    The Darkshade Cavern caltrop pull is so priceless xD

    Tbh. i do a lot of late night pug runs, sometimes out of boredom ... done these pledges and dungeons so many times, it gets fun to join randoms, specially low level vets who are unprepared. That is where I encounter stuff like: no food buff, no soul gems, no potions, no experience, dps got no aoe skills and tank got no taunt.
    ..and also stuff like "afk cuz mom wants me to eat dinner now, I'll be back 30min" during boss fight.

    In a thread that has me seriously laughing out loud at numerous posts...
    This had me crying so hard I broke my glasses trying to wipe the tears streaming from my eyes.

    To the OP, @Sylance9, brilliant post.
    I've never got to do a group anything, as I KNOW I would suck badly, & hence never even try to pug as I'd upset people who are serious about their dailies & dungeons whilst I'm happy sneaking around slowly analysing where I'm next going to get squished by a "thing".
    You've made me feel normal...ish. :smile:

    I think we need to make an AFK BRB episode. We probably have enough clips now to put one together, lol. That was even my wife's personalized license plate for a while.

    I had to google possom, they look cute and derpy :3 but yeah, I would also think "wtf..." if I heard that from anyone on ts hahaha

    @Elijah_Crow
    I am looking forward to that video xD

    I have lately played a lot with a group, where you get called out on every mistake you make over teamspeak. It feels surprisingly relaxing and liberating to be able to yell "n00b l2p you did this, try doing it like that instead", while we laugh and adjust to the critisizm instead of getting offended and hurt. We all do mistakes, and we all call eachother out on the mistakes they do - it is one of the most fun groups I've played with so far.

    Little fun fact, we use the phrase "playing possum" to describe pretending to be dead or unconscious to avoid trouble, this comes from the fact that when a possum is attacked and cornered it will actually faint, this is supposedly a defence mechanism that relies on the fact that most predators lose interest if they think their prey is already dead.

    Ok @Sylance9... where's episode 3? :lol:

    But really, ever since you explained your group's dynamic on the first video I've really taken a liking to your videos. you guys seem like you have a lot of fun. I feel pretty daft about not seeing it from the beginning. That just goes to show how a perspective shapes how we see the world.

    Did you happen to see that ZOS is asking for video submissions? Perhaps you and your friends can do one together. Just a thought. :smile:

    I didn't see they were asking for video submissions @Gidorick . *edit* don't know how I missed it plastered at the top of the forums lol :). I'm working on episode 3 and maybe 4 this weekend so you might get two :smiley:

    @Asherons_Call Jim is the star of the next one, haven't decided if that one will be ep 3 or 4.


    Glad you all enjoyed it!
