I only just discovered this game a few days ago. I've been looking at more games from Fantasy Flight Games ever since I discovered their Lord of the Rings Lcg last year.
Sadly, as Wil seems to have found out, baiting He Who Is Not To Be Named can often bring unspeakable consequences. At our game table, we have adopted a house rule that strictly prohibits Hastur baiting during games.
He also has the downside that the Tabletop was so good people keep re-watching it. For every time he says the name. He gets 1 bad roll. So unfortunately, by re-watching this video. I am giving Will like 20 more bad rolls
" won't respond in character, because I don't do that sort of thing" ugh Bill Prady, it's a game and you're with Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day, fun some fun, man!!
01:05 PLZ TELL ME WHAT IS THE MUSIC HERE! I JUST NEED TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE MUSIC?!??! ALSO CAN YOU TELL THE NAME OF THE MUSIC IN THE INTRO?!??!? GUYS GUYS AND EVERYBODY PLZPLZPLZPZL!
Wait, they didn't win, because he needed 8 + 1 (mythos). Am I right in thinking this? Edit: After reading through the comments, I retract my statement, as the mythos card should have changed by his turn, they just didn't address this in the episode.
I don't know, throughout they kept switching back and forth on the extra investigation point. Kept saying only need 5 or 8 when that's what is said on the card, despite the mythos card.
Lilith Le Fay do you have expansions for it? The game really starts coming into it's own once you add the expansions. Kind of a bummer as far as cash goes, but who knows? You might have money.
Yeah. Her eyes have a mysteriously innocent yet mischievous sparkle. The swan is in her movement, and the morning in her smile. All the roses in the garden do bow and ask her pardon, for not one can match her charms.
Yeah. After re-watching it, Bill was just not feeling it. lol maybe was like: oh. Felicia day. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. lol I don't think he had to say yes, though I haven't a fucking clue how the channel worked.
I like the little chuckle Mike Morhaime does at the end at the mention of "our show has such a low budget". The money that guy makes in a single day off his net worth would fund this show for a long time (or at least buy a shitload of bad ass trophies to give away).
C4RP3T Gaming Channel Aha me and my board-game friends play Arkham horror and Mansions of Madness a whole lot. I love them games. I hate though when we play Mansions, because I'm always left wanting more!
My boyfriend and I just played this last night and it was really really fun!! And it was such a close game but we won!! Thank you Tabletop for always alway coming through with awesome games.
One noticeable rules violation: when Felicia assisted Wil on his failed roll, he focused *and* she assisted at the same time after the one failed roll. From the rule book: "Note: After each failed roll, a player may either focus or request assistance; he cannot do both."
Next on Tabletop: James Rolfe, Mike Matei, Tom Vasel & Sam Healey! Oh, & Zee Garcia if you can fit him because he is equally as awesome! Which game? Arkham Horror, Pillars of the Earth, etc!
Last night, at my local gaming club, we saw that the club had a copy of Elder Sign. I knew we had a copy, but I never tried to play it before since, looking similar to Eldrich Horror, I wanted someone else to explain the rules to me. Remembering this episode, I thought I could remember and explain the rules so me and a group of friends could play. I mentioned this and we started. While I overestimated my memory, we got over the hiccups and the game was awesome! We kicked the crap of Ithagua...or whatever his name was. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for putting this content out because it helps expose me and my friends to new and fun games to play! Also, this might be an odd thing to mention, but, that same night, someone brought out a cool game they had bought: Tragedy Looper. It was also pretty awesome. Did a cool job of making a legit murder mystery in board game form. Just throwing that out there.
How on earth do you get these guests to come on to your show, Wil? I'm rationing Tabletop to one a week and this one really gave me a Geekasm. This episode's cast makes my life complete!
Ha, Will couldn't beat the easy version of the 'Public Lavatory", that card was supposed to have two monster tokens placed on it they didn't read it correctly.
Hey wait a second they didn't win because he actually needed a 9 not an 8. They lost because they still had that mythos thing with the extra investigation dice.
+Zilla Fella Actually, that was introduced before Wil's turn, the round before. If the clock rolls around and always strikes Midnight before Wil's turn, then it would have changed and the old event card would have been obsolete, making their win legitimate.
