Brudder's Gate: Episode 2

The gang decides to interact with some locals and, well. It certainly goes some kind of way.
Diesel Gene gets sneaky, Oscar makes some questionable decisions, Fizz tries to make a deal, and Joshh figures out how to fight, kinda.

[@banditbuli]

Once again, even when he has no clue what is happening Clint remains the shining star of the McElroy Comedy Empire.

[@drollchild]

*especially when

[@quinnmarchese6313]

i mean the comedy genes (and jeans) had to come from somewhere

[@CaymenLeP]

Whenever Clint goes silent I just imagine him intently staring at matrix code

[@jeremy____5747]

*furious typing, then stops* "I'm in."

[@ItsCerealWarrior]

He was never the same after Steeplechase... hard to tell where the radio host ends and the hardlight tinkerer begins.

[@WolfgirlAidan]

That's very generous of you 😂

[@nikawamosby473]

More like staring at the start screen to Into the Matrix the ps2 game.

[@leiram8833]

They don't know Clint is manually typing out the code for the game as they're playing it

I appreciate that this run is so chaotic that it manages to avoid any kind of spoilers for the game because the boys have managed to break the game completely already.

[@NateCummings]

The Avarice Spider is my favorite Justin McElroy original character

[@NateCummings]

6:13 btw

[@FFigueira]

a bunch of ppl on a circle punching the fire sphere absolutely killed me

[@jonhanson8925]

The best thing is that it seemed to work out somehow

[@YorkJonhson]

Too many good bits here. Justin using his own flaming body as a weapon, Clint repeatedly picklocking things mid-Griffin Barbarian smash, Travis's, "Hey guys we completed, Save the Refugees!" while standing in the foundations of their corpses. Need this to be a full playthrough. Hahah

[@smizzlestories3053]

Exactly!!! I'd watch hours of this! It's The Adventure Zone basically!

[@YorkJonhson]

@@smizzlestories3053 Only issue is that if they keep being murder hobos then they'll burn through all their story bridges pretty quickly. lol

[@shadowdroid776]

So far, they have: killed Shadowheart and stole her artifact, killed Lae'zel in combat, praised Wyll, attacked the grove, accidentally genocided the tieflings, and refused to sell anything they found. *This* is the true McElroy gaming experience.

[@jonathanspencr]

What I liked most about this video series is all the things you've mentioned.

[@tracer.s]

Astarion is off-screen, canonically eating boars and otherwise starving.

[@M3L4M4R]

there was literally zero fanfare about it but if you watch the combat log Clint also quietly murdered Kagha at 22:32, who would normally be a miniboss fight with cutscenes and everything if they'd confronted her through any sort of actual story route lmao

[@sonorasgirl]

😂amazing, good good boys!

[@ananananabop]

The bird launch with Justin’s accidental perfect bird SFX got me

[@michelleficalora714]

23:19 😂

[@abbiegibbs5924]

The pan to Clint running as slowly as physically possible killed me

[@HatashiLuvsU]

Zevlor has NEVER jumped down into combat for me, that was a new one to watch. I hope they play this whole game together - this has been a riot so far.

[@feeltheflumph]

I was surprised by that too! I think its because the webbing negates fall damage so suddenly the AI recognized that it had a clear path to enter the fight.

[@maxhornby6592]

@@feeltheflumphthat’s a good idea! I thought it was because most of the friendly NPCs died and the game lets him come into the fight to make that fight less hard

[@Leelectric]

11:00 "Auntie Ethel, that's who I'm gonna assassinate!" Good luck with that my dude

[@somebodysomewhere310]

Love these supercuts but high key would watch the full stream as it's being recorded

[@b0bbarkerftehw]

please. i'd pay for it

[@theberrypie]

yeah dude, less work for them and i would also high key loooove to see all of it

[@Airship_Gazette]

seconded - lets see the whole deal!

[@bethanyc5891]

Of course Justin has the correct Wyll opinions. Juice has yet to let me down.

[@theotherauthor740]

wyll is my prince charming fr i love the guy

[@YorkJonhson]

I liked Wyll but won't pretend he didn't get the short end of the stick in some aspects of his character quest.

[@Michelle-vm3dp]

Travis letting me down for real! Cmon mam don't just dunk on him calling him boring. Justin is full of wisdom.

[@gsjjyfdvmkg]

justin having the correct wyll opinions is delightful, and travis having the wrong ones is predictable. lol. but the REAL correct opinion is griffin calling zevlor daddy, lets be real

[@octoGeneric]

"correct opinion" is a phrase I'm really not surprised to hear in this fandom + wyll sucks

[@gabebernhard4601]

Utterly wild of Justin to threaten murder when the others go shopping and then five minutes later be like “our mission was to talk to some people and we failed”

[@upatreeee]

shoutout to the designer that did the titles for this series, they look incredible ✨

[@joshvandeleuv1595]

And the titles aren't half bad, either!

