The rise of Benthazar Hellstrand II | Gmod TTT

[@kabbaage]

Unlike the classic Rythian and Ben, I imagine Benthazar and Hellstrand would make an amazing traitor team

When ever they are traitors and win their name plates should be change to that for the round for "canonical" reasons 😅

This is what we should refer to ben and rythian as when they have a good traitor rounds, I need a Benthazar and Hellstrand compilation

[@AberrantChibi]

Benthazar Hellstrand, second of his name, Master in the Lores of Law and Metal, Lord of the Thrones, greatest challenger to the Surpreme Patriach of the Colleges of Magic, reciever of the Starmetal Harpoon, Snatcher of Defeat from the Jaws of Victory, most blessed by the Benperor and full of bees.

[@happyhatebot]

I sympathize with Ben. I've gone by a nickname for so long that I often have to take a second when someone who isn't a family member uses my real first name. Every now and then I'll get an official letter or something addressed to me and be legitimately confused for a second on why I'm getting someone else's mail until I wake up a bit. So all of my official, legal things are under one name, and a lot of the frivolous stuff is under another.

[@Brian-tn4cd]

I have 3 names in my birth certificate and for lols i introduce myself with different ones to different people and occasionally get confused as well

[@lavenderwalrus9875]

same here, i have a couple family members that cant wrap thier heads round the change so constantly confuse me by using the old name when literally everyone else i interact with calls me by my nickname

[@Missy_Lib]

I go by my nickname at home and only use my real name at work. My sister’s husband and her best friend both thought she was hiding a fourth sister when they learned my name (took them 2-3 years of knowing her before my name came up in a conversation)

[@mehmeh8403]

5:52 I am convinced Ben harpooned Zylus by accident lol. He meant to hit boba then convinced himself otherwise.

[@BeartatoTime]

Oh absolutely. I love that Ben tried to play it off as intentional and the editors completely dobbed him in.

[@cognitiveTrifurcation]

2:45 I was SUPPOSED to be one of those people whose name is just Ben. However, Social Security refused to accept that, so they called my mom every day for months asking for “clarification” until she gave up and now my legal name is Benjamin. The only reason I haven’t changed it back to Ben as an adult is to avoid the same sort of BS every time I have to put my full name on an application.

[@BPro48]

As a fellow Benjamin, full is the way to go. Benjamin's unite!

[@Otterdisappointment]

I’m convinced in another timeline I have a daughter named Alessia Sofia Maria and I elect to exclusively call her Lexi

So apparently setting up a Social Security account is like an email where your legal name has to be minimum of 6 characters apparently..

5:57 The replay during Ben's explanaition showing how obvious it is that he just missed Boba and is now fabricating some cool explanation because he got lucky and hit Zylus instead.

[@rockysolid4200]

The beginning just goes to show how long it actually takes for a TTT video to be uploaded to KZbin. It seems reasonable since it keeps switching perspectives and the team needs to decide which rounds should be aired and which ones should be cut.

[@Junbav]

plus with JJ they likely prepared a lot more content in advance

[@BackRowB]

I assume they are taliking about Hurricane Ian - which formaed on September 23rd and disipated October 2nd As others say, they make content and keep some to air when they are not in the office/ doing other things like Jingle Jam... it seems that the previous Christmas episodes were filmed between mid November and very early December

[@distantignition]

The editing multiple perspectives isn't difficult. It's hard to set up the first time, but it's all scripted/macro'd after that. They could do this live if they wanted (and other channels that play TTT have done just that). They just miss out on the hindsight aspect. The editor has it all queued up on screen and can see what the most interesting parts are, then cuts to the relevant people. I would guess editing takes about 3-4 hours per video.

[@thefinal9923]

@@distantignition 3-4 for a twenty minute video IS pretty difficult, though. I mean that's almost half a working day. Maybe difficult is/was the wrong word, but certainly time-consuming and probably not something the editors wake up in the morning thrilled to be doing.

[@davkem1154]

@mitre hj I don’t think Zylus was in the earlier video when they first used it, was he? Maybe just he didn’t know, everyone else already seemed to know
