Brudder's Gate: Episode 1

[@sarahwilliams8438]

The fact that they use the same music as Griffin's Nuzlocke run whenever someone dies is giving me war flashbacks

[@brendanwatroba8568]

Rip Ms. Beakman, Gone but never forgotten

[@krisb574]

I was trying to remember what that was from! What an excellent choice in McElroy lore.

[@Molscheira]

i don’t believe fizz gizzard the lizard wizard has a medical degree

[@danasmith4756]

if there's a degree on his wall, i haven't seen it

[@BucklingSwashes]

Fizz Jizzard? "IT'S GIZZARD!" Fizz Jizzard.

[@zachodellisking]

I'm just happy to see a King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard reference from Travis! Wooooooooo

Justin's druid is definitely related to DJ Slime Time and gilhooley was for sure Trash Hulk in Hell where he belongs because he is big baby

[@EugeneHerbsman]

100%

[@shayneoneill1506]

As much fun as people have had with the character creator, it does feel like bit of a lost opportunity that you cant really go buck wild with the sliders. The sword coast needs its beautiful son monsters.

[@mdg245]

Some real Here be Gerblins energy in this one

[@freyabees]

Here there be Grobins

[@valkyrie-randgris]

By the end of the campaign I expect TEARS and will accept no less. >3> (Also if they didn't murder every beloved npc that might be legit too.)

[@devinreany8523]

I was initially so disappointed that they rebalanced the party and eliminated all the comedy potential from that but I should've known Clint would swing back around with something as great as Joshh Grobin

[@cptobvius]

Wasn’t really necessary either since they had a Bard which can do most roguey things as good as a rogue

[@Lazarus142]

@@cptobvius Let's be clear, that Bard is Justin, which has a lot of comedy potential... but I'm not sure how technical a Bard player he is. 😂

[@DrLazerbeam]

24 minutes? This better be the trailer. I’m gonna need the 5 hour extended editions with the special features and I’m gonna need them every day.

[@krisb574]

God, same.

[@DrLazerbeam]

This should have been an unedited MaxFunDrive stream that went on for 90 consecutive days.

[@tiredghosts]

for suure would love to see fewer cuts and more raw footage

they skipped the initial cutsceneT_T

[@SeventhEve]

Griffin: "We don't need to be in turn-based mode." *Everyone but Griffin dies*

[@jennycheng4486]

So glad Griffin smashed through that hole and triggered initiative when absolutely no one was ready because it made me feel better about smashing through that hole and triggering initiative when absolutely no one was ready

[@adambashacting2814]

Clint is ON IT this episode

[@MsDianagentaToYou]

Clint's really been on it in TAZ lately too!

[@DrLazerbeam]

Clint is the best brother.

OMG today's episode he kills!

[@reallygoodatfolding]

‘Joshh Grobin brain robbin’ was an overlooked quip from Travis

[@mikeking2432]

Decided to check the comments while watching this for the first time and I read that as it was said. It was a good one.

[@chastermief839]

its really funny that Clint asked if it was ok for him to be a barbarian, then they all shouted at him not to ask because they wanted to have a wonky party comp. And then they all begged Clint to remake his character so that they'd have a more balanced party comp before they even left the tutorial (and Justin also respecced so they'd have a healer). incredible stuff.

[@abj6920]

GLAD to see Griffin still finds throwing people in medieval settings hilarious. He is correct

[@josephroorda4410]

The sequence of all the bandits just lining up to beat the shit out of Diesel Gene while everyone else is doing ??? offscreen had me in tears

[@KJFMZ]

Seeing them run around in the background at 14:20 just sent me. Like someone trying to get their face on the news.

[@StarryCactus]

Oscar the Grouch just barreling the camera

[@marcbacarro]

I’m so glad they went Adventure Zone and brought Clint along. I have something to look forward to every other Wednesday!

[@Hephera]

was hoping with clint making a rogue he would finally realize that his sons lied to him for the entirety of the graduation campaign about how sneak attack works

[@rainevelde6017]

Fungalore heard our wish. Now we must wish for more than 4 episodes.

[@TheFillem]

And longer than 30 mins

[@kyzf]

Fungalore does not grant wishes. He only listens to them.

[@Catfish_Strongswim]

@@kyzf this is important to remember

[@lizzieintheskywithdiamonds]

God I hope Joshh Grobin is the Durge. That would be so funny.

I was wishing for a BG3 episode of Monster Factory but this is better

[@callmekitto]

"Do you mean in shape or in action?" "Yes."

