Woolie would probably get to play more if he didn't insist on sitting at 1/3 health  Probably for the best, his sense of direction has apparently vanished since DS2.

I find it hilarious whenever he starts spinning around or attacking air while Pat shouts at him and points at stuff IRL. Well that and a bit depressing. Can we get Mortal Kombat every day instead? I'd watch that for 3 months in a row (you know BB will take that long). Oh man Liam is loving furious.

In terms of Bloodborne's map I really can't blame him, that game has like a twisty turny cobble brick road and stairs fetish or something.

With how Johnny Cage is a able to beat up literal gods and have random "mystical powers ooo" I'm hoping the stinger is that MK X is literally just one of his movies.

He's descended from a Mediterranean warrior cult, he says so himself. It's a reference to one of his arcade endings. Smoke's line about being an Enenra is also a reference to his MK9 arcade ending. Smoke was a Czech kid killed by a cult as a sacrifice and came back as a ghost. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBndCAlHD0s

Literally everyone in here at some point or another has shat on one of the guys for being terrible at pronouncing things. I think one of my favorite things I've heard them mispronounce was Pat saying the english voice actors of Guilty Gear can't even say Ky's last name right, when he in fact is the one who can't say it right and even the Japanese VAs don't pronounce it anywhere near the same way he does.

I never really had any vested interest in Mortal Kombat so I wouldn't know if that was normal but they seem to be big on fighting games so even if they're not mind-reading psychics at this point I would assume the fights are really hard if one of them are having trouble with them.

Even pro players would have trouble with stuff like this because you can't fight a computer like you can a person. One can actually make mistakes you can capitalize on, the other is a mind-reading machine that is meant to make you suffer and halt progress. It is up to you to decide which is which.

Gaskwan is the closest we will ever hear Woolie pronounce a word in a french-canadian dialect so we may as well savor it.

Rodyle posted:Woolie would probably get to play more if he didn't insist on sitting at 1/3 health It's because him and Pat both still don't realize that the blood vials are incredibly plentiful so there's really no sense in being so sparing with them. I understand the thinking, but I've already had a few moments where I couldn't pick up any more vials because my inventory/storage was maxed out and I'm by no means a great player that never heals. If nothing else, they're also cheap to buy. And coming off DS2 level design, it's not a huge surprise that Woolie is getting a bit lost. That game was not nearly so interconnected as this one. Some levels are going to be really rough going if he's having trouble navigating the city areas though. Pat's having moments too, like his complete shock about that shortcut they opened that wasn't where he thought it was, to the point where he was doubting whether they opened one at all.

I can't listen to the podcast right now but I'm going to pre-emptively say that if his explanation isn't "It's a dumb unnecessary genre simplification that people say when they actually mean "like Metroid"," then I will be disappointed.

The term is dumb and vague anyway and is just a buzzword bad indies use to get press these days and which occasionally gets used on a good game (Axiom Verge and Ori are really fuckin' good). I can see it's usefulness as a banner term for games of both types but I don't think Liam's definition really helps for categorization purposes because then you've got obvious Metroid games and then Metroidvanias anyway. You may as well give Castlevania it's due and call a game like it a Castlevania-like or some such nonsense. He's not wrong, though, I just wish there was a name for them that didn't sound so damned stupid.

Language doesn't work the way Liam thinks it does, you can't always break a word into its components and just conclude its meaning from that alone. Otherwise, "anti-semite" would mean hating people from a huge swath of land including parts of Africa and Arabia. But no, it means hating Jews, because that word has taken on meaning beyond its literal construction. I'd argue Metroidvania is similar; it has gained a broader meaning than what it breaks down to.

It's almost like language is a fluid concept, and being pedantic about it like Liam is about everything is a bad way of going about it. Also, is Pat getting spicier these past few weeks? I've heard more "shitheads" being thrown out by him as of late. It's good. Counteracts Matt seeming to be making GBS threads on everything and everyone the past month. We need more vitriol, dammit!

I dunno, it's probably just me but like the past few podcasts has been him getting on Pat's and Woolie's case about stuff, in addition to being super standoffish to Tumblr asks. I'd have to go back and listen/look to remember the stuff he said - I remember him giving Pat poo poo for like 10 minutes at the beginning of the podcast like 3 weeks ago - but I remember it mostly just being a weird vibe. Honestly, thinking about it, it could have just been poo poo with his dad putting him on edge. Not gonna rag on the dude for it, just something I've observed. I'm gonna drop it, since it doesn't really effect the quality of the podcast/videos.
