Edit: Sorry if I'm cranky, but yeah, yesterday got a few thousand dollars stolen from my account, which is why I couldn't be on the podcast yesterday as I had to go to bank to sort it all out, not that anyone probably missed me.

Jesus, that sucks, how does that even happen? You manage to get that sorted out?

Honesty I think the only problem with solo LPs is that often times you have the one person thinking that they should be constantly talking. Watch one of Super Great Friend's LPs (Deadly Premonition or Spy Fiction) because he has a knack for allowing the game to actually breathe if that makes any sense. Or as an other example Kay Plays Dark Souls is good because she only talks to convey what she is currently thinking. She isn't trying only to be an entertainer.

It just takes practice.

Sorry to see you in a foul mood, I hope you get everything sorted out. I can't imagine how much of a pain that is, worst I've had to deal with was having to replace a debit card I left in an ATM drunk and that was a huge pain in the rear end.

Could be worse, man. These days you've got a good bit of security in place to protect you in these situations with your bank account. When my mom had her identity stolen, the guy made off with a quarter million dollars and she was financially hosed forever, we're STILL suffering due to it nearly two decades later.

Wait, holy gently caress, 250k gone just like that? Jesus fuckin' Christ.

I'll assume credit card fraud on Matt's case, that also sucks but hopefully it's relatively painless to get it sorted out. Does Canada do the chip thing on their cards?

Yeah I'm a lawyer and I remember reading about cases where scumbags would impersonate other people and got loving mortgages placed on people's homes. Changed huge parts entire land title system because of it.

People can just be loving dicks.

Be aware that there are incredible lengths thieves will go to get your money. In this case it was date her for a year and a half before vanishing with a quarter million charged to her cards and taken out of her bank account/savings/whatever he could take that wasn't nailed down that he had access to. Nowadays there's a lot more countermeasures in place to stop that sort of thing but back then, nooooope

It was a dude who spent his entire life being a parasite on others. Hadn't worked a day in his life. Specifically, he preyed on battered women, mom was his twelfth victim. He had a child that he specifically raised to be an accomplice. Purestrain psychopath.

That was part of it, not a mortgage per se, but definitely some huge purchases that nowadays nobody would even dream of accepting without signatures and like three different confirmations.

Where is it not mandatory? I live in the US and every card I've used came with a randomly generated PIN that you had to use.

I'm in florida and my credit card has no pin at all. Chip came about a four or five months ago. My debit card has a pin but that's a debit card and it's linked to my bank account.

Oh. Alright. Not sure what this means. What's a jumping off point? I thought testing a game for 6 months is a good jumping off point. It's why I did the LP to begin with, and I thought it made it really unique. Not trying to jump on you, but I literally don't understand the criticism. You can rip the band-aid off and say, "I just prefer Woolie and Pat." which is something I would rather people do, instead of a confusing non-statement.

I didn't mean anything by it man, I just feel like you work better with a partner to fire jokes off of and react to than you do on your own, which is something I feel Pat and Woolie excel at a little better. I even said I really enjoyed the No More Heroes LP because of your insider knowledge and I was one of the first to back you up on twitter about the bloodborne video idea. I don't really have a favorite because everybody has strengths and weaknesses, just because somebody jackoff on the internet thinks Woolie's better at solo commentary than you doesn't make you "bluh worst best friend ever." :colbert:

edit: also hope you can sort out the money problem, man. was wondering what the crymetyme-related issue they mentioned on the podcast was.

The closest was his super on time top 10, which was pretty good though he repeated himself a lot.

It'd probably be similar to his Outlast stream except with less or perhaps an equal amount of girly screams.

I think so, I also vaguely remember it having a slightly lower production value, but went into more detail and compared each game to other similar games in the same genre.

To be honest I think Matt's solo LP career is more personable in that he tries to engage with the viewer because he cares about No More Heroes. He cares so naturally the caring trickles down to us. Plus it's evident it was a special point in his life I think he says so in the LP. So when you get really personal games that the Zaibatsu genuinely want to show us the best of you feel it more.

I mean don't get me Wrong. I appreciate woolie's reboot LP but at that point that's more a trial woolie created, because he wanted to kill Reboot for himself before the new show does.

Ask for the Pat Stares video? I once had an acid trip where I experienced ego death. That video is basically a summary of my night.

Wow, that blows. I hope the bank doesn't gently caress you around.

I don't want to pry but do you have any indication of who did it or how it happened? Like, do you have any reason to think people specifically targeted you or was it just bad luck? I'd hate to think people would go as far as stealing your loving money because they didn't enjoy some video or whatever.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
For me Woolie's solo thing is an amusing watch at someone dying inside because a bad canadian cartoon had a bad game, Pat's is an eerie and gentle talk as he sorta does a thing but Matt's are closer to hanging out with a pal telling a story, and NMH I super cared for that story since he lead the testing on that game and had so much to talk about it, but for DKC2 as earnest as the LP was I didn't keep with it because Donkey Kong is a good fun platformer, so for me it's nowhere near as fun to watch as it is to simply play it, like i'd probably have a rough time keeping up with the crew if they did a full LP of a Mario game since i'd just go and play it instead.

I think this is also why Matt's streaming works so well, he's super engaging and having viewers to engage with makes it even better. Plus Zach's there.
