And all the folksy sayings, I've picked up. Like "shoot the cannon indoors", "throw your hat over the fence", "keep your light under a bushel", "if you're going to town, might as well go in a Lincoln", etc. Not quite sunk to the level of "finer than a frog's hair split four ways (sanded down)" yet but I'm getting older, I'm sure that'll happen eventually

Anyone who has seen his Nuzlocke run knows he is totally fronting because he is not great, though no less fun to watch.

Bug types took till fifth gen to get good. If that was pre-gen V that was totally accurate. Besides Scizor and arguably Heracross, nobody used Bug types competitively, and it was only because Steel and Fighting were two of the most popular types in the game, with the former being genuinely broken as a typing to the point where TPC invented another type just specifically to counter Steel. If anything Scizor and Heracross being part Bug was a weakness, since the typing has so many weaknesses, so few strengths, and for the longest time there weren't any worthwhile Bug moves besides X-Scissor.

I haven't played a Pokémon game in years but whenever my Moon comes in (I have a bunch of flights coming up next month and need entertainment) I'm 100% picking only cute or cool looking dudes and dudettes for my party.

It's funny because I've heard both Justin and Griff turn on Travis on a dime, and then go full force. It's like every once in a while they have to purge and then they're cool again. drat that's middle child as hell.

I have basically never played video games except in the most casual sense, I can't even get past the tutorial for any first-person shooter on even the lowest difficulty setting, but I'm so into all of Nick and Griffin's Polygon stuff. Kind of a masterstroke for Polygon I guess!

Also Travis is a bright shining light of goodness and also character commitment in The Adventure Zone and I think it would be a lesser show without him (though that also goes for the rest of them)

I will be shocked if there is not eventually a Adventure Zone animated series. I don't know if it would just be using the original audio or if they'd re-record the dialog but whenever I see the Dan Harmon d&d fantasy cartoon thing I just want an AZ show to be real.

snucks posted:I definitely was not expecting Travis to be the best RPer of the bunch, given that almost all his goofs in mbmbam are sentence-long quips and he's rarely willing to even play the straight man when Justin or Griffin want to flesh out a bit. TAZ helps solidify that it's just a middlest-brother thing and he's comfortable improvising in a less established dynamic. I think it fits, actually. Clint and Justin are quick to abandon the story and their character in order to make a goof, though Justin has managed to fold that into Taako's personality most of the time. Travis seems much more concerned with the 'reality' of the story and being true to his character, and he's cut off a lot of potential jokes to do so.

Travis did like a 4 hour long AMA on his twitter as Magnus once. He has fully developed his character.

It makes perfect sense to me that the guy who loved stage acting enough to briefly pursue a career in it (albeit as a set designer) would be the most RP happy. Also, Travis had me rolling in the latest TAZ. Dude is funny as hell, he just works best when playing off of others. Nothing wrong with that.
