This is one of the greatest comedy bits of all time.
English was once as easy to read as Hindi or Japanese. Problem is we haven't updated our spelling in 600 years. You have to keep updating your spelling every once in a while to keep it consistent with your spoken language. Which is very hard to do in such a pluricentric language as English. Arabic has the same problem. So does Tibetan too actually
This is great 😂 Young people probably don't remember how stupid and horrible Bush was.
The man, the myth, the legend... ZABOO!

Polytheistic gods are usually decked out to the 9’s and party animals. Love them for that.
Sure Felicia's costume is in the Smithsonian, but I have Vince's costume as the only bidder on an ebay fundraiser auction. Not even kidding.
pics or it didn't happen!
Great to see a mini Guild reunion. You're never more than a stones throw away from good stuff on the Internet. 😀
always fun to jam with a guildie
Your doing great sandeep
I love you both!
We <3 Kyle
Yeah, New Hampshire is the Alabama of New England, but without the black people and music.
Hahahahaha
What a jagoff
Why does their sons being the same age make me cry 😭😭😭
Because it’s so freakin cute
Totally not a white supremist, just pointing out...blue eyes are a dominant trait...your brown babies of the future are gonna have our eyes at least😂
I think you rang me up at 711 the other day
kind of a nice throwback to this 90s form of racism. made me feel kinda nostalgic. Now I feel like watching saved by the bell and eating some totinos pizza rolls... which I can get at 711! Thanks!
Jimmy Dore was really handsome then. He got old, happens to all of us.
That is how you pronounce my name. 😀
Such a great episode and so happy to see the tik tok captions are gone. I work in technology and was so happy to hear Sandeep make the point that the thing to do is not look at technology as the enemy or ignore it but how you can leverage it to make your skills more valuable. That said any model that is stealing someone elses work is despicable and i do not support that use of technology.
Can I take my boon in a travel cup please? 😂
1:14 😂
"Channel your inner Brennan Lee Mulligan" is crazy!!! 🤣❤😂 Where's that second season green light though?? 😎 Or do we gotta wait another 5 years? 🤪
workin on it!!
Omar, I need to see them notes now...idk about the others but I need to see them - for inspiration!
Had there been within the heavens and earth (multiple) gods besides God, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is the God, Lord of the Throne, above what they ascribe (unto Him). Holy Quran 21:22
Just wanted to thank you for another amazing round of watching this classic. Hope to see more.
aahhh you're so welcome! looking to find ways to revive the franchise... in this economy? one can only hope
Idk why people hate on Miller, every time he appears or speaks in a movie the movie goes up 1 point in my book
Desiquest is incredible! Thank you for keeping it available, as I've only just discovered it. Thank you for amazing storytelling, tying culture into TTRPG, and making it truly your own. I hope Desiquest comes back...after all, there is still more to do!
missed that it happened last weekend. I'm glad your goals got hit, and exceeded
Us too! Enjoy the video! It gets really good around the 4th hour...
I love this cast! I'm definitely watching soon!
Hey guys, i love you but you started putting the tik tok captions up through the whole video so it cant be turned off and it makes the video unwatchable for me. Not sure how other people feel. I would just utilize the KZread cc so it can be enabled and disabled. Otherwise wish you all the best.
Thanks for the feedback! We were experimenting with different styles. So in the future we'll take them off if it's not what you guys want
Rules notes: 13:30 - A nat 20 automatically hits on an attack roll, regardless of AC and modifiers. (And nat 1 automatically misses.) This is separate from it being a crit: even if a grave cleric or adamantine armor or something prevents it from being a crit, it still automatically hits because of the nat 20. And a champion fighter that crits on a 19 doesn't make that an automatic hit. (Some tables house-rule that nat 20s and/or nat 1s are special on ability checks and sometimes saves. In 5e rules-as-written, it's only attack rolls.) --- Hellish Rebuke is a reaction spell. Legendary actions are things a "boss" enemy can do between turns, not reactions. But I guess you could homebrew a monster that can use up one of its legendary actions per round on Hellish Rebuke instead of spending a reaction normally, or something like that. Or as the only way it can cast Hellish Rebuke. And yes, wildfire spirits are fire elementals, immune to fire :) Scorching Ray damage is 2d6 per ray. I'm not sure if the +7 Anjali added was her spell attack modifier or what. Fortunately even the 12 she rolled on 2d6 was enough to kill the target so it didn't matter. (I think they're only level 5. At level 6, she'd get an extra 1d8 to add to the first fire damage she does on a turn while her wildfire spirit is out.) --- RAW, Divine Smite only works on *melee* weapon attacks. But ranger/paladin is a fun multi-class that's probably not OP if you don't take feats like Elven Accuracy for more crit smites. --- This channel divinity confirms my guess that Ash is a Life-domain cleric. The healing can't bring people above half HP, but it's quite a lot of total healing and great when multiple people are low. He can do it once (per short rest)? So they're level 5. Level 6 gives you 2 uses per rest. And it's not a spell, so yes it combos great with Spiritual Weapon. And nice, 1d8 + Wis (+5) = 13 is max damage. --- 40:45 - Bless should still be active on Auntie. It would only end on her if Ash lost concentration on it, e.g. if *he* got knocked unconscious. If she'd fully died and been revivified, there might be some question, I'd have to google that. But just going unconscious? She wasn't concentrating on bless (or anything else; she was raging), the caster was. And Bless itself doesn't say anything about special conditions for ending early on a target (unlike e.g. invisibility.) RAW rage ends when you're knocked unconscious; Jasmine allowing her to continue a frenzied rage instead of having to spend a bonus action to spend a new one (and having a level of exhaustion from the first one ending) was a generous way to support Luis's narrative RP about what his healing arrow did. Losing Bless instead is a smaller penalty but partly balances out that rule-of-cool bonus. --- 48:40 - Legendary resistances are totally separate from legendary actions. Most creatures that have one have both, usually 3 legendary actions per round, and 3 / day legendary resists. Spending a legendary resistance doesn't cost anything in the action economy, it just turns a failure into a success on one roll of a saving throw. (Just like making a saving throw in the first place doesn't even cost an action, despite narratively ducking and covering from an incoming fireball for example.) That's RAW; Jasmine may be intentionally homebrewing it if she doesn't like the (lack of) narrative explanation for how a creature would know it's spending a resistance. Or some mechanical balance reason. --- 1:04:00 - RAW, drinking a potion costs a full action, or to administer one to someone else. (Not a free object-interaction). A common houserule is that you can drink one yourself as a bonus action, especially at larger tables: when it takes a long time to get back to your turn, spending your whole turn drinking a potion sucks. --- Hellish Rebuke is a reaction to taking damage; normally you have to survive the damage to be able to take the reaction to cast the spell. But narratively, this isn't an ordinary mortal; maybe the body exploded in fire as it ran out of HP, or the spirit flailed around some. Inflict Wounds is a touch spell (big risk for the life cleric to run up and cast it!) Ash should get a dex save to take half, but maybe they didn't bother because either way he's unconscious but not insta-killed by going to negative max HP. ---- Very nice wrap-up to the campaign! Jasmine did a nice job of putting a finger on the scales (metaphorically) to make combat feel risky and dangerous, but still have the heroes survive. e.g. a generous ruling or having an NPC do some healing when some unlucky rolls had the party in trouble.
Wish yall had more episodes out this was so good
This is so great! I know someone just like that!!
