I've kinda been waiting for this to happen ever since Matt took that sudden break two (?) years back. Felt like that never got truly resolved.

God, this really sucks. I've been watching these guys since the Portal 2 video! There are so many things I never would have heard of without them. I guess it's kind of exhausting to put so much of yourself in the public eye.

I thought they were fine in RE5 but I haven't watched Call of Cthulu enough to remember anything that happens in any episode.

RIP Super Best Friends Play.

I'm just extremely thankful Woolie and Pat are carrying on the podcast legacy, as that is by far my favorite content from them in recent times considering my night shift job lets me relisten to the old podcasts to help time go by. Gonna feel kinda sad now when I do it over the next few days, but thems the breaks. Who knows, maybe since they're carrying that on they'll come together to do something with DMC5 still. Woolie and Pat VS DMC5? Wouldn't be the worst naming convention.

I wonder if any of them are gonna do a post mortem or something. I don't want them making fights public or anything but I am still curious as to what went down.

Yeah, even since Liam left he seemed less enthusiastic.

It's weird to hear there was a business element to their falling out... like, maybe I'm naive about how much work and how many decisions they had to make behind the scenes to continue running a youtube channel, but they'd watered down their output to such a degree and never bothered to do a lot of the boring best practices crap most channels do that I wonder what there'd even be to argue about.

I mean, they did just have that huge realisation during Scrublords that they were deliberately stunting their own growth by doing stupid poo poo. It was hilarious at the time, but in hindsight, maybe one of the things they were having trouble with behind the scenes was one person wanting to go even harder on the stupid poo poo and someone else wanting to put the effort in and try to actually grow. And if that's the case, and if we're taking it as a Matt/Pat split, it's probably pretty obvious who was who. Like look at the difference in the amount of effort they put into their solo videos.

I'm glad they were honest and transparent about it and we didn't get a vague non-answer game grumps debacle.

They really were always the realest LP channel on the platform and I'm gonna miss them, but I'm really hype for Castle Superbeast.

Real sad news. I'll still follow the "new" podcast and see what Pat and Woolie does with it, but I will miss hearing Matt getting hype about dumb stuff and his occasional stories about awkward things happening to him on vacations and dates with his wife.

Will the podcast happen tomorrow per usual you think, or might it be cancelled until they get their new poo poo together? And do I understand this correctly but absolutely no new videos will come out henceforth, even if they have more of Kingdom Hearts or whatever recorded?

Edit: Wonder how Billie will land? I have no idea how his situation looks like in general and if he got anything significant out of all this as an editor for them.

I get the feeling that they don't have anything recorded, hence the 4 kingdom hearts videos in a row

While I haven't followed the behind the scenes stuff... well, at all, really, I did kinda think that something was up when I noticed Matt really started making Flophouse into this big thing. At first it just seemed like the Best Friends equivalent of Bruce Dickinson going off to record Tattooed Millionaire in the early 90s, basically just goofing off and trying something different without the rest of the group, but it's seemed like Flophouse has been his main priority for some time now and he hasn't been into the SBF content as much. I may be talking entirely out of my rear end here, but that's just how things came across to me.

I had a feeling this was happening as the side channels fleshed out. Still, this is gonna suck, these guys have been a huge part of my life at work with the podcast being the one I looked forward to the most each week, but I did have this sense that Matt has been feeling it less and less over time. Gonna miss the LPs, too. Some real good stuff, and it's gonna suck to not see DMCV by them or KH3 or more scrublords/fisticuffs, probably my favorite friday youtube videos. On the same token, I can't imagine constantly doing something they no longer enjoy even if it's profitable, so I applaud them for, well, ending it relatively amicably instead of having an incredibly messy, public meltdown out of nowhere. I wish them all the best and will definitely still be following all three of them(as I still do Liam), but I will definitely miss the team up content. Nine years, though. One of the longest-lasting of all the supergroups, I can't really think of many others outside of Rooster Teeth and Giant Bomb who have stayed together that long or longer, so they had an incredibly good run all things considered. Godspeed, my dudes. I haven't been able to watch many LPs at all due to working 12 hour days lately, but I've been slowly catching up on the DmC LP, it sucks they won't get to do DMCV.

I am still happy Woolie and Pat are together rolling with the Castle Superbeastcast, though. Whether it'll just be the same podcast under a different name or they'll go with a different method of podcasting, they've still got a great rapport together and I wager it'll result in more guests coming on if nothing else, whether that'll be good or bad, depends on the guest.

I think that might only really apply to Matt. Woolie and Pat have been continuing to be pretty public all things considered, Pat especially.

poo poo, that's might be something, but I also just kinda hope it's a way for them to just say their own personal thoughts and put out their own personal channels rather than them just unable to be in the same room together.

There's always been a ton of hangers-on in their comments that expect them to have secret lovely views, or are surprised when they're not throwing themselves into gamergate culture war bullshit, even before Paige showed up.

Cry Havoc and let slip the Hogs of War
Started watching them in 2013 when they completed their Beyond Two Souls playthrough. They filled my Tipping Forties-sized hole nicely. Just a few dudes sitting around playing video games.

I consider Omikron to be their best LP. It basically broke the group, but it was a wild adventure. The rest of the Sadness series was amazing, too. Their incredulity at the stupid poo poo David Cage put into his games was always hilarious.

It’s sad to see them break up, but all good things come to an end. Their output hasn’t been as good lately as it was towards the beginning. I’m rewatching the Yakuza 4 playthrough again and it’s so much fun because of the enthusiasm from Pat and Matt reacting to everything.

I need to check out Woolys new podcast. It seems interesting.

I really don't want to continue speculating but it definitely feels like the blow up over Paige being adjacent to the Ralph Retort/Dick Masterson show stuff was absolutely the final nail in the coffin. Things might've been degrading for a while from there but I'd be surprised if that wasn't the final impetus for the breakdown. Which sucks but... is understandable.

Honestly DMC V isn't the thing that sucks the most, it's the fact that there's no chance of RE2Make.
