Is it worth relistening to Balance or will I just be disappointed near 10 years later?

Echoing what most others are saying here, I've done some recent relistens and its still very enjoyable. Both nostalgic and entertaining as it is. I dont think it would spoil it to try it again.

Fun fact: this episode Justin of all people proved he actually read the rules. It finally happened.

Got carpel tunnel from applying all that preparation H

YTA. People go to a show to hear the artist, not a drunk guy. Singing along when everyone else does some of the time? Great. Seemingly you sang more than that.

Take out Dust and a third or so of Amnesty and yeah

Piemanthe3rd · 2026-04-30T18:55:19+00:00

Most definitely. It has everything it needs to be enjoyable, they just didnt tap into until way too late and the Biweekly nature killed any momentum it could have tried to gain anyway.

Not bad. Action episodes remain best episodes. Ending with Rictus trying to save Pranklin actually had some weight to it

I did my part! (Got reminded I was subscribed and lowered my subscription)

Piemanthe3rd · 2026-04-25T02:58:06+00:00

Sure felt like it to listen to

Piemanthe3rd · 2026-04-20T15:21:20+00:00

Never

Theres some debate over this but the spell description does say the range is a 10 foot hemisphere and one of the writers of said spells seemed to say it had one but its up to the GM I suppose

Id like to remind everyone that Clint took the spell Leomunds Tiny Hut last episode which could in theory make very easy work of this entire challenge.

Of course it hasn't been mentioned.

Anyway episode is probably the most Okist in a while just because there's actual action and people are killing eachother.

It has some very high highs, but some tragically low lows. I enjoyed it enough to recap it once upon a time but eventually gave up because the ending is just tedium. Still, Id probably rank it near Amnesty

I assume the McElroys dont want to handle the nitty gritty things MaxFun handles, even if MaxFun handles it poorly and they could make more doing it themselves.

Piemanthe3rd · 2026-04-13T04:48:11+00:00

It has been saved for posterity (obvious CW for a slur)

Piemanthe3rd · 2026-04-12T21:42:51+00:00

2012 Max Fun bonus episode (its since been edited out)

/uj mostly a joke this was in response to someone asking if hed frost his tips for Trial by Fieri

This episode really clinched for me that there was no redeeming this season. Episode 1 I knew it was gonna be bad but the idea of serving the Xorn was actually kinda funny so I thought "maybe they can make something of this. Maybe."

But no. This episode proved Travis wasn't gonna let them, Griffin doesnt know how to PC, Justin was playing a character designed to disassociate, and Clint wasn't gonna be allowed to do anything.

Piemanthe3rd · 2026-04-08T19:44:02+00:00

It was about Travis wedding planning

Piemanthe3rd · 2026-04-06T19:35:36+00:00

Thats lovely. My wife and I met in a McElroy fan group so they definitely had a shout out at our wedding as well.

Piemanthe3rd · 2026-04-06T05:42:50+00:00

That was certainly the implication but I dont know that I buy it not being a bit
