    I just want to say for the record that I like Wil Wheaton. I didn't splice in the Stan Lee footage to be mean, I'd just seen the Stan F-word Rant episode just beforehand and it dropped my jaw. Then when Wil starts talking to the heckler.. wouldn't it be awesome if the guy in the back row with all the creative ideas about acid and how to use it.. WAS Stan Lee? I couldn't resist. Manually syncing two two-hour long shows in several second intervals does strange things to your head. I was ready to throw in a monkey wrench by the end.

      Cut down on the "unrealistic fairytale superhero autosuccess" stuff though, because coming up with super wild stuff is easy and it will get boring really fast. Only by keeping the "uneasy stomach feeling" alive can you keep the game exciting for a longer time ... and to do that there has to be the risk of dire consequences for the player characters. Superhero/movie stunts which auto-succeed kinda negate that risk.

      Which guy? All I am saying is that his version of DMing is just working through the 6-year-old jokes and "nothing bad ever happens" story. That is only entertaining for so long and will get stale eventually (when you grow up).

    • @Muck006

      My roleplaying experience (since 1984) has taught me that each roleplayer CAN go through four phases in his career. Each of them has its own fun, but the potential is nicest at phase 3.
      Phase 1: Powergamer - This is basically how the "Acquisitions Inc" games are played, especially the 2013 one. The DM disregards any "common sense" and many game rules for the point of making the players feel super powerful. Loot is absolutely plenty and risk of death is minimal.
      Phase 2: Ruleslawyering - People are trying to "play the game properly" and sticking to the rules by the letter. Players are a pain in the ass of the DM, when they are trying to argue with him using the letter of the "law" (rules). Players are prone to creating super powerful characters by abusing multi-class options to handpick certain skills that synergize into "super"powerful abilities.
      Phase 3: actual Roleplaying - Characters and stats become less important and you are more concerned with the personality and probably the looks of the character. At the same time the rules can be overruled more easily by the DM for the sake of a story (creating magical effects that are listed nowhere). In Phase 1 that might be happening too, BUT the players are usually equally stuffed with powers and thus the "level of awesome" isnt that great.
      This is the phase where player characters are least powerful and this is a good thing, because it increases the risk AND the reward from succeeding.
      This is also the phase, where "the world" feels most alive, because it is realistic instead of cartoony and characters and monsters have personalities compared to just having stats.
      Phase 4: Politician - This is actually a bad step in the development after roleplaying (but luckily also rare), because SOME players are trying to manipulate other players (the actual player) for their own benefit. Its not pleasant to play "against" such a player.

    • @TheViciousCoy
      @TheViciousCoy 10 лет назад +3

      Muck006 I really do agree with you on this - for DMing a home game at least. What they're doing here and in the podcast is to provide entertainment for the audience. I think the way Chris is trying to do that is by letting the guys have some nonsense fun with the story because it's fun for the audience; it's cartoonish.
      (Now, spoilers ahead for those who haven't seen the entire series.)
      I especially agree with the "uneasy stomach feeling" though, and I wish it was used more in these games. I think it was done well when it appeared the party was going to suffer a TPK in the Temple of Orcus, and again when Aeofel died. There was a sense of gravity among the players, which also influenced the listeners. Now, though, it suffers. It's difficult to get that same feeling because Chris will always deliver a Deus Ex Machina to allow the entire party to continue. It's like watching a cartoon where you know the good guys will always win.
      What I think Chris needs to do is provide a situation where the party loses, but doesn't necessarily die. They need to lose something that's close to the party without the party suffering a crippling loss that would need to be remedied by DM intervention.

    1:43:35 I love that as Jim grabs Aeofels hand to escape the acid pit, right when they're both rolling, you can see the gears turning in Chris' mind. He knew whatever the roll was he wanted to make them choose. Over the years it's so clear to see what really revs him up as a dungeon master is putting players in situations that make them either prove their loyalty or betray each other. The wicked smile on his face as Aeofel lets go of Jim is the happiest you'll ever see him.

    They characters -were- level 10 in 4th edition before the D&D Next conversion, since 5th edition has only been playtested to level 5, they're level 5 in this video. There are a few changes, Aeofel is now a Priest of the Retribution Domain instead of an Avenger (which is why he can heal himself now, and shoot bows effectively, but no longer actually has 'Oath of Emnity' except as flavor text). I added a link to a character sheet download page in the video desc above.

      In the end, the only problem I ever had with Wil Wheaton being on these shows is that whoever is in charge of sound apparently wasn't good enough at their job to be able to balance out his microphone properly. He was fine and continue to be fine while engaging in role-playing games. Perpetually angry people on the internet just feel like they need to be able to complain about someone in order to make their Day More bearable.

      @codyrocker185 Kurtz gave an interview like 2 years ago. The most he ever said was that Wheaton kinda disagreed with him 'antagonizing' the audience, like bringing them into the banter, which apparently was a repeating thing which rolled into other arguments and it just became clear that they disagreed on too much to work with. I don't think it was bad blood tho. Aggravating work sure, but not with any maliciousness.

      +Isaac Self He was brooding, bitchy and extremely desperate seeming for attention. I think being the only professional actor at the table made him feel like he HAD to be over-dramatic, and that also cut into his enjoyment of the game (and maybe even contributed to his decision to permanently quit the group). If only he realized he could be normal, chill out and enjoy the game (and stop screaming about the acid pits and reminding everyone you died, we get it -- you died) I think we'd maybe still be seeing him in these games. Alas, he's basically officially confirmed he's done with Acquisitions Incorporated and is "probably not" coming back.

