    What is incredible about your videos is how it’s basically you just riffing off the game, but you have enough creativity an charisma to fill up hours an hours of time with near constant humor. What’s even more amazing, I was visiting my parents a few weeks ago and happened to pull up one of your videos and my famously humorless mom who has no interest in video games was completely charmed by you. I’m so happy I found your videos!

    MVP Lydia with that bucket. And Irilith showing up out of nowhere!!
    Nobody ever really expected a Jarl to actually climb those 7000.. or 700 rather some steps, if not with a horse then the Dragonborn is a nice alternative ride. As always, the music is on point. I always forget between your videos, but the ff9ost pairs with both your comedy and Skyrim so well. Thanks for the entertainment.
    If you're taking suggestions, dragging Astrid to Aventus or to Cicero while he's stuck on the road might be funny. Or maybe she deserves a face to face with the Emperor on his boat. Another would be to drag Falk to Wolfskull cave to deal with the big problem he deems a nonthreat.. or maybe Isran to that vampiric Skooma den practically right under his nose. Cheers!

You were looking for gems, but there have been many videos that have talked about James and his crazy pranks so I wouldn't have been surprised if he did wind up in the dragon. Keep up the great work and thank you for the laughter you have given me.

      @@TheLaughingSimon So one thing I noticed is that if you go through a doorway while an NPC is still in the middle of delivering a line, they will come through the doorway with you in order to finish the line. Then go back through the door. I wonder if you could exploit this to make Balgruuf exit of his own accord. Drag him to the door of Dragonsreach, talk to him and immediately exit the conversation, then exit Dragonsreach. I'm wondering if he'll follow you through, enabling you to drag him to the city gates, and repeat the process to get him out of the city.
      I'd test it myself but I'm on the toilet at work and I will probably forget about this completely in about 5 minutes.
