Half of Dracula: Oct 24, 2008; Perhaps the same could be

purple death ray posted:

Anything with Game Counselor Dracula is great. I really liked the Westerado one too. I have bought several of these games based on the overview videos actually.

Are there more Dracula overview vids besides 1001 Spikes and Titan Souls?

Justin and Griffin McElroy�s Best Polygon Game Overviews

[not �best� in terms of giving good game overviews, �best� in terms of McElroy hilarity]

Who�s Your Daddy? - it�s a game where one player is a baby trying to kill themselves by drinking bleach, drowning in bathtubs, etc. while the dad tries to baby proof the house and keep the baby alive. hilarity ensues.

I Expect You To Die - Griffin is a little tipsy and he makes Justin tell him how to play the game, while occasionally actively working against him (Justin is frustrated and charmed by turns).

Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 - Griffin tries to do some car maintenance with Justin on commentary. Griffin doesn�t know how cars work and after a while they stop caring about repairing the cars and it becomes a small mob operation? it�s very fun.

American Truck Simulator - Griffin is bad at being a truck driver. the way they play this one reminds me of monster factory. �Wow, it only costs you $250 to drive the wrong way down the highway! I think for that kind of thrill it�s a-worth it!�

Rust - Griffin and Justin wander around Rust and have some great interactions with other people in the game

Girl�s Club - Griffin is very distressed by the game�s sexism, Justin has a great time picking his dream dates, and dream boys.

Catlateral Damage - this one�is a trip. it�s 23 minutes long and over the course of the video Justin realizes that Griffin is attempting to hold him hostage by refusing to end the video and it becomes a wild battle of wills.

Spooky�s House of Jumpscares - Justin isn�t in this one, but you get to hear Griffin get a little spooked. it involves scared laughter and many distressed �alright. so- alright�s

Staying on the automotive tip, I liked the Car Mechanic video as well.

They're mostly decent, to be honest. I Am Bread is another pretty great one. Some of the best are where one brother (supposedly) really doesn't want to be doing it, like Catlateral or Girl's Club. Another that hasn't come up yet is the Stardew Valley: How I Found the Fun one where Justin is just not into the concept at all.

Nick you swap the 'r' and 'i' and then replace 'f' with 's' and you're done. It's not hard when you don't think with your boner.

I think that's it really, there just aren't that many games with funny character creators that they haven't already done.

I'm guessing that E3 + meetings and the TAZ finale have kept Griffin too busy to stick to the regular schedule.

I've only heard the first couple eps of TAZ but that was a few months ago, is it ending soon or just the first campaign or what?
I doubt it's worth asking here if it's worth listening to since I'm sure you'll all say yes, I just for some reason never got around to it.

Just the first campaign. It's ending on episode 69, then the week after they're going to do another the the adventure zone zone (the podcast where they take questions and talk about behind the scenes stuff), then they're going to post the SDCC live show and come back with some one-shots

There are several arcs, but yes this campaign with these characters is ending next week.

I'd say give it a shot. There's some difference of opinion of how long it takes to really get going. People generally get hooked somewhere in the first arc. If you aren't interested by the time the first interlude comes around, then it's probably not for you.

Also listen to the 1.5 episode, not the first first episode. That first episode is very long and not super interesting, but the recut version is better.

Spookin with Scoops was top 5 Giant Bomb content and I will fight anyone that says otherwise. I loved the Resident Evil intro with Simone that Polygon did a few months ago and I'm dying for more.

It's way off from McElroy content, but I'm reminded because I'm watching The International where he's hosting, but Day9 playing Amnesia and being terrified and also just...terrible at the game is probably my favourite video Let's Play of all time.
