Oh my gosh! Matt, get the net! Dude, I'm serious, this might be my PB. Paper mouth. Welcome all back to the channel, everybody! Man, full sunscreen on the feet right now. It's much needed. Yesterday was a little bit of a situation. You have gotten schizorged. That's nuclear. It's bad. So here's the situation we got going on here, folks. First of all, gogansquad.com Fourth of July threads going on, including our new Squad Tech limited edition hoodie.  Make sure to get you a nice cap on your face. Represent that red, white, blue out there on the water this year. Just don't get too red. Lake down in the description, folks. Okay, so here we are at Lake Fork. Me and Matt were just over at a lake not too far from here, Cedar Creek Lake, and found a little bit of crappie action. Seemed kind of good. And then you were just here with our buddy, LunkersTV, just a bit ago. And you guys called me and you were like, there's crappie everywhere, there's crappie. I'm like, how many have you caught? You're like, done. We're bass fishing. I'm like, what do you do? Oh my gosh, already. First little pile we come across. We're not even out of the marinias. June and early summer, when all the crappie and bass, too, when they start to move offshore, especially in a lake that has trees like this, it can be some of the most incredible fishing that you do just by sitting in one spot. That's what we're going to try to do here. I've got some old waypoints. We'll search out some new stuff. But I've got a green cooler here behind me. The goal is to fill that thing up with some delicious pork chops of the lake. So that's what we're going to do. All right, I got to remember how to run out of here first.  So let's take our time. Be careful. Um, yeah, we're about to catch them. That's about all there is to that. Fish on. Are you the first one to catch one? Oh, that's a keeper. Nice, beautiful. Just look at him. Dude, look at that freaking guy.  Is that like extra bonus points? That's bonus points, man. You know how tasty that thing is going to be? Well, it didn't take long for Matt to, uh, pump into the first one here. Barely got my GoPro on. Beautiful color on that guy, too. I think he wanted that one. That's, uh, that's probably one of the first crappie caught on the Guggen Finesse. Finesse light. Felt a good pop on him. Let's see. Actually, we'll just go ahead and throw them on ice. Get them chilled down here.  You got bit like three times, right? Yeah. So this is an eighth ounce jig head, y'all. And just got a little, you know, shad looking plastic on there. I've got a 10 pound leader on, I think this is 10 pound braid as well. And, um, just making a little pitch out in front. There's a tree down here. We're just doing the swing method. So we're going to let that crappie jig swing into the fish. And you're looking for your line to just twitch, pop. Yes. Got to bend it back. Oh, oh, got him. Oh my gosh. Literally had him on the line. Got him. Literally like two feet down. Oh my gosh. Giant. This is a giant. Look at this thing. I got going on here. That thing was five feet under the trolling motor. I literally just had a rod's length of line out.  This is the huddle house going. Yes, there's a story behind why we're here today. Just above them. That one's rising up. Come get it. Yep. You're about to get got him. No, he's looking at it though. He's still on it. He came away from the ponds to get some. Here we go. Here he comes. Got him. Got him. Oh, God, he came off. Having a little hookup issue here. Got him. That was such a light bite. Little guy throwing back. Oh gosh. That was a beautiful hit to watch right there. Love to see it. You're going home. No. It's the moment I said, you're going home. He was like, nope, no, not. And now I'm going to go tell all of my friends not to buy your lure. I think we have to get on top of them because the last two that I've caught, it's like straight up dangle. Got him. Take her easy. Take her easy on the reel. There we go. Light bite. Oh gosh. I almost lost that one too. I just took it really easy on that fish and look at the hole that's in its mouth right here. So very much different than a winter fish who's going to have a, you know, a much, much stiffer lip, I guess you could say. We are 10 inches.  Oh gosh. That was not a gentle pull up. I mean, they just want to look at it. Sometimes they just like to look at it. I think you've got to get a little bit more in their wheelhouse. They're way from the tree. You know, I always like to try that little pitch method, the swing method first, but in the summer things can get pretty still and sometimes you just have to get right on top of them. I think that's what we're going to do here and we're just going to give them that dead stick. I don't know why I crop you just like it sitting still, but you can really figure this out watching the electronics with Lyscope. You see that they, they just tend to like to eat it when it's sitting still. So anyway, they're lazy, I guess. We're right. We're still a little out 15 feet ahead. This is the same kind of deal. It's a bit over tree.  Oh, is that what we're, dude, the one that's still on my jig right now is giant. No, I'm not going to do it today. What do we want? What do we want? We might go with orange since Matt's throwing pink. I like this sickle cell, sickle, sickle cell, my goodness.  Never throw in this color combo. We're going to try it. Orange, black and pink. That is, that's a specimen there. Here we go. Like when I hit spot lock, I want spot lock. You know what I mean? This nonsense. How does this help anybody? It just causes disturbances too. Yeah, it's like, there's probably a tornado of currents down there. Oh, dude, well, bass just came up eight right there from the disturbance off the garment. There you go. Did you get a bit? Yeah. Saw it. Got him. Oh, that's a good, here we go. Oh, dude. Yeah, dude, they're paper mouth right now. So we just got a, both flips are difficult. Both flips are dangerous. Having a lot of escapees. What in the world is this dude? What's going on? We're just on this tree. There's no spot lock.  Did we just shake them up? I think we did. There we go. Oh my gosh. They're busting on it right now, but I'm not connecting. God, there we go. Soft mouth. Little buddies. Now there's a couple of tankers in there though. First little stint ended up with three. Not the, not the performance I was hoping for. We probably saw, I don't know, 60, 70 crappie. And then we're just kind of nipping at it. Spot lock. Nope. Nope, not easy. Just got tugged. Oh gosh. Oh, we're both hooked up. That's a big one. Oh my gosh. Matt, get the net. Dude, I'm serious. This might be my PB. Paper mouth. Oh my God. It's a giant. You know where the net is? Yes. Dude, dude, dude. I'm serious.  Where was the net? Oh my gosh.  Where's that net at? Right here, right here. Oh my God. It's a giant. Biggest cropping in my life. Coming around. One more pass. Ready? Yep. Hold on. Come on. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. This is it. This is it.   Holy cow. That looks like a bass. Oh my God. This is freaking massive. Oh my gosh. Let's get this thing on the, I don't know about weight-wise, but length-wise, this is next level. My PBA is like, I don't even know. I know I've caught some, I think 16 inches is my longest one. I tried to anchor us. No way. It's not working. Oh my gosh, no. Don't shoot you with that. No. We're going to measure you down here. Look at this thing. This is an absolute hammer. 16.25. 16.25. It's pretty dead gum close. What is happening with our trolling motor? We have no spot lock. Yeah, just turn it off. There's no, there's zero point in having this thing on. That has got to be one of my biggest crappie ever. If this was like a March crappie, the weight on that thing, but it's skinny because it's summer. But my goodness, there are some slab stools out there on this thing. We're going to go old fashioned right now. I know we talk about all this bass fishing technology, but technology is failing us right now. I guess it needs to be recalibrated or something. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Ease up on it. Yeah, just, oh my gosh, dude, the amount of fish. Scan on that so that folks can see this. The one we're about to do these fish should be a crime. When I turn on the spot lock, which we're all used to now, it's like driving an automatic. It just goes in circles. Oh, you're on one. He's about to get it. I saw him lift up. There we go. Oh, wow, man. Oh, dude, that was a big one. You still got him. I think I was getting caught up in the tree with him. Yeah, I heard him. I think that's what was going on. Grinding on it. Not a good sound. I wish I could get on spot lock and just free time. I don't know how that would go. This one's definitely pretty snaggy. Oh, it popped on the boat. Got him. Popped on the side of the boat. Oh my God, dude, we're going to have to start netting him. Oh, I got him. God, what's happening on my reel? I don't think he would make it. Wow, that was like the deadest sticks. If that thing's 10 inches, he's going on the cooler. I don't think he's 10 inches. I don't think he's 10 inches, but this one caught in a while. Got one. This one feels good. He's going to get off. Don't do it. There we go.  That's what they want. Oh, that's a whopper in there. I didn't feel that last one either. There we go. Barely biting it. Come here, Chungus. Making moves. Making crappie moves. Oh my gosh. Look at the bass, dude. Look at the bass swimming in here. Dude, it's a freaking giant. Look at it. Oh my God. All right, folks, we had to switch gears. After catching a few more crappie because this next little crappie spot we're looking at just had some very large looking bass marks. You know, it's not going to hurt my feelings to catching eight plus pound bass out here. Come on now. Oh yeah, it's beautiful. She picked up the jig, just catch a juicy bass right in the middle of the day. That is good. That's fun to see right there, folks. Nice little slot fish.  I didn't even feel that bass bite. I just, it felt squishy right behind us. So they're off.  