I hope the Lazarus pits rejuvenate Matt; my only sadness is suspending Unleashed, but it's a small price to pay for more Matt in the long run. I'm also in favor of subbing in Paige, she's a professional funny lady, likes video games, and throws a Herculean amount of shade on Pat. Though I also understand if not; it might be weird for Pat/Paige as a couple to have basically zero time apart.

Considering that Matt said the format changes were to provide more variety of content, I highly doubt they are going to move over to 10-minute videos and make every lp have the length of 7 lps. What's more likely is something like a stricter streaming schedule or more videos of them watching bad anime movies from the 80's.

I am all for more of this. They need to watch MD Geist or 8-Man: After or something.

And the 10-minute video thing was purely speculation based on someone else's speculation, but I know it's a popular thing to do and didn't know how ~THE ALGORITHM~ was effecting things.

The real reason Matt is taking a break is because he called his in-laws Spagos and now he has to disappear for a while.

Matt's my favorite of the crew (though woolie and I apparently have the same taste in everything) so it's sad to see that he's getting a little burnt out.They really do put out a ton of content and I can understand why a break would be needed. Hope he's not gone for months.

Least I know it likely won't be permanent.

They really need to hire an editor like years ago. They're like the only huge subscriber base that still does their own videos at this point, which is nuts when you count up how many hours you lose and how they're still manually uploading videos.

Yeah, as easy as the LP Editing Process is, it's still something that eats into your time because of sync issues, rendering and uploading times. If they can afford to hire outside help it wouldn't be a terrible idea.

With the office they can hire an editor to work in a dark, dank room editing things together while they fart around in the main room to make content.

This break would be perfect if Friday Night Fisticuffs is killed forever and swapped for Best Friends Brawl and the occasional Saturday Morning Scrublords.

Yeah, I was really surprised at how seemingly confused he was getting. I wanted to point out some cool stuff he's been missing in the last area but I figured other people were already doing it and I shouldn't pile on. Glad I refrained.

Him actually caring about the game and not going into Podcast mode eliminates my complaints about the LP, the last few episodes have been really good.
Yeah, between this and Duckbill Mole they've been doing well, and I can't blame them for the absolute chore that was the desert area/Botos. I can't see much going wrong unless Woolie decides to take on Ninetails somehow.

While it sucks that he's burnt out on this, it's good that he recognized he was getting burnt out or stressed out and decided to take a break before it reached the point where he would've wanted to stop entirely. Just hope he's able to feel better in due time.

To be fair, the moment where you choose what to do with Claudia was also Pat being irritatingly vague and not warning him something was coming up. It was literally "OK, now what?" "You have 10 seconds." "...TO DO WHAT?!"

It's sad to see Matt go on a break, but yeah it really does feel like he needs it. Like in a few videos here and there he has seemed a bit off or swings downward on his mood until something funny happens and he gets back in it. Not including how Omikron actually killed them of course.

I hope this means we'll get another out of nowhere game from Pat and Liam, the most criminally underused of the best friend duos.

Also wondering what the "format changes" are going to be (please don't let them go to 10-minute videos like some other LPers do). I know YouTube keeps loving with their algorithm.

He's been saying for ages that he wants to do more scripted/performative stuff but lack of time and occasional inertia from the other guys keeps it from happening all that often.

The run button was hilarious, and was all worth it for the moment they found it.

Geno's maze wasn't the best, but overall I thought Super Mario RPG was a good ride.

First off, Matt is my favourite. I'm glad he's taking this time before he gets too frazzled. Seems like he's having a rough go, I hope he can come back even stronger than ever in 2017!

When Marvel vs Capcom Infinite got revealed, I saw a lot of gifs of Woolie with "When's Mahvel" signs, so I rewatched their Injustice Machinima video. It had a lot of great creative gags. I've also gone back to rewatch the SFxT new systems video ("Sacrifice your partner for more time on the clock") and yeah, that stuff is really great and I hope they figure out a way to do more. Woolie with the "When's Mahvel" sign outside the window, specifically, is a thing that got legit internet famous that they wrote, and that's gotta feel great. Not to mention all the cartoon edits that TheSw1tcher was known for before.

There is, you're right, but with one caveat. Jax was not just fat in high school, he was explicitly the fattest kid in high school.
