It didn't have quite the same rhythm as the others in the series, particularly in parts where I felt the males were pausing as if they needed to rethink what they were about to say next because there was a woman present. And Chris even turned creepy toward Morgan at one point, realised his mistake, and then had to recover.
It also seems that the three main players aren't really getting into Next the same way they got into 4E.
Anyway, I remain a big fan of AI but it wouldn't surprise me if this season is the last one.

What else would he be using when the books aren't published yet? I think this was more a sign that he was working from PDFs and picture files rather than anything more substantial.
That said, I suspect we will see what happened with 4E until the lawyers mindlessly put a kibosh to it: you'll be able to buy the PDFs shortly after the edition's official release.

Fair enough. I'm just watching with hopeful eyes that he was doing more than just reading off of a PDF, which is likely what he was doing. Curious though as to what tool(s) he was using for record keeping (initiative, etc) on the iPad.

My apologies, too: on re-reading my reply I could see how that could come across more harshly than I intended.
Anyway, WotC doesn't have the online tools team any more for anything fancy, and the industry/ex-staffer leaks suggest that they are unwilling to pay the salaries necessary to attract a decent online tools team, nor the management ability to actually get the best out of such a team. Of course, that's been a problem since 2000 and it is 2014 now....
The more I watch this, the more I want to jump up and flip their table over, I would be able too no problem, and scream at all of them to please stop with the interruptions with all the bad jokes and comments.
I would end up pulling my hair out if this was my group.

No worries, I didn't take it as harsh
I agree, it's a sad state of affairs at WotC, for sure.
I'm probably reading WAY too much into it, but I can't help thinking it's a little indictment to WotC that their even their "DM to the stars" is using digital tools. It smells like a subtle endorsement, anyway.
Or maybe I'm panning for gold in a dry river bed.
It's not for you.
The day some comedians can't have a laugh promoting a thing is the day the human race should collectively shoot itself in the head.
Same for the day that fans fail to realise that every promotional effort isn't directed at them personally and isn't designed as a documentary on correct gaming methods.
In short, if a particular ad or outreach doesn't tickle you personally, then just move on. If it makes you want to tip tables over and scream, the problem doesn't lie with them.

I like to play the game and actually get things done, if you are going to stop the game and tell a joke then please actually make it a good one. This is not a great way to introduce the game to a new audience.
