"phphphphphphpht"? this is what you're going with?

sometimes I scroll over to Matts youtube channel and the videoes just aren't great, are they? Generally gets 100k+ views though.
What Happened? started out pretty good, but then started to fizzle once he started running out of material AND tried putting videos out more frequently.

There was also that period where he was just making new segments like The Bug Report and Edgelords left and right trying to see what would stick.

That seems to be Matt's curse, really. He aims high and big, but always seems to not have enough juice to take it to the finish line. I dunno, that's my read on it.

I've never found Matt very good as a solo act. He's often pretty good if not great when he has someone to play off of, but his solo stuff is just mindnumbing.

Yeah, his solo stuff is hit or miss for me as well. I do like the stuff he does with his wife like the fashion critiques, but those could be edited a bit better

Which is such a shame because Matt plays off others so well. I think like 90% the phrases permanently lodged in my brain from the sbf days were him riffing off pf pat or woolie.

Woolie being mad at the pie story is why it's persisted. If he had laughed it off initially they would've dropped it, hell we may never have heard about it. Continuing to be mad about it just fuels the flames all the more.

IMO people who still make Woolie pie stealing jokes need to grow up, get off reddit, and develop a real sense of humor. Even beyond the fact that Woolie himself is sick of it, the joke is over a decade old and it was already pretty dead before the best friends even broke up, which itself was over 5 years ago.

Yeah, Matt's solo content is like half what happened and the other half is basically Fisticuffs/Scrublords with oneshots here and there.

Ended up checking his latest video, The Bouncer, and it's really nothing. Like it's mostly explaining the development from what could be observed on the outside with no particular insights, talking about how pissy game journalists were at the time for not getting to play it at trade shows, and its almost odd release (came out december in japan, march in the US despite being ready by January). Properly credits a different youtube channel for finding out what happened to the dev.

All I'm gonna say is that this is a really, really recent change, because before, oh, let's say, two months ago, there were a lot less citations and on-screen credits for other videos he used footage from and sources he read out from.

What Happened is weirdly popular among non-SBFP fans. Everytime there's a new episode I see it get linked all over the place, so I get why Matt keeps it going even if the series is kind of low on juice right now.

And pat is more of a 1.5 people streamer, as he plays off chat way more than anyone else does.

I kinda wish Pat would do more edited videos like that recent P3R one and those Elden Ring ones, he's pretty good at it. I don't think he has much reason to though unless a company asks him to like they did for those examples.

I started watching Woolie when he did his collabs with Little V and those were great fun. I miss not having Little V around but he's also got his own music career so I'm happy he's doing what he enjoys.

John mentioned in a stream that he was planning on moving out of his current place soon-ish, so I assume he will also be further away from Woolie

I am more surprised than I should be tbh. After all those years of having the equipment and library to record content I just kinda took for granted that he'd be his own source. Guess he learned a lot from Did You Know Gaming...

Like mouse clicks? Not some sort of mechanical keyboard?

Supposedly it's a keypad with mechanical switches. Something smaller than a normal keyboard anyway which he finds uncomfortable for his streaming setup.

anyway i could definitely be wrong, wouldn't be the first time. scrolling around he did open up the controls at one point and wasd was bound as normal. but listening at quiet points like 20:30-ish when hes being real careful on the beams it sounds very similar to mouse clicks IMO.

When he showed it off he mentioned the clicky keys at some point. Sounds like cherry mx blue switches to me maybe.

I got a good kick out of Woolie doing careful jumping to cross the bridge, only to walk back along the gantry and realize he could have skipped all of it while Reggie starts howling.
