First thing, Rob you are completely right, all arguments (at least all I made) are made on my opinion of what funny is, and everyone has a different idea, I still abide by those arguments, clearing that they are MY opinion. Anyways I still LOVE UR and I loved this episode as well, it was really good.

ANTX81:
was i the only one who thought Gary was going to be a bard?

Everyone who has watched most episodes multiple times should think Gary is a bard, why? Well in the first episode when Rob has to choose a class he says: "Lumberjack, who else is going to.... A Bard? A Barbarian, I don't think so, a Lumberjack!" Upon saying Bard in this sentence a figure dressed just like Gary is, is shown on screen. (So fact number 1. Gary is dressed just like a previously showned bard) Fact number 2 is that Gary is sort of music happy. He's job until now was to sing Roamin's intro, which Bard's are normally the ones to do all the "music" stuff.

Edit: PS: Also if you don't want people stealing your avatar, you should make them take it away from the select an avatar thing.

Anyway, if you don't like the show don't watch it. If you don't like the revisits of jokes, don't watch it. If you don't like how episodes are done then don't watch it. What a lot of you fail to understand is that your opinion is just that, your opinion. It is not the majority nor do is it the right idea for me to listen or even take your suggestions. In fact even in this thread, the reasons for why people didn't like the episode are each completely different. Telling me I should "do this and this" only applies to you. I get some people who think its the best episode because they love the roamin and gaary arguements and then I get others who think the episode was boring because all they did was stand around. On the ogre episode I have people telling me it's a boring battle action episode and no story and I should do more jokes? I can't win. The worst is when what you say contridicts yourself, sorry to pick on you Syphonz, but you say the quality has gone down from episode one and two when the repetition of jokes were even higher then they were in this episode. This episode did what? Uhh Sorc School and...? Exactly :/

I might just have to stop reading opinions on the web because they are simply to random and all over the place, if you don't like the show man just don't watch it. It's impossible for me to please every single persons idea of "funny" so I simply do it by how I have always done it and do it by what I think is funny. So if you are going to come on here and say the show has gotten less and less funny like a tool, then just do me a favor and don't watch it.

Well im glad that we hav the same sense of humor cause i hav laughed so hard at every episode. I love them all. I bet i hav watched like all of the episodes at least 15 times now and they are one of the main reasons i get on the internet lol.

Another brilliant episode as usual. What's pretty funny about the whole Indian thing is that in India there is a huge amount of really good Chinese food (along with the sock-knocking-off brilliance of Indian food). So really Rob saying that if it weren't for Indians he wouldn't have found out how good Chinese food is may not be a joke. That whole bit was just gold though, especially the 'I'm not sure which one of us is more politically incorrect right now' in Mike's voice of feeling hopeless.

Either that or I'm procrastinating too much at the moment when an essay needs writing.

You know, verbally assaulting (and yes, I consider this a verbal assault, considering you are basically saying that anybody who doesn't love your show should GTFO) the fanbase that's trying to give you constructive criticism, along with failing to know how the basic "select an avatar" feature works (or it being added after you started used that) is a good way to alienate different kinds of people. I mean, I still like the show and all, but this kind of tirade isn't good for my opinion of you.

About the constructive criticism thing: If a bunch of people are telling you the same thing is wrong with your show, instead of thinking you are above them and only pleasing one fanbase, you could at least try to take their criticism into account. I mean, yeah, you will get conflicting opinions, but if the main one is that you are repeating jokes too much or too obviously, then don't do it. Honestly, I myself can't recall any joke repeating itself in the early episodes (or at least not any joke that wasn't funny) but the sorc school thing is an overused running gag that never felt that great in the first place.

The avatar thing was a joke btw, in case you couldn't tell by my internet show but I do tend to joke a lot :(

Verbally assaulting isn't what I was trying to get across. I don't expect everyone to love everything I do and criticism in it's self is fine. Just it is absolutely useless to come here and this "This episode sucked, the show is going downhill". That's not productive at all.

I'm not trying to be "Above" people but my god the line between trying to be helpful and being a dick is so thin when you come in here and say "This episode sucked". People don't seem to understand that this isn't a big commercial TV show, it's one guy who when you say his work sucked goes "wtfmate".

Other repetition jokes? Lumberjack, Plan C, Monocles. Honestly, it's not really that big of a joke in this episode. The first time it isn't really a joke until I relate it a second time and then near the end of episode 6 I do it a third time. This episode simply goes back and relates to it again because it is exaggerated and silly. If you pick out every joke you didn't like to come here and tell me that's not really helpful since other people, most likely in the same thread liked it. Basically, 5 seconds of the 16 minute episode were not enjoyable hence the series is going downhill? :/ Elaborate on why this episode is so bad and what for example was a much better episode. I won't exactly take your suggestion as the rule but at least then I can see your feedback as feedback and not you simply just being a negative nancy saying my show sucks. Some fans tell me episodes suck when it's just a battle scene and some say it sucked when it's too much story and not enough jokes. This week you get the characters, in a simply setting just doing jokes and I got people saying it was a boring episode because nothing happend. I can't win and I'm not going to win but are the last 4 episodes in any way close to the same?

This is not verbal harassment but if you truly think I am attacking you guys in anyway then in the future I'll know better then to talk back to fans. Sorry but this is my work and I try harder every episode to give a better show and it's very discouraging to read negative feedback with little reason or helpful information.

