We seem to be overdue for some Lethamyr, so don't mind me unofficially filling in. I'm sure it just slipped our lovely moderator's mind, and I didn't want to pester her.

I really enjoyed this chunk of episodes. I said before I really like open world exploration, just because of all the cool scenery you discover just from wandering around, and that's starting to really come through in this map. I like that there's a few wools hidden at the top of a huge mountains or in a lonely cabin in the woods, instead of the more expected locations deep inside dungeons surrounded by mobs. It's a nice change from monster fighting when just the exploration alone is rewarded.

Anyway, some things I noticed: Beef getting on Pause for not picking up coal, their inability to stick to stick to a method of who is following who, Beef's constant "racist" remarks whenever he uses the "You're a ____" retort, and how they're always trying to sabotage each other, like Pause shooting Beef off his pillar or Beef getting a few hits on Pause when he has to step away for a few seconds. And then there was Pause's random "You're beautiful" moment. Aww. They're very much vitriolic best buds in this series. It's fascinating.

They're really adorable in this series and going through the whole "married couple" and "bickering like brothers" gamut. I think this map is perfect for them. It's intense at times with the mobs, but most of it is just fun exploration, so it gives them a lot of time to basically frolick and have fun in between, which helps cut down on the rage. Lots of cute moments.

And, weirdly, I realized I watched ep. 11 back when it originally aired. It was the first time I'd ever seen someone use water as a method to quickly get down from an area. I remember enjoying the episode, but for some reason I didn't start watching the series... Weird!
