MATT: Hello, everyone, and welcome to this
evening's episode of Critical Role, where a bunch
- #2
of us voice actors get together and roll dice like
we're awesome nerd people, which we are. So,
- #3
welcome! We're going to do a couple quick
announcements here before we kick things off. You
- #4
want to go ahead and start?
- #5
ZAC: Yeah, I'm that guy that you can't wait to
stop talking so the show can get started. So guys,
- #6
last week we hit 516 on the sub-train. Okay? And
each week, in theory, should grow by itself
- #7
because re-subs count. So basically, if we break
516 and make a new record, we will do a giant
- #8
giveaway which includes everything from Heroclix
to Steam keys to D&D schwag, books from Felicia,
- #9
all sorts of stuff. It will be a giant box of
wonderful Geek and Sundry-related stuff. So that
- #10
is if we break 516, so there's a reason to keep
that train alive, guys. We are also very close to
- #11
hitting 10k. We are like 160 away from reaching
10,000 subscribers.
- #12
How many? 154 away from hitting 10k. Now you
guys may remember #noshavetil10k. I have not. If
- #13
we hit 10k, right when we hit, a straw poll will
be released into the chatroom, and you guys get to
- #14
vote on what my face gets shaved into for the next
week of programming on G&S. And it is very
- #15
unfortunate that that's how we're going to do it.
So tomorrow night on Gather Your Party, it will be
- #16
Stef and Jessica's birthday, we're going to be
throwing a birthday party, and I'm going to let
- #17
them shave my face in whatever you guys vote on,
as a birthday present to them.
- #18
MARISHA: So many things.
- #19
MATT: The possibilities are endless.
- #20
ZAC: Just saying that out loud honestly hurts me.
A lot.
- #21
MATT: It is thick, too. You can get some nice
dimension in there.
- #22
ZAC: Great.
- #23
LIAM: Words, shave words in--
- #24
TALIESIN: You could build a bear in the beard.
- #25
ZAC: I could build a bear. Yeah. Great.
- #26
MATT: Can we shave off bits and then re-apply them
to other parts of the face?
- #27
ZAC: If you want to wear them, yeah!
- #28
MATT: Okay! I might do that, yeah.
- #29
ZAC: And then this weekend, Nerdist is running a
24-hour livestream for Extra Life. You guys may
- #30
recognize some of the faces that stop by. They are
going to be streaming from our set. So, let's
- #31
welcome them. We'll be hosting it, but I encourage
you guys all to head over to Nerdist,
- #32
twitch.tv/nerdist. This weekend it'll be Saturday
from 9AM to 9PM Pacific Standard Time. I will be
- #33
there the whole time helping out, as well as some
of our other Geek and Sundry hosts. So you guys
- #34
should check that out and help them be part of our
team, raising money for Extra Life. And Matt, I
- #35
wanted to thank you for helping us make Battle of
the Bands a success last week. We all know that
- #36
the voting was rigged and that's why your team
won, but it was a valiant effort nonetheless. And
- #37
if you guys enjoyed that, you should tweet at Geek
and Sundry's twitter and let them know, and we
- #38
will try to do things like that for you more in
the future. That's pretty much all I have. Let's
- #39
get to 10k and get this stupid stuff off my face.
- #40
MATT: Thank you very much, Zac. Speaking of
shaving, let me take a moment here to mourn the
- #41
Mercer-beard. Those who saw on twitter. I was
trying to hold off until 10k and Halloween for my
- #42
costume, but due to work, had to shave it as of
last night. So, I apologize. I'm in mourning. So
- #43
please bear with me for this evening, going
forward. Couple announcements. Critical
- #44
Role-related: we have a lot of our party in
transit right now. Laura and Travis just flew in
- #45
from Toronto and will probably be a little bit
late to the game. Sam is currently heading here
- #46
from a session and will get here as soon as
possible. Unfortunately, Orion will not be joining
- #47
us again this evening, but hope to have him back
next week for Halloween. So, things will get
- #48
rolling as they arrive. Thankfully, we're at a
situation in the game where I don't think it'll be
- #49
too halting. We shall see. Next announcement,
we're putting out Critical Role thematic
- #50
playlists. All the players have put together
playlists of Spotify songs that they feel