@@tawnyclawx From the game play I got the impression that the clock only ticks once per full turn around the table. They are sure messing those things up with the editing. Then again, you do not watch this to learn the rules or strategy (too many misplays for that, plus confusing editing) but to get a feel for how the game is to play.
I think i remember him saying in a video that the game is takes so long that getting 4 people to come in and play and record it that he won't be doing it. I mean it is a long game and doing the recording and the editing it would be too much I think. I think he did elder sign because it's kinda like AH but plays shorter.
I adore Felicia Day (especially her time on "Supernatural"). I would SO love her to play Batwoman in a movie or hell even a TV appearance or ANYTHING. I would even take an animated feature but it would be better if it were live action.
30:50, after Amanda dies there should be additional doom token. One for her death and one as the adventure penalty. In addition, she losses all her stuff and trophies and takes a brand new hero.
ImTheSecretSquare Yea, I agree. Normally all their guests really get into the game and have fun, while these two are more acting confused and like, "what is fun?"
+Zaelek1776 Well one makes a sitcom and the other one of the worlds most famous games. Or not him alone, but he is leading the company that makes it. They should be clever and smart people with some humor. But they look like they are uncomfortable there. And the camera sure focus alot of the middle two. I belive having either one switched with the two at the end would have created a much better blend and forced the other two into wills and felicias shennanigans
um... question. Wasn't the 'need an extra investigation' thingy still in play? so Bill would have needed one MORE investigation? or did the clock advance and we not know about it? also, the first time I watched, at 12:13, my internet died and the last thing I saw was Wil saying girl power, staring right into the camera. Perfect timing.
I noticed that too. I saw the same thing and knew they were at a loss. + I believe earlier when the guy was rolling for 10 scrolls he had the ability to add +1 scroll which he ended up forgetting to use? Unsure about that though.
I don't know, however as we know these episodes are HEAVILY cut down from a two to three hour gaming session to a 30-35 minute episode with roughly 25-30 minute gameplay time. This usually means we see the 'best of' bits. It is quite possible that an entire round passed without us knowing. Personally I'd love it if TableTop throughout the season released extended editions of most of the episode from their previous season. While watching a full 'directors cut' episode of TableTop can be a long ordeal, it is also very interesting and you get a better look at how the game plays.
Hannes Van Wassenhove He could only increase them up to 3, so his ability didn't help. Also, the clock advances 3 hours per turn and 5 turns had passed, so midnight had passed again by the last turn.
I don't know what everyone else is talking about, I think Bill Prady is absolutely hilarious! I guess you guys aren't used to his style of excessively dry sarcasm
Was there a new mythos card at the end that we didn't see, or did Bill actually need 1 more investigation to win? Haven't played this myself but it looks fun. Trying to decide whether to get this or Eldritch Horror.
I was thinking exactly this, and furthermore that Mike could have added an extra investigation (his character ability) on his last turn to reach the 10 - which otherwise would have been impossible for any other character.
Marcus Östgård Mike can only add investigation up to the maximum on that die, which for green would be 3., The clock hits midnight after every 4 turns, which basically means in a 4 player Elder Sign game it should be one go around the board, so the Mythos Effect should have changed before it hit Bill's winning turn. I have Elder Signs Omens on my phone and it is arguably the game I go back to more than others because of how different it can be each time.
I haven't played this but I can safely say that Eldritch Horror is amazing. I used to love Arkham Horror a lot but currently if I have a choice I will always grab Eldritch because the mechanics are just so much more fun. It is a pretty heavy game, but if you aren't afraid of spending potentially 3-4 hours on a game (depending on how many players, how much you go into the story and how much you spend thinking about the turns, you CAN get it to 2 hours) it's an awesome pick. My current favourite co-op game right now.
If you have gaming friends eldrich horror is a good choice, but if you're like me with little friends that playing boardgames I think elder sign is the best way to introduce them.
4:20 Saying you don't believe in superstitions in this game is like being an atheist in the Forgotten Realms among other places. It's just living in denial.
I play a lot of wargames and tabletop games that require dice rolls, and I have to tell you, I'm true believer in the power of the dice. Playing as many games as I do you learn to respect them.