I got him. I got him. He was in the top of the tree. He was right, I mean, just under the surface. Oh, it's bass. Got a bunch of bass up in here. There may be a few tree snags in the mix here, folks. Bug gets tugs. Oh, that's a big bass. What are we in right now? What is going on? I'm telling you, this tree dude has huge fish on it. There's no, there's no denying it. A giant bass just came up right on the boat. Oh, it ate that little bass I just threw back. Oh, I was wondering what happened there. Oh, we've been a little distracted with the large mouth. All right, folks. Last ditch effort here.  I just caught a crappie, but let me fill you in on what else happened. So I had my rod and I was up here and I was trying to get my GoPro to turn on and I had the line hanging over the trolling motor. Well, the trolling motor sucked in my line. I thought I had a giant, broke my line, I got it untangled and that was pretty much the end of that story right there. But we do have one last little pod of crappie. They're just not, they're just not activated. They're just not eating like they should. The bass and the crappie are usually it's like whatever's biting. I'm all, I'm all four. I go for whatever's biting the best. But today they both have the lockjaw having to really settle down on these crappie to get them. The bass, they just do the same thing. They'll bite it, but they're not really hanging on to it well. For some reason the spinning reel is on the right side. Does anybody else do that? Comment down below. I'd like to know a ratio. This has just been one of those days on, oh my gosh, big and smoked me. That is a big in there. Yes. Wow. Get up in this boat. Have they been activated? I might have just activated them. You know, we don't, we don't have a lot in the cooler, but what we do have is sort of a show to show you what we got happening in here. Just some big boys. Oh my, I'm just getting on these hammers right now with your gear. A little afternoon rally. This is back to the old ways. You gotta, you gotta throw them in the cooler super quick. You gotta get back on your spot. Coming up to it. Did not eat it. Gave her a daggum juicy dangle. Can't ask for any. I tried hard. Caught a giant croff. My face is sunburned. I'm shiny and oily. Worked up a good sweat out here today. My buddy. That's all you can really ask for. Oh, buddies. Folks, we have quite the bounty gathered up over, well, two days yesterday on a crankbait, on a recall. When I caught it, it was already attached to this crankbait. So it had two crankbaits in its mouth. Anytime you have something like that happen, you gotta keep that lure. Put it on the wall for a little keepsake and we have quite the bounty all. So we have actually white bass. We have giant crappie and we have catfish. It's time to make some crisps. Got an absolute smorgasbord here. I'm actually probably not even going to use the standard filet knife. That was just for show. I think it is important for everybody to know how to clean a fish.  You at least need to do them justice by getting the most meat you can off of them. By the way, these are the most uncomfortable sandals I've ever put on my life, but I think they're hilarious. Close, right? Resimulants. Really close in size. So you want to just go right behind the gill plates right here. The gill plates on a fish are located right here. There's these hard plates. Some of them can actually be sharp, so be careful. And you've also got this pectoral fin right here. And you just want to kind of lift that up with your knife. So what is nice about the electric is you can actually cut through the rib cage. It'll saw through the rib cage so you don't have to worry about going around that. You just want to make your cut at an angle right there behind that gill plate and that pectoral fin right there. You don't want to press too hard. You just want to go until you're to that backbone. That backbone is going to be your guide for flying across the side of the fish. The best little tip I can give you about using both kinds of knives is to constantly move it to try to get that knife to move over the little vertebrae and things like that.  Feather it up and down until you feel that knife push through and glide and keep doing that. So turn it sideways. Keep it close to the backbone. Feather it and then really bring it close down there to the spine at the end. You'll feel it kind of start to get easier as you go through that rib cage and then you want to just flip it over. Leave a little bit of scan on the end so you can have some grip to push the blade through right down in there all the way through and then you're left with a beautiful crappie filet but you've got a rib cage on it.  All right y'all, we have done our cleaning and it's time to do some cooking. So we got all of our crappies, white bass, and even a catfish filet but what we're going to focus on here today is doing the half shell style. Now I know all you Cajun fishing freaks out there already know what I'm talking about. It's a popular way to do redfish and some other saltwater species but you can do this with crappie as well and it's excellent. What I've done here is you guys just watch me clean the fish outside and you clean these exact same way but this last one that I cleaned instead of going between the skin and the meat I just want to head and cut it right off at the end so you end up with a big old fat slab. Scales and all, rib cage still in there. Look at that pee, that's hand size. And I caught a random catfish so I'm throwing that in there as well especially with these heavier spices I'm going to be using a lot of black pepper, a lot of cayenne. This is actually sunflower seed oil. I don't think I've ever used that on fish. Try that out and we'll rub that in. Just going to give fish meat a little lubrication for the spice. For our base Cosmo SPG it's just an excellent base. I use this on fish, chicken, steaks. Love those dried chunks of garlic in there. Rock a little cayenne. Don't use too much. This stuff can be interesting on the taste buds. So we're going to set our grill at about 350-400 just kind of a medium temp and then we are going to let the flames come up underneath. Hit that half shell and just watch until the juices start coming out the top. That's going to be your indicator that fish is done. Ignore the catfish, I'm cooking that a different way. OSG cooking up the sides as usual. We got some cherries with some cheese. Cherries and cheese, that sounds terrible with fish. We could try to give her some fish but she really is not a fish. She's not into that fish game yet. She hasn't experienced her first good dangle. That's why. That's part of the problem. You got to get pride and catch the fish and then the fish tastes better. So what do we actually have? Go with the fish. Just some potatoes and onions. Your request. Potatoes and onions. Good starch with your fish is always good. She's eating for two. I am due in two months. Two months. Coming at you fast. Are you ready? Are you ready, Dad? Yeah, I was born ready. Sure. For dessert, we have the specials. OSG special cookies. Those are the Snickerdoodle classics. You're on your last leg of recipes on the cookbook. Got two more cookie recipes and then like 10 just all-time favorites like the cinnamon rolls, scones, brownies. For those that don't know, she's been working on a cookbook since the beginning of the year. It's launching in October, correct? Correct. And she's pretty much knocking it out before baby.  I just love the whole operation we got going here and y'all. We parked the silver bullet in there. We do our fish cleaning down there.   You got a bite for me? Okay. Thank you. The lap-tizers for me. You know, some water mixed with a little chalk. So the eggs at about 450. We're going to go ahead and throw these on. Got the kitty cats wrapped in tinfoil with some lemon in there. The slabs are just how you guys saw them. There we go. We're going to set a timer for 10 minutes. Really just want to look for those juices starting to come out and the meat starting to separate. Another lap-tires for me, Amy? Oh, delicious. Oh, yeah. I think the fishing freaks want some. Say hi, fishing freaks. Hi, fishing freaks. Let's go drink it up. It's weird. Oh, steamy. They're not sweating yet, but it's looking good. We'll set ourselves another timer for five minutes. Juices coming out of the cracks. It's like volcanic deliciousness. And that's how you know. It looks like it needs just a minute or two more. Who's ready for delicious fishes?  There's actually more than I can eat, but we'll work with it. I've never just had like one crappie, like a crappie filet for dinner, but I figured if there's going to be one, this is it. It almost looks like it's just like, I don't know. This would be well-served with some rumoulade sauce, spicy mayo, something like that, but it's whatever you want to do. Oh, you got a little kick in there. I like the flavor. You put some cayenne in there, didn't you? I did. Oh, I taste it. Daddy made it spicy. Daddy put a little cayenne on there for the Cajun fish and freaks. Extremely flaky, but I think I put a little overboard on the cayenne. A little bit. Just a little bit. A little rumoulade would be nice. You can put some ranch on there and be fine. Ranch would be okay. We'll make our own rumoulade here real quick. Catfish came out pretty good as well. There we go. Catfish is good. All righty, fish and freaks. That is going to wrap it up for our dango, our cleaning, our cooking, all of it. And what an awesome day on the water getting to catch a giant crappie like that. The fishing was a little off because of the full moon. The bass and the crappie weren't willing to bite like I thought they would, but just catching that big crappie was worth going out there. And cooking it up like we did on the half shell, just an awesome way. If you get one over 14 inches, cook it up on the grill or bake it. But doing it on the half shell like that is just a great way to get the most meat out of your big crappie that you catch. Thank you guys once again for tuning in today. Don't forget to check out all the fresh 4th of July flavored merch over at GooseWide.com. Link down below. Better be wearing your red, white, blue out there on the water this July. And I salute all you fishing freaks. God bless you. I'll see you soon.


