Group Rewatch S2.5P5: Nancy Drew Ultra Hardcore Season 2 Episodes 9&10

[mindcrack_love]

So in all the excitement about the trial I totally forgot to post this! Oops.

Episode 9: Guude | Pause | Beef

Episode 10: Guude | Pause | Beef

We probably should start thinking about Season 3 of Group Rewatch! I'm personally thinking we could do an old OOG(E) series, but this community is all about you - what do you want?

Also, Yuletide nominations end tomorrow, so if you were planning to participate, please get those in!

EDIT: I almost forgot to welcome our new not-so-lurkers! :D So glad you're participating! <3

EDIT EDIT: Oh balls, this is what I get for trying to subtly advetise. ffffffffffffffffffff But what are the chances, you think, of him actually exploring this place considering his time constraints?

I definitely like that Beef is so protective and careful and that they're still braver as a whole. It's something the others really needed, as you said.

And Pause's rage really seems like a shield for his vulnerability. He's talked before about depression and anxiety in the years between when he finished high school and when he started doing Youtube full time, especially in the last "regular job" he had, and I think he expresses that in his rageiness. I think you see that vulnerability a lot in how he handles his often angry Youtube audience; contrast it to, say, Etho or Doc, who also troll but handle things much more gracefully.

I'd really love to see someone explore that concept, of Pause's anger and his sadness and how the others in his life help him cope - especially Beef, who is the most even-tempered person ever. (Seriously, not even cursing taking three villagers over thousands of blocks, including over an ocean? HOW DO YOU EVEN, VINTAGEBEEF.)

I would totally be up for some single player LPs in the future, but I kind of want to feature major co-op when I can, because I think (with or without the shippiness) that's one of the most fascinating things about this server - how everyone plays off of each other, and how strong these friendships can be, even over the Internet.

That's how I see it too, that the rage is often a defense mechanism to avoid having to show or deal with the darker parts of himself. And I really like the contrast you pointed out with Beef being so even tempered (and my god, that episode with the villagers was priceless).

Oh yeah, that makes sense, wanting to do more collab stuff for the rewatch. The interactions are definitely one of my favorite things about the server too.

Sorry I'm late folks, just finally got around to watching these two episodes and they were great. You're right I think about Pause's rage thing being a cover up. And it came out as that when he sort of did that sweet apology, which is awesome.

It seems like Guude and Beef both had more than 11,000 subs at this point, which is amusing. Do we know how many Etho had comparatively at this time? It's crazy to see how far they've come in such a short time. In fact my whole perception of time with Mindcrack is skewed. Part of me feels like this was recorded SO LONG AGO!!!!!!!11 but in reality it wasn't even a year ago. Just so crazy how fast everything has grown up around these guys.

I had more to say about the episodes, but I'm really tired and this thread is probably already a bit old, so I'll just grin and say yay!