He was a good sport about the bad luck up until about 3/4 of the way through. Then he started being, well... brooding and bitchy. As far as desperate for attention, well, he's always insisted he be at the center of it.

    Well, you have to realize that Wil is sort of the Odd Man Out here. Mike, Jerry, and Scott are all webcomic makers, used to sitting down and writing something out. Wil has a theater background, he's skilled in working an audience and making things lively and immediate, so it's sort of his job to stir the pot and keep things popping. That means that he grabs the spotlight several times, but some of the crazy things he does make for really good moments. I hope the new guy is up to the task.

    I think this was Wil's last game. I've watched some of his TableTop stuff and he does not take losing at those sort of games well, some of the times. Especially if he is just getting the worst luck all game long, as was the case in this. He's just sort of sensitive I guess, and to add insult to injury after finally climbing out of the statue or whatever's ass, he lands in what? You guessed it, the pool of acid again. All this, with consistently horrible rolls (even, fortunately but humiliatingly enough, against himself later on). He's done similar things on his own show when being completely wrecked by the game in general, and in this case it was no different. Throwing his D20 just randomly off the stage in anger, not even really caring where it landed. I kinda think Wil and all of them sorta had a falling out of sorts after this, not that they are enemies or anything now, more just like "I don't wanna play D&D with you guys anymore" sort of animosity. And then he blames it on his famous Depressive/Anxiety issues. I honestly don't even think he wants to come back, even if they would even let him back at this point, since I think Viari is about to become a full-fledged member of the group (the new session is in like a week, I may have seen something sort of spoilery on the reveal website). Anwyays, I really doubt Wil Wheaton will play with AI regularly ever again. Cameo, maybe, but I really doubt it.

All I said was _I think this is Wil's last game_. Which means you're not going to be getting any new games with AI, "probably not" ever again according to Wil himself. "Wow, I must be a messiah" -- do you even know what a fucking messiah is? I think you were reaching more for a word like "psychic", even though neither one really makes a whole lot of sense in the context of a response to my comment.

He also bitches when the audience talks. If other players want to talk strategy, he makes loud snoring noises. If other players are rewarded for ingenuity, he complains. If he doesn't get his way, he whines (check out Season 8/Arc of the Mad Mage and the incident with his precious "beer robot"). Don't look for improvement. He's a 400 lb eight year old in an adult body. My 12 year old daughter has more focus than that moron, and she has ADD.

      It's not a fat joke. He's easily 400 pounds and he acts like an eight year old. Does being heavy allow him to be an ass to everyone when he doesn't get his way? Not from my perspective. Everyone has problems. You don't get to hide behind them and make life difficult for everyone else.

    • @poodlefluids
      @poodlefluids 9 лет назад +3

      No, actually--being heavy had absolutely nothing to do with the topic, but you're the one who brought it up. And, since everyone at the table, and the DM, all realize that his antics are an affectation for humorous effect (which you appear to have missed), the fact that you did bring that up says a lot more about you than it does about him.
      You do realize the guy is a professional humorist, right? You do realize that the DM and the other players actually enjoy this, and enjoy his presence at the table? And have stated as much elsewhere, on multiple other fora?
      You seem to be the only one disturbed by this. If the other members of the party and the DM are all in on the joke and having fun, what place do you feel you have telling them all that they are wrong and that they should not be?

    • @mikegould6590
      @mikegould6590 9 лет назад +2

      There is a difference between being funny and trying to be funny. If you listen as I have to every podcast that includes Scott, you'll see a trend. Chris Straub does the same sort of job and he's funny without making a single racial comment. No one else seems permitted to do so...but Scott...it's "an affectation" (you claim).
      I've watched/listened all the AI videos countless times. The others at the table also pick up on this with subtle comments or looks. You'll also note that they redirect conversations, change topics, and the like. And if I'm the "only one disturbed" by this, why does the audience always seem to grow to dislike Binwin over the course of a performance? Note Scott's statement "They're already pre-against me, so I might as well go with it?"
      Someone needs to pay more attention.
      And also note that it makes little sense to be a childish, whiny bitch as an "affectation" as a "professional humorist", which he does within the confines of a audio performance only or on stage.
      Your argument holds no water, there Fluids. Pun intended.

    • @BlackfootFerret
      @BlackfootFerret  7 лет назад +8

      Actually giving respect to the original work was the main reason I made this video. Remember all the Chris Straub animations that played when certain events happened during the episode? The live audience got to see them.. but when Wizards put their own version online, ALL of these were CUT. Not only that, but the original opening animation was redone, with clown noises replacing all the swearing to the point where you literally could not understand what anyone was saying.
      I made a point of putting ALL the animations back in, in their original gloriously profane form. In fact, I even sat down and spliced both the Twitch stream version and Wizard's RUclips version together chunk by chunk to eliminate all the black-screen pauses that happened on the original showing when the crew was switching the camera to show the animations. That's why I call this version "The Ultimate Version", it takes the very best of both showings of this event.
      I even added someone's cell phone camera of the Giant Idol getting lowered, so the RUclips viewer would understand why the crew was going NUTS at that point, something both versions missed. And a picture of the AD&D manual cover so new people would get the reference.
      Ok, so I added the Stan Lee cameos. I already apologized to Wil Wheaton about that in another comment. I was going mildly insane doing all this though, I felt compelled to do something creatively irresponsible.
