We Have Darkvision

It really seems like all of the Gang’s plans are going down the drain. Nubz has accidentally given El Diablo an incredibly powerful tool and Bort yarfs. A lot. Oh also, it looks like a lot of people are going to die in the very near future. Oops?

“Hello my baby, Hello my honey, hello my rag time gal,Send me a fish by wire.Baby, my home’s a mire”–The Bullywug mating call

I hope you brought your boots, because this week we’re getting deep in the muck with the delusional amphibians known as Bullywug.

They’re greedy. They’re needy. And they live where it’s reedy.

They call the swamp their home and really want you to be impressed by them. Bullywugs are pretty much regular frogs, but they stand upright. Which, in our opinion, makes them a little creepy.

But creepy or not, the real reason we’re here is to determine whether or not they’re a friend of a fiend. Join Kyle and Alex to find out what they say, then let us know what you think. Could you hang out with these hoppy boys? Or would you shun them, like we should all shun Crazy Frog?

The Gang has been split up. Nubz and Captain Endicott execute the first part of their multi phase plan to kill El Diablo, destroy the Gex and close the shimmering tear. Bort and Kroy grind up a squirrel and make a new type of burger. Looks like one team is not taking this seriously. Let’s see how this turns out.

“Faster than a speeding Bulette! More powerful than a… Bulette? Able to leap tall, uhh… Bulettes… in a single… umm… Bulette”-This goof on a Superman quote really falls apart the longer it goes on.

This week Kyle and Alex learn all about how to pronounce the word ‘Bulette’. And once that’s out of the way, they learn about Bulettes themselves.

Turns out they’re basically Ankheg’s that don’t have any fucks left to give.

The episode also takes a turn into the realm of book recommendations, when Kyle remembers an old sci-fi book he read that features Land Sharks (that’s a nickname for bulettes). There’s a little bit of everything in this episodes.

So give it a listen, then let us know what you think. Are Bulettes Friends or Fiends?

On this week’s episode of ‘We Have Darkvision′ The Gang formally reunites with Raf. Nubz formulates a plan to infiltrate the Gex’s hideout that could very well spell the end for Captain Endicott and herself. Bort and Kroy spend their time discussing the merits of choosing capitalism over friendship.

“If you go down in the woods todayYou’re in for a big surpriseIf you go down in the woods todayYou’ll be made into stir fry”– Bugbears Picnic

Bugbears might sound cute, but believe me they are anything but. Whatever you’re picturing is probably wrong. Unless you’re picturing a roid raging Grizzly Bear with a level of cunning on par with Yogi Bear. Except the Bugbear’s Pic-a-nic Basket is probably filled with human body parts instead of your standard bologna sandwich.

But, hey, Yogi Bear isn’t such a  bad dude. So maybe Bugbears aren’t so bad either.

Join Kyle and Alex to find out if Bugbears are Friends or Fiends.

On this week’s episode of ‘We Have Darkvision′ The Gang puts their stealth sailing skills to the test. Then, while trying to enter the lighthouse, they get into a tussle with some Gex. Captain Endicott learns an important lesson about Gex anatomy when The Gang fills him in on the ‘smash their kneecaps’ policy.

I don’t want to ruin the whole origin story here, but I will say this: Blights have the silliest origin and I am so totally on board with it. The plants come from vampires. How? What? Why? Plants don’t drink blood!

That’s a fun movie! So Blights are probably friends, right? Oh, but Vampires are bad. So maybe Blights are fiends.

On this week’s episode of ‘We Have Darkvision′ The Gang picks up some new swag then heads out to Deal with some Gex. They also meet up with Captain Endicott, a dwarven smuggler. Oh, and did they really just meet Sef’s mom?

“Bone Jaw is ready!”-A quote from the better version of The Macho Man Randy Savage’s Spider-Man.

This episode is a big one. The Beholder and it’s entire evolution line are some of the most iconic Dungeons and Dragons creatures of all time, so naturally, there is a lot to say about them.

On the one hand, it’s nice to have so much established lore for Beholders, Death Tyrants and Spectators. It makes the world seem more fleshed out. On the other hand, when all that lore is about them being c-tiered level Saturday morning cartoon villains hell-bent on world domination, well, everything becomes a little less nice. Also, they’re probably sticky, which is gross.

You can probably guess what Kyle and Alex think about these guys, but just to be sure, why not give the episode a listen and see whether the Beholder is a friend or a fiend.