Hi, this is Pastor David Rosales of Calvary Chapel of the Chino Valley. Many years ago, my nephew was playing in the backyard as his mom did some gardening. I can still remember when my sister said to him, Patrick, what do you have in your mouth? Open it up, show me.  This only goes to show that babies will swallow just about anything. That is what is happening in church today. With the absence of actual teachers, the body of Christ has been plagued with many who are entertainers, comedians, storytellers, or magicians who apparently believe that pastors who actually rightly divide the word of truth are boring and not worthy of learning from and have begun following people that are not telling the truth and as a result are swallowing almost everything that they're being told by them. If you take a moment to survey the teachings of many regarded as pastors, it is sad to admit that many do not actually teach the Bible, but because they have a large group of people showing up to hear them, they're considered to be great teachers. If you want to see if they are actually great teachers, here is something you can do. Take the time to write out their message, wait for a month or two, then read it word for word. You might be surprised to see how that without the impassioned and loud speech or funny story or tearful memory, you end up with almost no Bible at all, and often the verses that are quoted are out of context and only used to bolster the point that he's trying to make.  If there were no groupies, these entertainers would no longer have a platform, but as long as there are those willing to applaud their error, they will continue using you to further their own kingdoms. Many believers are addicted to amusement, but perhaps we should take a time to remember that the word amusement is derived from the word muse, which means considering or thinking about something. Amusement means to have one's attention diverted to be beguiled, entrapped or diluted, and this is what is happening in many churches today. The sheep are being beguiled because they desire to be amused or entertained by the successful hero they've chosen to follow. When you look at 1 Thessalonians chapter 2, in the first 13 verses, the apostle Paul alludes to a situation that is concerning him as the church seems to be in the midst of being infiltrated by detractors of Paul and his ministry. In those verses, Paul reminds the church of his ministry amongst him and outlines three things that can help you to determine whether you are being taught by a genuinely gifted Bible teacher. He begins by establishing his credibility. He shared the fact that a church actually exists in Thessalonica because he had come and planted the church there. As such, he was their spiritual father, and that fact alone should have been cause for them to listen to his concerns. He went on to share with them concerning the afflictions and persecution that he had endured from hostile unbelievers and how that instead of such treatment causing him to become silent, he all the more was bold in his God to speak to them, the gospel of God even, he said, in much conflict. His motives were pure, his teaching did not originate in uncleanness or deceit. Instead, he knew he had been entrusted with God's word and spoke not to please men, but God who tested his heart. He did not seek glory from men, did not preach with a covetous motive. He never used flattery to win them to himself because his desire was for them to serve and love Jesus Christ. This is the true motive of a minister of the gospel. The question would be, does your teacher have credibility? Have they earned it over time through a consistent journey in Jesus? Or do they like to quote others to establish their credibility? Beyond that, are there illustrations always serving to make them the hero of the story? If so, they are preaching themselves and not Jesus.  Even so, Paul loved these people. He loved them so much that he willingly imparted not only the gospel of God, but his very life to them because they meant so much to him.  Mildness and tenderness is always balanced by strength and authority, and the combination provides security and proper instruction for the people of God. Does your pastor love you? Does he let you know that he does? Is he known for compassion? Finally, Paul ministered to them with conviction. In verse 13, he makes it clear that his message was not the word of men and that the church had not received simply the word of men, but as it was in truth, the word of God. He rejoiced that they received the word and welcomed the word and that the word of God was working, he says, effectively in them. The gospel message had come to them, not in word only, but in power, in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance. And because Paul lived out the message, the people saw firsthand how powerful the gospel truly is. In today's church environment, these three elements are not always present when we decide what teacher we will listen to. And sadly, because we seek to avoid being bored, we end up being deluded. God help us all to spend time in the word, to get to know those who labor amongst us, to rightly divide the word, to prayerfully seek to grow in our understanding of God's ways and in God's word. In these last days, the church is filled with people having itching ears who turn aside from the truth and follow fables. May this not be so with you. This is Pastor David Rosales of Calvary Chapel of the Chino Valley, California.


Howdy how's it going? My name's Davy Chappy, and I've been running at least six games a week for a good long while now, and the reason why I've been able to facilitate such an impressive workload is because I rely heavily on the power of PRE-MADE ADVENTURES! You know, those books that Wizards releases every half a year that you try to avoid eye contact with because it isn't a new source book? Well, in my adventures throughout the pages of these modules, I've seen the good, the bad, the ugly, and the other stuff of quite a few of these campaigns, and I think that it's high time that I put all this spelunking to good use and impart my knowledge onto any players that are looking to run the Horde of the Dragon Queen. Keep in mind, as always, that a lot of this is just my opinion, and that I'm going to try to keep this adventure spoiler-free and with a larger focus on the player's perspective towards the adventure. And if you enjoyed this video, then share it like it's a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and you are the number one peanut butter slut. And I'll make another video breaking down how to properly run it as a DM so that your games can be as chunky thick as possible. But with that out of the way, let's begin. THE GOOD! Horde of the Dragon Queen is very simple to understand. Within the first session, you discover that there is a cult that worships dragons, and you, as the adventurer, need to stop them. And the process of doing this is simple enough. As for better or worse, the campaign is way linear. So as long as you keep walking in a forward line, you'll never go off track or get lost in the sound. So keeping the game focused as a group of heroes trying to go out and stop an enigmatic bad guy is pretty easy. You travel along the Sword Coast, and there's definitely the Lord of the Rings-style feeling of traveling for long periods of time as you venture across the countryside. In addition to that, the book gives the DM a lot of options to tie players into the story of the game, which is easily my favorite thing about this whole book because it gives you a real reason to care and helps you put a lot of emotional investment into the world with little to no effort. Things like a specific enemy having killed your father, or an NPC that's involved in the story happens to be your friend from the past, or even multiple options for giving your character previous history with the cult as a whole organization. The module gives you optional background features to make you either a scholar that specializes in dragon knowledge, or to make you an ex-cultist member who knows enough about the group to understand how it works and how to pass off as a member. And yeah, most 5e campaign books give you something to tie into the campaign, but it's still a nice thing that I always enjoy seeing. Finally, while it takes a while to get there, the later chapters are pretty engaging in an episode of the week type of way, where it's structured in the way that you go to a new place, you approach the problems that are there in a clever and different way each time, and then you move on to the next place. It's not the most emotionally fulfilling way of running things, but it feels nice to complete them anyway. Also, one of the NPCs is big bass boy Farbleck Spatterge, the dad bod bullywug of Ultimate Destiny, and he is best frog. The bad! Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot of good to talk about, and one of the only real good things also has a bad side to it. Firstly, the campaign is super linear, so while you won't have to worry about getting lost, if you do ever want to go off the beaten path, then you can go flumpy yourself, because there are absolutely no options to do anything other than what the book wants. Like a controlling spouse, the book expects you to do what it says, when it says, and you get no say in the matter.  Other than that, the NPCs are bland. Out of all of the big bad evil guys of evil, only two of them even get a conceivable personality, with the rest of them being generic mustache twirling villains that are evil because they like the health plan, and literally all of them exist to die. You theoretically learn about all four of the quote-unquote main villains within the first few sessions of the story, but then the game just sort of has them all disappear completely until the time comes to face them in what are honestly super-forgetful fights that don't amount to much, and just sort of feel like cliff-note fights because this chapter needs a boss at the end. Other than that, all the other NPCs are either the two good guys that send you on the quest, and then are never seen again, or a bunch of characters with shades of grey that have zero consequence to the story at all, and may as well not even be there. Hell, off of memory, the book gives one specific NPC a crazy cool introduction, halfway through the story as the group is about to enter a town, and then they enter the town and said NPC is never mentioned again in the book ever again ever, and it's set up like there's supposed to be some big important character where the book specifically states that it is something that is required to take place, but the character doesn't do anything, they just show up and then say niner niner. Now, given that this campaign is only the first part of a two-part story, that should be forgivable as a couple of these NPCs do make a return in the rise of Tiamat, storyline, but the majority of them don't ever come back, nor are they mentioned again ever, despite the game treating them like a big deal, including the NPC I just mentioned, and if you've ran the module, you know who I'm talking about. The majority of these characters are just filler that the book doesn't give a lot of guidance for, that'll either die within the first minute of meeting you, or they'll be picked up by the giant flying purple baby and will never be seen again. The story as a whole makes enough sense, but what's annoying is that the majority of the story is set as a sort of mystery espionage type thing, where you have to follow this cult and figure out what it is that they're all about, but come on, let's be honest, it isn't a spoiler to make the logical conclusion that the horde of the dragon queen is about taking a horde of something to a place involving a dragon queen who may or may not be Tiamat, who may or may not rise in the near future. The idea that there is any wonder at all to what the cult of the dragon is trying to do is one that just isn't going to work out for anyone that has any understanding of the premise, and so the main hook is boring because the players already understand everything through context clues. And then there's just weird things that are brought up and then go missing soon after, like you find some important things in a cave that you're supposed to destroy, but nothing is really stopping you from just taking them, besides the book literally giving you no real information outside of like just one line, or later you find a machine at the top of a ruined castle that gives insight into something that is literally never brought up again and is apparently just a weird easter egg for the forgotten realms grognards of additions past. It's just bizarre that the writers seem to hyper focus on a choice that they think the players will make while excluding all other possible avenues that the players could possibly go down, which brings us to the ugly.  