Irish dragonborn necromancer candle-maker. I did not know I needed this in my life.
Blair Boggs oh my god the candles are just magical pipebombs
Necromancy For Love, Necromancy For Life
Nah death cleric still op
i quite like him. my grave domain cleric would murder his ass without a second thought, but i quite like him
Actually a pretty good Irish accent for once too!
Kill random zombie... somehow STILL an old lady. Damn you Vox Machina.
This is the best comment
What do you expect? Old ladies are their preferred enemy.
Wouldn't be surprised if Chris and Matt planned that out ahead of time. "If they kill one, make sure it's the old lady."
Epic pattern
Vex's real favored enemy
Gern meeting Gilmore would be something too beautiful for words.
Total chaos
This should happen....sadly this campaign is done but he could use them in other campaigns set in the same space. Reuse NPCs and guest PCs it's wasteful to not and it's fun when you see favorite ones again.
Melissa Ward Gilmore’s glorious candles.
@@rinconusmc in my campaigns I dm this is now canon. I might name the shops the same but let's face it I will not ever be as talented as Matt Mercer for his NPCs. I'll just have them be branches of his store chain lol.
@@melissawardjohns220 I would love to join your campaign just to see that! XD
Matt asking how Liam rolled a 34 on his attack and his answer being “I don’t know anymore” is perfect
An attack bonus of 15 for a level 12 rogue seems fair enough
Yes Liam confirmed has never cheated his dice or sneak attacks or anything ever every single game 😲
His inability to understand anything about his simple class or what modifier to add when has been mind boggling so far
@@a.garcha199 He was dealing with his mom recently dying, and newly diagnosed Hyperacusis IIRC.
@@lezzleee I'm on episode 71 currently and not much has changed, in fact his reasoning seems to have gotten worse.
The episode where Critical Role becomes a Monty Python movie.
Much needed relief after all the crying & scrying X)
I'm in the minuscule minority, but I didn't like this one, and Chris was pretty much the reason for it. Anyway, most people (and the players) seemed to enjoy it, so that's what's important.
@@grondhero You're not the hero we deserve, but the one we need. Your rationality legitimately made me day, thanks!
@@grondhero No worries about him coming back anyways so enjoy this one episode knowing that, due to the abuse allegations confirmed from multiple sources.
And every moment was pure gold XD
Matthew thinking he was gonna have a cool genie fight, but his boss monster gets hamster-balled and Gern starts an undead dance party. An over-all better experience.
I kinda feel like this is why more dudes started coming out of the rift after he realized how boned the Efreet was... :D
And his mobs got splashed to death
Out of context this comment is a fever dream
If anyone wants to double check my math that tidal wave of water would be around 22 000+ gallons of water.

