Yeah, I've been side-eyeing Avellone ever since he left Obsidian and went to air grievances on a RPG forum (either RPGforum or RPGnet, I can't remember the exact name), which was a noted chud hive.

Josh Sawyer/rope kid seems to be alright though.

Little V was showing Woolie tons of tricks, glitches and all that good stuff but I didn't see a warthog jump, but then again I started watching a bit later

Hey so regardless of what will happen to this forum, I really enjoyed posting with you all about a bunch of Youtube video game funnyguys, and I'd hate to lose that.

Please don't hesitate to hit me up on Discord at Crimson#8833, or on Steam. Though I'd ask you to identify who you are in this thread, so I know you're not some awful Kiwifarms lurker.

I have to wonder who this proto-girl that every LPer's girl voice is based on.

Just talking out to the ether in this part. You've watched TV and anime and stuff, surely you've picked up on a few distinctive female voices by now? At this point I'd find it refreshing to hear someone voicing a female NPC as if they were Fran Drescher.

Personally I immediately thought of Harley Quinn, which kind of works since she was calling Mario Mister at the time.

That was my first vibe, but Woolie kept mentioning Marisa Tomei in the first episode, so he might also be channeling her in My Cousin Vinny

It's just infuriating because one of the reasons I got into best friends way back when was because they were LPers that DIDN'T do this horseshit. And he just wrapped up an RPG where he didn't! Woolie is funny enough, and TTYD good enough, to not need that sort of lovely YouTuber embellishment.

They’ve mentioned before that if they play a game with no voice acting, people don’t watch unless they read everything. Reason being, I think, is that a lot people watch lps as sorta a second screen thing, and they can’t follow what’s going on if the dialog isn’t spoken. Not that this excuses bad voices or anything, this is just why they do it

I would fall out of my chair like Vince if instead of getting a custom intro screen for an LP they just paid SungWon Cho and Edwyn Tiong to voice act it for them.

I assumed that they're also fans and would be happy to hop in for a few videos and flex on them with professional voice acting.

I backed down from voice acting the entire thing to doing it a few videos.

I'm watching woolie's halo run on twitch(excellent, even if V kinda handholds him a bit too much) and saw this pass by in chat and this is the poo poo I love about halo lore



I never played 4 or 5 but I remember reading how the elites loved the determination of humans in the face of certain death and came to respect them, but the heirarchy above them decreed humans heretical and to be put to death, so they had to continue fighting them rather than welcome them into the covenant

they could just read the dialogie in their regular voices instead of trying to voice act

No, the backdown wasn't a few videos for free, it was come dub a few videos for profit. The being fans thing was more of a 'Oh sure, I'll do that, I like those guys' Not 'Oh sure, I'll do that, I like those guys. AND I'LL DO IT FOR NOTHING'

I wasn’t around for the thread at the time but remember when the guys “forgot” to turn off the camera for one of their user mail episodes and went on for a while about how all this stuff was a hassle? What was the reception to that?

Are you talking about the old mailbag? That wasn't an off-camera thing, they said outright they had to shut down the mailbag because people were sending in way too much stuff that Woolie had to haul. A lot of it being weapons and sex toys.

You're probably talking about the time they forgot to cut like some post-bit audio from a mailbag episode, where they were frustrated about receiving big dumb blade #1483, they thanked the guy for sending it but then off-screen in a bit left in by accident apparently were like "So who even wants to take this big dumb sword? I dunno I don't want it, it's not even like a good feeling sword. Do you want this thing? No? I don't want it." and stuff like that, it was some 300 falchion shortsword thing they didn't recognize either so it was nothing special at all as far as any of them were concerned, so people made a big deal out of it, they apologized to the person and whatnot, but also then like clarified further too that like every time people sent them a big stupid sword or giant knife, they had to go take that poo poo to an office and all this other stuff because they live in canada and it was getting to be a really big pain in the rear end.
