The man called M posted:Is there any audiobooks that make you feel uneasy? For example, the way the guy who does the Wheel of Time series makes me think of an older man wearing a robe saying, “Hey, baby cakes. Wanna hear about the Wheel of Time?” I once listened to a series of audio books which had a bit of a gross out humor, while usually being quite enjoyable. At one point I was walking the street wile litening to it and some dialogue suddenly took a hard swerve into something pornographic and I felt a bit weird listening to that surrounded by people.

Kilometers Davis posted:Post the series!!! Fine. It's "Critical Failures" by Robert Bevan and it's about a bunch of Mississippi assholes who end up transported in a not-DnD campaign. I actually really enjoyed that series, because it's actually quite clever with it's stupid bullshit, but I'd be hesitant to suggest it to anyone, due to some gross out humor and a few less than wholesome characters. I did like them Messi g around and breaking role play mechanics. The audio books were actually quite impressive. In one story line the douchey hard character goes on a music tour and the narrator actually sings the parody songs in the correct tune with guitar support. The scene in question was during the 9th book, so I should have known what I'm in for, but well no that was gross. It was basically about a guy convincing a stranger to have a match who can make a bigger cumstain beause that's the competition among his family. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Sep 10, 2022 |

jeeves posted:DCC is great (even though my brain always just equates those letters with Dungeon Crawl Classics) and the books definitely get better with each passing one. Book 5 is amazing, and I’ve heard 6 is even better— even if I am waiting for the audiobook before I dive into it. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 11:00 on Aug 28, 2023 |

cant cook creole bream posted:This is probably my next audiobook series to go through. Jeff Hayes, Annie Ellicott and the other guys from Soundbooth Theater are really good at what they do And they certainly go the extra mile, when it comes to effects and stuff. Also, I looked at the narrators for DCC book 6 and apparently they also got Travis Baldree and Patrick Warburton for that one. I went through all of Dungeon Crawler Carl in a month. That is one good audio book series!

henpod posted:Nothing to add other than the readings are fantastic, and the books are so much fun. It's really impressive to see a video of Jeff Hayes speaking. He's able to change his voice like that on the fly. I assumed that he would need quite a few takes, but it seems like, unless he occasionally breaks from laughter, he can nail it on a first read. It's always nice to see people who ended in their perfect profession.

pandy fackler posted:Listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl and is it just me or does Jeff Hayes as Carl sound exactly like H. Jon Benjamin?? Nah absolutely not. He's (sort of intentionally) channelling Patrick Warburton.

"Actually finished" is kind of a hard bar, since those seem to be going on forever. But if you enjoyed the ridiculousness in Carl's adventure, I'd suggest the "This trilogy is broken." quadrillogy. Or since it was recently completed, the Unsouled series.

Koryk posted:Yeah, after Cradle I've been listening to some pretty terrible stuff just because it was narrated by Travis Baldree. Apparently he has his own series that he's written, anyone know if it's any good? Yeah. It's not exactly high stakes, but it's quite cozy.

The stuff he does may not be as highbrow, but I absolutely love Jeff Hays doing narrations. That guy is insane. https://www.tiktok.com/@mattdinniman/video/7253325710570409259

I listened to some of Kaiju Battlefield Surgeon around December. It wasn't really for me. At some point someone describes a horrific ritual to the main character. He's just stunned in silence before exclaiming what kind of sick gently caress would come up with something like that. And yeah, I agree.
