The first episode of Wonderful! is very cute. The ASMR-y nature of it is really nice although I'm worried it'll cause me to start napping on public transport.

The only ones that really even remotely fell flat gameplay wise were the MMO ones, and any point in a Bethesda game in which they weren't under the influence of console commands. IMO, at least.

Blade and Soul? Champions Online???

the mcelroys are very open about their personal lives to an extent so out of respect maybe don't pry and speculate about anything they're not interested in sharing yet?

Champions Online was great because the character creator is crazy as poo poo, the whole "Let's bring the fans into this" thing where they all went into a more difficult area and survived out of sheer force of numbers, and the creators being pretty chill with them.

I hope the game got a few regulars out of that. I made an account, but haven't played much because my hard drive is too small and I can only have so much real estate on there.

My least favorite Monster Factories are Conan and Saint's Row 3. Conan just has one joke and that's it. Saint's Row is annoying for me to watch because Griffin keeps dragging on a game series I like for poor writing (and I'll admit that 3 and 4 are weaker than 2 in terms of writing) that gets really tiring really fast. Granted, when he says "family guy south park humor" he might just mean "lul random and edgy" while when I hear the term I think "transphobic jokes and trying to be faux-intellectual while making fart jokes".

Say WHAT?! You KNOW that post is wack, homie!
Gameplay in regular games works best when they decide to have bizarre restrictions as a character choice, like throwing everything in Dragon's Dogma or no guns in Bloodborne

The Deenpus troll peeking around the corner of the building might have been the funniest part of the Conan video, though. I'll sometimes rewatch it just for that moment.

Black Desert Online probably has the biggest quality difference from one of the best character creation sequences to some of the dullest Gameplay.

A friend in my DND group just pestered me into listening to the Adventure Zone, and suddenly I'm 25 episodes in, listening to the best DND campaign I wish I was part of. I mean, DND Wacky Races/Mad Max is just such a kick rear end idea that I'm mad I've never seen it anywhere else.

It's funny that Griffin said he was inspired by the Fast and Furious series for that arc but everyone thinks about Mad Max instead. It's way more Fury Road than F&F.

11:13: Despite Gio Gonzalez warning, "Never mix your sparkling juices," Bryce Harper opens another bottle of sparkling grape and mixes it with sparkling cider.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?
So is there no Zone cast this week despite the fact that it's an older recording?

I thought that's why they queued up a bunch of live shows to release over the next month. But maybe they got caught up preparing for the tour and Griffin gave up on editing for now.