There are sort-of-atheists in the Forgotten Realms (see Mask of the Betrayer). In that case it just means that they don't believe that the gods are any more special than any other powerful creature. In this game, and many fantasy types of things there can still be people who can be skeptical about certain things. Just because they see some supernatural elements it doesn't mean that they have to believe in all superstitions. Hermione in Harry Potter didn't believe in divination, for example. Anyway, I'm sure it was out of character.
I *canNOT* agree with you more strongly. I sent Wil an email to that effect (I think it may have been on the day you posted), but who knows? Got his address from another episode.
I find it so funny that Mike is just sitting there playing a board game, hes a billionaire who could afford to do anything he wanted and he chose this. Awesome.
Well, at 31:19 he did role a 3, but didn't focus it. If he did he would have won even with the mythos curse thing. So, I still believe he won it for them. :D
Danielle Kreeger Small point: You can only focus a die after you fail to complete a task. Because he completed the 2 skulls, he's not allowed focus. He could have spell locked it, though, so same thing different method.
So Wil said they lose if Hastur wakes up, so if its automatically lose the game then why does Hastur have stats you can roll against or mechanics for attacking?
+Intoxicated Meta Well, some people play the game where you can try to battle the Elder Gods if they wake up, but Wil & co. played by the "If they wake up, you die." rules. House rules, yo.
You lucked out, Wil. By mispronouncing his name, you saved yourself. Hastur, not like "faster" but "manure"... sorry about that, Hastur. It was the first word that popped into my head.
S. John Ross I dismissed "pasteur" cause I'm not exactly what it means. I believe it's the root word of pasteurize... something to do with milk. So it doesn't go bad as fast or is healthier? Manure was the low hanging fruit that didn't involve wikipedia. Plus, I knew it would get a laugh.
Venger Satanis At the risk of answering a potentially jokey post with a serious answer: "Pasteur" was the surname of Louis Pasteur, the French gentleman who invented pasteurization and advocated heavily for the germ theory of infection (and also invented/popularized the anthrax and rabies vaccines). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Pasteur
trebacca9 lol you say you aren't superstitious but you don't say a random non existent beings name. I'll make sure to say it every day for the rest of my life. You gullible sheeple
MurrayTheMac well the mythos cards are a big part of the game so yeah it kinda did. not saying its a bad video just my opinion feel free to like it all you want I won't stop you or complain more than that.
Man, 10 years. It's crazy to revisit this series.
Seriously, they have trapped in this series since I was in elementary school, and now I'm turning adult! Cool
Same
I only just discovered this game a few days ago. I've been looking at more games from Fantasy Flight Games ever since I discovered their Lord of the Rings Lcg last year.
So that's when Wil got his dice curse!
LOL and just curses
Me cringing at 4:30
Yeah i guess Hastor cursed him all those years ago!
"I see this game ending one of two ways: us winning or us possibly losing."
That was so insightful.
lol, you must be great at game night.
It's great that even in co-op games, Will loses and everyone else wins.
I know right! Lol
except he still wins because he is on their team
Cj cathead You manage to be Captain Obvious AND General Ignorance at the same time. Well done!
Thomas Thomani yay I'm a captain AND a general XP
Cj cathead That's the spirit! Keep your chin up!
Wil and Felicia pulled the charismatic weight for this episode. Good on them.
Michael Ames Seriously. The two old guys were sucking the joy out of the room. Wil and Felicia really had to pick up the slack.
Yeah I’m actually really bothered that one of them is tied to a comedy show yet has the personality of wet cardboard.
@@idonotexist23 Well, it is The Big Bang Theory
@@Skwerll It make sense when you see that guy humor dry as hell
"I had no clue I had a clue. I used that word two different ways for comedic effect."
That's no dry, deadpan humor. That's bullshit.
Sadly, as Wil seems to have found out, baiting He Who Is Not To Be Named can often bring unspeakable consequences. At our game table, we have adopted a house rule that strictly prohibits Hastur baiting during games.
Well your smarter than Will apparently.
Its very important to never be caught hasturbaiting at the table.
He also has the downside that the Tabletop was so good people keep re-watching it.
For every time he says the name. He gets 1 bad roll. So unfortunately, by re-watching this video. I am giving Will like 20 more bad rolls
That. sounds soo...specific. what happened? someones pants catch on fire, or the car explode outside or something?
