Acquisitions Inc. Ark of the Mad Mage D&D Podcast Season 8 - Episode 2

[@CarpeMetus]

At some point in the future a demon will try and take Jim darkmagic's or binwins soul. Then Omin will pull out a contract and say, "sorry I've owned their souls for ages." .

[@m.penguin571]

This actually happens

[@shaunttorosian8498]

@@m.penguin571 And it is hilarious

[@ilfurlano1228]

Are you Kwisatz Haderach??

[@RandomCakeyNathan]

Omin - "As our first hire, we're really excited to finally bring somebody into the fold" Jim - "He's not our first-" Omin - "Ssssssssssh"

[@madisonshay]

Zero days since the last intern death. and that's the kind of ethic Aquisitions inc is about. Fresh starts

[@TheBType]

So many fresh starts. After they get done cleaning up the remains of course.

[@AP0LL0edc]

"It has been zero days since our last intern death." LOL

[@TheBType]

So clearly Omin's not a very devoted servant of the goddess of good fortune because as far as I can recall he gets THE WORST rolls....

[@snowpdx]

I feel like Jerry playing Omin talking contracts is straight up theft of Robert Khoo's everyday reality

[@EmmaBonn96]

Wait, Jim and Binwin don't have power of attorney, but JEFF DOES!

[@menkio]

+Bakorafanboy13 jeff was also killed. this was planned since day one.

[@christianmcnally2582]

+Bakorafanboy13 God Damnit Jeff!!!!!!!

8:00 Omin Logic

[@vreeshim]

Interesting that you chose a background pic from the Dragon Age 2 concept art, but it works for the beginning of podcast! (Side note, Go Dragon Age! lol)

[@GrimReaper2000000]

I think it's more that Wil is busy doing things to make every session, so Aeofel is mostly interchangeable. I think they said all five of them will be playing at PAX this year.

[@osmith9212]

No disrespect to Will or his fans but I find the table far more agreeable this season. He seemed like an excellent roleplayer, but his obnoxious outbursts and carrying on were cringeworthy.

[@SpiderCMB]

I'm not a fan of Wil Wheaton at all. On the occasions he would make a funny joke, he would milk it until it wasn't funny anymore. His loud outbursts, grandstanding and attention seeking really dragged the adventures down.

[@applesnotoranges]

+Oliver Park Leagues better than Will

[@TheConorhimself]

+Oliver Park If I didn't love Mike, Jerry, and Scott so much, I don't think I'd have made it through. Catchphrases are not jokes! It also kinda seemed like he (probably unintentionally) was trying to make the game about himself and his PC, where Pat is genuinely really funny and actually contributes to the group. I hope he's permanent. He WAS just promoted to sub-employee

[@scholarlydragon6074]

+Oliver Park I completely agree, Wil was so obnoxious to listen to sometimes.

[@Artrysa]

Eh, he likes to be the center of attention but i liked him.

[@oooSKYLIGHTooo]

It's up dude. Search You Tube for PAX PRIME 2013 Day 2 Acquisitions Incorporated Part 1

[@zynthio]

On my third pass through AI, it's amazing how obvious it is how much better AI is without wheaton. He was so loud and chaotic and obnoxious on the episodes that he's in and then immediately its super calm and relaxed and even more funny.

[@CarpeMetus]

DNRs in d&d... Omg that's awesome.

[@scottrose1]

Does anyone know when will the PAX 2013 live show be posted?

[@Awenky]

How come episode 1 and 2 dont match up at all? Wtf happened after omin was hit by the cart?

[@VitalBlursDnD]

+Awenky Eh?.....they match up. Pajero the Gnome comes running in. Tells the rest of the party that Omin was run over and that they took his body to the temple. That's where Omin wakes up. I guess the reason why there are no details about what happened immediately after the incident is because Omin was unconscious and the rest of the party were inside.

[@TheCamolegs]

Awesome

[@Sevorith]

"It's okay guys, I speak raven. HAAAAA!! CAKAWWWW!!" Totally lost my shit.

[@oooSKYLIGHTooo]

Damn, did Aeofel leave?

[@NonRegnumDei1934]

I'm assuming he asked to be hired officially and was declined.

[@r618y]

we also had to remove his liver why ? 'cause the coach was a ..... delivery

[@beartube93]

TIL AI is actually a Pimp.

[@Beardedgumby]

I wish Jim would cast light on someone's shoes

[@Winterheart786]

Aeofel is no longer part of Acquisitions Inc........ 9:54 its official....so Sad.

[@milesmatheson1142]

"So great!" Fixed it.

[@pawekarczmarzyk2706]

Im probably late to the party, but... what happened to Will W.? I smell some bad blood in the air...

[@VitalBlursDnD]

From Wil himself, back in 2013.... "I made this decision back in January, because I was going to be at Dragon*Con this year, which conflicts with PAX. However, as the year has gone on, I've really struggled with my depression and anxiety, mostly because I've traveled to promote Tabletop. So after talking with my doctor and my wife, I further decided to just stay home entirely after the beginning of August, and spend the rest of the year writing and creating instead of traveling and exhausting myself."

[@valaraucarnage]

He had issues with Scott. He mentions it on his Tumblr blog.

[@GriffinGamingStudios]

But.. But.. "What ho!"

[@AfricanTheWhite123]

Whatever happened to Aeofel Elhromane?

[@WirlWind494]

Will was sick or something around this time.

[@TheKendo1999]

WirlWind Nope. They gave him the boot. They may bring him back, though,

[@PaulGaither]

Wil gives his excuse... er... reason in his blog titled "Voices escape singing sad sad songs" In short, he neds a break from all the conventions. that was in Aug. 2013, so who knows what the future will hold?

[@RUdigitized]

It will be tough to get him back. From what I hear Robert Khoo is brutal to people who drop out of PAX.

[@PuzzleBox83]

Paul Gaither He has his own show on Syfy, is a reoccurring character on Big Bang Theory, has table top, and makes a lot more appearances than just conventions. No body at his celebrity status (not saying he is that high up there, but high enough) could schedule around this. People that actually work at Wizards of the Coast sometimes don't make it or decide to get stand ins for regular D&D games that are broadcast. This is not unusual.

[@carcasses5131]

HAGH! KA KAWW!

[@milesmatheson1142]

I feel like this was a massive lost opportunity for some Omin role play. I was looking forward to learning about his new Goddess, the temple and religion surrounding it, etc. But they just glossed right over it, and skipped straight to kicking in the dungeon door.

[@Artrysa]

Someone tried to make the secret staircase under the fountain as uninteresting as possible? Yeah goodluck with that mate.

[@oooSKYLIGHTooo]

Yeah I saw the 2013 PAX this morning :D ...Don't get me wrong Viari is cool, but few people can provide Wil's wild overacting and personality that makes Aeofel so awesome! ;)

[@milesmatheson1142]

Let me fix this for you- "that's what make him an insufferable twat"

[@kamakazeheart3796]

will left because he had schedual issues and couldn't make time for the game and he isn't really a huge fan of dnd next

[@MurrayTheMac]

I don't think a single thing you just said was true.

[@RW77777777]

it's all true just not true for wil

[@Peter-xs2mu]

@@MurrayTheMac At least the first two were confirmed by Will himself on his blog. Of course, since then we all know he also had issues with Scott Kurtz.

[@applesnotoranges]

They need to ban the doritos at the table.. seriously way too noisy
