I unsubbed when he quit but does Griffin do MF anymore, now that he's gone from Polygon?

Official word is they will still be doing the monster factory sporadically, presumably whenever a new game with a sufficiently breakable character editor comes out. They've really been scraping the bottom of the barrel for a while now, definitely.

That's good. Some of the WWF games are great MF episodes, but the monster Hunter series was trash.

I still listen to TAZ, Wonderful, and sawbones to get my McElroy fix so dropping MF for awhile isn't a huge letdown.

I've always thought they could easily revisit some of the games they've already done. Some of the character editors they've used have an insane amount of variety and they've only used them once for one character.

If I had to pick one moment, it would be the Spore playthrough where It crashed and the game put SHRECK THE MOVIE as a competing tribe that Griff had to outfight.

They could do an entire series on Second Life alone

Also, The Adventure Zone starter petering out around Dust, I think.

Dust and the new one I can't remember the title to suffer from the same problem, I find. They really, really want to get in on that sweeping narrative thing that had all the sweet retweets going during the end of the first storyline. But they're not doing any of the same slow goofy fun buildup. They're just dropping in some characters and launching into the podcast equivalent of long video game cutscenes.

TAZ was at its best in the first arc when Griffin would try to be serious and the other guys would loving ruin it by being McElroys.

TAZ finished so great too, though. I haven't been moved by anything as much as that, period.

Kinda meh around the crystal kingdom, though the music in that section was dope. And it brought Upsy your Lifting Friend into the world so that's a bonus.


E: I wish they would have done the superhero one or dust instead of the current one but whatever. Duck is a cool character in that "Jim Hopper but clumsier" kind of way.

God, that one’s probably my favorite too. Although the best part of any monster factory was definitely this one.

This was a big problem I had with the mini-arc, but now that they’ve gotten into the first proper arc it’s a lot better. More lighthearted and funny, and the players get more input.

Nope. I made my gang tag my avatar and put both in the title space. On Awful.apk the tag shows up top. If/when I get caught I'll just drop another :10bux: on something because lowtax needs kidney money or whatever.

The incompetence is astounding. I bet that Gearbox won't put out an official patch either, because that would mean owning up to their mistake. Maybe Randy Pitchford will start twittering up some indefensible nonsense again.
