Half-Orcs Alternate Intro
Added 2017-09-18 03:55:37 +0000 UTCThe intro is the same, its what comes after it that changed at the last minute...
This is the original working edit of the front 2 minutes of the Half-Orcs show. You can tell that Jim has absolutely no idea that we have started rolling and doing the show. He recovers quickly.
Why did we change it? After all, it is referenced in the stinger.
Well, first off, the energy is low. The release version starts much stronger, and still mentions the rape-y origins of common half-orcs.
The second is, well, whenever you bring up the r-word, you have to do it carefully, and I think the release version did a better job with that.
This is one of those instances when I'll cut it and show it to the guys asking "should I cut out the front bit?" knowing full well that I will. It's mostly to confirm what my instincts are already telling me.
I try to be very mindful of new viewers, especially in the front of each show. It needs to be inclusive and high-energy, even at the expense of something I like.
Still kept the stinger. It was worth it.
