Epic Viking Battles with Lloyd & Ben
Lloyd and Ben rush down to the Viking encampment at Expo to witness the greatest Viking showdown of the year. And of course, provide more hilarious commentary and alternate Viking facts!
@Brennon showing that the crew have spent the weekends budget already
Haha, my immediate thought was it was obviously a great night in worlds bar last night, and today the Beasts are perhaps a little delicate
Dwarfs are never “delicate”! 😀 😀 😀
Ben made a comment in one of yesterday’s vids that he’s turning to the pointy-ear side, so ‘delicate’ is viable.
?
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
As I sit doing paperwork, thanks in advance for the entertainment 🙂
Day 2, the crew are getting tired, who will fall asleep mid interview, stay tuned to find out
absolutely gutted not to be meeting up with you guys. i was due to be there today but have been let down at the last. Its taken all the wind out of my hobby sails so i’m off for a walk to find some perspective. hope you all have a wonderful time.
Gotta say, I’m a bit surprised you’ve decided to run a paid raffle.
The raffle is run by geeknson not bow/ott, all the prizes featured in vids are usual bow entry rules i.e. comment and get name pulled out of hat to win
I think I am getting a bit jealous, I thought Gen Con had some awesome exhibitors, but looking at what is in the UKGE is making me green with envy.
I think ukge is the closest we will get to a UK gencon…

So the sound effect in the intro when the top of the ‘T’s’ falls down.
Its warren eating a pringle, isn’t it.
“The day I went”. Blimey it was busy, blimey I’m tired. I’ll assemble at least some of the swag before I turn in though
Been out with the kids all day, just back to chill now. Had a quick glance through the content from today so now it’s time to grab some tea and binge it all.
Another great days worth of videos to sit and watch through. Good stuff.
That whiled away a few hours for me ?
@warzan, @lloyd, @destiny, @dracs, @brennon – Just wanted to say I’m really enjoying the format this year, the blend of roaming interviews and sit down interviews is producing a ton of content that I’m completely failing to keep up! You’ve outdone yourselves again, I’m sure you’ll all be wrecked by the end of the weekend.
Looks nice guys, blog looks almost like Justin wasn’t evolved. Just kidding mate, all the love. 😉
