It really isn't because the two that got the most mad at one another are the two that still do regular content with each other.

Woolie and Pat got shoot angry at each other, but this was when Matt full on drop kayfabe smiling and began really sulking because this stable wasn't fun.

The final video before the breakup video is Matt losing against Ursula in Kingdom Hearts.

The final words of the video are Matt and Woolie both going 'fuuuuuck' together. :smith:

I think the easiest to register sign of Matt leaving was the podcast. he was always kind of the least vocal on it but in the last year or so of sbfp he barely participated in most conversations beyond talking about his week at the start and sometimes just bailed halfway through the episode

Has there been, like, any Matt-Woolie content? At all? I know Pat and Woolie have Castle Superbeast even if their gaming content is pretty disparate now, and Matt and Liam sometimes pull off a collab.

Not that I'm aware of. Kind of a shame, imo.

Was it seriously omikron that did it?

In addition to what everyone else said, Matt and I think maybe Woolie or Liam agreed Omikron was the best LP they ever did together. So it’s there’s clearly some fond memories there you wouldn’t expect if it actually broke them apart.

They broke up because they all wanted to do different things and personality clashes reached a breaking point.

Yeah, everyone just had different ideas on what the channel should be, and in Matt and Pat's case they were VERY different ideas. Pat was enjoying streaming a lot, Matt wanted to do more ambitious things, Woolie just likes juggling a lot of plates and doing out there stuff, plus he is way more into fighting games than the other two. It's a pity that they didn't realize that before having a friendship-ruining fight though, so it's funnier to blame it on Omikron.

Based on prior experience with channel breakups I'm still convinced there was some amount of money mismanagement going on. Which isn't to say that it was done maliciously, it's not easy to determine who gets what when compensation is based on views and not hours worked or whatever. It might explain why Woolie hasn't done anything professionally with Matt since the breakup since I'm pretty sure Matt was the channel owner/boss/etc so this would've all fallen on him. The creative differences would play into that as well, arguments about what would generate more views, and thus more money, could get very heated, at least I've seen it before.

Now that I think about, I've seen it a lot just with friends going into business together, not just YouTube channels. It's practically a cliche.

They had a good long run though, it's pretty rare for collab groups to last as long as they did without some sort of issue arising, but everyone now seems to be happy doing their own projects so good for all of them I say.

It's kind of amazing they lasted as long as they did in the first place considering Matt and Pat weren't even really friends at the beginning and Pat was just a replacement in the original Kirby video for Woolie.

watching pat's Guardians of the Galaxy sponsored stream, and like, I heard it was genuinely good, but this game looks absolutely fantastic, both in graphics and gameplay. and the dialogue has gotten genuine, solid laughs out of me at least half a dozen times during the stream. I will definitely pick this game up when it goes on sale, for sure!
https://twitch.tv/videos/1216964088

this(spoilers): https://i.imgur.com/FVKkQSO.png might just be THE BEST dialogue prompt in any game ever, and I had the exact same reaction pat is having here

I cannot believe how badly they botched the previews. like if they showed off even a bit of the basics of chapter 1, the general banter, face-to-face dialogue, and a little combat, instead of what they showed in the preview they did, it would've gone over SO much better. and this actor for peter is way better at it than chris pratt.

Based off the strength of Pat's endorsement and after seeing a quick rundown of the combat mechanics, I used my BF2042 refund money to buy GotG, and I dig it. It's got those Mass Effect conversations like he said. The levels and how you move in them feel like if Metroid Prime or Fallen Order were way more linear, or Uncharted and Mass Effect were less linear. The combat itself feels like a mish-mash of Platinum inspirations with the dodging and movement, and a version of Mass Effect where using your teammates' powers is way more important. I also hate the dialogue of Marvel movies, but I really enjoy about 90% of the banter in this game. It's really good, overall.

I don't think it's Spider-Man level of good, but I don't know. Thinking back on Spider-Man there was a lot of time where I was not taking down criminals, but in Guardians I'm either chatting up my crew or blasting aliens. Guardians has a very long intro where the game may not seem very fun. The tutorial mission moves pretty slowly, doesn't let you explore much, has a ton of banter that stops the action, and the combat encounters are really lame. Then, about 1/4 into the next mission, the game picks up in terms of pacing, fun, and combat challenge.

If you get it on PC, keep your finger on the VSync button. I ran into an issue where the game was doing anything it could to give me 144fps to the point of overheating my PC.

I find it funny I kinda clocked it as "High Republic" since I knew that was a thing that was supposed to be happening, but then totally forgot that Quantic Dream specifically was working on a High Republic game.

I should probably watch the whole thing. TGA was mostly a miss for me this year, but the idea of seeing it with a mark host that can't tell cg teasers from real games is really fun.

Remind me again why roll back net code isn’t a standard adopted by fighting games? Is it just because the companies are too stuck in their ways and don’t see the need to adopt new systems?
