Critical Role
2x25 Divergent Paths [2nd half]
I thought this episode might be a bit of a bust at the start — with Travis and Laura absent, Liam limited on a screen, and several of the present cast clearly tired from an emotional day IRL, struggling to play as the absent characters — but after a bumpy start, it picked up, and even delivered a particularly emotional climax with the exit of Kiri. How do they keep doing that?! "Thank you, Matt, for making this game work with half of a crew."

LEGO Dungeons & Dragons Game Night
This three-hour actual-play special was produced to promote the LEGO Dungeons & Dragons set and released two months ago. I've been meaning to watch it since it came out, but I've (obviously) been spending time on Crit Role instead — but as I've been watching so much of that the last couple of days, I thought it was finally time to make room for this. It's a lot of fun, and watching Ginny Di's behind-the-scenes video made me super envious.
