Give it ten minutes, bro. It'll give you a hundred hours.

As it's a Twitch stream (uploaded to Youtube) it has an intro you can skip so you can skip to here to avoid all the stream whatnot you don't need to hear.

Or you can skip even the prologue to get straight to the beginning of the narrative.

I watched about 20 minutes of it, the joy these people feel is actually a little infectious. They're all obviously really into it. I gotta admit - though I've never played D&D, it does look like a lot of fun, and I'd imagine the more people you have, the more fun it is.

That said, I don't think I could watch it for an extended period of time. It's kinda the same deal I have with "Let's Plays" of video games. After a while, I don't want to watch it anymore, I just want to play myself, y'know?

Oh - by the way - I did give the Great Milenko a couple listens recently. I gotta admit - I liked it more than I thought I would. The beats were a lot tighter than I thought they'd be. And also, the rapping reminded me specifically of B-Real (which is not a bad thing). Thanks for making me finally give these guys a listen. I consider myself a pretty big hip-hop head (I think a large majority of my early years on MB was spent focused on hip-hop [and classic rock]), but I'd always had an unjustified bias against ICP, just because of the bad press they got, I suppose. I can't speak for their other stuff, but The Great Milenko is tight.
