Epic NPC Man Compilation

[@blinkusfishus2052]

I just want you know your shameless attempts at getting me to re-watch content... 100% works. Thanks guys. Never stop.

[@nightcoredark]

Yeah😂

[@christopherhammond5142]

Yep. Shameless and effective, I'm loving it.

[@jap7575]

Same. Love it too

[@PhoenixDestiny98]

Same, ive watched every one of their videos and that does include their 10 hour grind video. Yet anytime a compilation comes out i get excited to rewatch a list of videos :)

It’s lame and dislike on that. Give us more Bored, not that..pathetic excuse for a content

I love the "frenemies" skits, they are so funny, I totally agree that Ben should keep the bow, Rowan has that legendary sword, he doesn't need the bow

[@nicolewhite6030]

He should give up the flower for the bow

tbh they should have just agreed to sell it and split the gold.

[@NoxInABox69]

I feel like Brit and Adam are intentionally just not saying anything when they turn into a mushroom. Like, they see the buff for the transformation, and can turn it off. They remain silent just to fuck with Ben lol

I’d love to see an episode where everyone turns themselves into mushrooms one at a time and Ben gets increasing annoyed.

[@alexj1989]

Have him wandering through a forest of mushrooms, wondering which ones are adventurers.

Plot twist: Ben eats the wrong mushroom during a raid boss

[@killahp123]

​@@GGBlasterYES! Love the reference.

[@maybetoby]

Rowan already has a legendary weapon, so Ben should get the bow.

[@JustMe-tx3nm]

and he did take the flower

[@SaturnusDK]

No. They agreed to split 50/50 and roll for the bow. If Ben wanted the bow, he should just have said so from the start and offered to forfeit the rest of the loot.

[@edelweiss-]

And Rowan took the bombs

[@sarcastically_hopeful]

Tanks don't need bows, so Ben should take it.

[@SaturnusDK]

Absolute not. Ben looked at the inventory. Seeing there was a legendary bow, and thought to himself: "yeah, that one is mine, so let's see if we can con Rowan out of half the rest of the loot first".

[@pepinlebref7585]

Frenemies pt.3 literally brought a tear to my eyes. The feeling when they protect each other is overwhelming. Congrats for this

First sketch, at the exact time the 3rd perception check failed a police siren went off on the street outside my apartment. Perfect timing.

[@theomnipotent9402]

Ok?

[@rorysanford413]

I love how in a mash-up of previous videos with no new content, I can still find new lines and bits to chuckle at. When every rewatch feels different, it's like a brand new video each time

Thats the art of well made media. You can consume it more then once.

[@DJBSharpMusic]

Because, for some reason, those red flowers you already picked weren't the right ones from the right area. (Adventure Quest does this with an early game Frogzard skins fetch quest)

[@rhabeldibabeldi6812]

1:11 love Alan´s reaction, like he was so convinced the plan of never going trough doors again would work 🤣🤣

[@gyromurphy]

The amount of work that goes into these is amazing.

[@TakacsJanos]

The SkyCraft game needs to happen. One idea: all playable characters are just NPCs in the game, all they can do is the endless daily grind to make ends meet and to be able to support the adventurers quests. I'm not really sure how the game mechanics would work, but I'm confident the VLDL team could make it epic.

[@jonevansauthor]

It would make an excellent casual game.

[@MatthewSimms1029]

Counter thought, a game where you design quests and see how many adventures it takes till it completed

[@QueenFairy420]

They've said at some point, Alan specifically, that they are working on something. It was brought up in a live stream a long time ago and I haven't seen a mention since

The last Frenemies Part was one of the best videos. It had ALL emotions. Sadness, anger, happiness and so on :)

[@FlipCanon23]

Your editing team and everyone’s acting has dramatically been upgraded! I wish this was an actual tv series or at least a movie. Mixing in all the characters somehow into a mash!

[@daddystu7046]

Best game mates are the generous ones. Our guild had our own planet in one game entirely to ourselves. Built a massive building to share resources all crates labelled :) Even set our spaceships so anyone in guild could use them - Good times. Sank thousands of hours into that one.

[@FreyjaRKim]

The Frenemies series is just showing that Ben and Rowan are so much alike they clash every single time, but they are still together because outside their temperaments and logic, they complement each other (in team battles) lol

[@karategirl084]

The door argument is one of my favorites

[@venanziadorromatagni1641]

I love-hate it when a P&P GM does this by rolling a dice every so often, then asks a random character ‚What was your perception again‘ and upon hearing the answer just looks at them for a second, shrugs and then goes on with the story without a further word. Enter absolute group paranoia.

[@FelanLP]

Seriously, when "I look around" or something and the DM say "roll perception" or "you failed the persecution check" my only answer is "I'm not blind. What am I seeing? What things are in the room? My nose is working, what smells are in the air? Describe it to me. Where am I?" I know I can drive my DM crazy sometimes.

[@CosyClinician]

And I can’t wait for you to make a full length movie someday.. cuz it’s gonna happen 😏

Failing a perception check is realizing that you have this weird feeling that you should be noticing something but for the life of you you just can't notice that you have an arrow sticking out of your back.

The perception failure thing, I used that in Neverwinter Nights (The good one not the best one and not the online garbage now) I built a room with a stone by the door. The stone was hidden with a 55 to detect it. That's all it was. No one would search the room or stay long. SO much fun watching the "Perception Failed" message scroll.

[@khanhnhutranle4457]

The last skit may seem conflicting, but it brings me joy watching the characters doing their hard work, it's peaceful and reminds me to work hard like them

Rowan almost looks like Adam in that thumbnail. Had to do a TRIPLE TAKE lol 😅

[@ethannguyen9638]

About the frenemies section, there is definitely a comparison. Obviously the value of the items differ greatly, but the point stands that if you lack the morals first on an agreed pact, then all pleasantries are forgoed. You do not deserve to be treated as an equal because you don't treat others as an equal.

[@zool201975]

the flower thing does not matter if they were taming turns he still had to wait trough the spawning of 3 white flowers.

[@Alderwood69]

Rowan took the gnomish grenades, which made it fair for Ben to take the bow

[@2495781]

Agreed. They said they'd split the loot Evenly. Rowan had 2 health Potions, the Ruby, and the 4 Grenades. Ben got 1 Potion, a Damage Boost Scroll, an Emerald, and that's it. A fair trade for giving up 2 Grenades is Ben gets the Bow. Plus he is the Archer.

[@escanor8087]

you know it's bad when the archer/possibly ranger fails like 5 perception checks in a row XD

[@realdragon]

I was expecting him to get insta ban after buying hacks

[@sizier]

My eye twitched at 6:15 when he said, "You're a tank, you'll literally never use it." in regards to the bow. I've spent 25 years using bows to initiate aggro or pull as a tank in RPGs. Especially when trying not to aggro multiple mobs or groups at once. Some RPGs like ESO let me use a caster staff to pull, specifically the Ice Staff.

Dear Viva La Dirt League. I find myself in a situation where I acutely need a sketch that encourage asking for consent and plays on the duality of consent as it can both mean asking for consent to install cookies and to ask consent for interpersonal intimacy. I have tried to search your videos but couldn't find anything about consent. It can also play on the duality of cookies. Maybe something about Rowan correcting the staff to always ask the customers if they want a cookie instead of just having cookies standing there on just giving them to everyone walking into the shop. I don't know, you are really the comedic geniuses here, so who am I to tell you how your consent sketch should be. Anyway, I really hope you can help me out in this very serious and acute situation where I really need this techy sketch encouraging consent. I love what you do. Long Live the dirt!
