I was listening to the podcast waiting for it, wondering if the movie about that league of very cool people was it. When the starbucks heritage month stuff came up I could feel it but then it was avatar water tribe stuff instead, so they hit me when my guard was down lol. What a segment

I had an issue with that, clip page was coming up blank until I checked the filter settings and turned off "Featured clips only".

Oh nice, CSB is apparently at #10 on Apple's gaming podcast charts. Was presumably #9 before the former Escapist employees showed up.

I think one of the positives of the cast is Pat's willingness to just scour through tons of games while Woolie scrapes through a smaller number of games. It gives each of them a different perspective to roll with during their conversation.

I really like that, and It felt pretty great on this week's podcast when they happened to both have played the same Vampire Survivor clones, so they had an unexpected and organic full discussion.

They're deffo the most indie of that top 10, right? Dunno what Minnmax and windbreakers are, but all those IGN ones are probably done in like a studio and stuff vs our boys in their living rooms.


Did the McElroy brothers kick out Travis?

Windbreaker is the podcast for Second Wind, the channel created by the former Escapist employees after they all resigned in protest. It currently has exactly two episodes, since that whole kerfuffle only happened like, three or four weeks ago.

The Besties is formerly a Polygon.com thing, it's Griffin and Justin with former coworkers Chris and Russ. They kept the podcast going despite the McElroys leaving the website some years ago.


Honestly, with how sparse their ad blocks used to be I'm shocked The Besties is there at number one. Felt like they were struggling to keep the lights on for a while there.

Why does woolie keep saying holocure needs aiming? Some weapons depend on facing, but it's exactly the same as vampire survivor.

I don't listen to the podcast but Holocure does have aiming if you click your mouse once.

I wanna say someone in chat corrects them or politely says "it does that now", because Woolie heard that and went "oh, hmmmm..."

i played holocure a bit and iirc it did have significantly more aiming stuff than VS, so much so that they added extra controls to control your aim better

there's times I really wish I could watch the podcast live and not listen to it, because there's moments where I REALLY want to see a particular reaction that I otherwise wouldn't know happened. such as in the clip that just went up about Pizza Tower:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQufPiXWo_Y

where Pat makes the self-admitted insane claim of hating the max speed pads in sonic games, and there's a moment where you can TELL woolie's brain is desperately trying to process it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQufPiXWo_Y&t=547s

and the twitch chat for that moment is, predictably, a wall of YOU ARE loving INSANE with like a single "I agree with pat" mixed in there :allears:

Pat's kinda right, the weakest sections of 3D sonic games are the speed boost pads that launch you into an automated section. The 2D ones that use them are just wretched

Man, Pat REALLY backed the wrong horse in the console race as a kid.

Then again, this prevented the dark timeline where Pat became a Nintendo Kid.

my cousin had one too. his parents would not let him own a console, but they were totally fine with handhelds.

now, whether the game gear counts as a handheld or not is another discussion. I say no because I was a small child and that thing weighed a ton for a kid. I had to rest it on stuff to be able to play it for any length of time. also the games sucked, the sonic game especially

I also owned a game gear instead of a gameboy somehow. I really only played Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Columns, and Taz the Tazmanian Devil on it.

Columns was really the only good game of that set.

Edit: Sonic 1 was okay I guess but my batteries died before I could finish it in one sitting. So...ya know...

Finished Pat's final vod for LaD Gaiden, and man did that ending hit him hard (and me too, even being the third time I've seen it). Can't wait for LaD8 to emotionally destroy everyone.

Those sonic speed sections are not even 8 seconds long most of the time and serve as what we now call set pieces...just a little break in the action to see something cool. Wtf?

I'm currently playing through all the Yakuza games I never finished (currently on 6, plan on doing 7 and Judgment next) in hopes of being caught up before 8 drops. Is Gaiden worth the full price, or should I wait for it to go on sale? I know it's a shorter game, so I was surprised to see it going for $50 USD

Do you do all the side quests and completion lists in Yakuza games or just mainly do the story stuff? I was able to squeeze 60 hours out of the game doing all the stuff and playing a bunch of Mahjong, but if you are just interested in the story stuff I might wait for a sale. The game does have maybe the strongest endings and one of the best final bosses I've seen in a Yakuza game

I don't 100% the completion list, but I usually do significant chunks of it and finish all the side quests (which usually ends up burning me out), but I end up getting side tracked with another game by the time I get to the end game. That's why I'm going back now lol.

But that's good to know, thanks!

okay, this most recent woolie slop stream is maybe my favorite of the ones I've seen so far. just some incredible poo poo being thrown at the two of them, from the detroit become human isn't about racism clip, to the mattpat horribly out of context clip, and I skipped ahead to later they watch one of alex henderson's INSANE donkey kong country animations and woolie gets his mind justifiably blown by that dude's insane talent