It is awful for three big reasons. Firstly, the first chapter set in the town of Green Nest where you very first start is the most unbalanced bullshit in the history of bulls defecating on things. Because this book was written before they properly figured out the power level of first level characters in fifth edition, the very first encounter is a possible TPK and you're meant to just keep going and dealing with all of the problems in town, when literally every encounter that you meet up with is an unbalanced match in the bad guy's favor, culminating in the absolute BM play that is having one of the overpowered bad guys knock out one of the players and deal a single death blow before just leaving saying ha ha, you guys suck.  I understand that they wrote it before they understood the power level of the players, but they didn't change it when they scaled the power level down? They didn't think maybe they should do that or maybe Adeline saying hey, maybe if these guys are having a really hard time you should bump the characters up to at least level three so that they stand a goddamn chance. And I get that the first encounter is meant to make the cult look big and bad like they're on an unstoppable force that you're gonna have a really hard time dealing with and it's meant to prop that bad guy that's doing the pub stomp as being a really tough threat, but the problem is that every encounter after this the cult is chumps and the bad guy suffers from the same problem that all the other bad guy NPCs have in that you meet him once and then you don't see him again until the fateful final fight of finality, robbing the players of all that agency that having a recurring enemy could bring. Secondly, the game demands the world of you in terms of where you are allowed to go, but it doesn't even bother to flesh out the places you do go to.  If you were planning on enjoying a sightseeing tour throughout the Sword Coast like the game presented it as, I really hope you like not doing that or I hope you like having your DM lift the goddamn Sisyphus Stone in order to flesh out the world by themselves only to have to do it again in the next town four sessions later. Lastly, and this one is a little bit of a spoiler so you might want to skip ahead it's not really that much of a spoiler but fair warning anyway. But this game for all its focus on traveling takes a really long time to get absolutely nowhere. What I mean by that is that chapter four is literally just traveling in a straight line for a stupid period of time during which the second point comes into play because the chapter literally starts you out in a town then makes you travel six days to a town semi-important to the DND lore then travel three days by boat to arguably the biggest most important city that people who have an inkling of an understanding about DND would love to be but you only get to be there for five seconds because then you have to travel another 15 days to a famous haunted castle that gets zero screen time whatsoever not even a single line of information as to what it is then you get to travel another 15 days to another semi-important town more people would care about it than the first semi-important town but it's eh but then you travel another fucking 10 days to get to the other arguably biggest most popular city in DND lore and none of them I mean none of them get any description as to what you are supposed to do there besides the very limited and specific things that progress the story in a janky and unfulfilling way and it's insane that the writers didn't even give out a single thing to do given that the plot crashes them into every goddamn town they possibly can get to and yet doesn't expect DND players to explore an area and I nearly choked on my own uvula when I flipped to the next page to chapter five and found out that after spending 50 days trying to finally arrive to the plot you were expected to catch a trip to nowhere and travel for another 10 days just to finally arrive at a place where things actually happen and if anything and I mean anything happens to make the players stop following this 60 day linear trail then the entire story falls completely apart which is really difficult to deal with when you realize that the players have to spend most of this time in close vicinity to the cult that they're investigating and players love investigating things they love messing with the bad guys and they will inevitably attempt to do this because players are like that and although the NPCs will tell them hey maintain secrecy they're players they have no reason to assume that the reality of the situation is that touching anything will just break the game like who even read this and thought yeah a big empty middle section of absolutely nothing is a perfect addition to dnd's first official module but i digress fuck chapter four the verdict god i hate horde of the dragon queen it's stupid it's ridiculous it's obnoxious and it's unbelievable that the book was either not play tested at all or just ignored because it's dnd it'll sell and it's massively disappointing that this was the first introduction to the world of dnd that the players got to what is arguably the best edition of dnd that has existed in years because it means that they'll have a skewed opinion on all of the other honestly pretty great modules that fifth edition has to offer but even then don't let that distract you from the fact that a good dm can spin absolutely anything into gold as long as they follow the one basic rule of dnd make sure the players are having fun i've ran this module i've completed this module four separate times and each time the players told me that they had a blast they told me that while they recognized all the pitfalls that the adventure had made that made the whole experience a chore to sift through they also acknowledged that it's not the dm's fault that a premade book is poorly written and they applauded that with a lot of heavy lifting i was able to spin each session individually into a great time to be held by all which honestly is the most that we can possibly hope for in a game you can enjoy this module your dm just has to work harder that being said a good module is weighed by how fun of a campaign it's able to be without all the various edits and adjustments from the side of the dm because what's the point in buying a $50 book if i'm gonna have to work to fix it all the way through anyway and unfortunately i had to sweat to carry the burden that was giving the story a satisfying thread to follow that made sense and allowed the players at least a little freedom to move around and sure after the fourth time running through it i had things pretty down pat but the first time it was a nightmare so i'm giving horde of the dragon queen two chapis out of a possible 10 chapis the game is very look but don't touch and if you do touch something then i hope you like homebrew but yeah that'll about do it i hope you enjoyed this video i apologize on how ranty it turned out i didn't mean for it to turn that way when i was writing the script but as soon as i sat down and started recording all of the pent up anger just came out of me but yeah if you enjoyed this video leave a like comment subscribe ring my bells to make me swell and maybe support me on patreon so that i can afford a module that doesn't suck also if you want me to make a video talking about this game from a dm's point of view where i can actually go over a lot of the ways to fix the game have it be a much more enjoyable experience for all the players then share this around to your group friends if this video does well enough then the power of voting with your views will tell me to milk this potential cash cow for all its worth may your lips be always chapped but yeah davi out

External imbalances that are still large, persistently high unemployment, large public sector deficits, high level of real interest rates. There are also continuing trade restrictions and increased protectionist pressures, persistent weakness of many primary commodity markets, and reduced prospects for developing countries to grow, find the markets they need, and service their foreign debt. The correction of external imbalances will be a long and difficult process. Change rate changes alone will not solve the problem of correcting these imbalances while sustaining growth. Surplus countries will design their policies to strengthen domestic demand and reduce external surpluses while maintaining price stability. Industrial countries, while following policies designed to encourage steady low inflation growth, will reduce their fiscal and external imbalances. We call on other industrial countries to participate in the effort to sustain economic activity worldwide. We also call on newly industrialised economies with rapid growth and large external surpluses to assume greater responsibility for preserving an open world trading system by reducing trade barriers and pursuing policies that allow their currencies more fully to reflect underlying fundamentals. Among the summit countries, budgetary discipline remains an important medium term objective and the reduction of existing public sector imbalances a necessity for a number of them. Those summit countries which have made significant progress in fiscal consolidation and have large external surpluses remain committed to following fiscal and monetary policies designed to strengthen domestic growth within a framework of medium term fiscal objectives monetary policy should also support non-inflationary growth and foster stability of exchange rates. In view of the outlook for low inflation in many countries, a further market-led decline of interest rates would be helpful. We also agree, the heads of state or government say, on the need for effective structural policies especially for creating jobs. To this end we shall promote competition in order to speed up industrial adjustment, reduce major imbalances between agricultural supply and demand, facilitate job creating investment, improve the functioning of labour markets, promote the