"Hastur Bating"
5:04 Felicia Day: "You are a pretty little girl, by the way."
Wil : "I know. Thank you very much. Don't objectify me." lol
Wil Wheaton: "Suck it Hastur!"
Hastur: "Shut up Wesley."
"My girlfriend is Science!"
"WESLEY. GET OFF THE BRIDGE YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT."
" won't respond in character, because I don't do that sort of thing" ugh Bill Prady, it's a game and you're with Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day, fun some fun, man!!
I actually found his deadpan response rather amusing.
this is the man that created BBT, the worst show on TV.
@@stevencleere4912 lolwut
@@EightThreeEight its a godawful, unfunny show that runs on what is essentially "nerdface" and casual misogyny
@@stevencleere4912
You had me listening until you said "misogyny" unironically.
Take it back to Tumblr.
"Suck it, my girlfriend is science!" -favorite line
"Boobs are awesome. Girl power." - Wil Wheaton
Shut up Wesley.
"At least they don't have Old Man Henderson on their team... Wait, Bill Prady? Who's that guy?" -Hastur
"Air eh namblies be keepin' me wee men?!"
How is it that I'm only now finding all these connections!?
I like how Felicia always introduces herself like that's even necessary when she could be like "Yeah, I made all this". :D
01:05 PLZ TELL ME WHAT IS THE MUSIC HERE! I JUST NEED TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE MUSIC?!??! ALSO CAN YOU TELL THE NAME OF THE MUSIC IN THE INTRO?!??!? GUYS GUYS AND EVERYBODY PLZPLZPLZPZL!
Paul Savage mmm
it's some stock music, so it would be difficult to find online
Bro but I dunno the exact track!
Thanks bro also but I can't find the exact track of this! I mean I need help with this :S
'C'mon guys girl power! Boobs are awesome. Girl power' I'm with Wil on this one!
His dead stare into the camera really sells it
I get the feeling the dice didn't like the amount of awkward Wil was throwing into the game with the "girl power" stuff.
yeah
BOOBIES!!!!!!!!!
Boobs are awesome it is everything else that is the problem (minus 1 or 2 other body parts)
"Tentacle party"
I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.

Edit: After reading through the comments, I retract my statement, as the mythos card should have changed by his turn, they just didn't address this in the episode.
superline51 Yeah they don't show everything and skipped over that important fact
I don't know, throughout they kept switching back and forth on the extra investigation point. Kept saying only need 5 or 8 when that's what is said on the card, despite the mythos card.
superline51 you know that you can delete your comment right?
I don't like deleting comments
superline51
ok? why
That face every time Felicia moves the clock! Adorable!!!!
Well put together show...great job Wil and crew.
I am amazed that they can get guests like this.
"I see this game ending one of two ways: I see us winning or possible losing."
What an astute observation there Sherlock.
+Kyle Vanderhoof A reeeeeally dry and obvious joke though
Per Kristian Antonsen The dude writes for The Big Bang Theory. He should know how to tell a decent joke.
Kyle Vanderhoof with his team of co-writers....maybe.
Per Kristian Antonsen I see now that the team is to compensate for his lack of humor.
Kyle Vanderhoof some got talent for writing humor, some for getting them out from paper and into the real world
I bought the game after watching this and it's AMAZING. A great introduction to board games imo especially since Lovecraft is my favourite author.
Lilith Le Fay do you have expansions for it? The game really starts coming into it's own once you add the expansions. Kind of a bummer as far as cash goes, but who knows? You might have money.
Felicia Day is so pretty! I wish I could have her red hair. It's a pretty shade of red.
Yeah. Her eyes have a mysteriously innocent yet mischievous sparkle. The swan is in her movement, and the morning in her smile. All the roses in the garden do bow and ask her pardon, for not one can match her charms.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 wow.
I love how every one except Bill is like "yay cthulu huntin time!" and Bill is like "I want to go home."
Yeah. After re-watching it, Bill was just not feeling it. lol maybe was like: oh. Felicia day. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. lol I don't think he had to say yes, though I haven't a fucking clue how the channel worked.
These guys are doing absolutely amazing! Thanks for the walkthrough.
I like the little chuckle Mike Morhaime does at the end at the mention of "our show has such a low budget". The money that guy makes in a single day off his net worth would fund this show for a long time (or at least buy a shitload of bad ass trophies to give away).
