    Mines of Moria. I was waiting for goblins to start crawling down from the pillars and Eric and Kyde to draw their broadswords and make a last stand all while continuing to film and talk us through what's going on. Glad that didn't happen.

  • @Dios67
    @Dios67 Před 3 lety +22

    As another person said, very Mines of Moria like. That noise overhead was actually a fool of a Took pushing a chained skeleton down a well. I can see Eric fighting a Balrog to save Kyde "run, you fool!" Get better you two, chicken soup and OJ.

    This gigantic water draining system is very needed because essentially much of Tokyo is built essentially on a gigantic river delta. And it proved its worth during several bouts of heavy rain and typhoons in the summer of 2020.