Every time Matt says "...we play Dungeons and Dragons" I keep on steeling myself to hear, "WE PLAY DUNGEONS AND DRAGOOOOOONS!!!" from Travis, and when it doesn't happen I feel disappointment.
my brain for some reason thought travis always did this
to find no he didn't and only started doing it a bit through campaign 2
This is a dated comment BUT WE PLAY DUNGEONS AND DRAGOOOOOOONS!!!!! returns TONIGHT BABY, and I cannot wait.
@@mastadon6384 ITS THURSDAY FINALY
@@SPACEHARICE YEAH BUDDY!!!!!!
YES!!! I thought I was the only one!!
I absolutely adore how Gern's character sheet lists his class as "Necromancer / Candle Specialist"
"Roll a D20 for musical taste"
"4"
"It catches your ear with delight."
The lower the numbers are for the oldies and higher numbers would be for newer tunes. Roll for musical era I guess 😅
"Scanlan, you're up next."
"I'm spending an Action Surge to shoot it three more times."
"Scanlan, you're theoretically up next."
It's a useful version of what Tiberius would do.
what
@@Blasted2Oblivion oof, that's a burn
@@calebevans3690 burn implies tiberius wouldve used something that wasnt telekinesis
@@honeysuckel1351 true
You can hear travis right at the start say "yeah we do" after Matt's intro.
Seeing the first baby steps of "WEPLAYDUNGEONANDDRAGONSSSSSSSS"
that will be fun to see for the first time
"Volcanos are nature's candle, what a stupid question!" OMG that killed me
1:05:17
Liam: knocks over Laura's dice, grins
Laura: *HORRIFIED GASP* YOU-- /EVIL/--
Liam: still grinning, but also leaning away in fear
Don't take this seriously, lad. They're all friends.
@@Keovar imagine seeing that situation and thinking she is seriously upset there. try interacting with others more
@@Keovar Are you unaware that all of these people are best friends? There's a reason they spend hours every week playing this game.
The absolute sibling energy
The best bit is her husband says "gimme a break" when she says that but as he finishes he looks over to see Liam mess her dice up and begins to crack a smile
Vests for undead with "service necromancy, please do not kill"
genius!
@@Jackie_Tikki_Tavi Not really, I actually tried that... The guards, civilians, etc. took offence, killed them and arrested me.... This lead to a very hilarious courtroom exchange, but not the best of times for me... as I would have gotten the death sentence, if my party did not break me out before it happened
@@newtonianlaw3249 lol. Poor bastard. Have you tried offering them candles?
@@Jackie_Tikki_Tavi Nooooo... Perhaps that would have helped
@@newtonianlaw3249 oof. is necromancy prohibited in the setting you were playing?
Chris: *makes a charming Irish character*
Taliesin: *light bulb goes off*
Funny thing is, I never realised molly was supposed to have an Irish accent till Matt did it later 😂
@@nosiree7104 I don’t blame you. Tal’s Irish accent is absolutely terrible 😆
@@nosiree7104 this is true, and also confirmed by his friends teasing him on it later on in the campaign.
@@nosiree7104I stopped after 13 episodes of C2 to watch C1. Mollymauk is supposed to have an Irish accent!?
@@pancorleoneaparently
“I’d rather you have fun than not”
Not the DM we deserve, but definitely the one we need right now
2:12:59 ❤
"We're on a VERY important mission to get uuh...what are we doing?"
Self proclaimed leader of the group ladies and gentleman.
As a true leader he delegates
@@Kasino80 A true leader still needs to know what the goal is to be able to delegate.
@@ignisshadowflame1027not according to most companies they usually actively make it harder to reach said goal.
@@Kris-wo4pj Theey are talking about true leaders, not the half-sociopaths rich assholes that are on most of companies' executive boards. And I concur, a true leader always keeps the goal in mind.
I've already watched all of C2... now catching up in C1.
It is insane to think.... if I have this correctly, that Travis and Sam were new D&D players prior to this campaign. I know they are both voice actors but their ability to improvise is what I find amazing.
Scanlan tripping and blaming it on Grog. Grog believing him and apologizing. So good.
Omg I think I missed that, do you have a time stamp for it!?
Well
They had been playing for a few years prior also
And college humour's dimension 20 has a load of people on it at times who haven't ever played before, it's really impressive how great they can be, albeit with editing on their side
Still, it's really cool that Sam and Travis manage it so well
@@sammich7141 you must be a blast at parties.
@@sammich7141 i know what they all do for a living. I can still be impressed with how well they do though. Your comment didnt add anything positive. If anything it was telling me i shouldnt take joy from my surprise at the moment. Comes of kind of toxic. Hence my response.
I mean, they are actors, they probably have years worth of professional improv training. What's astounding to me is the chemistry, the timing, you can't learn that stuff.
3:15:35 "You'll always be welcome in Whitestone"
Yeah.... a necromancer will always be welcome... in the city that was dominated and half slaughtered by the undead. That totally won't get him burned at the stake.
Live and let die. 😉
Oh hey, they're lighting the way up for him, that's a very *warm* welcome!
Vex - My greed almost killed me a few days back, but I've learned my lesson.
Also Vex - Man I want that broom, Imma steal it!
@Dean Forrester AND from a guest too!!!
Yeah kinda was poor taste imo
@@jonholdsworth7560 I think it fit in Vex's character and I have a sneaky suspicion that he and Matt knew when he brought the broom that he wasn't going to leave with it.
@@fantasyfarce that is true.. he didn't seem angry about it at all. Guess it was the fact she stole it from a guest, and who was helping them that really grinded my gears heh
@@jonholdsworth7560 I can see that. I don't know if he plays Gern anywhere else but I'm betting he didn't really lose anything. It's all good!