further opening of internal markets, encourage the elimination of capital market imperfections and restrictions, and the improvement of the functioning of international financial markets. We warmly welcome the progress achieved by the group of seven finance ministers in developing and implementing strengthened arrangements for multilateral surveillance and economic coordination as called for in Tokyo last year. The new process of coordination involving the use of economic indicators will enhance efforts to achieve more consistent and mutually compatible policies by our countries. The heads of state or government reaffirm the important policy commitments and undertakings adopted at the Louvre and Washington meetings of the group of seven including those relating to exchange rates. They agree that if in the future world economic growth is insufficient, additional actions will be required to achieve their common objectives. Accordingly they call on their finance ministers to develop, if necessary, additional appropriate policy measures for this purpose and to continue to cooperate closely to foster stability of exchange rates. The coordination of economic policies is an ongoing process which will evolve and become more effective over time. The heads of state or government endorse the understandings reached by the group of seven finance ministers to strengthen with the assistance of the International Monetary Fund the surveillance of their economies using economic indicators including exchange rates in particular buy. The commitment by each country to develop medium term objectives and projections for its economy and for the group to develop objectives and projections that are mutually consistent both individually and collectively and the use of performance indicators to review and assess current economic trends and to determine whether there are significant deviations from an intended course that require consideration of remedial actions. The heads of state or government consider these measures important steps towards promoting sustained non-inflationary global growth and greater currency stability. They call upon the group of seven finance ministers and central bank governors to intensify their coordination efforts with a view to achieving prompt and effective implementation of the agreed policy undertakings and commitments monitor economic developments closely in cooperation with the managing director of the IMF and to consider further improvements as appropriate to make coordination process more effective. The heads of state and government we note rising protectionist pressures with grave concern the Uruguay Iran can play an important role in maintaining and strengthening the multilateral trading system and achieving increased liberalization of trade for the benefit of all countries recognizing the interrelationship among growth trade and development it is essential to improve the multilateral system based on the principles and rules of the general agreement on tariffs and trade gap and bring about a wider coverage of world trade under agreed effective and enforceable multilateral discipline protectionist actions would be counter proactive would increase the risk of further exchange rate instability and would exacerbate the problems of development and indebtedness we endorse fully the commitment to adopt appropriate measures in compliance with the principles of standstill and rollback which have been reaffirmed in the ministerial declaration on the Uruguay round it is important to establish within GATT a multilateral framework of principles and rules for trade and services trade related investment measures and intellectual property rights this extension of the multilateral trading system would also be beneficial to developing countries in fostering growth and enhancing trade investment and technology transfers basing ourselves on the ministerial declaration on the Uruguay round and the principles of GATT we call on all contracting parties to negotiate comprehensively in good faith and with all due dispatch with a view to ensuring mutual advantage and increased benefits to all participants Canada Japan the United States and the European community will table in Geneva a wide range of substantive proposals over the coming months progress in the Uruguay round will be kept under close political review in this context the launching the conduct and the implementation of the outcome of the negotiations should be treated as parts of a single undertaking however agreements reached at the early stage might be implemented on a provisional or definitive basis by agreement prior to the formal conclusion of the negotiations and should be taken into account in assessing the overall balance of the negotiations a strong credible working GATT is essential to the well-being of all trading countries and is the best bulwark against mounting bilateral protectionist pressures the functioning of the GATT should be improved through enhancing its role in maintaining an open multilateral system at its ability to manage disputes and through ensuring better coordination between GATT and the IMF and the World Bank we consider that it would be useful to have as appropriate in the course of the negotiations a meeting of the trade negotiating committee at the ministerial level at Tokyo we recognized the serious nature of the agricultural problem we agreed that the structure of agricultural production needed to be adjusted in the light of world demand and expressed our determination to give full support to the work of the OECD in this field in doing so we all recognized the importance of agriculture to the well-being of our rural communities in the past year we have actively pursued the approach outlined at Tokyo and we take satisfaction from the agreement in the ministerial declaration adopted in Punta del Leste on the objectives for the negotiations on agriculture in the Uruguay Round we reaffirm our commitment to the important agreement on agriculture set out in the OECD ministerial communique of May 13th 1987 in particular the statement of the scope and urgency of the problem which required that the concerted reform of agricultural policies be implemented in a balanced and flexible manner the assessment of the grave implications for developed and developing countries alike of the growing imbalances in supply of demand for the main agricultural products the acknowledgement of shared responsibility for the problems as well as for their equitable effective and durable resolution the principal reform and the action required the long-term objective is to allow market signals to influence the orientation of agricultural production by waver progressive a concerted reduction of agricultural support as well as by all other appropriate means giving consideration to social and other concerns such as food security environmental protection and overall employment we underscore our commitment to work in concert to achieve the necessary adjustments of agricultural policies both at home and through comprehensive negotiations in the Uruguay Round in this as in other fields we will table a comprehensive proposals for negotiations in the coming months to be conducted in accordance with the mandate of in the ministerial declaration and we intend to review at our next meeting the progress achieved and the tasks that remain in the meantime in order to create a climate of greater confidence which would enhance the prospect for rapid progress in the Uruguay Round as a whole and as a step toward the long-term result to be expected from these negotiations we have agreed and call upon other countries to agree to refrain from actions which by further stimulating production of agricultural commodities in surplus increasing protection or destabilizing world markets would worsen the negotiating commit climate and more generally damage trade relations we attach particular importance to fostering stable economic progress in developing countries with all their diverse situations and needs the problems of many heavily indebted developing countries are a cause of economic and political concern and can be a threat to political stability in countries with democratic regimes we salute the courageous efforts of many of these countries to achieve economic growth and stability we underline the continuing importance of official development assistance and welcome the increased efforts of some of our countries in this respect we recall the target already established by international organization 0.7 percent for the future level of official development assistance and we take note that overall financial flows are important to development we strongly support the activities of international financial institutions including those regional development banks which foster policy reforms by borrowers and finance their programs of structural adjustment in particular we support the central role of the IMF through its advice and financing and encourage closer cooperation between the IMF and the World Bank especially in their structural adjustment lending we note with satisfaction the contribution made by the eighth replenishment of the of the international development association IDA we support a general capital increase of the World Bank when justified by increased demand for quality lending by its expanding role in the debt strategy and by the necessity to maintain the financial stability of the institution in the light of the different contributions of our countries to official development assistance we welcome the recent initiative of the japanese government in bringing forward a new scheme which will increase the provision of resources from japan to developing countries for the major middle income debtors we continue to support the present growth oriented case by case strategy three elements are needed to strengthen the gross prospect of debtor countries the adoption of comprehensive macroeconomic and structural reforms by debtor countries themselves the enhancement of lending by international financial institutions in particular the world bank and adequate commercial bank lending in support of debtor country reforms which will play our part by helping to sustain growth and expand trade a number of debt agreements have allowed some resumption of growth correction of imbalances and significant progress in restoring the credit worthiness of some countries but some still lack adequate policies for structural adjustment and growth designed to encourage the efficient use of domestic savings the repatriation of flight capital increased flows of foreign direct investment and in particular reforms of financial markets there is equally a need for timely and effective mobilization of lending by commercial banks in this context we support efforts by commercial banks and debtor countries to develop a menu of alternative negotiating procedures and financing techniques for providing continuing support to debtor countries measures should be taken particularly by debtor countries to facilitate non-debt creating capital flows especially direct investment in this connection the multilateral investment guarantee agency meager should begin to serve its objectives as soon as possible it is important to maintain the flexibility on the part of export credit agencies in promptly resuming or increasing cover for countries that are implementing comprehensive adjustment programs we recognize the problems of developing countries whose economies are solely or predominantly dependent on