Hey, guys! I know, it's been a while, mostly because the first episode for Plains of Ashford ends up being pretty long. I just passed the 1 hour mark, and there are still things to say. But it's coming, and I will post it as soon as I am happy with it. Meanwhile, His Majesty, Mad King Thorn is back in Tyria, and I felt I could've done better. So I've remastered the 2 videos about our favorite lunatic. I've used the things I've learned this past year to retouch the audio and the video quality, but the information is pretty much the same. Over all, I hope these new videos offer a better experience. So that I don't bombard you with notification, you won't receive the alert for the second video, but you will find the link to it on the end screen, and both videos are in their respective playlists. That's about it for now. Happy Halloween!

I was afraid the series ended after covering the beginning maps (though I guess I completely missed the Charr starting map hadn't been covered yet). Glad to see this series is still going

LK'S TGTT M02MK? now I have to rewatch previous videos to see if it's the first time it's used and if there's a pattern for the second and third portions, thanks lorekeen 😆

[@Lorekeen]

You'll have to watch all of them, Mus! They all have it XD

[@MusPuiDiTe]

and I'm noticing only now??? god if I'm slow 😆

[@Lorekeen]

Mus, no subscriber of mine is slow. Your brain is just hyper efficient in eliminating unnecessary information ;)

[@theashapeshift]

- carefully studied certain zones - comes back at Halloween - hyperfixated on mad king thorn I think a more pressing issue at hand is who is Lorekeen because according to my calculation she's 73%, Joko.

[@Lorekeen]

I wouldn't say "hyperfixated", but you know how it is: everybody likes a bad boy with pumpkin on their head ;)

[@RbDaP]

spooky Lorekeen! - I love this zone but my toaster PC does not love it :(

[@Lorekeen]

I'm sorry to hear that! Even with lowest textures and all that?