"Can I modify his memory to make him forget not to kill himself?"
We all said something cringy when we first started playing
Me as soon as Gern mentions a flying broom: "So that's how Vex becomes a witch." 🤣🤣
I just ordered the Vox Machina pins now that I'm watching through C1, and I was looking at Vex's thinking "Why does she look like a witch? She's a ranger and now rogue, where does the witch come in?" The moment Chris mentioned a flying broom and Laura's face lit up it was just "oh, now I see."
Laura's being mad at "everyone having flying stuff" is priceless
Then straight up steals one.
@@trealosgaming3345 yeah, it's shit like that that makes me not like her at all...the longer I watch this, every episode, my distrust and disgust gets higher. It's like Tiberious all over again. This is my first time watching through, hubby and I watch an episode a night. He feels the same way. She's kinda gross.
@@mrskkrueger i am episode 71. I think i am at 2 weeks of watching. Helps my job lets me listen to what i want. But she gets her shit called out as time goes on.
@@trealosgaming3345 Thank you, that's a relief, well, somewhat. She does seem more horrible as this goes along. I do love everyone, except her. It's the backhanded BS that sticks in my craw. When she died, the hubby and I looked at each other and both said 'yep, serves her right, greedy'. I do hope she can be a better person, when Sam is pointing out she is a shit person, you know its bad.
@@mrskkrueger I do hope you can differentiate between character and person, some the others have mentioned that Laura is not like that (a haggler maybe, but not greedy).
3:17:20 - Gern Blanston drops his whole backstory in 30 seconds, drops the mike, and walks out. Totally hilarious.
you meant immediately start looting the CR studio
@@ViryLittlebottom guess its pay back for the broom
@@crodthesorrysap4165 This is why I love dnd! That broom doesn’t even exist XD
47:55 "Squeeze the candle Fatty Arbuckle!" I've never laughed at an episode of Critical Role so hard xD
Best part is Taliesin completely short-circuiting when that was said
#feelthegern
plot twist: there’s nothing wrong with the camera, the left half of the room just occasionally phases out of existence
Talesin Jaffe is just that powerful
Real life blink spell
I blame teferi
They are two Rogues they just went into stealth
"That's Coral, Stimpy and Fatty Arbuckle"
"Which one did we kill?"
"That one was Carol, so sad"
Why haven't they brought him back yet? He is so good at this
Because he is canonically dead in the story.
@@BossDragon3000 I must've missed that detail, although I'm mainly talking about the guy playing Gern Blanston
There were allegations of sexual and emotional abuse against him by his ex-girlfriend. After an investigation (in which said ex refused to participate) by AMC during which he was removed from their show, he was eventually reinstated since nothing indicated that these claims were true. His previous partners and his current wife vouched for him, saying they were never mistreated in any way by him, and while some claim that they could associate emotional abuse with his character, they were anonymous claims that didn't really lead anywhere. Some accused him of blacklisting his ex and those that cross him, but I doubt it's anything serious. Another thing that later came up was the fact that his ex was cheating on him, leading to him breaking up with her, giving her a motive. As for Critical Role, the character was pronounced officially dead due to the whole ordeal and they didn't associate themselves with him anymore which I find pretty sad. I personally believe he's innocent, he's a funny, energetic guy who knows how to build a good character. But hey, what can you do, it's all in the past now and there's nothing we can do about him.
@@thisrandomdude2880 I actually didn't know that, so thanks, although it sucks that he won't appear as a guest anymore
@@UnhallowedEssence It's the world of entertainment, looks pretty on the outside, but it's filled with a lot of disappointment.
I'm glad Gern was around for this one. The gang needed some laughter after all that happened in the past few episodes.
everyone in the party: "not to be dramatic, but i would die for Fatty Arbuncle"
Gern: "i would kill -for- Fatty Arbucle"
Matt: You all go into ninja-like stances and stealth
Liam, Laura, and Taliesin: *all immediately mime Naruto running*

Could keep Fatty from shamblin' along to his goal.
The Candle! The Candle! Alight! Came the cry,
And alight Fatty did though he surely would die.
No mercy! No quarter! No fear would he show,
And the demons of fire proved no match for his snow.
He took blows from their blades that did splinter his bones,
But our Fatty pressed on, unbowed and alone.
And when the mist cleared, all the foes were froze stiff,
But not Fatty the Brave! Oh, and it's pronounced JIF.
The Candle! The Candle! Alight! Came the cry,
And alight Fatty did though he surely would die.
No Mercy! No Quarter! No fear would he show,
And the demons of fire proved no match for his snow.
Though battle would end with Fatty nought but a rack,
Our vict'ry was won on that brave rattler's back.
So come raise a mug! Lend your voice to this song!
And let no man say that you did Fatty wrong!