They should play Arkham horror and make it a big series (that game can take a looong time)

is anyone else in love with the piano music in these videos? XD
My boyfriend and I just played this last night and it was really really fun!! And it was such a close game but we won!! Thank you Tabletop for always alway coming through with awesome games.
There's something distinctly satisfying about Bill Prady's dry sense of humour.
"The dice are trying to kill me" should be on a T-shirt. I believe all of us boardgamers have had that feeling on a few occasions.
Is Felicia Day the most adorable person on Earth? I think so.
She's pretty high on my list!
Me too, and the face she makes when she shakes that cup? Priceless!
Absolutely
Yeah. Just ... yeah. Sigh ...
Aye, she's a cherry blossom, sure enough.
I just got this game as an early christmas present and thanks to this video I now know how to play and show my friends how awesome it can be

She plays Tannis in Dragon Age 2, a character designed to actually look just like Felicia to boot.
gamester512 Not really into that sort of thing so I had no idea. :)

Dragon Age 2 is NOT a "positive reference" ...

The fact remains that Tannis was designed to look like and be played by Felicia.

You have to be incredibly intelligent and highly intellectual to understand HIS level of COMEDY.
Was there a new mythos card at the end that we didn't see, or did Bill actually need 1 more investigation to win? Haven't played this myself but it looks fun. Trying to decide whether to get this or Eldritch Horror.
i found eldritch horror to be deeper and more fun
I was thinking exactly this, and furthermore that Mike could have added an extra investigation (his character ability) on his last turn to reach the 10 - which otherwise would have been impossible for any other character.

"HASTUR HASTUR HASTUR HASTUR SUCK IT MY GIRLFRIEND IS SCIENCE"
Elder Sign for PC now in Steam ^^
I really appreciate G&S efforts to invite eminent guests. It makes the games even more interesting!
4:30 You play a dangerous game Wheaton!
14:00 See what your arrogance has brought you.
24:20 You played with forces you don't understand and now your punishment is clear.
30:40 Death at your own hands.
not so fast for wil, lol, have you seen him on critrole? the curse lives on, :)
what is that song that plays during intermisions? its so catchy, the tum tum song
what the riff ? im sure its not a song ..., your a beast
did you ever think about advertisting as a career
I was wondering that too! I've been watching a lot of these recently and I have that music in my head constantly.
2020, can we bring this series back yet? lol -.-''
I *canNOT* agree with you more strongly. I sent Wil an email to that effect (I think it may have been on the day you posted), but who knows? Got his address from another episode.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 yeah but without will
@@dicedoom7162 I won't say he's irreplaceable, but it sure wouldn't be the same without him.
When Gordie LaChance, *ahem*, I mean Wil Wheaton, gave Felicia Day a High Five and said, "Girl Power!" I almost died! LOL
4:30 And Will wonders why he rolls so many ones, this man just tempts fate.
Felicia Day looks so good in this video! I wish she didn't cut her hair it looks so pretty in the video.
Yeah i was spellbound by her this video :)
blazednlovinit short haired felicia is hotter to me.
***** A Felicia by any other haircut would be just as sweet
blazednlovinit :) that made me very much smile. Thank you.
I find it so funny that Mike is just sitting there playing a board game, hes a billionaire who could afford to do anything he wanted and he chose this. Awesome.
Well it was probably that or boring meetings.
my brother has a 'my dice are trying to kill me' T-shirt, which was a gift from me!
"Tentacles do not need to be naughty, do they?"
Wait, didnt they lose ?? the card on the table said +1 Investigation....8 + 1 from the card is 9 and they only managed to get 8, or am i wrong ?
Agreed
They did lots of time-skipping. The mythos card probably switched by then.
I'm glad I'm not the only one anal enough to notice that.
Well, at 31:19 he did role a 3, but didn't focus it. If he did he would have won even with the mythos curse thing. So, I still believe he won it for them. :D
Danielle Kreeger Small point: You can only focus a die after you fail to complete a task. Because he completed the 2 skulls, he's not allowed focus.
He could have spell locked it, though, so same thing different method.
29:35 Wait, Mike did it. His character gets a +1 that negates the penalty for the day, so he did win it.
