Finally starting Aethersea and it's so nice to have Adventure Zone back.

The theme song has no right being as good as it is. Genuinely moved by it, outside of the context of this silly underwater adventure. Just a perfect crescendo and beautifully layered tune.

Also Justin's always embraced mid-life-crisis energy. Works for him imo, keep leaning into it precious McElory.

It slaps unbelievably hard. This reminded me that I wanted to rewatch the trailer, so I did and I wonder if these guys are supposed to be the Ether-ified people:

I think they said the trailer was done before they recorded actual episodes, so my assumption is that anything after the Quiet Year setup is not represented there. Like there's clearly 3 PC-ish characters, but they don't really map to the actual PCs.

That Starburst commercial from like 15 years ago where the guy sings the berries and cream song is a meme again.

That's basically zoomer memes.

It's been interesting watching the actor try to monetize the meme. Helps that he's a dancer who tends to do pretty avant garde stuff. Don't expect it to be good, but it should be interesting to check in on in say a month and see how it's going.

So far it's long-form improvised YT vids.

I think it was starbursts. They were doing a creamy starburst or something? I’m like 55% sure on this

Good to see they're sticking with the release schedule. Even the first season drug all to hell when they had the long delays due to kids and whatnot. I'd venture that the second and third runs would have been better received if they kept pumping them out, but I can see where that wouldn't be viable.

Starburst did a whole slew of commercials that were wacky and surreal in the early 2000s. The Berries and Cream one was one of the more memorable because of the jingle and high pitch squeling.

I’m guessing they’re recording big chunks at a time so Griffin has ample time to score and edit the show. The amount of work involved for Griffin would be insane if he had to do it all in a week.

Even like... planning out the sessions for a longer D&D campaign is a ton of work (though maybe easier here since he isn't using any maps). My group burns through the material I have prepped really fast if we play every week.

This, also I'm betting they have other people edit the show now (MBMBaM definitely does). The biggest factor is probably just COVID: they really thought they were gonna be doing live shows again by now, and live shows are the reason they all quit their jobs.

No, Justin, Griffin, and Clint quit their jobs because they could make enough money from touring/books/merch/podcast ads that they didn't need to work their other jobs. That was well before COVID, but then they went and missed out on two years worth of touring income.

Alright folks, place your bets on the over/under for how long this takes to become the drama of the week. We’ll also be having a side pot for whoever gets closest to actual on the time to apology.

It already is on Reddit, someone I talk to about TAZ mentioned there's drama because Rachel (who they have mentioned before in MBMBAM) is never actually given a formal credit
