      @Justus MzB I think this was one of his first raids since Kevdak mentions he always new he was to weak. Also grog mentions how willham is not a fighter meaning everyone he killed before was fighting back. You can tell that grogs loves a fight not just killing. For it to be a fight you need to present a danger to him in return.

      OH please, if this show came on around the time I was a kid? Well first my mom and dad would watch it with me, covering my eyes when the blood happened. Or, if I was eight, mom and dad would watch it, and then I would ask if I could watch it alone and they would most likely say yes after teaching me about swearing and blood. They would trust me enough to censor on my own and known what to skip.

    my headcanon for pike calling grog "buddies" is that when they were still getting to know each other pike said something like "we're like buddies now." and grog, having an intelligence of 6, says "you are my best buddies pike." and this keeps going with pike trying to explain to grog that it's "buddy" and grog not getting it, so eventually it just became their special little nickname.

      From my personal experience, really thoughtful compliments eloquently put, leave the receivers speechless in a kind of happy embarrassment. You can see it in their faces as he spoke how much that all meant to them. It's all true. There's been a lot of beautiful film and TV that I love but the way CR engages with the community brings this special level of joy that you don't get from reading great novels or watching one of your favorite movies. It's a dimension of entertainment and storytelling that I'm not sure has ever really been around before.

    It's *wild* to me that so many people didn't know that Scanlan was based on Eminem! He's talked about it before! It's also crazy to think that I've been watching them play DnD since before Laura and Travis had their baby. I still remember the excitement of the pregnancy reveal!
