It seems for the most part they try to keep it as if it's a live show still. They often make "fix it in post" jokes now, but the things they're mentioning are never gone. I can only think of one cut/edit they did outside of the scheduled break. It's when they did their freeze frame bit. And then they released a short for behind the scenes on the freeze frame. They obviously occasionally add effects to Sam's ads or Laura's merch showings, but overall they keep it pretty pure.

@VexWerewolf Жыл бұрын

The ironic thing is that this is probably a more effective and memorable advertisement for Aurora than anything that they could've done on purpose.

Over a decade ago, the night after my mother read aloud chapters of The Hobbit to my brother and I, I had an intensely vivid dream about Smaug wherein I learned that he had a sister named Irurha. How Matthew Mercer managed to pull this name out of the abyss, and in reference to a dragon-centered campaign setting, is so far beyond my comprehension.

When Matt mispronounced Aurora, it reminded me of this video on AFV that I saw awhile ago of this dog barking out that very thing, but instead of it barking the actual word out, the dog just went aurrarar. It was so funny I couldn’t stop laughing. Matt’s little screw up reminded me of that and made me laugh even more at the flub he made.

@mayaenglish5424 2 жыл бұрын

@@yooooo8600 He's talked about it before, watch enough interviews with him and you'll stumble across it, I think he talked about it in the Between the sheets episode. Also during the video where critters voted on the characteristics for what would eventually become Orly, which I think was a Fireside chat, he mentioned it briefly, because the character has a stutter, and so did/does he. And various panels. Etc. Apparently he had to work very hard as a child and take special classes to learn how to speak properly. His dad also has a stutter I think. And in campaign 2 there's a brief moment where Sam and Liam are kinda being dicks a little bit about Orly and Matt in that very gentle good humored Matt way of his says "It's a good thing I grew up a Stutterer."
