I just don't know why parts of the thread feels the need to bitch about 100% optional content, of the already optional content that is choosing to listen to a podcast. I'd get it if candlenights was in every weekly episode around the holiday season, but they quarantine it in its own self-contained show. And of that show, for at least the past two years it's been a "go to this website you've never heard of and pay them 5 bucks if you wanna watch it," and not even something you download off the podcast feed.


I know, it's the McElroy thread and this is just what it does. But christ candlenights alive please draw the line somewhere.

I dropped off of listening to Ethersea, just via being distracted by other things. It still holding up? Was kickin' butt through when I was listening.

It's my bad for bringing it up, but it's the latest special they did and people are talking about it, seems fine to me. :shrug:

That's fair, sorry it was weird I was trying to reference the number of times they've explicitly said "Don't listen to the first 100 or so, we've grown a lot since then" which is cool and good.

But the Candlenights origin is "pretending Hanukkah doesn't exist" and now a decade later it's a trademarked event where they pretend Hanukkah (and Christmas) don't exist to celebrate themselves instead.

It's not like harmful (and the charity work is great) but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth every time they say it. Maybe I just lack the holiday spirit.

That's all fair, better stated & well and good. Kudos! :hf:

I don't think anyone's like...demanding an apology or anything.

I think I speak for most Jews when I say I don't give a single poo poo about Hanukkah as anything but a chance to see family and all, it's a really minor holiday and it's actually a little lovely that it gets lumped in as 'Jewish Christmas' just because of proximity, but I think it's fair to say it's kinda funny that the dudes who stopped doing Monster Factory because laughing at a dude who's face is concave may offend the concave face community have one of their tentpole brand events rooted in 'uh what's Jewish Christmas, Candlenights?'

pretty much my take on this, i think the actual reason is probably just no one has yelled at them about it

which to be clear is good, nobody SHOULD yell at them for it, it's just kinda stupid and funny and that's fine, it's okay to just be funny because you're an idiot.

Candlenights is over, friends! We should focus on the real worst annual McElroy tradition, which is their Name The Year episode.

I really like those episodes. :ohdear:

There's usually a few fun ones outside of what they go with, and listening to them pretend like they aren't heavily invested in one or two of their own suggestions is some fun politic-ing.

Yeah this.


Anyway Ethersea is still excellent and I am enjoying it very much! It's got a great structure, solid characters, plenty of room for laughs. It's still finding its feet in terms of team dynamic but I think it's gonna get there.

I wouldn't mind losing monster factory if Justin and Griffin made videos of them messing around with games together. Their Second Life videos are imo the best mcelroy content ever produced.

I believe they said it was a combination of factors, including being busy, not a lot of games with good character creation coming out, feeling like it's sort of run it's course, and yes, saying that as they've grown the show had started to feel kind of mean to them and they started worrying about if someone actually kind of looked like one of their "monsters."

I still hope they bring it back at least for Elden Ring, they haven't skipped a Dark Souls yet and those are always cool.

But I mean I could be remembering wrong, I have memory problems and it's 5am.