exports of primary commodities the prices of which are persistently depressed it is important that the functioning of commodity markets should be improved for example through better information and greater transparency further diversification of these economies could be encouraged with the help of the international financial institutions through policies to support the efforts for improving processing of their products to expand opportunities through market access liberalization and to strengthen the international environment for structural change we recognize that the problems of some of the poorest countries primarily in sub-saharan africa are uniquely difficult and need special treatment these countries are characterized by such features as acute property and limited resources to invest in their own development unmanageable debt burdens heavy reliance on one or two commodities and the fact that their debt is owed for the most part to governments of industrialized countries themselves or to international financial institutions for those of the poorest countries that are undertaking adjustment effort consideration should be given to the possibility of applying lower interest rates to their existing debt and agreement should be reached especially in the paris club on longer repayment and grace periods to ease the debt service burden we welcome the various proposals made in this area by some of us and also the proposal by the managing director of the IMF for a significant increase in the resources of the structural adjustment facility over the three years from January 1st 1988 we urge a conclusion on discussions on these proposals within this year we note that UNCTAD 7 provides an opportunity for a discussion with developing countries with a view to arriving at a common perception of the major problems and policy issues in the world economy at this point we turn to more social topics first of all the environment further to our previous commitment to preserve a healthy environment and to pass it on to future generations we welcome the report by the environment experts on the improvement and harmonization of techniques and practices of environmental measurement accordingly we encourage the united nations environment program to institute a forum for information exchange and consultation in cooperation with the international organization for standardization and the international council scientific union assisted by other interested international organizations and countries so that continuing progress in this important field can be ensured the priority environmental problems identified by the environment experts in their report should receive full attention we underline our own responsibility to encourage efforts to tackle effectively environmental problems of worldwide impact such as stratospheric ozone depletion climate change acid rains indigent species hazardous substances air and water pollution and destruction of tropical forests we also intend to examine further environmental issues such as stringent environmental standards as an incentive for innovation and for the development of clean cost effective and low resource technology as well as promotion of international trade in low pollution products low polluting industrial plants and other environmental protection technologies we welcome the important progress achieved since tokyo particularly in the international atomic energy agency in enhancing effective international cooperation with regard which is aimed on promoting through international cooperation basic research on biological functions we're grateful for the informal opportunities our scientists have had to take part in some of the discussions of the feasibility study undertaken by japan we note that this study will be continued and we would be pleased to be kept informed about its progress we welcome the positive contribution made by the conference of high-level experts on the future role of education in our society held in Kyoto in January 1987 we shall continue to review the ethical implications of developments in the life sciences following the conferences sponsored by summit governments by japan in 1984 by france in 1985 by the federal republic of germany in 1986 and by canada in 1987 we welcome the italian government's offer to host the next bioethics conference in italy in april april 1988 finally the heads of state or government have agreed to meet again next year and have accepted the invitation of the canadian prime minister to meet in canada i have two further declarations to make one is on aids and the other is on drugs on the basis of the concern already shown in the past for health problems london chairman's oral statement on cancer and bonn chairman's oral statement on drugs the heads of state or government and the representatives of the european community affirm that aids is one of the biggest potential health problems in the world national efforts need to be intensified and made more effective by means of international cooperation and concerted campaigns to prevent aids from spreading further and will have to ensure that the measures taken are in accordance with the principles of human rights in this connection they agree that international cooperation will not be improved by duplication of effort priority will have to be given to strengthening existing organizations by giving them full political support and by providing them with a necessary financial personnel and administrative resources the world health organization is the best forum for drawing together international efforts on a worldwide level to combat aids and all countries should be encouraged fully to cooperate with the who and support its special program of aids related activities in the absence of a vaccine or cure the best hope for the combat and prevention of aids rests on a strategy based on educating the public about the seriousness of the aids epidemic the ways the aids virus is transmitted and the practical steps each person can take to avoid acquiring or spreading it appropriate opportunities should be used for exchanging information about national education campaigns and domestic policies the heads of state or government and representatives of the european community welcome the proposal by the united kingdom government to co-sponsor with the who an international conference of ministerial level on public education about aids further cooperation should be promoted for basic and clinical studies on prevention treatment and exchange of information as in the case of the c program the heads of state or government and the representatives of the european community welcome and support joined action by researchers in the seven countries as in the case of the joint program of french and american research researchers which is being enlarged and similar programs and all over the world for the cure of the disease clinical testing on components of the virus and the development of a successful vaccine the heads of state of government and the representatives of the european community welcome the proposal by the president of the french republic aiming at the creation of an international committee on the ethical issues raised by aids and another declaration that already announced concerns drugs the heads of state or government have examined this problem especially from the point of view of drug abuse which causes a tragic loss of human life and now has spread all over the world especially the young and their family affecting mainly the young and their families they emphasize the importance of undertaking a strategy in support of national regional and multilateral campaigns in order to overcome this problem they intend to continue their fight against illegal production and distribution of drugs and to create all necessary conditions for more effective international cooperation they will also work for the eradication of illegal cultivation of natural drugs and for its replacement with other types of production which will further the aims of social and economic development the leaders welcome the agreements already reached on bilateral and multilateral basis and look forward with confidence to a successful international conference on drug abuse and illicit trafficking which the united nations are convening next week in vienna this morning the venice summit the four closing had a report on behalf of the foreign ministers who attended the summit by minister andreotti the italian foreign minister and has found that it led to a useful exchange of views on shall we say regional issues concerning the present international situation the same spirit of constructive cohesion which inspired the declarations that were disseminated and released yesterday on east west relations on the gulf crisis and on the fight against terrorism inspired debates and show that there were significant convergences first of all as regards Pakistan it was felt that it was afghanistan it was felt that it was necessary to maintain pressure to make sure that the afghan people can autonomously decide on their fate in a country that is free of foreign military intervention it was found that the presence in kambodia of foreign troops continues to be an obstacle to a peace in the in southeast asia and in the pacific area insular states which have recently achieved independence are confronted with difficult economic situations and for this for this the advisability was underlined of supporting their development process in conditions of autonomy without outside interference we agreed that particular attention must be paid in asia to efforts in towards the economic restructuring which is taking place in china's world the situation in the korean peninsula where the olympic games as some say the coming olympic games might offer a prospect which would be a favorable to a more confident and trusting dollar between north and south in the philippines the democratic government is committed to a courageous action towards a social and economic renewal which merits support now turning our attention as we did to africa as a content with continent with huge a huge potential we realize that we are faced with very that they are faced with very serious economic political and social problems and we confirmed and we dwelt particularly on the situation in south africa where the present crisis can be appeasably and lastingly overcome only by dismantling apartheid and replacing it with a new style of non-racial non-racist and democratic government this was felt to be urgent and it was necessary to bring in all representatives of south african society importance must be attached to humanitarian aid to the victims of apartheid and the need was stressed to support the members of sadak and their efforts to consolidate their economies particular concern was expressed for the persistence of dangerous foci of tension and possible conflict in the near immediate middle east in the absence of concrete progress and the search for a settlement of the arab-israeli conflict it is necessary we said to make every effort to create the proper conditions for just global and lasting peace the concern was underlined for the situation in the occupied territories also the lebanese situation with continuation of seris internal tension and the problem of palestinian camps continues to cause grave apprehension and the hope was put forward that sooner would be a process of national reconciliation starting up as regards net in america the debate showed that it was necessary to promote