Honkai 3rd impact was just ripping off bayonetta and made hundreds of millions of dollars

I thought 3rd Impact was before DMCV, though? I was thinking of new titles after DMCV

I got covid this month and I rewatched the Nier let's play while I was down and it still holds up. One of my fav playthrus. Pat/Liam plays seem to be some of my fav since my rear end keeps going back to their terribl(y good) SMRPG run too :frogbon:

Barkley might be my favorite playthrough on the channel.

Pat and Liam had pretty amazing chemistry, especially considering the issues between them.

Granblue Relink, which Platinum was working on originally, is supposed to be the next big thing in the genre. I'm really torn because I kinda disregarded Platinum for a while now; when Pat said something to the effect of "we get good action games now, we evolved past th eneed for Platinum" i was kinda already in that mindset.

Then I played FF16 and the parts that gave me the most joy were boss fights Platinum clearly did and ripped off their own poo poo as hard as possible for. Tears in my eyes saying "The Wonderful 102..." in a couple there, and dammit, I need to see what Platinum could do making a real game on a console now. And maybe I'll never get to see it.

Didn't they get a bunch of people that worked on DMC5 to work on FF16? I don't even know if that was Platinum.

Anyway, I still regularly watch compilations of the Omikron playthrough. That was a journey!

I don't think the animosity between Pat and Liam was there when they did those playthroughs. I kind of got the impression they were trying to work it out during that era, but it just didn't happen.

When they were doing the Twilight Princess playthough and met Barnes in Kakariko Village, Liam and Matt (and I think Woolie) start making a bunch of jokes comparing him to Pat, and I remember them being uh...weirdly angry and venomous. So it seems like Pat and Liam might have really had it out when they were recording that.

The main combat director was from DMC5, but I believe that Platinum worked on some of the Eikon battles.

I was skeptical about the price point at first, but bit the bullet and bought bayonetta origins. It slaps and it's worth the $60 price tag. Its one of my favorite games this year. It's sad it got swept under the rug.
so yeah platinum can still put out bangers

I still like rewatching the old Shitstorm videos every day in October, and last year I made a playlist for it based on picking my two favorite episodes for each day of the month out of the 7 possible shitstorms, and then only slightly re-arranging some episodes so that you don't see nightmare creatures 2 before 1 for instance.

This looks excellent, thanks for sharing! I don't know if these are on the list, but my most vivid Shitstorm memories are a couple of games that I think were made by the same person. The player is stuck in a maze-like house with a serial killer chasing them and you have PS1-era graphics with a VHS sort of overlay. Very atmospheric.

ATLA is a legit great show with one of the best redemption arcs

May 5, 2004

ATLA is one of the finest shows ever made, an extremely tight 3 season show that was always meant to be that way and does not overextend its stay, filled to the brim with great character arcs/growth, great writing, and an extremely richly thought-out world full of detail and not watching it is a tremendous disservice to yourself. It is simply a masterpiece.

My source: me, who avoided it for a years and years thinking it was some kids poo poo until my cousin forced me to watch it one week, and I walked away feeling very foolish for my old beliefs :frogbon:

My only real complaint about ATLA is the whole arc about "Aang can't firebend because he gives into the inherent Sith Lord urges of fire but it's OK because he doesn't need to" is kind of a nothingburger to me and drags down the end of the show a fair bit, but that said I'd still call it a like 9.5/10.

The bit isn't that it's that the first time he tries it he hurt his friend so he's hesitant not because it's sith it's just he thinks he can't control it.

  • Pat has become a fulltime Twitch Streamer, got married, moved to Vancouver, and recently had a kid.
  • Matt has shifted to becoming a video essayist with his Wha Happun? series, also does streams and short-ish LPs sometimes.
  • Woolie also mostly streams with his friend Reggie, but he does edit them down into LP format. Out of everyone his content resembles the old channel the most. He still runs the Super Best Friendscast, now Castle Super Beast, with Pat. Also married.
  • Liam has quit being an internet video games person entirely and went into Gamedev, and I think he moved to Japan not too long ago?