[@ToxicDerg]

Personally, I like the titles.

"Breasts and Thighs" Good to see Fizz Gizzard the Lizard Wizard firing on all cylinders

[@kuuttituutti]

I love that wolves on fire are a constant in mcelroy dnd-media

[@andalongjacket]

Hucking that bird unlocked a whole new Justin sound

[@smalliesxd]

23:23

[@ems3376]

I’m floored that Wyll didn’t get straight up murdered this episode

[@maevem316]

Well, that's only a win if he didn't die in the fight they started, but I have never seen this option get played through so maybe he's still out there, lol

[@reallygoodatfolding]

Griffin saying ‘yes, daddy’ to Zevlor was so babygirl coded

[@thecurtains]

This might just be my favourite comment on this site 💀

[@Mythical_343]

None of these words were in the Bible I’m dying

[@bookslutskye7039]

please, just.... please. do more than 4 episodes. we need more of this. for our collective mental health. please. think of the children. please. everyone will watch and devour the content i prommy

[@ghoullio-jr]

"everyone's now punching the fireball. what is WRONG with these dolts??" holy shit im crying

[@lumae8216]

Justin I applaud you, I also like Wyll! He's cool and kind and not boring! Thank you for being a man of taste!

[@jamdoodles]

I’ve never seen the bedlam in the grove because I’ve never done a… morally dubious play through so this is really fun for me to see from an ethically justifiable distance 🙃

[@puddle-brigade]

19:18 "What they are is -full of ~treasure~" Justin this is exactly how Taako got in trouble for looting boots in EPISODE ONE of TAZ" Safe to say Justin's favorite dnd mechanic is looting.

[@Ristro44]

The camera panning to the dead bodies like "look at what you've done! Are you proud of yourself?"

[@olliew6642]

"How Do I Stop Being On Fire?" A question I have asked myself many times

[@postmortemtsarina4135]

"wah wah wyll is boring" consider the following: point blank eldritch blast

[@quilavabucket]

justin fighting as a big scary spider and defending wyll, man after my own heart

[@Demildiel]

I have literally never seen Zevlor jump down from that cliff and divine smite in that first battle like that.

[@Demildiel]

For playthroughs like this, I really enjoy seeing the super chaotic choices being made because I tend to stick to the same choices throughout most of my playthroughs.

[@CombatOstrich]

"I'm like a bird" took me out. I am deceased. Someone please revivify me.

[@valkyrie-randgris]

@10:03 Damn Zevlor JUMPSCARE! I have 750 hours on this game and I've NEVER seen him leave the walls?? EDIT: Griffin: "Yes Daddy." Ah, I see Griffin is quite familiar with this game himself. That's precisely what all (fanfic reading) bg3 vets call Zev. >.>

[@reallygoodatfolding]

The Avarice Spider needs to host the next season of Hoarders

[@quiettypw1832]

[@dakodabanner2369]

Zevlor jumping down during the battle at the gate??? It almost made me gasp in surprise

[@colonelstunts4885]

oh yall dont even know how desperately i needed this

[@colonelstunts4885]

oh thank god they saved the refugees

[@MySockDrawers]

The end of this video, with the bird Justin scream laughing to them trying to wrap up and Clint yelling shit and getting set on fire had me crying

[@micheljavert5923]

"That's the hoarding talking," got me good😂

[@hannahgriffiths5920]

when griffin launched joshh groban over the cliff, and groban is just lying down for ages to only then casually get up and run through a random door to (then get attacked by a statue out of sight) 10/10 was dying with laughter, i need 100 more episodes of this

[@NixityNullt]

Can't wait for season 2 when Fizz fulfills his destiny and becomes a king, and also, on an unrelated note, forms a multi-genre psychedelic indie rock band

Justin playing a druid is the best and most appropriate thing to ever happen in Baulder's Gate 3.

[@bigworldsmallperson]

Pleaaase keep this playthrough going, it’s SO fun to watch!!!!

[@HDLoser]

I just realized Clint, Juice, and Griff are playing their Graduation classes

[@jamiepandaman]

This proves my hypothesis that Clint is actually great at playing a Rogue, but during Graduation neither he nor Travis understood how Sneak Attack works. (Which is entirely fair. Sneak Attack is more complicated than it needs to be.)

[@DelphinusZero]

Which is hilarious because Travis cross-classed Magnus as a rogue… he literally had played one before!

[@dungeondepths]

Justin’s a druid, Clint’s a rogue, and Griffin is a wild magic barbarian… I’ve seen this before 😂

[@jujudisasters]

winced at Clint becoming encumbered as someone who also played a rogue and kept becoming encumbered before i figured out inventory

[@MrChatfield76]

Man I really wanted Juice to attack Auntie Ethel...

[@seventhsip]

the "yes daddy" at zevlor is soooo real

if Clint's on controller i don't blame him for having to go silent to figure out how do anything in combat.. someone get poor clint a good kbm for combat
