Also WTF is Matt Walsh doing in a basketball game? That's such odd casting. For a voiceover, sure, but his likeness?

Question about the TAZ finale:

what was the attack Joaquin did in reference to? I don't dig Overwatch so I didn't get the first one. is this more reference to that?

i think it was a reference to Pharah's ultimate, where she flies up and launches down a volley of rockets.

Honest suggestion: are you faster at reading? There's fan transcripts out there and it looks like they're done except for the last episode. It's still a lot of material, but it might be more manageable for you? Here's what Google pulled up.

You'll miss out on voices and music and what have you, but you can go back and listen to individual bits or songs online.

I play a ton of Overwatch and I still had no idea what Griffin was talking about because I couldn't remember Joaquin doing anything resembling an Overwatch ult. Guess I should go back and relisten to that bit.

I was kind of surprised by Final Hunger because Justin at least I know it's a video gamer. How in the world do you, a person who has played video games, not immediately unload everything you have into the green orb. As soon as he said it was green I knew what it was gonna do.

just because someone plays videogames doesn't mean they're any good at them.

What was even worse was after it was revealed beyond a shadow of a doubt what the green orb does they still didn't take it out right away! You kill the healer first! That's just a fact of life!

On the plus side not killing the healer gave them more chances for bond summoning before they actually killed him.

I assumed the Blue Orb they took out first was some sort of shield that blocked damage too so it would also have been a solid first target. Green should totally have been next though

Magnus chose to use a bond attack on the red orb before the green one because it was "hurting [his] friends" because he was using in-character justification for his actions, which I appreciated because I try to do the same when I play RPGs.

the order makes sense when you think about how they had enough damage to burst down an orb per turn but then with the dps orbs active John had enough damage to kill two of them a turn.

Me, too. I think it was one of the few bits where you had to be a gamer to make any sense of it. Not just for the in-jokes, but for a sense of what the individual parts of the battle were.

You're not the only one. It's busy as hell and there's a lot of it. I had to relisten to the middle third for sure. I'm waiting until the postmortem before I pass judgment though.

Welp, I finally finished the last TAZ Balance ep. I am very happy with that ending. I was never that into the Magnus & Julia stuff, but for some reason that scene was what finally made me burst into tears.

Side note, I went to the march in Boston yesterday wearing my TAZ donor bandana, and someone actually recognized it and struck up a conversation with me. I also passed some people talking about a Sizzle It Up With Taako shirt like 2 minutes from my apartment on Friday. :tinfoil: Is there any reliable metric on how popular this show is?

I think my favorite Travis-ism in both MBMBaM and TAZ is when someone starts pitching an insane concept or explaining a weird idea, and Travis just utters a fascinated "Uh-huh?" in a tone that says he's fully aware of how nuts this is, but he really wants to see where it goes next.

I wonder (not in spoilers cause it was like two or three episodes back), when the void fish broadcasted their life stories to the multiverse, did Magnus get the memories he sacrificed in the suffering game back.

I got into a convo on Twitter about it, and it is.

e: The thing in that scene that blew me away was Justin's acting. He played "completely dead inside" devastatingly well, and his counting down was downright scary.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?

Or when he tries to make up a scenario where something weird that happens in the question is logically acceptable

Not sure about raw numbers but MBMBAM get about 5 million hits a week.
Both Griffin and Jessie Thorn have said that TAZ is more popular.

TAZ is incredible. If they released an album with even more music and SFX, I'd pay any price.