And alight Fatty did though he surely would die.
No Mercy! No Quarter! No fear would he show,
And the demons of fire proved no match for his snow. (x2)

+Stormblade13 That is my dream for this show!
I would be epic, though understandable if they don't do that since managing upwards to 13 plus characters would be difficult, plus a large cast of NPC's.
I really want that too! Being a DM I understand it would be terribly chaotic having that many people but I thought there could be a doubling up system of some sort.
Split everyone up in groups of three and have them add their initiative rolls together. The group acts on the same turn with a time limit to help things move along.
If anyone can make it work Matt Mercer is the DM to do it.
That sounds like it could work. I'm not a DM or a D&D player (though this series makes me want to give it a shot), so I don't know what playing a game is actually like, but I agree. Mercer has proven himself to be a DM of the highest caliber.
This would be a good dual DM opportunity, Chris Perkins for Group A and Matthew Mercer for Group B. Totally doable, I think this would be amazing. Matthew Mercer, make it happen!
I’m glad that after watching Liam the last two episodes looking super drained and unbearable sad having a much better day this episode and looks like he finally had a good nights sleep! Love you Liam!
I think its more character development than him all together. He did get molested by the raven queen so after that he has to act as if he's conflicted
He was also upset about Vex dying
Bares repeating that Liam was going through a rough period of time for a big chunk of the earlier episodes. His mother was battling cancer, and my understanding is she finally passed just before episode C1 45. While he is a master of role play, I imagine he channeled much of that through his actual grief.
I'm pretty sure I've seen Vex heal more with spells in 46 episodes than i've see Jester heal in all of Campaign 2.
Beau: "You're the cleric, and don't have any healing spells?"
Jes: 'What do you mean I'm _The Cleric_ ? I didn't plan on being around people who might DIE!'
"Nevermind, here's a Healer's Kit."
'Thanks! How do I use this?'
@@kaneo1 not to be pedantic but beau didn't say healing spells but a healers kit.

Percy is on fire......matt is really really nice. Hes carrying gunpowder. being on fire should be really really bad
The pouch where he keeps the ammo is fire resistant... Duhhh
And all the candles should have lighten up! So that would be fucking terrible!
For the sake of simplicity, almost every fire effect in D&D specifies that it doesn't ignite flammable items/clothes if worn or carried. There's just too much fire in the game to keep track of all that without it getting R rated.
@@JollyGreenWizard Solely for gunpowder, speaking as someone who has always enjoyed flintlock fantasy type settings, I generally do not use this rule for environmental fire/evolutionary fire. Evolutionary is like a creature that naturally breathes fire (this includes red dragons of course) or fire elementals. If a wizard is casting fireball, yeah I'm willing to fiat/handwave a level of "I'm not trying to cause an explosion beyond the one I am in direct control of here." Though if the PCs want to open that door and start trying to use gunpowder that way with their own fire spells, I'll let them, but warn them that the gloves are off at that point. You've decided you want the world to work that way, you have to live with the consequences.

Um, Thomas, did you mean "exactly the same" for "kit" or "kid?" Inquiring mind(s) want(s) to know.
I know I am really late but it’s funny in an interview I saw Taliesin said that at one point in his life he was “the guy you know” he had in his truck something for any and all occasions. No matter what you need everyone “knows a guy for that” and at one point he was that guy. Kinda made me wish even harder that I knew him man lol I could use that guy you know about now.
I don't know how that critter got that the tidal wave would only contain 125 gallons of water. The wave is 30 feet long, 10 feet tall and 10 feet wide according to the spell description. That would be 3,000 cubic feet of water. There are about 7.5 gallons per cubic foot so that would be 22,500 gallons of water. Even if we're only talking the water in one space (as in the specific amount of water hitting each elemental) that's still 5 feet long, 10 feet tall and 10 feet wide which would be 500 cubic feet, coming in at 3,750 gallons.
So TL:DR, that tidal wave should instantly one-shot ANYTHING weak to water.
Sure come at us with math. Next you'll be figuring out thac0 on the fly.
Actually, doing real math it turns out to be 66,3 USGallons and 255 litres
@@alessandrofioletti6099 I don't know what kind of funky math you're doing where 66 gallons of water spread over a 5 ft. x 5 ft. space would somehow be 10 ft. tall.
The math is incredibly simple. 5 ft x 5ft x 10 ft. is 250 sq ft. There is 7.48 gallons/sq ft. How exactly does that add up to 66?
@@datmanydocris A tiny fix, but 5ft x 5ft x 10 ft is cubic ft, not sq ft. For the same reason, there can't be 7 gallons per sq foot, liquid's not measured that way.
Just google 3000 cubic ft to gallons... it's 22,441.xxx gallons - an insane amount

