Just Chamber posted:Yea for sure, like honestly they should just scrap The Besties as Chris and Russ are just boring imo and it's on its last legs Just Chamber posted:For sure, it's why the Besties needs to end (the other reason being the two Brothers should be using that time to make more video game content on youtube), he just gets to that 59 minute mark and it's a hard out, it's so obvious he doesnt want to be there. I think the second half of the show can get kind of weak when they come up with some game-adjacent bit instead of talking more about playing games, but I don't think it's any worse than the show has been throughout its history. I think all video game podcasts are having a slow time because it's a slow part of the year in what's going to be a slow year overall.

I like the Besties but now that I think about it I would rather just have Justin and Griffin do fun game videos a la the old Polygon vids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXxfabOa_Gg

I'm surprised they've been so slow to get into Twitch streaming, tbh. Maybe they want to preserve gaming as a non-performative hobby.

Tears In A Vial posted:Someone in this thread recommended a Podcast called Let's Make A Music. What order am I supposed to listen to them in? Are those minus numbers counting down to zero, and then back up again? Or are they listed in a weird order? The show has basically had two "seasons" with a year or two long hiatus between and a host change, and they reset the episode numbering when Karen Han came on board. The initial run is Brian, Laura (Brian's Sister) and (Jonas?) their music production friend hosting, and it was real good, but it stopped a ways into Brian's time at polygon due to time commitment problems. The new run where they reset back to episode 1 started back up right before Brian left polygon and is Brian, Laura and Karen Han (also ex-polygon) hosting while Jonas is in the background still working on the music production but no longer hosting, and it is excellent. More Karen Han in everything thankyou.

I was skeptical of Karen when she first showed up in the Polygon videos because her energy didn't initially match what the others had. But then she recognized Pat's clue of "the lady who jerked off a dolphin" in the fake artist game on Overboard, and I knew everything would be okay

Oh gently caress, I went back and watched the dolphin part, and I had it backwards. Karen drew it and Pat recognized it. This goes to show that Karen actually rules and I don't give her enough credit.

Crazyeyes posted:I'm still following TAZ. Justin is the light shining in the darkness. The railroad is still very much in effect, however. Honestly unsure how much farther this arc is intended to go as pacing and plot is so oddly both out the window and in your face, but Travis has declared this is their last level-up so probably not much longer in the grand scheme. I'm surprised it's ending already but I can't blame Travis. I can imagine the anguish of making a big idea for a campaign and it falters early in. But it's better to fold than to hold. Hope he sticks the landing with the finale.

Sivart13 posted:Jeez dude The Besties is fine. I'm not sure what "last legs" means for a now-weekly show that previously had only one episode a year several calendar years. Personally I think the two other co hosts are dull, always have been, and it's only been Justin and Griffin's energy and jokes keeping it vaguely entertaining, now that Justin seems imo checked out more and more each episode it's just barely enjoyable. I say last legs because they stopped doing weekly episodes for a reason pre Spotify, and while I think they were fine doing it weekly or w/e when Spotify was paying them (and Justin made it clear that it was only because they were getting money that it was so frequent) now they've lost that and they're still releasing eps every 7 days it's lost it's energy, especially from Justin, which is just Justin's vibe recently everywhere honestly. But hey if you're still enjoying it that's great, it's just the impression I get. I think it says a lot when their best episode lately was when they had Elyse Willems on who injected some fresh energy into it. Just Chamber fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Mar 26, 2021 |

At least for MBMBAM, were in the longest streak without live shows to break up the flow that they've had in literally years. Creative burnout is a thing.

Since the thread is the love zone i will say despite Travis being....so incredibly extra, when he hits it out of the park it's usually great. Ruin my box with crawdads, donut joke, the alf bit. This is not a new point and has been brought up in this thread but I'll concede it.

They all kill jokes in their own way. Travis just does it by mistake, thinking he's saving it, so I guess it stands out more.

I think it's perfectly natural for all the pent up Travis dislike to be finally let loose, after the events of the last week or two. I've always hated his involvement in Mcelroy stuff, but I almost always kept it to myself since it's just petty annoyance. Now that he's been a bit of an rear end in a very public way the floodgates are open. Some folks are being a little weird about it, but it'll be out of the community's system after a week or two and then things will probably be quiet again until his next stupid stunt.

Be good if the Mcelroys released something worth mentioning. Travis hasn't gotten more annoying, were just running out of talking points.

I don't hate Travis, but I do enjoy the Justin + Griffin or Griffin solo stuff about 1000% more than TAZ or MBMBAM. Also that Among Us clip is weapons-grade secondhand embarrassment. They should show it in schools to warn about the dangers of not shutting up.
