      Why are several of the images upside down?

      Because Rodrigo pulled the rug out from under us, and everything is topsy turvy… duh.

      Great show as always, loved how the amibas forgot not to get so hurt ;-)

      P.S. Is it wrong if I think Stephen makes a better Torq voice then Matthew?

        It’s natural that Mr. S slides into Torq-mode more easily. I have to remember to play dumb. Stephen has to remember not to…

      I’m always sad when an episode ends and I have to go another week before the next one. I tried listening to only a little at a time but that works about as well as trying to make the strawberry ice cream last a week. :)

        Next week is a listener feedback week, so while you won’t get to hear any stabby stabby and fighty fighty, you will get some questions answered…

      I’ve really enjoyed listening to this podcast. It’s fun to hear another group’s gaming session and see what is similar and different to ours. 8)

      Matthew’s 20 sided die needs a cape and it’s own comic, I’ve decided. Saving mankind, one crit at a time!

        I actually have 3 20 siders, but the one that I use most often is a speckly red one. (All my dice are red, mind you, but most are semi-clear jewel dice.) I do roll on an uneven surface, though, usually my mouse pad. The irony is, I have no way to prove it, but my rolls have all been genuine… :)

          I do believe your rolls are genuine but it is uncanny how yours are so good and D&D Brian really struggles with his. I dont think i even noticed how bad his were until this episode. We used to do the ole burn the dice with a lighter trick when they were rolling bad. Another great show, really enjoyed Torq/Arbalest’s explanations of how his abilities looked, reminded me of the robot maid on the Jetson’s for some reason.

      Am I the only one who see’s Arbalest as helper from the venture brothers.

      • Rob on November 17, 2009 8:22 pm

        OMG I didnt even think of Helper. That is the perfect fit, from now on I will definitely think of him. Go Team Venture!

        • Luke on November 18, 2009 8:25 pm

          Hey if you are able to crossover the characters arbalests head can get blown into torq’s chest which would be the easiest concievable way for torq to multi class as a caster.

            And think of the arguments I could have?

      I also was thinking that any enchanted object is automatically a returning object so creating a captain America shield would not be impossible.

      So…Is Arobolesk a warforged in terms of race?

      • Rodrigo on November 22, 2009 12:08 pm

        yes, Arbalest is a warforged warlock

          yes, Arbalest is a warforged warlock

          He’s a turnaround jumpshot, he’s everbody’s jump start, and every generation throws a hero up the pop charts.

      Does Critical Hit have it’s own Facebook page? Cause it would be a decent way to keep the pictures around. As a latecomer to the Adventures of Torq and the Torqaltones I am rather saddened that I do not get to see the many visual aids that goes along with each episode.

      OMG, D&D Brian is the non-strikiest striker I ever did see (hear?)! He’s Matthew’s polar opposite this episode. :-) All in good fun though.

      I’m a new listener to the podcasts, and i noticed that no matter what episode i look at i can’t seem to get the pictures to show up. If i click one it tells me they don’t exist, but they do! D:
