I was super apprehensive watching that video. Soon as I saw Woolie's face I thought he was going to say Matt, Pat, or Woolie is dead. Break up sucks, but at least it's not that. I'd only gotten back into them. I took a long break after Liam left and seeing a reaction video of them when DMCV was announced brought me back in. Their hype and love of the genre plus thier LPs of DMC 1 and 3 got me to finally go through DMC4, a type of game I'm terrible at, and I loved it. And now the channel isn't even going to survive to see the fifth's release. What a bummer.

I'm not sure Woolie would have a video prepared in case he died, but I absolutely believe if such a video existed he would have a contingency plan to have it uploaded.

Woolie's heart rate is tied to a literal dead man's switch, 999-style, that will upload a final video should he die that's just him giving double middle fingers to the camera while raving madly about how he will NEVER let's play another naruto game

Ches Neckbeard posted:The moment the solo stuff started it felt like there was an invisible countdown on the channel.  Lor posted:Edit: If anyone does have any cool LP channels to recommend - of any type, really, I'm more interested in the personality of the players rather than the types of games now - I'd love to hear them. GBWest has Jeff Gerstmann, the methuselah of gaming critics, Ben Pack, Brad Shoemaker, Jan Ochoa, and Jason Oestreicher. I really enjoy the rapport between Jeff and Ben, and their Ranking of Fighters is an okay stand-in for Fisticuffs. They seem to have fallen into a proper rhythm with one good game and one hilariously terrible game with each episode, basically combining fisticuffs and scrublords. There's plenty of full playthroughs they've done, easily the most famous is Vinny and Jeff's playthrough of Persona 4, called the Endurance Run, which got a lot of people interested in Persona in the first place. They all generally have a great rapport with each other, and they're just about to put out their Game of the Year content, including a solid week of podcast deliberations, which are the best/worst depending on who you ask(generally if you're looking for trainwrecks they're great). If you do dive into their stuff, a lot of their older content, often considered their best, involve a big guy named Ryan Davis. He was co-founder of the site and died on his honeymoon in 2013, which still loving stings and probably will never stop hurting because he was a loving legend. Definitely find whatever content of his you can, him and jeff played off each other so god drat well. The giant bomb thread has a ton of links to their better stuff, though the OP hasn't been updated in a while since I went full time and don't have time to curate that poo poo anymore Andrast posted:Probably pretty much the same edit: giant bomb's playthrough of Bioforge, a game I had never heard of until they played it, is maybe my favorite LP of all time, it's so loving absurd, that game. This is a highlight reel but I highly recommend just grabbing a month of premium for GB and watching the Backflips'n'Bioforge series at the very least https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tpIbrJbNvM&hd=1 Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Dec 17, 2018 |

Sanguinia posted:This is a deep blow. Like almost as deep as finding out jontron was a Nazi. Best friends is why I have more than half my youtube follows and Ive spent more hours watching and rewatching their content than pretty much any other entertainment since college. Times have been very dark the last 8 years or so, and one more of the things that helped me get through it is gone. This is the worst. I've been watching them since the MK9 Machinama video and I have to agree. They've cheered me up through a lot of hard times in my life and it's really setting in that there aren't going to be new videos or LPs and Matt won't be podcasting anymore. It's really too bad that it ended badly.

Woke up feeling awful and now this too, gently caress sake, right on the edge of so many very Best Friends games coming up. I'd already started disliking Pat more lately for the obvious poo poo with Paige, but this really shits everything up even worse than expected, spent a lot of time watching these dudes and some of it helped so much over time. At least Matt and Woolie are still doing their own things.

I think my favorite moments will always just be from the mailbag videos. Specifically where Woolie gets the Gameboy Color and Pat starts making fun of him for crying, and when they all just agreed to give Liam one of the TTGL blu ray sets because he hadn't gotten anything big for just him.

Like Liam's magical girl transformation /w the Peach apron and knife, Matt having to vacuum up a glitter bomb, Pat in his lizard glasses telling kids to stay in school, and them going from "I hope they don't send us dragon dildos" to "WHERE THE gently caress ARE THOSE DRAGON DILDOS?!"

Seconding the recommendation for GiantBomb, and another suggestion for a practically legendary LP series from them is Metal Gear Scanlon. Dan Ryckert, a huge fan of everything Metal Gear, accompanies Drew Scanlon, a total Metal Gear virgin, through the entire series, 1-5. It's absolutely incredible seeing someone's reaction to all the bizarre poo poo that happens in MGS, plus the Let's Play Gods themselves blessed them with some absolute phenomenal dumb luck. The way they kill The End in MGS3 is so loving hilariously implausible, it can't be done justice unless you see it.

Woolie seems like of the most chill and sweet people ever, so it hurts twice as much to see him so crushed in the goodbye video.

You know when i saw this notification of Super Best Friends Play (Final). I thought it was an out of season april fool's joke. But now that it's real. I feel g o o d... You could tell that the channel was a drain on all of them. Plus i did my mourning when Liam left. All that came after was borrowed time. I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop. They have literally given me countless hours of entertainment at no extra expense and i respect all of them to the point of zealotry. I'm not gonna give a run-down of all the times they made me feel better just that i'm glad they maintained the illusion for as long as they did. But the writing was on the wall. Change is a part of life and i hope that the Best Friends go onto great things even if they're not together.

for a big dumb plug I have consistently found Supergreatfriend (weird coincidence I know) to be the best long form LPer on youtube I used to follow Game Grumps but the fact they rarely finish a game sort of turned me off on em. I originally got into SBF because they always finished what they started.

This is something I never really appreciated until I started looking for other LPers to watch - I love the fact that SBF (nearly) always played a game to completion and finished their LPs. A lot of LP channels, Game Grumps in particular as you said, don't seem to finish very much.

Also this guy is certainly not up everyones alley but in terms of other channels to follow I'd like to throw a hat in for a guy named Galm over on youtube. Dude's a young 20 something that loves playing shooters/platformers/indies and he always plays on the hardest settings. He's got a natural flow to commentary and some pretty good reactions to silly poo poo video game plots throw at him but he's mostly what I'd classify as "chill" (unless he's in a multiplayer game with his friends, in which case he becomes pretty rowdy) He does a ton of high quality editing of his own videos to cut out dead air (even in multiplayer games if there's long stretches where nothing is happening) and uploads about 3 videos every day usually of different games he's playing at the same time so there's a healthy variety of content to chew through. Only downsides I see is that he's kind of a workaholic and I'm worried he's going to burn himself out despite the fact he's been at this for a good handful of years now and he can (very rarely) get irate if comments backseat him across several videos over really minor poo poo. It's SUPER rare but it's popped up 2-3 times. ThisIsACoolGuy fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Dec 17, 2018 |

Funhaus, a branch of the Rooster Teeth stuff, has a very similar 'we're just gonna gently caress around and have fun with this video game and we'll see what happens' thing. They don't really do many proper LP's, more one shots and all, but they have themed stuff like GTA Online (now Red Dead Online) every week and they have played Hit Man games in a very special way... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM3sNH7c5B4 They also do poo poo like boardgames and have a podcast and all. Solid group with good chemistry and mostly made up of the same people from their Machinima days when they started with a few additions like one of the guys' wife who's a hilarious dork.
