I like how Matt kinda approximated his way into the Pumat accent and immediately locked it in with that one first sentence.

[@PlywoodDavid]

That close up on Talesin when Matt was describing Firbolgs was genius. I wonder what thoughts were going through his head as he stared wistfully and fondled the air....

If Talks Machina is to be believed, "Ooooh, I wanna be a Dark Crystal character!"

Aww, you missed Jester/Laura's reaction when Pumat said "That's an illusion." But you got "SHE HAS SEX FOR MAH-NEY!" so it's okay.

You missed the best part when Molly looks at Jester after Starrousta leaves and says “your my new hero.”

[@arthaiser]

is cool to see that when jester gets the letter of recomendation for fjord you can see caleb basically freaking out about maybe having to go there. there is also a moment when they ask fjord for a surname and he says he doesnt have one, that is also cool. you know, these first episodes are full of cool details once you get to know the story behind, there are probably countless of little details lite these scattered on the first 30-40 episodes

[@toddalexander5015]

So I wonder if Travis really knew Fjord's last name at this point or not.

[@TheHardM]

Allegedly it was always in his backstory, he just didn’t want to be associated with the orphanage any more than he had to be.

[@PedroFerreira-ne3jv]

He had already fjorgotten it

[@Grey_Shard]

you, or someone, really ought to do the cut with Marisha stating that a few episodes later they'd be fighting gods with Pumat Sol. And then put in the bit where they're fighting dark god cultists with him.

[@gamegirlcz1697]

I love how everyone is talking about how Taliesin came up with Cad when Pumat was introduced (not true, but still cute) But why is nobody talking about the moment when Ford gets the letter and Caleb is just "You gonna repeat my backstory homie"

[@danielarosindo]

[@TenzinBeifongIII]

@@Grey_Shard matt is not too open about it, but marisha is an admitted stoner and it would be likely that he is too. Probably not as often as her though from what I can gather. Burning Man is more of an LSD/MDMA/psilocybin/etc. kind of scene. Of course weed too but a the other shit goes wild there too

[@MuRd0K]

Nico, please turn up the volume a lot more when you're doing the video editing. I'm not sure if you're adjusting it so that at max volume it sounds decent but it is definitely not enough. I put it side by side with the actual chapter, and your edits are like at half the volume. I'd just leave it unchanged from the original grab, or turn it up a lot more. Try setting your highlight next to the original episode to see what I mean. I complain because my laptop speakers are what I use at night, and I can't ever hear your videos at all, even if I 100% everything. This doesn't happen to me in other videos.
