Trial of the Bear | Prime - Chapter 1

[@laurenbrawner419]

Starting at Prime to find where Chuckles came from lol

[@b4ckstr33t]

Chuckles is from Once upon a Witchlight, about episode 2-3?

[@laurenbrawner419]

@@b4ckstr33t thank you 😊

[@Slim_K1ckl3]

"Stop playing, Klutzy!" is my favorite line from the kids when he died- funni

[@NightWink129]

His origin may be in OUAW, but there are tons of references from this campaign in the current ones they're running. Andy also said "gods, you were strong then," mid episode, which might be a reference to something else, but Chuckles brings that back in OUAW, too.

[@bonkulonius]

@@NightWink129 Robert Baratheon says that in season 1 of Game of Thrones in regards to his younger days. I think that's probably what the reference is towards.

[@makeitupvariety]

*cracks knuckles* All of my experience in watching 7+ hour video essays have prepared me for this day. I take up this quest of finishing Prime in high sprits and great hopes

[@smiley_asylum4187]

I did not notice the length until i saw this. Lord of the Rings has prepared me for this.

I've seen the horror of witchlight, known true hunger from the depths of the ice. Watched a demon declare war under wings of dark and experienced pain, loss and rage from the countess of barovia. Now to understand where it all started. Time to binge prime.

[@iamthevillainofthisstory1240]

I found you guys through Shorts and absolutely fell in love! I love that y'all can joke around but still stay on topic and keep the story going. Absolute goals for my future campaigns!! Thank you for the entertainment! I will 100% be bringing all of your guy's videos starting today.

[@LegendsofAvantris]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Prime is the campaign that started it all, and it's near and dear to our hearts!

And so my journey through prime offically begins. Time to see how this amazing group got started.

"I just took a trap to my most of me." fkn cracked me up. XD

I keep being blessed by yall's shorts on my feed so it's time to binge your campaigns. Your laughter is infectious, and truly something that's been wonderful to listen to while I recover from an aneurysm. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@toby8272]

I love seeing Scott walk around in the background because I'm doing the exact same thing while listening to this lmao

[@DanThornton-uk8ei]

After seeing chuckles and Torbek in youtube shorts, i thought it was time to watch some of yall's stuff. Best to start at the begining

[@diondotyx7015]

After binge watching pretty much every other LOA campaign on YT, im here to see the one that started it all. All your content is not only like listening to the best stories ever told, it’s getting to see an archive of great friends and all their memories and experiences of playing with each other. And it’s been an absolute joy to be witness to what you have all built together. What you guys have is so special. Thank you for sharing the good times with a bunch of internet strangers:) much love ❤

[@josephine.]

I'm not even two hours in and I already love it. So many little things and name drops that play part in future campaigns 😍 I don't know where in the time line Prime sits, but Mammoth tusk and Rodeks homeland... Is that one of Jornirs tusks?

[@whatsupinthisau2430]

Ive only seen the shorts, and i prefer starting things from the beginning.....seeing 91 episodes that are MULTIPLE HOURS LONG?? We eatin GOOD

[@bradleymoore2797]

Even this is supposedly 20 sessions in before they started recording right? 😅

[@povertyshop]

I've seen so many clips of yall and the "Chuckles the Clown" escapades I figured I'd start from the 1st session and get caught up

[@callmethesolarsystem]

Finally binging prime! I've caught up on everything else, yall are just too good. And I'm sooo excited for the crooked moon. Keep being amazing

[@Poetrywriter12]

‘If people like this’ little did you know how many people would enjoy LoA, Mikey!!

[@LLCCB]

Okay, time to binge the one that started it all. Only 91 episodes to go

[@Metronomeblue]

'if anyone's still watching, which I doubt" is such a funny thing to hear from seven years later. Don't you worry- people are definitely still watching

[@QuinnEthanR]

I keep catching up to your current campaigns faster than I want to, so it's prime time babey!

[@Khism_]

Alright after binging my way through beneath dark wings, after a little break I'm ready to make my way through the campaign that started it all... mark my words, I will have all of your campaigns under my belt someday

[@oztippetarius]

Fell in love with the shorts. Fell in love with Bitsy. Watched Dimwood. Couldn't decide what campaign to watch first. Gave up and started here! I can't wait to catch up and to join the patreon!

[@KarlosBaron]

I think this is Prime Time to start watching this Crazy adventure from start to finish!!

[@NightWink129]

I know Richie and Mikey don't really look like twins now, but seeing this, I'm already mixing the two up XD. I was looking at Richie as Mikey started talking in the beginning and was like "hold up, that's not who's talking." XD Richie having no facial hair is what really does it. Also, I love seeing the map behind Mikey still being in their current play room after all these years.

[@MythicalWolfPup2005]

Found you guys through KZbin Shorts & Chuckles the Clown. I vow to, on June 28th, 2024 to watch every video & every campaign of yours. Even if I have to *force* myself to keep focused on the video, or listening to it in the background of a game. I can tell you guys have so much creativity & am so excited to see where this campaign has lead your channel.

Officially beginning my journey through Prime officially on 7-30-24, I can’t wait to see how things will go and I’m in for the entire ride 😂❤

[@maryjanepatton4212]

Its a Monday, so it's time to be a little weirdo in the comments of a five year old video. I've been getting really into Once Upon a Witchlight (as many do,) and as someone who's attention is impossible to capture, I'm proud to say I'm about nine episodes in!!! Which doesn't sound that cool, but you have to understand that I can't sit through movies that are longer than an hour and a half, so it's pretty huge for me!! I also started Curse of Strahanya, and I wanted to see where it all began. As someone who's a pretty new fan, I just want to say that it's beyond impressive how far y'all have come!!! I adore all of your content that I've watched (no matter how slowly I'm working through it all), and I nearly rebroken a rib laughing at more than a few of y'all's videos. On a much weirder note, and I apologize in advance, but watching your guys' content gives me hope for the future. As a younger nerd/dnd player/geek/whatever, it's always cool to remember that the world doesn't end as you get older, and that when I get older, I won't have to give up on any of my hobbies or, well, stop being myself or being weird. Not that I'm calling y'all weird, I mean that in a role model way. I don't know how else to say it, so I'll leave it like that. But, yeah, it's awesome to see adult nerds thrive and live their best lives. It sincerely gives me hope for my own future, as I'm sure hundreds of other kids just like me. Again, apologies if this is weird at all!! I am learning Socialization, but never mind all that!!!! Thanks for creating this channel. Thank you for giving us hope, and congrats on coming so far from the beginning!!! Proud of y'all, and roll on!!!
