I am behind on Nein Again and c4 is not going to help. But I am watching the Genie fight and it is so fun to watch them be SO excited about the little fog machine and then jump to c4 where they have the table shaker.

"Normal and Achievable!"
Nein Again Episode 34 - "Encroaching Waters"
(19) Oh my god I forgot Orly turned himself into a bagpipe
(37) Fjord is always getting himself into situations with women
(43) I love the undertones in Fjord's conversation about Sabian. "an old friend" "owe him some money"
(52) Caduceus: "Do you believe in destiny? … Well you dream about islands and you go to them" He's so right for this
(58) Stay on task Widogast!
(1:16) I love the idea that Beau just has an amazing talent for improv. And that she can just turn off the asshole-ishness by pretending to be someone else Tracy is making everyone at the table take psychic damage
(1:47) Got to love using suggestion on your friends (it's for the good of the party. I promise it will only traumatize you a little)
(3:12) Thunderstep is such a badass spell when used well. And Travis always uses it so well
(3:30) Jester's immediate disappointment at having to be the healer xD
(3:42) Sam makes such a good point about the escalation of violence in DnD. But also relevant to that is the way hp scales for enemies, cause like Algor (no idea how its spelled) should probably only have like 15 hit points, in which case they probably could've used more normal means to disable him. But that would make him an easy villain so of course he needs more, which means you have to use more aggressive attacks
(3:44) Nott is so ride or die for Caleb, I love it. Nothing else matters but saving her boy <3
(3:46) Fjord's just like, don't worry about it, I will single-handedly carry this fight (with some help from fireball). And he's RIGHT
(4:08) Fjord: "I want to cut his hand off"
Nein Again music for Episode 34: Encroaching Waters under the cut! The music was pretty quiet this week, so it was difficult to make out during heavy dialogue. Still got several!
Yes, I Do... from Witcher III begins near the end of Sam's ad read and plays through the announcements.
Twin Elms from Pillars of Eternity began at the end of the announcements and continued through the start of Matt's recap.
At about 12:30, most of the way through the announcements, King Bran's Final Voyage plays. It shares several motifs with Farewell, Old Friend, and both are funeral songs.
Matt switches to a tavern music compilation as the Nein discuss how to approach Orly. It begins at 14:05 or so with Stonefire from World of Warcraft, which is timestamped in the compilation below.
Lion's Pride follows immediately afterwards, then Pig and Whistle, then Bad Juju Bar and Grill.
At 25:33, when Orly starts getting guarded about Marius, Another Round for Everyone begins.
After that, Gallow's End from the WoW compilation plays as Caduceus tries to persuade Orly. I think Scarlet Raven played next, but it was hard to tell over the dialogue. At 42:50, Grunt's Place plays as Fjord lies about why he's looking for Sabian.
The next hour was too difficult to make out over the loud dialogue. I expect that a good chunk of it was from Skyrim.
Although I couldn't tell the exact timestamp, around 1:54:00, Exodar music from WoW played while Caduceus made is way through the water with Nugget.
At 2:09:40, at the end of Jester's turn in combat, Commanding the Fury plays.
Next is Silver for Monsters... as Beau gets whelmed by the water elemental. (It's the LELELELE song!)
At 3:06:00, during the fight against Algar and Xundi, The Hunt is Coming plays as Xundi hits half the party with a jet of water.
I believe Eredin, King of the Hunt was playing around 3:30:00 when Caleb went unconscious. Welcome, Imlerith is very similar, but has stronger horns.
For a Higher Cause from Witcher 2 plays around 3:44:00, when Nott rushes to Caleb to give him a potion. It's the heavy metal with a dramatic chorus.
At about 3:49:30, Battle 2 from WoW's Molten Core tracks plays while Matt works through some of the effects on Caduceus and Jester.

(beau) wow! i hear they're haunted. are they haunted? (zolezzo merpol) well, not haunted, per se. but there are— (beau) oh, you gave me a little smirk. they're totally haunted!
(travis) we're all just aghast. just like 😱 (marisha) i turn to fjord and i go 🤢.
(beau) i need a shower. i need a shower. (yasha) that was impressive. (fjord) where. did that. come from? (beau) i don't know, i think it was something deep down inside me that i actually really hate. that i—it's there. it's maybe always been there. and then i had to—let's go. i don't want to talk about that anymore. (jester) she lives inside of you. (beau) who the fuck is tracy?
(jester) i'm afraid you are going to eat my weasel. (nott) no! i had a lot of seagulls yesterday for dinner, i'm very full still.

(taliesin) i can thankfully hold my breath a long time. (matt) correct. the puppy though—
(nott) i just had a feeling overcome me, that i was—i've never done anything like that before. (caleb) do you know what the good news is? you're going to have that feeling for the next seven hours and 50 minutes. (nott) it's not real, is it? (liam) make an insight check. (sam) i'll just start drinking.
(matt) you are whelmed by the elemental.
(sam) h2 oh, no!
(nott) water is terrible. it tried to kill us! it actively wants to kill us!
(nott) are you okay? do you need healing? because caduceus can heal you. (jester) he's really good at it.

(sam) matt is repairing an aquarium during our game tonight. (taliesin) to be fair, there is nothing better than dungeons & aquarium repair.
(matt) make an acrobatics check. If you want to try. with disadvantage, because they're slick, moist walls.
(matt) i'll allow you to make it as far as here without using any movement. (marisha) i will accept that. (sam) you have to accept that.
(taliesin) guess who's gonna be healing. (laura) oh, fuck. okay.
(laura) he's bringing out the hentai. (liam) cthulhu's dick.

ashley: 9. yeah, i even have a plus to my initiative this time around. i still rolled low. i rolled a 7. 😌
I need to go back and watch beau romance that poor guard because it feels like Traci's character (she feels like an i not a y or ey) required a lot of hair flipping
I was doing the "Surprise, motherfucker!" meme right along with them, and then Laura rolls a Natural 20.
Those dice, motherfucker!
Wouldn't it be funny if they got all the way to Algar, and Jester yells, "Stop harassing my mom!", and he's like, "Ugh, she has a kid? Fuck that, I'm out!"
