MBMBAM is pretty drat good, yeah. If you like their sort of humor in Monster Factory, there's quite a bit of it in MBMBAM. Griffin is an absolute treasure.

Those unity/unreal indie games overuse lighting and effects so badly. They can make decent models and textures and then slather bloom and specular shine and distortions all over until it's unbearable to look at.

Cripes, that Summer Lesson segment felt like the most pointless thing ever that dragged on way longer then it needed to. I'm sure the GAF post was dumb but I can kinda agree with the premise that stuff that tries to pretend it's not sleezy/for creepers is worse then the stuff that's just shameless/straightforward.

Don't forget Adventure Zone - which is the brothers and their dad playing a game of D&D. You don't need a deep knoweldge of D&D or tabletops to enjoy, but it can help. But you'll absolutely want to start it from the beginning.

That it would be a TV console that converts to a handheld, which means uniting their library of games that's currently split between handheld and console.

IIRC that wasn't his original idea, and was based on leaked info or something like that.

Matt now in possession of a valuable Youtube name.

I kept imagining that story of how he got the switcher nickname with that trailer.

Also pizza chains because that logo makes me think of Pizza Hut.

That kid that called Matt "the switcher!" way back in grade school or whatever was just Pat travelling back in time trying to get a good youtube name five years into their jobs, huh

please do not deflect your bad meme posting, let people tell you it was poo poo because it was poo poo and accept it

also the Switch looks rad and if it is in the 300-400 dollar range I will likely buy one

I don't think that's even lightly x360, it just looks ungainly and bulky - mind you, I think I hate most controllers for Nintendo stuff since the SNES. The concept is cool tho, I haven't seen anything about the specs but it has promise.

Ah, and this is how I came into contact with the controller for the first time:

Guess the 9gag rubbed off on me too, sorry if that was actually offensive to some of you. Just low on patience between real and internet life.

Yeah, I haven't been saying anything but their stubbornness on not reading the help menu is downright painful.
They get through like... 4 random battles in 1 episode, half of which is spent trying to figure out basic mechanics. They're underleveled and don't understand poo poo. And worst of all they know it's that bad to watch considering the viewcount jokes.

There's a pro controller that looks more like a 360 thing. Although the joy-con shell (the one you linked) is probably what's gonna be in the box.

That one I'm okay with, which is usually the story with Nintendo controllers and me. I get their idea with the shell but much like the gamepad I wouldn't be stoked to play on that for extended amounts of time.

I'm glad I checked out after the first episode.

I really wish Woolie/Liam LPs were better than they are. I like both of them, but oof. Other than Guacamelee and the FF8 one-shot, their LPs together tend to either be painful or just fall flat on their face.

They also show just using each half in your hand almost like a Wii remote and nunchuk combo on the Wii, except without the cable. Depending on how the Joy-cons feel (not sure how comfortable they'd be for extended use in a vertical grip) that might be my ideal use case. I really liked that scheme on the wii, because something about your hands being free to move felt good, and the Switch looks like it'll fix the only two issues i had, which were a lack of buttons and an unequal distribution of buttons on each hand.

God, same. Xenoblade Chronicles was amazing to play like that, i'm super ready for across the board lounging gaming.