suitable initiatives to support democratic governments and to further the return to democracy and its consolidation throughout the continent we also agreed that the efforts at regional integration will make it possible to open up a profitable dialogue with the west and these efforts must be promoted and supported and it is to be hoped that the next summit in guate mall will lead to prospects for peace and stability and then returned our attention to the problems of the united nations organization in particular it's financial it's a current financial difficulties and the initiatives that might be taken in order to facilitate overcoming them i should like to inform you that these conclusions were were greatly aided by messages from various sources and various people private people groups of scholars government and also heads of state and i cannot pass over in silence the fact that we received a particular two message received two particularly important messages one from president alfonsin and from president another from president said we know today from net in america and from the president of the congo as regards the associated community of central africa i wanted to give you this information so that it will be apparent that in the course of the year and particularly in the last a few weeks many parties have endeavored to facilitate our work and it would be blind of me and i'm grateful if i were not to recall what the press has done in the last few months in the last few weeks to facilitate our work both by pointing to issues which deserved particular attention and by offering criticism which we found particularly stimulating and by creating around the summit a climate of expectation and we hope of welcome for the decisions that were taken i thank you for attending this conference and perhaps you will want to reread what i have just read out to you thank you

We have the orange bird one Which I absolutely love right there in the middle Then we have Iron Man and I kind of like the Iron Man one because it reminds me of an arc reactor And then we have one of the regular magic bands, which is just black and I kind of like that as well And I'm not too sure we're gonna have to decide Now I am officially a proud owner of a magic band plus and I didn't get one of the ones I showed you I actually got a different one and I love it Here it is the Walt Disney World one the four parks one as I was talking about how it was popular They brought out a separate little case and they started restocking the shelf and I was able to grab one I love this one because it has Epcot It has a tower of terror the Tree of Life and of course Cinderella Castle and that awesome Walt Disney World logo I'm so excited that I got this one. It's like perfect for me All right, here it is and I did get an annual past discount with this So that is really awesome You save a couple bucks there and I also have my fuel rod because anything any new electronics doesn't come like fully charged So it's only probably halfway charged and it does have the charger in the back already included and I'm excited But be careful though make sure you pick the one you want because just like any other magic bands There is no refunds or exchanges or returns So the one you get is the one you have and I am proud about the one that I got Make sure you guys tune into the end of the video and I'm gonna give you my overall thoughts with using the magic band plus Like I said, I'm not gonna knock it until I actually use it for a whole entire day So at the end of the day will recap all the things I liked about it and all the things I probably don't like about it, but we'll wait. We'll wait to the end. I Wanted to show you guys the quick easy setup through the my Disney experience app All you have to do is go in log in find the magic band plus and then hit link and then it's gonna Have you open the scanner so that you can scan it like over top of it, which I think I'm doing right now Close to your device. That's where I'm at right here unless I shut it off. Did I shut it off? Let's see two three There we go, I think it just turned back on Well, everything's on Maybe I'm not doing it right. Oh, I did it. Hold your band close to your device. There we go We got it on the wrist now. It's all ready to go and to be honest now. I'm not a big like watch guy I love the magic bands. I don't even own a smart watch So I was very content with just the magic band being the magic band So I'm excited to see how I like this or not. I mean I do like the Walt Disney World design on the front I think that's really cool. So I don't know. We'll just see how it goes. I Was just walking by the purple wall and my thing actually vibrated twice.  That was the coolest thing ever Now that the magic band plus business is taken care of I want to get something to eat So I think we're gonna head over to Pecos bills first and try the walking taco you guys don't know what a walking taco is it's basically a taco in a bag of Fritos and I'm excited because I love Fritos and Pecos bills always has some good food. I mean for me quick service wise I think Pecos bills is pretty darn good and Some of the other 50th anniversary treats They're all a part of 50th anniversary, but they just keep on re-releasing new ones and I'm here for it And here we are Pecos bill featuring the best grub in the West Fajitos tacos burritos burgers nachos churros lots of urrs All right, I have mobile ordered the walking taco here at Pecos bills and I have to say I'm impressed I am very very impressed because certain things I don't like but They basically everything comes on the side so you can customize it and I didn't think it was gonna be that way and now I am like more excited for this it looks Fantastic, and it was only 999 at the check, but I'm pretty sure it was only 999 and that is a heck of a deal Okay, it was 1099 not 999. I do apologize for that But here it is I don't want to make a mess the walking taco on the go and take a look inside here It looks so amazing. I absolutely love it. We've got the black beans. We've got the rice. We've got the Fritos in there We've got the ground beef jalapeños And then they give you lettuce and tomato on the side cheddar cheese sour cream and chunky salsa So you can just add it and mix it through so like you can make the perfect combination and I am stoked I am so excited to eat this and you can just carry it around with you. That's the point of it It's a walking taco I'm just gonna dive right on in I can't wait to taste the beef in there and Give it a go A plus plus I love it. I really really do love it I love it one the Fritos get like a little bit soggy, but not all the way soggy But you don't want them like to soggy No one's got time for soggy Fritos and also you want to save the sour cream because you don't want that to get all Like warm and melty so you got to be quick with that but This is the perfect combination. I love it plenty of food and it's hefty It's a biggin. It's hefty The beef is perfectly seasoned and now I kind of want to go walk with it. I want to walk my taco Now I have decided to drop a little salsa in there a little chunky salsa medium style. It's gonna get a little Perfect I Really wanted to show you guys what it was like to actually walk and eat my taco because of the walking taco But I realized I can't do that because I don't have enough hands with the camera And they're walking talkery walking talky walkie talkie. So I think I'll let the I'll set the camera down and show you guys And that's basically what it's like to walk around with a walking taco at the Magic Kingdom. I Want to test out the Magic Band plus and see if it grants me access For pulling the sword in the stone now. I don't know if that's a part of the benefits But if it is I think they'd sell a lot more Magic Band pluses Oh That was for Joe Joe, but no luck. I'm still not worthy not worthy enough for the sword in the stone Now we're gonna make our way into Pinocchio's village house to try the baklava But first I want to go see if the Magic Band plus is gonna work on the statue over here at Pinocchio I think the interaction with them they light up and they speak So we're gonna test it out and see how it goes As soon as I got close it actually vibrated like two times, but I don't know if it's gonna do anything do you wave What do you do? Wave like that A real boy it worked I'm so happy it worked This is Yeah, just wait that's all you had to do holy moly I don't know if it's gonna do it again, but you heard him you heard him. I'll be in a real boy I got so excited over him talking and it's kind of funny because he's a statue and he's saying he's gonna be a real boy So it's really cool And as soon as I approached it like as soon as I walked up the statue it first vibrated like twice and then when I got there I waved and he spoke Also, I want to point out check out this really awesome sticker I got from the photo pass photographer in front of the sword and stone hero of fantasy land I'll take that title any day. I Just got a notification that our baklava was available. I mobile ordered it and I love coming into Pinocchio's It's so pretty in here. Isn't it? It's so nice and it kind of looks like it's daylight even when it's not daylight Looks like we're outdoors like at a fancy German like market And of course I had to come up to my favorite place the second floor of Pinocchio's village house and Let's dive into the baklava. I Really do love how they're doing different countries food for the 50th anniversary treats here at Pinocchio's I think last month was the tress leches. I'm not too sure I can't remember I did come out and try it and now we're in Greece and I love baklava I love pistachio baklava the best, but this one's gonna be really good I like how they put a little hint of Mickey with the whipped cream on top there I thought that was fancy and I like it. I like walnuts, too. So we're gonna dive in and Yeah, I'm excited for this This looks so good. All right, here we go, and I love the crispiness Make sure we get some of that whipped cream on there a little dabby dab and perfect I hope it'll get whipped cream in my beard That is amazing. I love it so good. Can you hear that crispness in there? Wow And the whipped cream just adds the perfect little touch to it It's hard to get a part though But I love it when you get a good bite you get a good bite This definitely is gonna be my new favorite treat for the 50th anniversary line that they have here This is so good. Like I feel like this belongs at food and wine Wow Now this is labeled a traditional baklava and it's walnut with honey simple syrup But I love this like it is so good Like I'm still shocked.  