I could feel the continuity from the film-based Lovecraftian body horror in Mountains of Dadness to the poo poo they had going on with the Speed Runner, which was cool.

Scary Terry comparing herself to Anne Frank was hilarious.

'I'm sorry for both me AND Anne Frank' was such a good stupid teen line that made me absolutely lose my poo poo

Flipped on episode 1 and hit play at work just to have something familiar I didn't need to focus too much on.

When I put into the OP, "If you're not sure, try listening up until they meet the Lord of Chaos", I was thinking that that happened near like episode 10, which is roughly the episode count where a lot of actual plays start to pick up steam. No, that happens in like episode 3. It's wild how tight this podcast is.

I just started this too. I knew what was happening with the lord of chaos the moment his height was mentioned but the reveal was still so drat good.

This was one of those episodes where I kept saying "this will be the iconic bit" over and over and then that happened. I'm really happy with season 2 so far. Matt was spicy in this episode.

It got so vicious that I was honestly starting to get worried, but I assume that this crew knows each other well enough that they wouldn't have dreamed of publishing that recording if there was even a hint that they were actually mad at each other. they seem like the type to do checkins

I really like the energy of Matt the Antagonist. Kind of makes me wish that he made a character that works like that.

Maybe it's just because I'm in the middle of watching jojo's bizarre adventure for the first time and Anthony mentioned that it was his inspiration for making the grandkids the protagonists of season 2 but the end of that last episode felt very jojo to me

Also as someone who never played borderlands 2 and didn't know who Anthony Burch was during gamergate, can anyone explain the stinger of this episode to me? i'm guessing it was related to at least one of those things based on matt saying "borderlands"

The natural escalation from Vice Principal Pepperoni Tony to making the popular rude girl his daughter with a pizza-themed name loving slayed me this week.

I love how much Anthony is a "this your bed, you made it, now lie in it you loving clown" kind of DM. He was already 100% for it in season 1, but everybody seems to be more confident in doing stupid poo poo that they're getting locked into, like spending a bunch of cash on the whale just to make jokes when they could have more toys to play with.

yeah but what's up with the keys or whatever they were talking about

also lol is this supposed to be a burn:

quote:

An extensive thread on KiwiFarms details tweets where Burch has appeared openly jealous of his sister's successful career.

that's like half his tweets. the other half is oversharing about his sex life, though in his defense he does say not to follow him so if i read anything i don't want to, that's on me

Borderlands storyline revolves around finding a Vault Key that opens a big, ominous Vault door that contains treasure and the resolution to the main story. The keys are usually non-conventional and involve some bullshit magic powers to get it working.

Anthony worked specifically on Borderlands 2, I think, which had chests in-game with mid-level rarity weapons inside them. These were opened with golden keys which didn't actually drop in-game. You could only get them from pre-ordering, signing up to some service, or grabbing codes from giveaways on the developer's social media. I think people were pretty pissed off about it at the time. Nothing that directly involved Anthony, but I'm guessing that's also part of the joke. I could be completely wrong though!

Anyway, this season has started ridiculously strong. Just near-constant chaos and nonsense.

I completely forgot about that, that just makes the whole dungeon concept even funnier. Anthony has spun together a grand web of garden rakes to kickflip onto at any given time

Elyse Willems is on as a guest this week! She is hilarious, I'm so happy to see this crossover

E: Okay, this episode has by far the funniest joke in the history of the show. A few minutes into conversation with Elyse's character: "Can't you tell what's OBVIOUSLY wrong with me just by looking at my face?!" Matt: "All three guys look at her face for the first time."

Anthony started scolding him, Freddie is already losing his poo poo, Matt immediately apologizes

E2: nevermind, i forgot how unhinged Elyse is. She immediately tops it.

I misinterpreted that joke as they were all too afraid to make eye contact with her

On that note I absolutely loved that Beth was already trying to figure out anagrams for some of the names early on. She knows Anthony's exact brand of bullshit but she missed the answer by this much anyway. Personally I figured it out during the "1, 2, 345..." chanting but I mean that was only like 30 seconds before the PCs figured it out.

For what it’s worth, Anthony gave her a freebie by specifically spelling the name without an H

The show would be better if Elyse became a regular cast member or she did a Jimmy-style long-term stint.
