The group was in top form all around; the "background" title card is a quick & easy "faq" & Mandy was an awesome narrator; also everyone seemed very freshly lip glossed, bright eyed, & bushytailed!

Great episode, it's fantastic to see that the series is improving on several levels. Can't wait for next week.

dammit... now i need some bacon
Was eating bacon fried with cabbage when I put on the episode. Sooo good!
Though bacon with amaretto and coffee, I have to try that now.

Excellent stuff, and the Beatles voice was hilarious. Reminded me of the movie Yellow Submarine (I think it was? Really wacky cartoon. In hindsight it would have been better to watch while on some sort of substance.)

Who the hell dips a doughnut in soda? That sounds terrible. At least coffee and bacon can both be considered breakfast items and kind of go together.

I'm curious to know how the pig balloons are kept afloat, I'm pretty sure they didn't have access to helium back then like we do now and hot air balloons were still a ways off as well.
Back in the age of goblins and giant beetles...?

Yeh, I didn't know there was a "back then" either. Though I'm sure goblins were at least still around during the industrial revolution....

Right, just playing off the bit earlier in series when Connie tried to blow something up with "TNT" and had been told that TNT hadn't been invented yet. And in the drawings it looked like the pig balloons had been inflated with something, I just want to know how they're staying in the air.

Pff. Next you'll be saying "hey, they didn't have tampons back then, so if one of the characters goes on the rag, their pursuers should get a bonus to tracking skills."

THAT'S JUST SICK! YOU SICKEN ME!

Wizard did it!

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I really enjoyed this episode, but I wish it had been longer. I like the new opening, and love the pig balloons.

i dont know if you guys got a new camera man or its the new locale but this episode was so much easier to watch.

also mandy actually has an incredibly sexy voice as the narrator.
I've never heard my voice was sexy before--to me it's annoying and loud.
Same location by the way. Just with sunlight.

Bacon flavored coffee WTF....you Americans have bacon issues.

nice touch on the pig balloons I just kept wondering how the hell you keep the air from going out suffice to say my mind didn't paint me a very pleasant picture :s
Bacon issues are not limited to Americans. Connie and I are both Canadian (and she's the one who brought the bacon.)

Was going to say that, but I decided to go for something more... subtle...

Oh man.. I can't wait for next weeks episode!!!
Speaking of which, how far into the future are you? (Heh, I phrased that very oddly)
Like, I keep thinking of the videos as showing what's happening in the present, but I imagine they were filmed a while ago. So you probably barely remember the stuff that we're watching, which explains why ya'll seem to get a kick out of re-watching it all. Right?


(Blegh, what am I saying? 5am not good time for to make communications well...)

This show is starting to make me wish I was part of a similarly awesome roleplaying group.

For now I have to make do with my Warhammer 40000 obsession.
We play 40k, too--

That's an interesting system you've come up with. I should try that out sometime.

It reminds me of another I'd heard of where they'd modified all the weapon profiles to more accurately represent their actual rate-of-fire and the like. I believe it made for a rather short game...

If you wanna roleplay and have a load of 40k playing mates, have you tried Inquisitor? The rules are free from the Games Workshop website, and make for brilliantly cinematic games. :)
A few years ago I was actually seriously considering Inquisitor, and I probably still would if I: a) knew anyone else who played that system; or b) Games Workshop hadn't axed half the range. Though I'm aware there's also a more traditional Inquisitor/Rogue Trader RPG that's been out for a couple of years now.

I was once part of a Firefly Roleplaying group which I went to with a couple of my (female) friends. I ended up leaving due to study/work commitments and the fact that the Game Master was rather creepy, which drove my friends off.

Actually, that's not a bad point! Zak?

Seriously, "bacon is good for you" is about as beautiful and stimulating a line for me and my old lady as "do it to me hard enough to wake the room mates." We think y'all are awesome and you should feel awesome.

Also, I want a Frankie of my very own to carry around just so that if I have some decision I'm a little iffy on I can pull her out and go "hey, does this smell funny to you?" Her succinct wisdom and 4% pissed response to everything amuse us to no end.

The "beetles" impression and the Goblins' voice cracked me up. :D

Also, now I'm really tempted to try bacon in Coffee.
...
Though I'm not too sure about trying donuts dunked in soda. :S

Lots of fun watching you guys. So cute.
I love Zak's voices, esp. the Beetles. :)

Please do longer episodes! This is too good to be so short.
