There's absolutely no benefit to not using the Medical Kits as soon as you find them, right?

In EW2? They don't expand your health anymore like they did in 1, so they're actually more regular "Hold up and use it when you need a big'un" heals now.

We've finally reached 「CRAZY TALK ACT 2」

Crazy Talk Act 1 was just being completely convinced that you were saying something right when you were wrong (and forcing people who correct you to also be wrong)

Crazy Talk Act 2 now forces you to be wrong, even when you're right.

Crazy Talk Act 3 will make every statement Pat has ever made wrong retroactively.

I don't think you know how stands work, friend. Act 2 turns his lies into wild cats. Act 3 lets him temporarily steal other people's height and hair by striking their shadow with his stand's blade.

Remember when we thought Pat was actually going to control Crazy Talk because he was eating candy in front of Paige's face without her knowledge? Araki is such a tease, I bet he forgot Pat could do that.

Okay so here's the breakdown:

Bastion has the best overall soundtrack, a mix of very good instrumental AND vocal themes.

Transistor has flat out the best single song in We All Become, but the rest of the soundtrack is pretty forgettable.

Pyre has really good instrumentals and actually probably would beat Bastion, were the weak vocal tracks not dragging it down.

Paper Boats. Transistor has the best vocal tracks in my opinion, Pyre has the best instrumentals or overall OST usage and Bastion has the most consistent soundtrack.

It's possible that Transistor just not landing causes me to not care as much about the vocals, cause I totally forgot Paper Boats.

To be fair I don't think they're ever going to quite hit the shock impact of when you first find Zia in Bastion.

As for Pyre, I think the sound design is maybe the second strongest part of that thing besides the absolutely fantastic writing (did in two sittings and drat the sleep lost). I especially love the different, totally unique barks for everyone which are like, the best implementation of Simlish you'll ever hear.

Only thing that really springs to mind that I disliked was entirely my fault, which is having my one loss in the game be a liberation against the harpies :shepface:

E: also I totally thought I put this in the Giant Bomb thread :shepicide:

If it's not on the main channel it's likely because they wanted to target a friendlier and less diverse audience. That's my guess, anyway?

"Where's my fisticuffs?!" if this was on Fridays.
"WHERE'S MY EVIL WITHIN YOU [SLURS]?!" if this was any other day.

They've been fairly vocal about using their side channels for content they know people would whine about in the main channel because people are laser focused on one or two LPs and sticking to the schedule.

youtube is a massive hole of diminishing returns. Even big hub groups like Rooster Teeth only drop 3 vids a day at most because if you swamp your site with too much people just go 'gently caress it I'm not gonna be able to watch all these'

Okay, I'm catching up on LPs I've skipped, one of them being the MVCI Story Mode and please do not refer to Mike Patton as "Faith no More guy" and also I'm pretty sure he didn't have dreads around the time Bionic Commando: Wife's Arm came out.

Watching Pat legitimately having a moment remembering his eight years - repeat: EIGHT years - working retail while playing Destiny 2 reminded me of why this is my favourite group of low-rent web peeps.

Anyone who hasn’t sat behind that register and eaten that big poo poo sandwich every single day for a living, a living designed with no way for you to get out of it, just can’t relate.

Okay but what about the days where they only run one video a day because someone hosed up, or they're running one LP in multiple slots because people weren't around to film anything else and they never prepare ahead?

Somehow, I dreamed I was checking twitter and saw that Matt was feeling pretty lovely and thus some bees were staying in him, so he would take a week off from the podcast to be with his parents. I had to check his twitter just now because it really felt like something he would tweet, and we ain't allowed two podcasts in a row with all the boys anymore.

If you watch their streams Pat does that a loooooooot. Pretty much any time he's talking to someone he's constantly glancing between them and the screen. It makes him missing stuff in game a lot more understandable.