I should have got more whipped cream with it I just love sitting up here and looking out at the view. It is so amazing I know I showed it here before but it is such a beautiful view from up here And you can't beat it with a little baklava I dropped my baklava But seriously look at that view. This is my view. I'm sitting right here Eating my baklava and this is this is what I'm staring out at It's beautiful. I love being at the magic kingdom I decided to buy genie plus just so I can test out the magic band plus And I'm gonna do the barnstormer. Look, there is one unavailable lighting lane in three minutes So I'm gonna book it and then we can test out the effects Bada boom I am now just realizing I paid $15 just to see if my $44 magic band plus works When I touch it at the lightning lane because I don't think we're gonna ride anything else I do plan on heading over to hollywood studios and meeting up with some friends And we're gonna do some cool things with the magic band plus that you can only do in hollywood studios But uh, at least we get to ride the barnstormer Testing out the magic band plus. I don't know how it works It did oh it vibrated. That's cool. Yeah, it vibrated I couldn't tell if there was any other like additional colors But uh, it'll do that whether it's charged or not like if if if the magic band plus isn't charged and it's dead Then it's just a regular magic band, but it did vibrate. It did some funny stuff. I liked it. It kind of felt funny And there was no point in doing lightning lane Thank you Yep, that's uh, that's the separation part But it was well worth it because we got to test that bad boy out I was trying with run though because that would be kind of cool Look at it. It's almost done. It's almost built. Look at that tunnels coming along pretty well This is really really nifty I'm so excited for that.   I got to see Tron actually running like that was perfect timing Front row on the barnstormer and I like how it kind of starts with a fork in the road This actually goes back This is where the barnstormers go at night to sleep and this is the way for the attraction How funny would it be if we just went that way? Oh I love this ride so much though. I'm gonna be honest. It does go by very fast though Oh Look at that looks like no rain today either. Oh boy. I don't want to lose my hat the propellers are spinning We're done So fast Fly again soon. I love I've never noticed that the propellers spin really up front. Look at that Well, it was really fun to ride barnstormer But I think we're gonna start making our way back down main street walking down main street I should have kept my walking taco so we could have walked down main street with a walking taco That would have been awesome And then making our way over to hollywood studios I don't want to alarm anybody But this is the end of the line for space mountain It's almost leaving tomorrow land and it's not going straight to space mountain It's actually wrapping all the way around. I feel like I have to give you guys like a little time lapse Are we back like two years ago? Is this two years ago? I'm so confused. Like this is craziness I have never seen it like this except for during the pandemic But I'm gonna give you guys like a little like walkthrough just to see what it's like But this is all the people waiting in line To ride space mountain and it's saying it's only a 45 minute wait, which I I don't believe it is It can't be 45 minutes like This is insane at first. I thought it was the people mover, but Wow, look at this It even switched backs I can't even believe that This is something else right here Holy moly Yep, and it goes straight right into space mountain That is shocking, isn't it? Wowza anybody that hops in that line right there and thinks it's gonna be a 45 minute wait Must be new here like There's no way there is no way I Love walking down main street usa and seeing all the people coming in and they all have smiles on their face And they're all excited for the day It's always and also you can always spot out the people like their first time walking down main street They're kind of in on they're just looking around. That's how I am. I just love it Now we're gonna use our magic band plus to teleport over to hollywood studios How cool would that be like there's how cool would it be if you could just like tap away and then teleport to a Different park every pretty fancy. Just like go like this And just like that we are at hollywood studios. Well, that was a little bit cheesy But I am the same person who thought having the magic band plus would help me pull the sword and the stone And now i'm gonna show you guys what it's like to check into the park So i'll show you what it was like checking in here with my magic band plus All right Trying the new band oh there it goes Kind of cool vibrate it change colors. I liked it Well, we used our magic band. I mean it flashed up and changed different colors it vibrated But I have to be honest I really love when I have a special edition magic band that does a special effect or does a A certain noise and stuff like that. I hope that they're gonna do something with magic band pluses in the future You know what I mean or else I would just keep on using my regular like limited edition magic bands And I have some great ones like I have ones that you know sing songs like boo to you or the Epcot one that I want to get so bad the one that says reflections of earth You know what I mean? I really hope like magic band plus actually does that again for those ones as well And that I might be on board But now that we're here at hollywood studios, let's meet up with our friends and do a little bounty hunting And uh, just use the magic band plus a little bit more get some drinks. Maybe ride some rides. Just have some fun Well, I was able to meet up with my friends and then it all of a sudden started raining But we're here and we're here to test out the magic plus a magic band plus and then also Some shenanigans with shawn's shirt. Look at this What's going on right now Film this way so you can't see anything going on in the back I'm gonna leave this all in no context Like literally no context, but I'm excited because you got maria here and you got chris lbv tv We got jonathan over there. We've got We've got promise and that's shawn right here Another cool thing that I just found out about the magic band plus is this one you can only get from tatooine traders Yeah, it has only grogu Look at that Little grogu only at tatooine very very fancy. I don't know if you can see it or not. I like it He's super huge super comfy and you can choose what color it lights up So I chose red because of course star wars little vibe there. I like it. I'm sold. I want one Let's go Looks like the rain might rain on our parade here I don't know if we can do much with the magic band plus if it's a downpour like this It's like kind of starting and stopping starting and stopping But I do want to see it at night because if you see it at night You're gonna be able to see the magic bands light up a little bit more like mine's blue right now The rain never bothered me anyway Holy moly Sideway rain Oh This is a really cool example to show you guys that sometimes things don't go the way that they are supposed to go Like the way that you plan them. We were supposed to come here show some of the cool stuff But we got uh, you know hit with the rain. So instead we just kind of hung out and now uh, the rain is stopping and we're gonna go, uh Do our magic band plus things and then we're going to ogres. So like that's a that's a great day If we don't film it all the magic band should be pulsating right now Is it pulsating once you get close to them? It should start. Yep Yep, and then once you get up to it, all you're gonna do is just wave at them Oh, look, they're doing it. Let them wave first Okay, mine's waving.  We're under the scan by brand new magic band plus And then that now i'm going to have to find someplace around about to A bounty and i'm the bounty hunter. I like it. It's yeah, so i'm looking for criminals guys that have been You know arrested or trying to evade being arrested. I'm going to scan here. Yeah I'm batu secondary outpost the the batu outpost and they're going to give me my next mission because i've already A core level bounty hunter. So i'm game. Are you guys ready? Let's go Here we're going to find our happy hunting. Who's our next bounty? So here here so i'm going to scan It's green Jaga vador and so we have to find them so that came up on my phone as well So jaga that's who i'm looking for and so now what's going to happen is every time everywhere I walk around batu my my magic band is either going to be green or red if it's green then i'm walking in the correct direction If it's red i'm not walking in the correct direction. It's like let's go get that job on Let's go get that job This is really really cool and you guys definitely have to check out christ's channel lbb tv I'll put a link for everyone's channel in the description But they're going to have a little bit more of an in that like coverage in depth coverage of the home tower bounty hunting thing I think it's really awesome. I think it's really really fancy Hmm I know. Yeah, jaga did he sold toys in the marketplace so we have to go to the marketplace to find him, but Do the bounty now, hi serpents Where's jaga Oh, thank you Yeah Oh I'm leaving that in oh jojo. What a burn Wow Basically to sum it up to bounty hunters You have to walk around and it's like hot or cold if it lights up red You've gone too far and it starts pulsating like super fast when you're getting close And when you do find them it lights up purple and that's when you collect the bounty That's when you catch them. So that's what chris is kind of doing. He's like going all over checking everything It's red no Try that door green again that one The bathroom. Yeah, go grab the guy at the stall. Do you think joggers in the bathroom? He's not even a third stop to grab him It's right Bounty hunting is actually a very difficult thing So I think we're gonna go, you know recharge our batteries and the best place to do that here in galaxy's edge Is probably at august canteen Chris has found jaga. I found jaga guys. All right. All right. Tap to activate Search in the doorway We got him. All right. Who's grabbing off the stall? What's he doing in there? Tap to report You got him tap to report target located. Congratulations. Collect your credits collect our credits. Wow So now we're going to go back and get our credits.

This is a good day right here. This is a good day This is the place to be And with that I think we are done here today I had so much fun going from magic kingdom over to hollywood studios hanging out with some friends The rain didn't damper the spirits at all, which that's the way it should be You should still have fun in disney even though it's raining and yeah, it was a great day I do have to say after playing around with the magic band a little bit or the magic band plus I feel like it is really great here at hollywood studios for the bounty hunting But I mean, I I don't see a lot out of it Other than like that fireworks. Maybe that's about it I mean the statues are really cool and then seeing the notification when you're close to where you're supposed to go That's also fun as well. But I really miss like the customization Oh, I don't miss it because they do still exist But I really want to see like special edition magic bands things that say certain things things that light up and Change colors or have a song to them. Those are the things that I like most You know what I mean? And if magic band plus can incorporate that then I think it's going to be a hit I really do think it'll like will be a hit and Till then I think I'm going to stick to just my regular magic bands I mean as much as I had enjoyed unless I come here and do bounty hunting I like going to the parks with my galactic starcruiser magic band or my very merry like Christmas party one or the hollow the mickey's not so scary halloween one those ones they they do special effects and I like it So, uh, yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it My glasses are probably super fogged up now But let me know what you guys think in the comments about Magic band plus and we'll see you next time Bye