I would have laughed if you made gary a theif. Great episode. Yahtzee better watch out, theres a new contender for number one spot in the escapist video gallery.

See, the thing about the lumberjack jokes is that they were somewhat funny. Yeah, they are a running gag, but Sorc school involves a much longer, unnaturally drawn clip throw in there with the exact same dialogue. If I had to take a random comedic genre for this metaphor, the lumberjack jokes are more like telling different yo momma jokes to the same person, whereas the sorc school thing is like saying the same yo momma joke to everybody. The only time the "sorc school" joke felt at all fresh was the converastion afterwords between R-O-A-M-I-N and Gary. Plan C wasn't quite funny, but it was actually something... well, natural. The sorc school joke feels more like a hand wave to why Sir Schmoopy knows everybody they meet than an actual joke or characterization, wheras running away seems like a good idea. And monocles: Yeah, that one kind of got old as well, but it still didn't feel as forced in as sorc school, because sorc school was trying to be a joke and a way to explain why people know each other.

Your mistake is in thinking that we are going to act rationally. Human beings seek things to complain about by default. If something was great, but we can see ways it could have been better for us (That probably would have made it worse for others - I myself for instance didn't like the Yu-gi-oh reference a couple episodes back (I've grown to retroactively hate that whole thing for taking my money, time, and dignity) but there are others in your considerably large fanbase who probably did), then some among us are going to say that it sucks.

If I may try to draw a parallel, its sort of like those people who complain about Counterstrike while playing it almost nonstop. As long time fans, they've grown to know it well, and so in their minds eye they've built up this better version of the game, which irons out all the things that annoy them. They have no idea that version is fundamentally flawed, because it upsets balance, overpowers one player, or whatever. So, even though they complain constantly, they still keep playing the game.

This is the problem with getting feedback on the Internet man, people are going to complain about every little thing that bothers them, instead of only saying something when its ruining the experience. And I am aware of the irony that I myself have done it too, complaining that I can't understand the characters and asking for subtitles.

Well the episode got a little slow around the end but I have to say I love that sir schmoopy's out for the battle was traveling back in time so they can avoid it. I never would have considered that an option and I love that he did.

Have to say a main motivation to start posting on this site is just to give amazing encouragement to your videos, It brings back allot of memories of the simple times of just playing PnP rpgs with friends that you often forget about on the average 9-5 grown up life.

Also on a side note.

It seems no matter what happens in this day and age it becomes cool to like the something new and fresh and then after 2 months cool then hate it. It seems Yathzee is now cool to hate.Maybe I am going crazy but it seems everything from movies(Evil Dead) to even games or books and music. Just seems insane its repeating now on this series as well.

P.S Have you thought about making a Petey plushie =p

Great episode, Rob! I always lol at R-O-A-M-I-N and Garry when they argue over some stupid things XD Keep being awesome, Sir Schmoopy of Awesometon, keep being awesome!

Rob, I really enjoy how they say they're being 'constructive'. None of it has been constructive criticism yet... D:
Don't you know how to make a criticism sandwich?
Rob should "harass" you guys, if all you're feeding him is negativity.
PS. When people ninja Rob's avatar, I feel so cheated. I think I'm reading his stuff... but then I'm cheated, as it's not him typing at all... D:

I love this series and even more I love the refrences to the Legend of Zelda show... "Well excussssse me princess"

...I hope this was a joke, but I seriously doubt it... How you can find my criticism not in the least bit constructive is... odd.

I loved the episodes,but what are the indian things called?keens?

I thought he wold feel worse about your fan art avatar.

He actually loves it.

Personally the avatar just rang bells in my head of "fangirl."

Then again, I'm a cyincal person and this is terribly off topic, so let's discuss the episode again, shall we?

I dunno. I don't think this is going downhill. It's more like Robert Jordan's novels were. He always took a couple to set up the next string of really interesting ones. It seems like the same is happening here. There's one or two that act as a stage setter for the funnier ones.

Awesome XD This is a hilarious series!!

When can we get som UR t-shirts. I'd pay top dollar for one with Roamin's picture and a big dialiogue bubble where he's saying "Well, excuuuuuuuuuse me, Princess!"

i was wondering the whole time why it was called chicken salad sandwich..

Dreadwins:
The sound quality is crap!! (a better mic is needed perhaps?).
It also makes it harder to hear what Timmy the evil say due to the heavy echo or whatever.

Also what about some of the stuff from the old episodes.
Like the visit at the blacksmith and Schmoopy's attempt to charm the enchantress?
A remake would be awesome!

But despite all this, great episode!!

well the enchantress turned out to be a dude and schmoopy wasnt all that good because of his god damn low stamina score

screwed up the quote

Ignore this post or ban me, either works

Cant wait for the next Ep, keep up the good work.

is it me or does evil doctor walrus look like penguin from batman? O-o
"well excuuuuuuuuuse me princess" ^-^

lol you said "alternate time lines" i wuz about to comment about alternate dimensions in the fist episodes but i didn't,

anyway it's: in the original series episode 30 plus something, in the fortress of time where past present and future is monitored, the herb which is now extinct can be found, they traveled back in time, however ROB stepped on a butterfly. destroying the fabric of time up to episode 8 and created ALTERNATE DIMENSIONS like - U.R. POD QUEST + U.R. remaking of heroes ^_^ LOL ... + a long fanfic crossover but nvm X_X

i liked the original one cuz the jokes r more orgiginal(seriously u use the same jokes a bit in the first few episodes) and it was funnier in a way.
