i havent posted on here in years but i just want to say the polygon playing american truck simulator in the dumbest way possible video with justin and griffin is the funniest video on youtube 😭 it gets better with every watch. i quote it so often

"this fucking belt buckle of a logo"

"gas me up, give me some of that good tan stuff, top me off brother"

"it's like a fantasy version of LA where trucks rule and cars drool"

"some of these steam games come out a little too early if you ask me"

"you'd have an easier time steering if you looked up the bad truck drivers hashtag and found pictures of yourself"

"can i get a bump from a road brother" "a real knight of the road"

calling the highway "the big grey ocean"

these are from memory because i watch it so often. let me know if u relate i show it to everyone god

Just imagine you're Clint McElroy. You have three sons, and you are very proud of them. They start a successful podcast which is influenced by your career in radio. One day on a lark they invite you to play D&D with them while your oldest son needs time for the birth of his first child. Your oldest son is a father now, too, and you're very proud of him. The audio you record of that play session becomes so popular that you're able to retire and make your living working with your three sons who you are very proud of (all three who are fathers now.) You get to spend your time creating something with your boys that you are so proud of and love so much.

I’m relistening to Here There Be Gerblins and:

[flaekjern]

there’s nothing better than griffin mcelroy completely apathetically and deadpan doing a bit while his brothers literally choke on their breath screaming with laughter in the background

[annehackaway]

oh sorry sorry but this is FALSE—patently FALSE—information because i’m pretty sure what’s better is Justin struggling to get through what is probably not even a very good bit while his brothers shout over him and also each other in the background

[ladyfl4me]

what’s REALLY good is when Travis and Griffin are deadpan bouncing back and forth with a bit while you can hear Justin animorphing into a whistling teakettle in the background

[cumaeansibyl]

what’s also good is when Justin is possessed by a Voice and suddenly he’s an unstoppable juggernaut of comedy while his brothers cry for mercy

[terezis]

For the discerning reclaimer, there is the limited edition version of The Adventure Zone: Bureau of Balance that comes with upgraded components in a box so beautiful your other games will be…jelly.

The game comes complete with all of the same components and Reclaimer Rewards as the standard game, with a few upgrades. The sturdy box construction has a wrap around voidfish design by Hari Conner, embellished with iridescent spot foil accents capable of consuming all knowledge and maintaining secrets.

As a player, you’re going to trade in the treasure from your hard-won challenges to go shopping at Fantasy Kostco. Why not do that in style with a 3D Fantasy Kostco card holder? Thankfully, you’ll get one in the deluxe set.

Other Upgraded loot: The deluxe set comes with 4 additional custom D20’s and 5 upgraded player assist coins!

i was wondering if you could put together a list of your favorite polygon overview videos?

OH BOY I CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THAT you came to the right guy

playing american truck simulator in the dumbest way possible - this is just solid gold start to finish the fucking camera angles that follow the trucks and how bad griffin is at driving and parking please follow Buck “Fat Rig” Foss on this journey

i expect you to die - a VR game where griffin is trying to defuse a bomb and escape a car sort of james bond style and really just ignoring everything justin tells him to do and killing himself over and over (good to watch in google cardboard if u have one of those)

1001 spikes - the best overviews are ones where griffin is playing the game in real time he gets REALLY angry at the game but things take a turn when justin turns into dracula (dracula returns in titan souls)

home improvisation - the boys create beautiful and functional abstract art in an ikea furniture building simulator 

gone home 100% speed run - not technically an official overview but griffin shows nick how to speed run gone home perfectly and this is just like a fucking ridiculous thing to do

probably archery - griffin is really bad at archery

hardcore competitive babysitting in whos your daddy - justin and griffin take turns trying to kill themselves as babies while the other person tries to stop them

elegy for a dead world -a sci fi story that spirals into a weird fanfiction about click (2006) and bed bath and beyond and alf

catlateral damage - i cant make this list without including this. justin gets tortured by his little brother basically and thats all im gonna say

have fun!!!

I TALK ABOUT THIS A LOT BUT something i gotta say once again cuz i feel so strongly about it is i think the music is a massive part of why taz is so good. like fucking CRUCIAL to the story and emotion being so effective and memorable. to the listener but also in the story itself its so important like the voidfishs song, johanns music, the crystal kingdom verses, the literal arc Story and Song etc

i think there were sound effects in the battlewagon race and some music but the first time music was really implemented into a scene was……… sloane and hurley.. right……. and it caught me so off guard and made that moment that much more powerful. and that first song (discovery and recovery) is one of the most simple and minimal songs but also still one of the most beautiful??? its the most crushing moment in taz up to that point but i dont know if i wouldve cried if that song didnt play. it creates such a distinct atmosphere like i cant imagine refuge without the rustic old west guitar of roswell/refuge/the diary of sheriff isaac and the cozy + familiar piano of the davy lamp. or lucas’ lab without those vocaloid crystal kingdom verses and sparkling pulsing synths in crystal minuet/the cosmoscope/elevator of tomorrow/zero gravity trash ball etc etc etc. and do i even have to explain the suffering game. like bitch have you heard wonderland round 3 that shit bangs 

more recently the reunion tour monologue and lups best day ever are two moments that i think…. are as powerful as they are because of the music. its become a much bigger component in the later arcs and griffin really didnt spare any opportunity in the finale. theres a lot of killer tracks lemme tell ya

my personal favorite is disrobed + the chalice. they use the same melody but with a completely different sound and energy and theyre both really powerful. and play at such crucial moments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!both of them give me chills

im really proud of griffin and his garageband/rockband 3 midi keyboard skills the soundtrack really enhanced his storytelling and the audiences experience. all his shit is on soundcloud but also buy it on bandcamp duh

[munchsquads]

this is so fucking surreal i cant stop thinking about it
