Griffin literally did the super villain monologue thing! Like in every action movie where the bad guy has the hero dead to rights, but starts bragging and goes on long enough for the good guy to find a way to escape. I thought that was made up, I thought it didn't really happen in real life, but it just did! Griffin just proved that the super villain monologue trope is an actual realistic thing!

[@Yzarro]

TheDude4077 "Something Vimes had learned as a young guard drifted up from memory. If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you in fear. They want you to know you're going to die. So they'll talk. They'll gloat. They'll watch you squirm. They'll put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar. So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word." What I'm getting at here is that Griffin is secretly evil.

A HEADS UP TO ANYONE WHO MAY NOT KNOW: the McElroys have a series of podcasts like My Brother My Brother and Me (a comedy advice podcast that these two do with their brother Travis) and The Adventure Zone (a comedy DND podcast these two play with the brother and their dad, Clint)! If you ever hunger for these good soft boys' content, go head over there!

[@nanusantos1696]

Also, Griffin has a podcast with his wife about dark medicine or something like that, Travis has a podcast with some dude i don't know about surviving apocalypse i think and...god, i can't keep up with all that stuff, goddamit

Innit dat Justin with the medical podcast with his wifey-person? I haven't listened to that one, but I believe she be the doctor and they do the Sawbones podcast just from hearing Justin talk about it a few times on MBMBAM and/or Awful Squad or Monster Factory, my god, so many options. Unless Griffin also has a podcasty-doctor wife he doesn't talk about as often as Justin talks about his, ofc.

Imagine implementing this idea into an assassin game where all the players compete to kill the target, finish objectives, and escape. Mission earn you money which can be used in the black market to purchase weapons, mods, gadgets, etc. Money can also be used to purchase Intel about the location, the target, and hints, kind of like prep work like John Wick does. Skills improve the more they're used. So if you prefer a marksman, you can modify a sweet ass rifle and purchase Intel on the best vantage points. Just know that other assassins also have access to this Intel so they'll know the hiding spots. Also include disguises like the Hitman series.