+Septicor No, his ability doesn't give him a +1, it only enables him to turn any +1 into a +2 or +2 to +3 on green dice and +3 to +4 on yellow and red
Just got this recently and thus little guide/show is great!
So Wil said they lose if Hastur wakes up, so if its automatically lose the game then why does Hastur have stats you can roll against or mechanics for attacking?
+Intoxicated Meta Well, some people play the game where you can try to battle the Elder Gods if they wake up, but Wil & co. played by the "If they wake up, you die." rules. House rules, yo.
Aw ok. Cool. Makes sense.
Tentacles. That's what Felicia said.
You lucked out, Wil. By mispronouncing his name, you saved yourself. Hastur, not like "faster" but "manure"... sorry about that, Hastur. It was the first word that popped into my head.
Pasteur?
S. John Ross
I dismissed "pasteur" cause I'm not exactly what it means. I believe it's the root word of pasteurize... something to do with milk. So it doesn't go bad as fast or is healthier? Manure was the low hanging fruit that didn't involve wikipedia. Plus, I knew it would get a laugh.
Venger Satanis At the risk of answering a potentially jokey post with a serious answer: "Pasteur" was the surname of Louis Pasteur, the French gentleman who invented pasteurization and advocated heavily for the germ theory of infection (and also invented/popularized the anthrax and rabies vaccines).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Pasteur
HASTUR, meanwhile, was my old *_Car Wars_* club. www222.pair.com/sjohn/blueroom/hastur.htm
FOR GOD"S SAKE STOP SAYING THE NAME!
tHe WiiiIIIINGS!! Theeee EYES...EYES!!
AAAAhhhhhhhhhRRrRRRRGH!!
Oh Will 🤣 lmao! I also want that kind of friends/gaming pt
didn't they have to roll an extra investigation on that last turn and by that logic lose the game ? or did the mythos effect change by then ?
yes
Ceo of blizzard. Geez. That guy must have a Shaitload of dollars!
He has a shitload of gold.
Look, Wil, I know the Cthulhu mythos is just mythos, but still... Going around saying THAT name all the time is just asking for ill fortune.
There's a reason he's the unspeakable one.
I try not to be superstitious, but some things you just don't risk messing with.
trebacca9 yeah that's my outlook, it may not be real...but I'm not willing to risk it
trebacca9 lol you say you aren't superstitious but you don't say a random non existent beings name. I'll make sure to say it every day for the rest of my life. You gullible sheeple
DiViNEReject you're a fucking downer.
Felicia + tentacle chanting, then Bill "This makes me uncomfortable" = priceless.
Also the entire game it was hilarious watching Bill and Mike look so uncomfortable with Wil and Felicia's open personalities.
I feel like Bill would have been more comfortable playing if he pulled the stick out of his ass first.
Looks like Bill hadn't seen enough hentai to know what was going on
I hope this never leaves RUclips x'D
A Series of Unfortunate Dice Rolls: The Wil Wheaton Story
Wow, I forgot how much smoother the original intro animation was...
Andris Stafeckis funny you should say WoW...
+Andris Stafeckis
It's so much better, right?
but... you forgot the extra magnifying glass for two "sucessful" missions... you should have lost
I'm still laughing at the "bags of mostly water" reference from Will.
looks like a fun game though, just ordered it on the back of this video.
Mike misplayed when he only got nine, because he can turn a 3 to a 4. His card says so at the beginning of the game.
only on a yellow dice and upgrade to five on a red.
Ah. So he didn't misread it, I did. XD
Azarathian Mage from what I understood he could only add one to a die roll up to 3 , so he couldn't change 3 into a 4.
i watched this video when it was released on Geek and Sundry. When Geek and Sundry wasnt a sellout like it is today. Cant believe thats 10 Years ago.
I would have liked this if the actually Showed the mythos cards that came at midnight.
Your entire enjoyment was spoilt by that ...?
MurrayTheMac well the mythos cards are a big part of the game so yeah it kinda did. not saying its a bad video just my opinion feel free to like it all you want I won't stop you or complain more than that.
I feel ya; it such a dramatic part of the game.
love this series....makes me super happy... "Wheatoooooooooooonnnnnn!" lmfao...great seeing Felicia Day too...great vids :)