[@valkyrie-randgris]

Tbh? Given how much people weirdly rag on/joke about bg3 for having multiple crotch options, I was legit a bit disappointed the first time I played and saw it was literally just cut/uncut, hair/no hair. 💀

[@divinecervine]

@@valkyrie-randgris you. you get it.

[@YouTubeBot-8916]

If you four boys did a 100+ hour play through of this game I would watch every minute of it. BG seems like such a good game for your particular twisted south park brand of humor.

[@TheFillem]

Yeah, shame we have "only" 2 hours of footage to look for ward to.

[@theberrypie]

AHHHH. I am SOOOO excited. Rarely have the 4 of them played DnD together before without one of them DMing. This is going to be wild and exciting in all kinds of new and unexpected ways.

[@EvanMe]

They did on Dimension 20

[@jord.an6123]

@@EvanMe Tiny heist was so fun!

[@MsDianagentaToYou]

@@EvanMe Yep! SO good! They also did in some MaxFun bonus content, just the four of them with Matt Mercer, and also a couple of seshes with BLeeM in Dadlands, which I think is in their regular episodes. It's a fantastic combo.

[@presshusfightlady3966]

​@@MsDianagentaToYou oh shoot that's right! Dadlands was AMAZING. I remember listening before I ever got into Dimension20 and then retroactively realizing, yep, that insane DM whose name I didn't recognize was totally my new idol Brennan Lee Mulligan. Brilliant.

[@theberrypie]

@@EvanMe Oh right! I even watched that but totally forgot. They also played TAZ Imbalance with Aabria.

[@3mmaloops]

As a squeamish fan with a fainting disorder, I really appreciate the body horror content warnings! Getting caught off gaurd by that kinda stuff is the actual worst

[@emilysmith9199]

Griffin's other saves being Fitzroy and Montrose.... excellent

[@PastaLuke]

Even Brudder Clint!!? 🥲

[@GODZILLAmonsoon]

I like _just_ rewatched griffo's nuzlocke run so the rememberance music for Diesel Gene threw me way the fuck off

This is making me want to rewatch it. I can't help but think of ~Sea Breeze~

so many time signatures…

[@andreawelsh]

I need the whole 5+ hours this took for character creation and running around figuring out the game please.

[@randalabra3852]

The way they talk in this sounds like they've all played it pretty extensively except clint

[@Jude020507]

Clint is KILLING it in this one.

[@SomeOtherBots]

This is so deeply unhinged. I can’t believe it’s taken this long to do this.

[@trebotski]

The eight months since this game's release have been long, but now it's finally all worth it

[@imma-burr8287]

Completely forgetting that the boys have been on Hello from the Magic Tavern and getting hit with “CHUNT HER UP.”

[@eleri_theda]

omg i didn't know they were on that show. Do you remember which episode?

[@omarbhester]

I’d like to know too. Maybe someone kind will post a link?

[@DevinRusnak]

Travis plays Chest Trunkborn and he’s a mimic, Justin is a come alive boat sculpture (the carving on the bow) in I think the first episode of season 3, and Clint plays a sherif when they’re trying to cross a bridge, I think also season 3. No griff yet unfortunately. But they’re all fans of hftmt and I know Adal and Travis do escape rooms together when they happen to be in the same city.

[@eleri_theda]

@@DevinRusnak rad thank u :)

[@justbovel]

I love that you've included Clint in this, so much fun! Can't wait until the next episode drops.

[@drskelebone]

"Fizz Gizzard the Wizard Lizard." I have been suspecting strongly that Travis is actually the funniest human on earth, and it's things like this that support that idea.

[@DrLazerbeam]

Yeah...Well he's definitely in the top 5 out of the 4 players here

[@ems3376]

Here’s the party: Griffin: Diesel Gene (Barbarian) Travis: Fizz Gizzard the Wizard Lizard (Wizard) Justin: Oscar LeGrouch (Druid- not sure what the original class was) Clint: Joshh Groban (Druid) /formerly Gilhooley (barbarian)

[@lavender_cat_]

Oscar LeGrouch was originally a bard

[@nope6021]

Wild that the intro could be 3 brothers and their dad talking about Baldurs gate, OR 4 trans-mascs talking about their packer order.

[@summerbuffin5727]

Griffin's subtle Zork reference had me in such a whirlwind of emotions, have loved that game forever, and it led me to discovering that they have the original games bundled on Steam now. As if I couldn't love you guys any more than I already do

I keep watching this to go to sleep and I think it’s so funny every time that at first they immediately tell Clint not to talk about his characters class type, but once they start playing they they ask him to change his character right away because they needed something else.

you all know damn well we need longer videos of this
