Matt Mercer is absolutely living the dream of a 90s nerd right now. He has famous and well loved company with his friends which revolves around them playing D&D together and has voiced Ganondorf, Minsc and Vincent Valentine. Let us take a moment to appreciate that one of our own made that happen for himself. Insignificant as it may be in the context of so many things going on in the world, Matt Mercer and the Critical role cast as whole are a triumph of good natured people putting their passion into what they do and even if only in a small way, so many of us are just a little better off for it