@@itisthomascasey No that’s Scanlan
Grog multiclassing to muscle-wizard is the best thing ever.
I live and fucking breathe for Taliesin's facial expressions throughout the first 20 minutes after Chris introduces his character. He keeps looking for things to say and backs out at the last second every single time, stunned by what he's witnessing.
It's goddamn glorious.
Scanlan should have aided in the closing of the tear to the Fire Plane, using his Cutting Words to sing that "No one's knock, knock, knocking on the Fire Plane's Door!"
Yeah It would of been better if Scanlan had cast the spell rather than Vax using the cloak that way Vax would still have the cloak as that cloak has the Dimension Door spell enchanted in it which is very useful since for the most part the only person Scanlan can take with him in Dimension Door is Pike while Vax can take anyone except for maybe Grog and Trinket
"Block, block, blockin' up Fire Plane do-oor. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah-yeah-yeah. Block, block, blockin' up Fire Plane door."

Matt: Look at this amazing map of fiery hellish doom with terrifying monsters to fight! It's gonna be epic!
The players: LOOKS LIKE A DANCE PARTY TO ME :D
Matt: ...bring back Will Wheaton.
I thought the cast was usually chaotic. I was unprepared for what chaos could be
Since he's not using it Scanlan should give that Ioun Stone to Percy. With his Magic Initiate feat he has only one 1st lvl spell slot per long rest, so it could quadruple his hex output. He'd just have to remember to store his hexes every day whenever he doesn't use them. Also I think that Stone can store and cast spells from anybody, not just the wearers, so it could actually be ridiculously versitile and useful.
Edit because I found this discription:
"Any creature can cast a spell of 1st through 3rd level into the stone by touching it as the spell is cast. The spell has no effect, other than to be stored in the stone. [...] While this stone orbits your head, you can cast any spell stored in it. The spell uses the slot level, spell save DC, spell attack bonus, and spellcasting ability of the original caster, but is otherwise treated as if you cast the spell."
Holy shit this thing is awesome. It's a shame they don't use it like... at all.
Can you explain why it's so awesome? It's up to 1 3rd lvl spell, which you have store beforehand using a spell slot.
From the description here, it sounds like it could be used by a non-spellcaster. The spells could be stored on days when the slots were not used before a long rest.
So you could have Grog run into a room full of enemies and cast fireball (using Scanlan's insane DC of 20) before finishing each of them off by himself
DAMN dude. You found a sleeping giant in their possession and it just goes unused. This is arguably as good as or better than Craven's Edge. At least equal in standing considering he could have ANY spell in that his party has available.
Spell storing items are almost always underutilized which is good because the moment people realize it gets really annoying quickly by how op it it.
3rd levels to non spell casters. There's even some decent 2nd and 1ST level spells that are nice.
Free spell slots even low level isn't bad either. Imagine a 3rd level cure wounds or healing word on a non healer that's free hp pots stored during downtime. 3 lvl 1 healing spells is basically 3 revives
The real question: If Grog rolled a natural 20 on arcana, would he have cast raise undead?
I was hoping for that to happen.
Grog has quite the excellent memory and it could be reasoned that some magic actually did rub off on him from when he was the phylactery of a lich.
Matt didn't ask him to roll without a reason, from a meta perspective.. It makes sense that something absolutely crazy would happen.
Love Grog's dabbling in the arcane arts btw :)
Shining Reflection I think it would have been funny if he did roll a nat 20 and Matt was just like, "You have a sudden burst of arcane insight, peering past the veil of mortality. You can do this, you were born for this - Grog the Enchanter. You concentrate with all your might and will the body of your enemy to rise and do your bidding, and... nothing happens, because you didn't prepare any spells today. And also because you're not a caster."
Wedge Skyrocket amazing ^^
Laura's reaction to the sloth coming to the studio is such a mood.
Just realized that one of Gern’s “pets” is named “Coral” ... just like how Rick Grimes says his son’s name in The Walking Dead

