On the subject of Liam...

I'm listening to this week's podcast, and is he REALLY trying to argue that the characters in DARKSTALKERS aren't marketable? Seriously?

Ahahaha, I was facepalming the whole time him and Pat were going on about it. I loving LOVE Rival Schools/Project Justice. Love it. A lot. More than Darkstalkers. But how can anyone not see why crazy versions of movie monsters which include two certain... ahhhh star players like Morrigan and Felicia would be more looked at than a fighting game featuring a cast who are just regular folks (mostly) 2/3rds of which are wearing school uniforms with little differences. I mean I can get liking something real hard and that sort of distorting your view but in regards to Rival Schools I don't think they're on planet Earth anymore.

He is absolutely, 100% using it as a crutch. But as has been said before, trying to talk in an engaging way all the time while playing a skill-intensive video game is not easy, so I don't blame him for playing on auto-pilot. And Dark 2 basically didn't have parries, they were so bad, so it's just falling back on the familiar while he's trying to multi-task. Pat has a lot more variety in his approaches, and is actually willing to try new weapons, because he's so much more experienced with Souls games.

That's understandable but it kinda leads to making the videos bland to watch. I'd compare it to watching someone do ABC combos in Marvel 3 or something and nothing else. Yeah it's effective and gets the job done in some situations but it's the same thing over and over again and it's just kinda painful to watch when it's clearly punishing him more then helping him. I'm legit concerned that he's somehow forgot how to fight completely after seeing him botch the alien encounter in the woods.

Like I feel bad for Woolie as he seems legit upset on twitter about people making fun of how he plays but... why not try to fix it or at least roll with it? Lashing out at fans is what I'd expect from DSP.

Darkstalkers characters/cast has already proven itself to be not be a 'head turner'/marketable. It's why it's not around/people don't give two fucks about it outside of Fight games nerds like us/the Zaibatsu. Like even looking at it as Anime Versions of well known/beloved horror movie monsters it's kind of a failure on that front. Everything very very exaggerated to the point that most people are gonna look at it and just laugh it off. "Come see our sexy cat lady, the corniest least cool Dracula ever, and the dreaded Generic Furry Wolfman!" doesn't really appeal to a mass market.

A bit behind on the podcast, just listened to the end of the April 6th one and had to laugh at Woolie trying to hint at an 'adventure' coming up and everyone being like nope nuh-uh that's not a thing! because it was too early to announce.

Meta joke. The sonic videos are janky as hell and cut at random because their videos about Sonic games. Even Youtube is in on it.

It is weird, because they aren't set to unlisted or anything. They just, like, aren't showing up on the channel at all. I think Youtube had some kind of hiccup when they uploaded them originally. I've been encountering lots of weird annoyances with Youtube lately, like broken thumbnails and videos saving my place sticking permanently to one spot in the vid etc.

Almost nothing is right about this game. It's only natural the videos are the same :v:

Still good podcast material.

I also appreciate that this has a very MKX story mode where the script changes to make whoever you're playing as the best character. Sonic kind of scoffs at Tails during his gameplay, now that you're Tails Sonic is AMAZED at how cool Tails is.

Yeah, it shows up fine on the website and in subscriptions. Thing is though, if you have too many subscriptions uploading too many videos on the same day, Youtube suddenly decides to selectively remove videos from the list because... well because they're incompetent that's why.

I'm loving loving this sonic playthrough, because its basically Metroid Fusion all over again. Liam quietly plays through a game and sometimes gets hype about a thing happening while Woolie and Matt chit chat about stupid poo poo in the background. I'm unironically excited to see how far away from Sonic they are able to drift in casual conversation.

Knuckles does that when he digs in SA2. I forget if he does it in 1 as well but I definitely remember it in 2.

Yeah I thought I said it before but they should really think about doing more 3-person LPs. Having two people who can shoot the poo poo or bicker or come up with plans and theories while a third one actually plays the game(possibly competently!) makes for great entertainment.

I realize this would be much more staffing-intensive, but they seem to be having a ton of fun in this LP in particular, so hopefully it would be a similar deal with others.

But every second of the LP seems to disagree with you. As someone that never played the 3D Sonic games, they look objectively bad. Bad in a charming way maybe, but still just bad.

With the exception of Big's stages, I personally feel that while SA1 and 2 are bad games, they're still enjoyable to play. It's one of those rare cases where it's a bad game in a lot of ways, but it still manages to be fun where it counts.

Chao garden is chill and cute so yes I agree.

I think "bad in a charming way" is definitely a good way to describe the game overall. I hope the guys suffer through SA2 as well just because it'll be more of this series to watch.
