0:01The darkness is approaching yet again. The vampires have outnumbered us four to one, and our odds are not in our favor. It seems as if all hope is lost.
0:18I wouldn't quite say lost, as probably misplaced, or something along those lines. But either way, fear not, for Van Helsing and Belmont are here to save you.
0:36What can you expect from an episode of Daft Monks? How about dramatic storytelling?
0:41Like the backdrop fades out, and then it's just her and it's just all black behind her, and there's like [expletive] uh music going on in the background, and it's just panning in on her face. Exactly. It might pan over one time to see a Native American with a tear rolling down the cheek, like that old commercial, you know, where they're littering, and then it goes right back to Greta, and then like she's mad. You see the fire in her eyes. Heartwarming stories. So Corbin is trying to be like loving brother, and like puts his arm around Roscoe and Santa smacks his hand and like to put it down. Yeah, I'm like, what the [expletive]? Like, what about social distancing, you [expletive] in a red suit?
1:21Insightful tabletop gaming news and debates.
1:24Like, who's that much of a rules lawyer that they're like, oh, sorry, you have to be lawful good, and tieflings have to be chaotic evil. Yeah, like that's the only way they can go about it because of their demon blood. Like, shut the [expletive] up, dude. Like, that's so boring.
1:39And of course, quality and professional role-playing. You fight with a crossbow, my friend. I lost it. It cuts to like a playground and it's like in like the the set like the ball pit.
1:53Like, mommy, look at this. Timmy, no. Now recorded remotely. But I'm gonna miss that in person, you know? Yeah. Just sitting there zoning out. Yeah, watching you just rant on and on, and I'm just thinking to myself, man, I gotta I gotta spice this up.
