking dream team!
I appreciate the "Purple stuff" reference Xavier made.
I can't wait until September to finally get the follow-up to this episode
Jeremy should not be compared to the Legend Chris Perkins. Jeremy is an acquired taste; I always fall in awe to his outstanding attention to detail. Jeremy truly is a legend of his own. Kudos!
29:06-29:25
This is what Tymora and Beshaba fighting for control over your dice looks like.
I had so much fun seeing this live. See you guys at PAX East 2020.
Viari crit with the apocalypse dagger...Where's the explosion?
Right? wtf
Maybe it only had one it it? Maybe it was a Dagger of Limited Apocalypses the whole time.
Didn't the dagger explode itself that one time? I thought it's gone and replaced with a regular dagger.
@@ndk773Nah it was untouched
What a time to be dnd fan. So many good streams.
Just started watching: But I love this line-up, looking forward to this...
Update: Not disappointed! And the ending was epic.
I can’t wait for the next pax and see the Viari mankini animation.
Yeah! When is that?
less than two minutes in: Uhm, dose anyone else see seven extra sculls in Omen's X-ray skeleton!?
I had to go back to look. Yes you're right.
Yup! Noticed that right off cause I love the detail in the intro
"GREEN SPear?..." i laughed
I read this as it was said. O that made me laugh
Bless the purple maker and his water, bless his coming and his going.
Crawford impresses me in some way each time I watch him DM. #TheFreakinSage
1:25:20 for all you gif makers out there
Marty Bucholz Ah Ah Ah, you didnt say the magic word.
1:23:37 I would like to commend Jerry for that callback. Splendid.
Xavier is a 💎 in the rough; I hope to see more of him in the future.
I agree that he's a fun player and really nice guy, but for the health of the game, I'm not so sure bringing in another strong Alpha personality like that is good. Has anyone else noticed that Gabe has been basically silent for the past 2 or 3 games? He needs time to process and work his way through things, but the game has turned into too much slapstick for him to really apply his type of humor. He really shines when things are a bit quieter.
Who s Gabe?
@@vazhatavberidze5040 Jim/ Mike. Gabe is his comic persona
I've never watched him dm before but I don't regret any minute
I miss Chris Perkins, but I've got to say Jeremy Crawford does excellent work as a DM too :)
Awesome! I love watching even though I’ve never gotten to play DND!
We need subtitles for audience call-outs though!! Lol
This is my highlight of the month :D Thanks for this great show :D
I. Loved. This. Episode.
So much new canon
Actual chills from that ending!!! Omg. I loveeee these eps!!!
Hopefully you guys can get back together when the virus mess is over and bring Xavier back. He’s the perfect fit for you guys.
WTF are you doing, Môrgæn?!?!?!?!?!?!
Roll for WTF
BETRAYALLLLL
Xavier is the sort of player you need on your table, especially with more experienced playeres because he breaks the trot and it‘s damn funny 😂 also, i like his style 😄
I hope crawford continues to offer opportunities to be more archtypical. Seeing the barbarian slaughter, the cleric heal, the wizard cleverly cast, the ranger range. and the rogue backstab was nice.
Good lord I love Jeremy Crawfords word pictures. What a great DM!
"You're bad at math, bitch." Omen is the coolest DND character EVER!
"This seems fast." And those were Omin Dran's last words...
Can’t say how much I’ve enjoyed your character please do more of this
the juicer and a modcule, white eyes after the finish, dark crystal
I think Bobby Zimeruski is my new favorite character.
Best D&D live show available. It’s responsible for getting me to return after years away from the game since I bought the Red Box. Thanks PA for years of fantastic entertainment. P.s. bring back BINWIN!

the question still remains "Where did Walnut Dankgrass disappear to?"
With Sprocket, or she's still underground with the Wurm she hit the leg of
They bring guest characters in and drop them out as suits who is available and when. There is no point questioning. it. They did the same with Evelyn.
@@billhenry7213 well they actually made excuse/explanation what happen to evelyn and viari. my issue they never brought this time
@@josukex42 There isn't straight answer to this (atm), but she is probably alive as it's discussed in "Arcana, Part 11 - S3 E11 - Acquisitions Inc: The "C" Team"
@@jonash440 I just watch it. I'm giddy
I just randomly thought to myself "I wonder if the PAX East AI video is up yet" and sure enough...
Viari to Oman, "I have to say, this was a really nice party until you showed up."
Yeah, I had to pull up a video of Careless Whisper and play it in the background.
...... Morgan Webb...... How?! Why?!
Don't leave us Morgan. Noooo...
who did she said that to? omin or viari?

"Drop down and get my eagle on"
XD
Jeremy heard that Jabba the Hutt comment and just rolled with it, hahaha.
Before even getting into this that opening was so satisfying. Well done team 😂👏🏼
This was amazing! Just stumbled on this video, and was completely enthralled and enjoyed every second of it! One big question...Is there more...?!? If so..Where!?? or When?!? If not..Why???
I NEED to find out what happens next!!!!
Hopefully you figured it out by now lol
I was so sad when I heard Christ Perkins stopped being the DM for this group but MAN has Jeremy Crawford been great past session. I love his style!
I'm 31 minutes in I'm seeing "Acquisitions Assemble!" as the title to the next PAX Live AI event intro
EDIT:
Jim Darkmagic - Tony Stark
Omin Dran - Captain America
Bobby Z - The Hulk
Morgaen - Hawkeye
Viari - Black Widow.....(?)
I'd say Wil Wheaton is the real hawkeye lmao
@@brambleback As in "completely useless" ? :D
Keep this group!
1:24:25 the events in the next few seconds are great
Need sleep, have so much to do as well, but can't. stop. watching. It'll be a long day..
day of feeling good b/c you got your show in ya
incredible show and incredible DM!!!
Is Xavier dressed as Guile?!
I think so, he even has a weird version of Guile hair going on.
I think he’s just in a tank and camo pants, his hair is just an Afro lol
"Dr. Krum" - nice additional Jabba's Palace easter egg in there!
I started playing careless whisper in another tab when boby started his shit...It makes the scene.
I need a D&D sweater vest.
2:16:42 THAT RANGER IS A BLOODY SPY!!!
"I would not have considered that." Jim would never consider the ramifications of popping AOE spells near allies
"i'd do a whole season of these for only $3 million."
-maybe we should kickstart it..
I know it would have been too much to ask, but it would have been awesome to see bobbi's attacks animated. He really made good use of the liberty of telling the story of your character's actions.
Xavier was fucking EXCEPTIONAL
Bobby Zimureski: Best thing to happen to Acq Inc since the C Team
The C-Team? Setting the bar pretty low there, aren't you?
@@drsch Just because it`s not your kind of thing doesn`t make it a bad show.
woooooo only 10 days until the continuation!!!!!!
Oooohhhhh, I want one of those sweater vests.
Morgan Webb is an 11 in a world of 10’s. Dang girl!
Could not agree more.
But I am also saddened as this could mean the end of her character, and her no longer as a guest player.
