I bailed on Graduation early on, but I can only imagine how it would've gone if they followed through on Travis' original idea to create a new RPG.

If all this drama leads to Justin hosting a new version of the New Yankee Workshop it'll all have been worth it.

The 7th Guest posted:clearly the former, in the very first Balance episode they go through a jizz cavern Also had Clint "working on his cantrips" (masturbating) right at the start.

Grunch Worldflower posted:This seems like the best direction. I personally think that a lot of what made Balance work was that it was barely a D&D podcast. The rules and systems were part of an improv prompt rather than something they adhered to. While Tres Horny Boys famously forgot about most of their magic items, I can't imagine them getting anything like the Ring of the Gramarrian or any of the other "free pass to gently caress this scene up" items in nesty or Graduation. Divine Wood was possibly Clint's high point in 70 goddamn episodes of that show. I'd never played D&D when I first heard that, and was on my second extended campaign on my second listen, and exclaimed gently caress YEAH! both times, and both felt earned to me.

I've had to rewatch that about a half dozen times. The announcer's pronunciation of "Dog Dick" with the name "Porpo Dorpo" in fancy TV graphics pop up makes me laugh so hard it hurts.

Justin’s realization about how thoroughly they’d beaten Griffin into submission with the Littlest Baby thing was a joy to listen to. This season has been super fun so far.

Sudden Loud Noise posted:I'm not listening to Ethersea, but I know that Griffin is DM'ing, so I assume this is a really good burn about how Justin is being more of a DM than Griffin is? Eh, he's really not. I think it was just a mistake. This is very much Griffin's show so far. Which I believe is a very good thing.

Warbird posted: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. 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.

I gotta say, of the TAZ I've listened to, this is the first time I really feel like all three of the players are playing characters I'm really digging. Zoox's bits with the clam and his emptiness are really working for me in particular. I also appreciate that they've all played enough D&D to make batshit choices that make Griffin scramble to keep up.

Ches Neckbeard posted:Re: Devo because I just caught up in time for tomorrow. Travis writes exhaustive backstories it's what he does. We're just getting main character vibes because of the mission. Justin is winging it with his best setting addition and will find his ground as he goes like Taako. I absolutely adore what Clint has done with Zoox so far. I feel like he's doing a pretty drat good job of playing Zoox's new to the world naiveite.

Does three episodes airing weekly mean three episodes total or three episodes a week? I assume the former but it is oddly phrased.

I fell off of Ethersea right around the Auction (I was enjoying it but couldn’t keep up with it going weekly and lost track) and have been going to sleep at night relistening to Balance. I woke up the other night to find my podcast player cued up a recent Ethersea episode, and I listened just long enough to hear Clint attempt to cast a spell he didn’t know. I love him so much.

Only a few minutes into Steeplechase so far, but this was good: Justin: Please hold the goofs and don’t say anything until I finish unless it’s really good. Travis: How will I know if it’s good unless I say it? Justin: The Travis McElroy Story.

I was lukewarm on the episode when they were going heavy into explaining the mechanics of the game, but once they got into the actual heist and were flying by the seat of their pants, it was super fun.

I’m really digging Steeplechase so far. It’s the boys flying by the seat of their pants and goofing, which is what TAZ is when it’s at its best. I love that I feel like Justin only had the broad strokes planned and is letting with the boys do dictate where stuff goes.
