Zac trying so hard not to metagame Colin's suspicion level of Raphaniel and Brennan trying equally as hard to keep Raphaniel from falling into an unrealistic obsession with Colin is not the rivalry I was expecting but I'm here for it

I need the version of Ravening War that is just Brennan and Zac having the most unhinged PC romance.

Between a 80 year old Radish that skitters around the ceiling making noises. And a Biscuit covered in Sus Gravy with a wild voice

I wonder if Windows NT 4.0 would still allow you to run CD-ROM games on it?

Alice plays all of the Barbie games, like Barbie Rapunzel. Her favorite is Barbie Storymaker, where she's made little shorts featuring the office crew, but her most often played is Barbie Fashion Designer and she's dying to find a compatible printer to get the full experience.

Sam just started playing Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. He loves it! He hasn't quite figured out that all the clues are puns but he's only just started so he'll figure it out.

Colin plays Myst and he fucking hates it, but he needs to complete it out of spite, and also the two brothers trapped in the books remind him of Chester and Norris.

Gwen doesn't have time to play PC games because she's actually doing her job, so she downloaded a sim on her home computer to play the original Age of Empires with the Roman empire expansion pack.

Teddy played Bugdom. Rolly polly babyoli :)

Lena pretends she doesn't fool around on the PCs, but she has every PC Doom title available and even created her own mods. She fucking shreds online and John Romero wants to meet her in person some day.

Somebody tried to install Worms Armageddon once, but the PC immediately spat the disc out all scratched up and completely unusable.

lou’s character work is always incredible but his choices for deli are so interesting and only work in this setting with this timeskipping plotline. starting out as this idealistic and driven young man who’s also a little inexperienced and naive and turning him gradually into a bloodthirsty warlord completely consumed by his own ambition to the point where he’s lost himself completely and the only way he can weather his transformation is by finding a savage joy in it is so appropriate for the ravening war setting its a tragedy but its inevitable that war turn him into this and the worst part is that he’s not even special. this is happening all over the world to all kinds of people because there are forces bigger than them that they desperately want to control and some of them, like amethar, are forced into it rather than following their ambition into that despair, but plenty of people, likely including belizabeth, focaccia, basha, and definitely karna in a different (although maybe more fucked up) way are following that exact same path

thinking about colin provolone thinking about “I haven’t felt lucky in a long time, and this is the closest I feel to being above water.” thinking about “I didn’t really do anything” thinking about how tarthur probably didn’t even know colin existed anyway thinking about it all

Forgive me if I'm a bit nervous about Gorgug this season. It's just that the last Zac Oyama pc was Colin Provolone, who was arguably one of his greatest D20 performances, if not the greatest.

Zac always does great with every pc he plays, but Colin was something else. He came out swinging with actions and words that were teeming with unspoken emotional baggage. The way Colin's presence affected the other pcs; there was this level of depth that I don't think I've seen in any of his other characters. It was understated and quiet in that signature "just a guy" way that he tends to be, while still captivating everyone instantly with just how raw it was.

Not to say we haven't seen emotional depth in Gorgug. It's just that, compared to the other Bad Kids, Gorgug's journey and progression as a character has been very... impersonal? Like, yes, he found his birth parents, and he found friends who appreciate him, and he faced his insecurities about his intelligence, and he navigated relationship troubles, and his trial through the claustrophobic bug-tunnels was a horrifically-uncanny parallel to how he's spent his entire life trying to make himself as small as possible.

But how much of that has actually changed him from the Gorgug we started with? I would agree that he's definitely happier with his life, given all the loving and supportive people that have been added to it when it used to be just him and his parents. And he's certainly grown into himself and become more self-assured in his abilities, even if he's still, and always will be, our anxious little guy. And there's nothing wrong with that. I've always liked how Gorgug was a representation of all the little things. The subtle acts and kindnesses that don't seem like much to most, but to some are everything.

We don't need another Bad Kid living in fear that their mouth could be shit-in at any moment. We've already got one-too-many.

All that being said, I just feel like Gorgug's personal story beats are much easier to sweep under the rug than everyone else's. He has the same soft and understated quality that Colin held, but they lack that extra oomph that pushed Colin over the edge from being just another guy in a series of dudes, to a character that the vast majority of us could not get out of our heads. He took someone who was anxious and softspoken, who ultimately never wanted to be violent— someone who is remarkably similar to Gorgug in many ways— and maintained that demeanor and core in Colin's character while still hitting us in the feels with character development at max velocity at every turn.

I think Zac gets better and better at this with every season that goes by. With each new character, there is always something that leaves me stunned in awe. And it's been, what, three? Four years since we last saw Gorgug?

I'm just,,, I'm cautiously optimistic but also going into a bit of a worry about what violence this man may inflict upon us

the way Zac turned on a dime upon getting his package was so interesting to me? Like Colin still hides crazy blackmail under his bed for safe keeping, but he also immediately became the wary skeptic, trying to get Thane to understand the danger they’re in. He shifted from “im just happy to have some comfort and food to eat.” to “im going to try to pickpocket the Bishop because what the fuck is happening.”
