Matt and Pat continue to be totally vicious in today's Walking Dead episode. Seriously you guys it's kinda weirding me out.

"I HATE KENNY SO MUCH HE RUINS EVERYONE AND DOESNT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE" they say in the same breath as "MAN I CANT WAIT FOR THE CHANCE TO KILL OFF NICK". :allears:

Oh, I'm not debating that it's funny, it's just that they're making this the worst playthrough of TWD Season 2 on YouTube and I don't think they even realize it at this point in the videos. There are like 5 cumulative minutes in the most recent episode where they are not making GBS threads on Kenny or Pregnant Lady and half of that is probably them going "OHHHH" at all the exciting stuff.

To be fair, I think it's especially funny because I know exactly what's gonna happen to them and how badly they're going to gently caress everything up and it makes it so much funnier for me.

Personally I think TWD Season 2 would've been better with Spec-Ops: The Line style loading screens.

Anime toys are super expensive because the people making them know that only nerds will buy them and said nerds would buy them at any price.

Them making GBS threads on Kenny and Rebecca are what make it the best playthrough of WD Season 2. Making commentary for a not terrible but also not great game is really hard, and all the boat stuff and pointing out all the glitches/ hanging is hilarious. What else do you want, them soberly discussing how the game is pretty good, but not as well written as Season 1 for seven-ish hours?

I'm all for making GBS threads on Kenny but some of the Rebecca jokes make me a wee bit uncomfortable.

Also, Kenny is an impulsive rear end in a top hat that treats Clem as some sort of weird surrogate daughter and constantly makes bad decisions without listening to anyone - not even Clem - that jeopardize other people's lives. There's a good number of reasons to dislike him and seeing that the whole idea of an LP is to be entertaining, exaggerating that feeling's fair game.

It's because it's pretty much Etrian Odyssey: Persona, but I don't think Pat has explained his extreme hate for Etrian Odyssey beyond "I tried one of the games once", he probably doesn't know that the mapping mechanic is entirely optional in the newer games.
It's not that different from Persona 1 or SMT:Strange Journey in the exploration sense, and the battles are just straight-up traditional JRPG battles like in Dragon Quest, but kind of difficult and interesting.
I'm sure they'd all admit that the soundtrack to the games is amazing though.

I think the rest just said they haven't tried Etrian Odyssey and follow Pat's advice?

gently caress, now I want to play Etrian Odyssey 4 again.

Like I was mostly joking earlier but now I legit don't really want to finish watching the playthrough because of their attitude toward characters that are not Clementine. I understand that you gotta work with what you have and be funny and stuff but I guess all of the making GBS threads on other characters they're doing just isn't my brand of humor.

Does anyone else think that the best friends have been spending too much time around each other? Matt and Pat in TWD LP and Pat and Woolie in the DS2 LP argue over the smallest things in the most "we've gotten really sick of each other" way. It's gotten to the point with the Dark Souls 2 LP that I"m considering giving it up or watching on mute. Agh, I love these guys but it puts me in a bad mood :(

What's great is that they're basically just Kenny at this point. making GBS threads on Reggie at the same time as him in almost the same way, taking every minor slight as an excuse to murder someone, throwing everyone else under the bus every chance they get, it's Kenny all the way down.

Dude, you called it the worst TWD LP in Youtube because they're not making the choices/having the attitude you'd have. Can't you see how that could be construed as you being a bit of a....babby?

Bullshit. When I said "I don't find it funny" perhaps I should've made a 2,000 word post about the intricacies of every decision they've made and why I didn't like it not because it's not what I would have done, but because the way they are handling the video game is not entertaining to me. I did not think I would have to explain it in detail so I didn't.

Or I could just say that I don't find it funny oh whoops I did do that and someone pretended I didn't for no reason

edit: To clarify even further, this happens with every single video game playthrough that involves multiple choices. If you don't like it, the first response people jump to is that it's because you don't like the way it's being played and because you played it differently etc. But that's not the case because that's stupid.

But all his decisions in S2 are good ones and pretty much only ever go awry due to the interference/stone-walling from the rest of the incompetent baby group?

He fires a gun at a guy that has proved he will kill innocent people, despite Clem asking him not to, and makes the situation worse because he's a bad shot; he tries to make a crazy escape plan when held hostage by the same insane fucker that would've definitely killed him and the others, judging by what happened to Reggie; and his most recent plan is "let's just send a bunch of zombies our way, we can get out of this right guys right".

Good intentions and good decisions aren't the same.