No, it threw everyone off I think. Especially if they've played at least three sessions of any type of TTRPG where an unspoken rule is to sit in the same places every session.
I've only seen about 10 minutes of Gern, but I've already come to the conclusion that Chris Hardwick is wonderful
Wow... how does it feel to be so completely wrong?
Please explain why he's wrong. I don't know much about these people's actual careers so I honestly don't know.
+Derrick H. Well.(and not to answer for the other guy) Not that I dislike Chris Hardwick, there was moments that he really unnerved me and ruined the experience (there was also fantastic parts) I really hated how he played music over the stream(and continually when they tried to move on) he seemed to take away from others for his jokes. As well the last minutes he made it about him and forced Matt to wrap it up because they couldn't continue the story. That being said it doesn't make him a bad person, just a different type of player I'm not keen too.
Well, mainly because Chris Hardwick is an entirely self-absorbed douche - a fact that he himself admits to, BTW - who always has to turn all the attention in the room to himself. He thinks he's funny, but he's more like the "class clown" kid who is just super weird and awkward in the most nerve-grating and entirely uncharming way possible.
I mean thats really a personal opinion I happen to love Chris Hardwick and his stand-up is pretty great. Secondly I'm just going to choose to believe that in this universes canon all dragonborns just sort of have this type of attitude so far all the ones we have really seen tend to have some unusual behaviors and attitudes.
Any time I hear Matt say " you can certainly try" I think something bad is going to happen
Half of the time when I hear "you can certainly try", I'm convinced it's code for "absoLUTELY FUCKING NOT but it'll be fun for me to watch, so by all means go ahead"
As a DM, here's a secret: When we utter these sacred words, it is only in circumstances of great hilarity to our species, to watch the character flounder in a half-baked attempt.
In non-fantasy talk, we only say that if we know they're going to fail, and it's hilarious. Eg the time my dragonborn monk tried to tame a chimera, HTTYD style. The only reason he still has both hands is the artificer using one of his invocations on Replicate Magic Item: Prosthetic Limb.
The more I watch CR, the more I'm impressed with the artistic talents of the Critter community. Everybody who has submitted art never ceases to impress me, and the talents you all have is something to behold.
And what I love the most is that it isnt just cool combat poses or general looks you all put out, but several times now, you guys have captured moments that are moments of sorrow, of sadness, even death. It is these depictions that tear and pull at the hearts of everyone, new and old, that has experienced these moments of tragedy, of life and death. It is these moments that make for beautiful story-telling, and for the community to give these moments a perspective shown through visual artistry, it makes the story that much more compelling, and makes the events that transpire with these PCs have that much more depth.
It is one reason, of many, why I keep watching these episodes of CR, and why, notwithstanding my own personal issues, I have laughed and cried, felt joy and sorrow. And if stories tell us anything, they remind us, again and again, of what life can be, and how full it is -- if we simply and merely pay attention to what is around us. It shows us that no matter where we find ourselves, there is always a reminder of what it means to actually live, and to show us that everything in life we could ever work for or hope for, we can achieve and accomplish.
As I've heard it said: Fortuna faveat fortibus, semper fidelis.
Thank you, Critters, for displaying your works of artistic talent. You guys are amazing.

Okay Chris Hardwick was pretty awesome here. How much he got into character, his character concepts and the accent on top of it all? Yep. LOVE IT!
It's unfortunate that he was extremely annoying with all the rude interruptions like the music playing and all that garbage.
Maybe in your opinion... But look at it this way:
Its much better to look on the positives on a player rather than negatives, especially when the positives completely out weigh the negatives, preventing ruination.
If everyone simply just focused on a players bad habits Critical Role would have no fans, because even the cast has annoying habits, but they make up for them with their good and fun stuff... Because of that I am a fan, and wanna see this to the end.
Agree with @Cory. The interruption and the music playing was very out of place. He was good but that made me cringe a bit.
