Critical Role Crack - Episode 18: Whispers of War 

CritGemHero I got giddy at that *ding* tho. ‘Hell yea, we’re still tracking’em!!’

(also internally screaming at how I missed that the neuralyzer moved over her thumb in post... frigging darn it when will I upload a video without a major mistake)

@@CriticalGeminiHero I don't think that counts as a "major" mistake lol

I didn't see it, and didn't think to see it. Don't worry, most people wouldn't notice details like that!

You're too hard on yourself, this is a delight!

Don't forget that just a few episodes before, they were working with an underground anti-imperialist movement

:(

I KNOW. it got me too.

That’s how long it’s been!

I know! An expert job! We can see the whole thing if we want, but this perfectly gets the jist of it.

The edit pacing for that was superb! 😥SO ABOUT THAT LIBRARY

i got legit chills

That was my favorite moment from this video. Both thrilling and hilarious at the same time. That's some good editing!

Had to watch a second time to realize why Caleb.exe stopped working.

Can we all just take a moment to read the bluescreen? These easter eggs are out of control!

We're all crying

Beck Carmine The king is dead...long live the king.

Well... good news and bad news...

I have some news!

I TOO HAVE NEWS

WHAT

HOLD ON... WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!?!?!?

He WAS for a long time, but I think they have someone else doing it now.

"frumpkin is gathering information, this may take several decades"

Killed his parents too

DCdabest noOoOoOoO

Not sure it was all RP! Liam wasn't expecting that name or that story to come up so soon

It's like in C1 (C1 SPOILERS) when the Briarwoods were mentioned: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-34f3HNk2gTI.html

Kayleigh Nyffeler i was just gonna say! Tal got that same Heroic Bluescreen of Death back then, lol. Liam’s mentioned that slipping in these backstory bits is one of Matt’s fortes.

Guess it was fjoreshadowing

Don't forget Beau being held at gunpoint. I didn't notice it the first couple times, but when I saw it, I couldn't stop laughing. XD

A very last second addition actually, glad to see it was a good call!

#WhoTheFuckIsTracy?

I feel like we need a montage of all the various "AEldritsch Blaessst" moments.

Äeldritch Blaeszst

3 years from now

IKR!

That’s AMAZING!!

It's actually not so much the capture quality, I use a 1080p downloader to get the footage, and it's actually not too shabby but the problem is the zoom ins, 1080 footage on older filming equipment (cant wait for Ep 26 when that sweet sweet HD comes in) was not meant to be zoomed in this far and thus creates such a pixelated image. Anyway no my dissatisfaction usually just comes from me not coming up with ideas and when I get frustrated use the first draft of a joke that popped into my head which I feel like I should be coming up with better stuff like I used to. Zooming in fast won't last forever you know...

@@CriticalGeminiHero It truthfully never occurred to me that your struggle might be with the jokes themselves, as I have yet to find a single one unenjoyable in any way, but maybe I'm just easily entertained. :P I think it should be noted that you're not in the wrong for wanting to do as much as possible to produce good content, but it might also be fair to say that you're seeing problems others-who aren't as close to the project-don't. I don't want to sound like an echo of a lot of others already, I know how annoying "don't beat yourself up" can get if you hear it enough. But try give yourself more credit. I don't know whether other people are in on your process or not, but maybe getting a second opinion for the parts that are holding you up could be useful?

@@disasterjones5798 On point. :)

@@CriticalGeminiHero "Can't wait for Ep 26 when that sweet sweet HD comes in." Me remembering what happens in that episode: 😭😭.

"...So... I would really like to get into that l i b r a r y."

Frumpkin processing has no way to deal PTSD.exe.

You're stuck in this time loop too?

The tower... How apt

@@josh___something indeed for the tower often spells disaster.

the fact that this is the most... impactful moment now in this episode is really weird when you know we learn of Caleb's backstory.

someone get arsequeef on this

@@skelebells man, if someone isn't quite aquatinted with the greater Critter community and has never been acquainted with the glory of @arsequeef, your statement would seem very odd indeed :)

Patrick Wilson hahaha good point sometimes i forget that it’s not just an ordinary regular name

I mean I guess, you can always just watch it later.

I mean, probably not lol. This will always be here for later, but then again so will Talks :)

@@CriticalGeminiHero Omg, thanks for replying! I love your videos!

CritGemHero for new Talks host

Maybe the wrong wording choice for this episode...

Regret is a more somber version of Blooming Villain. It's even more brilliant when you think about what Caleb might've become (re episode 70)

It's actually fascinating, rewatching the whole conversation and her saying she would hate going back there because of not only her past, but what she was told by her tribe to stay AWAY from there because they would kill anyone who gets to near to the place. I suggest rewatching that full scene with context to now, it's pretty funny and makes you wonder even more why Yasha would even tag along that adventure except for the purposes of Ashley being able to play the game when she gets back.

Thank you, it was literally like 30 minutes condensed to two. The original version I had used the entire 3 and a half minutes of the Persona 5 song I used, but I HAD to figure out way to shave it down to the bare essentials and this was the best I could come up with.
