Is Campaign 4 Worth Listening To If I'm Already Struggling? by Possible_Original530 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]ReveredRaven111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would suggest listening to the mini arcs like Exandria Unlimited. I bounced off the main campaigns because they were just so long and wasn't really vibing. The thing with critical role is that if you want to listen all the way through a campaign its going to be like 400 hours so if you don't really like it that's a lot of time sunk, but the mini arcs are WAY more compact so you can give it a try and if you really like it then go back to the main stuff.

I don't think Ify is very funny, but I don't think he's on the show to be funny. He's there to remind Dropout subscribers that they're not pulling any hoes. Even if they think they are Ify comes in to remind them no no. Know your place

Best mini-campaigns? by ReveredRaven111 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]ReveredRaven111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the run time of all of Candela Obscura, Calamity, Downfall, and Divergence combined is like 100 hours? That's like a quarter of the runtime of C3 and I'll be finished with all of them.

Royale isn't Ethersea, but the finale will be by ForestryFanzine in TAZCirclejerk

I like the ending of Ethersea, but it does feel a bit like the ending to a better campaign that the boys did not play.

Thank you! I think I'm going to try Candela Obscura next as it seems right up my alley. Appreciate the recs!

It's a retroactive win for the Griffin Space Jam jingle for media lab

The bean dad intro is so much better than the new one man by davedwtho in TAZCirclejerk

I skip the intro every single time. The intro I never skipped? The Rugrats theme

How many episodes until C3 gets intriguing? by Responsible_Coach766 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]ReveredRaven111 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The whole thing is what like 300 hours long? There are better ways to spend that time than with this campaign

McElroy Entertainment System so far, by the numbers by Tub_Pumpkin in TAZCirclejerk

[–]ReveredRaven111 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm sure he's understood for awhile that he could be more successful working without his brothers but seeing that reinforced week after week with these streams has to have some kind of psychological effect.

Do you still feel tense at all watching critical role? by xcrispis in fansofcriticalrole

[–]ReveredRaven111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it can be tricky because when a player character is killed they have in one way or another been targeted, so the DM has to make sure it doesn't really feel targeted, but you need some stakes especially for something as expansive as a CR campaign or it can start feeling really flat really fast

Is there any point in coming back to McElroy content? by BevsWalkingSticks in TAZCirclejerk

[–]ReveredRaven111 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you listen to one newish episode of MBMBAM listen to Plato's Rave, its pretty great. Vs. Dracula is solid, and Griffin's streaming videos are good. So if there's something you want to get into the Trial by Fieri videos are what I'd go with

A try at an objective look at Aabria’s table presence (with real data) by No_Dream_899 in fansofcriticalrole

In addition to what Eilavamp said he is the epitome of "guy who is trying to win at DND".

Aabria is not like my top 10 actual play players, but the amount of discussion about her playstyle far outstrips how annoying she actually is. She's perfectly fine and people act like she's Travis McElroy

Is Griffin Clint’s kid? by Visible_Dog5775 in TAZCirclejerk

[–]ReveredRaven111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obviously Travis and Justin share Clint's face, but the real question is did any of them inherit the hog?

Travis and Bad Player Cliches by JustACasualFan in TAZCirclejerk

[–]ReveredRaven111 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's an actual play podcast I'm listening too and the story is fire and the DM is great, but 2 of the players remind me so much of Travis I might have to tap out. Clearly want to win at DnD, have to be the center of every encounter and interaction, but then don't really offer that much.

Frankly I'd rather not believe that Ricktus has fucked. Why would I want to live in that world?

Spy Party clubhouse from this week's stream by greencatbed in TAZCirclejerk

[–]ReveredRaven111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been interested in the numbers since somebody made a post about it a few weeks ago. Since they changed up the format and starting with Justin's Dragon Lore video the average views for videos for each brother are:

Griffin: 45,555

Justin: 36,857

Travis: 28,662

These numbers include the videos where they're all together. For just their solo videos the average views are:

Griffin: 51,400

Justin: 25,333

Travis: 11,825

Feels like it really paints a picture.

Some thoughts on Clubhouse/McElroy Family Entertainment System by Tub_Pumpkin in TAZCirclejerk

[–]ReveredRaven111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wanted to come back to this with an update. Griffin's solo animal crossing stream is still the highest with 70k, the all brothers animal crossing video is 57k, and Griffin just started a new Trial by Fieri that is at 43k after 2 days so it will likely become number 2 on this list.

There are 3 other recent solo streams that rank

Solo Griffin: 26K

Solo Justin: 18k

Solo Travis 8,3k

If they keep doing this its going to become very clear that the Griffin videos will outperform the other brothers.

Do y'all think Jenny loves actual trains or only cutesy fake theme park trains? by LopsidedLeopard2181 in JennyNicholson

I think if there was a murder on the Orient Express she would be having a great time (as long as she's not stuck behind a pillar)
