Sometimes Woolie's theory discussions are insightful and neat, and other times it's insanely off base and if he'd play for five more minutes in some cases all the questions would be answered and that can be torturous if it goes on for too long. It probably, maybe balances out. I think if he did shorter games he'd retain better viewer numbers but success doesn't matter to Woolie so it's a moot point. I don't care about ME so I'm not watching it, save for some clips, but I do hope he gets a pure experience, whatever that ends up being. It will either be good and thus cool that he managed it, or a trash fire and thus hilarious.

Woolie's been keeping dozens of backup saves so he'll undo any dead crewmates, right? It'll be worth it to see his reaction to the consequences of his choices. Hopefully the people in chat don't all call him a coward for running back to a previous save.

It's somewhat easy to unintentionally gently caress up Zaeed's loyalty mission and I fully expect Woolie to do so.

Regarding the sushi discussion on the pod this week, isn't the freshness thing kind of moot since they have to flash freeze fish regardless to kill off the ungodly amount of parasites they have? Anyway, here's the state of Ohio sushi as of tonight.

Anyway, here's the state of Ohio sushi as of tonight. Unless it's sold literally on the dock yes most fish is flash frozen, but how much it travels can still affect quality. That said, Woolie's issue on the podcast seems like his fish wasn't properly defrosted before being turned into sushi.

Watching Woolie wander through the citadel and getting mad at the personalized ads is fun. The citadel really is just the Mall of America in space, isn't it? It's still weird how badly the game wants you to punch that lady though. Clip-On Fedora fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Aug 27, 2022 |

The game starts early and often encouraging you to hit the renegade prompts to see what crazy poo poo the time pulls. Just wait until he hits the Samara and Thane dossier missions. The audience will be screaming at Woolie for not hitting the prompt because he's too busy reading text.

It's hard to watch the Death Stranding video because he insists on following the waypoint line as straight as much as possible instead of using it as a guide. Seen him try to climb over cliffs when there is an easier path literally right next to it.

In the RE2 lp Pat instructed him to fire the gun from a distance since he was letting the zombies get up close before firing. He's probably convinced himself the same thing applies here too since they're both survival horror games.

Is the force gun actually good then? I always thought it was trash that was just above the flamethrower. Woolie shelving the line gun because he kept wanting to use the awful secondary fire and didn't understand that the line gets wider and can knee cap a whole room was more egregious to me. It's a first playthrough though, everyone sorta hosed that up unless they googled it.

Pat has no idea what Bionicles are. He was doing his react to random videos people send him stream and a Bionicle was in one and he thought it was a 40k space marine or something.

I dropped it sometime around Metru Nui, the flashback storyline, not sure where it eventually ended up, but the line lasted for a good while before ending in 2010 or so. the general bionicle pieces were incorporated into countless sets over the years as well. and the commercials were pretty cool...mostly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7gbkoQsK-0&hd=1&t=4s Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 08:02 on Aug 28, 2022 |

Confession: I love Lego but I could never get into Bionicle. I always thought they were kind of ugly and never really saw the appeal. Like, I look at these... ...and they just don't look good to me. They look like some kind of Lego knockoff if anything. What am I missing here? I just don't get it.

you need to remember that those are just the stock builds, and they're made of like 60 pieces. people have been modifying and "upgrading" the designs for years, or of course building their own things. hell, trying to find a shot of those six you quoted as an example, I kept almost posting people's rebuilt reimaginings instead before I noticed, like these:  here is an imgur gallery I made years ago showcasing a specific person's builds that really exemplify why "it doesn't look like lego!!!" is dumb. his designs are phenomenal, and combine standard lego bricks, bionicle, technic, and other insanely obscure lego pieces into incredible works of art. The key to lego, of all types, is to remember you are only limited by your imagination. https://imgur.com/gallery/OUD4A some examples, look closely and you can see how they're a mixture of all different types of lego pieces, and yes, these are all official lego parts, no non-lego pieces(I break down some examples of parts usage in the above gallery):             one of the biggest things bionicle did(well, throwbots, but that was the precursor to bionicle) was introduce mass amounts of balljoint and socket pieces to the Lego parts pool, and later introduced rubberized balljoints to allow for something like a quarter pound or more's worth of weight support per joint. It was the equivalent of the creation of the internal combustion engine when it comes to making poseable lego figures because before you had to do some ridiculous workarounds to make things that could pose at all, let alone decently.

Imagine if it wasn't bionicle but their other thing in the works that got popular lmao. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnzbArJuBV4 Honestly I wonder if pat knows about this one but not bionicle just for extra hilarity, since it's partly a french canadian thing Captain Invictus posted:you need to remember that those are just the stock builds, and they're made of like 60 pieces. people have been modifying and "upgrading" the designs for years, or of course building their own things. hell, trying to find a shot of those six you quoted as an example, I kept almost posting people's rebuilt reimaginings instead before I noticed, like these: I can't imagine the willpower required to not sneak at least one of those big tiddy bionicles in that album.

The baseline version is mostly just a knockdown tool, but put a bit of damage into it and it can fully delimb most normal enemies, provided you let them get close. Its great strength is when like three slashers all jump on you at once, it just cleans them up. Also the DS2 version has an alt-fire that's basically the gauss cannon from Doom 2016.
