Why does the thread need to be closed? Everyone's being chill here and if you don't want to read about sbfp then just unsub from the thread until a new one goes up? Or at least wait until new content goes up on the new content? Obv people still want to discuss it and either that happens now or the first few pages of the new thread get poo poo up. It's barely been 24 hours :/

Maybe if the OP themselves no longer necessarily cares?

Yeah I went and just looked it up.

Man this is just....ugh. What sucks is I feel like there's probably not even any big shocking dramatic reveal waiting here, I don't get the impression that somebody dropped a slur or threatened somebody's wife or something big or extravagant like that to lead to this breakup. This feels like they just weren't vibing with each other anymore for a bunch of smaller reasons and now The Internet is going out there trying to discover or invent some big dramatic narrative instead of just accepting that.

Sad way for this thing to go down, all around.

Yeah; it probably comes down to Matt and Liam are the type to shut down when they're upset by something and Woolie and Pat are the type to just get it out there, and it's my experience that it's hard for those personalities to resolve conflicts. So Matt gets more upset that Pat doesn't realize he's being an rear end to him, while Pat is oblivious to that since he assumes Matt would say something if he's mad. That plus general creative differences and likely Matt doing more of the "work" part of the job, and that'll create extra friction that they're not equipped to resolve. I doubt there's any incident or drama, just Matt pulling the trigger on something he's probably been seriously thinking about for months.

I mean, same thing applies, if the OP doesn't care they don't need to close their own thread.

It's probably a good idea to make a new thread for Castle Superbeast and tangential solo content tho. We're better off waiting for the former to actually be a thing because otherwise thread's gonna be pretty dated real soon.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I was into them from day 1 with that Kirby's Epic Yarn video. Back then, I got my video game funnies out of a site called Halolz. Lolz was the way to say funny at the time, and Halo meant videogames. See, in those days we had to follow blogs, none of your fancy schmancy social medias you kids have nowadays. Oh and those comment section puns, if you didn't have fifteen upvotes in your comment due to a pun, you might as well not have seen that post. I think nowadays they call that reddit. Anyway, we would all gather up in the Halolz and watch the Kirby's Epic Yarn video in 360p, but if you new the secret code, you could watch in in high quality, the pristine and legendary 480p that only the rich knew of. Ooh baby, you better believe watching Two Best Friends Play in 480p was the bees knees. It wasn't until 720p was invented that you could actually see those bees' knees, but back then, 480p let you feel it.

In conclusion, Best Friends Play is a channel of contrasts.

I think that 4chan post is a pretty good approximation of what happened. Liam and Matt have very similar personalities, and I wouldn't call Pat a catalyst, but when you have two timid and earnest nerds and someone that's very quick to pick fights, poo poo's eventually gonna deteriorate. This whole Liam situation is him basically ghosting someone, and I feel like that's the healthiest option he had at the moment. I'unno if Leanna's subtweet was a good thing but it was definitely a sign that poo poo was going sour.

As a timid and earnest nerd who used to be friends with someone very quick to pick fights, yeah from the outside looking in the whole thing definitely tracks, and it isn't even necessarily pat's fault. I can't imagine how much more stressful that situation would've been for me if that friend had been my boss and we were in the public eye literally branded as Best Friends

edit: ANYWAY on a brighter note I'll add to the reminiscing with this part of the yakuza recap watchthrough I think about a lot

Anything you do publicly brings in your fanbase/followers and since its not private you are basically allowing them to chime in as well. Maybe it wasn't an unintentional douche move, but he should know better.

What got me into the Blundering Best Buddies was their Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance LP. Particularly the part where they actually took the time to learn the moves and combos in the game instead of just mashing buttons and blaming the game for being too hard, which is what you'd expect of Let's Players, especially back then.

Yo, without watching the video above for spoilers can someone like...sell me on the Omikron LP? I remember giving the first ep a go and wasn't really feeling it and then hearing that get they stuck for a long period of time so I never got back to it. Heard a few times already it's some people's favorite (including Matt's). What makes it so magical? FWIW I loved their playthroughs of Indigo Prophecy, Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls and Detroit. Omikron just seemed a little...too far out there for me at first.

At first it starts out a very unassuming LP and around the 20s the descent into madness begins to the point where the video descriptions, thumbnails, and even the title begin to change as well as the boys slowing lose their minds and are drained of their souls

It is a magical LP and absolutely a favorite of mine

It's the most suffer through of suffer through games ever. If you like their suffer throughs of the other games it's all of that to 11. You can't even blame anyone for getting lost or frustrated with the game because it's just SO loving BAD. Maximum Daveed Khaagey. There's no point in trying to make sense of it you just have to embrace it's eldritch madness and ride though them losing their loving minds.

You know how Cage really really likes putting in very dumb twists along with throwing in random organizations and secret cabals and Illuminati kind of stuff? There's a lot of that happening in this game, and it's an adventure-style game too, so this was before "Game Overs are a Failure of the Game Designer". It gets so confusing and out there that its actually a pretty surreal experience to watch them go through all that and try to process what the gently caress is happening, and there's no Cinematic-style gameplay to make any of the gameplay elements easier.

Omikron starts of normal, but slowly, their energy is drained from them and it breaks them. Dumb game design, a game breaking bug, the loving soul rings, the overall story just rips them apart as they descend into madness.

I’m just now remembering Pat and Woolie going on a like 30 minute quest to find a single magic ring so that they can save the game and go home. All because the in game hint system costs 5 magic rings for some reason and they didn’t realize that until late that episode.
