Froghammer posted:I'm a few pages behind, but this thread apparently has enough of a parasocial relationship with Travis to feel comfortable pretending to be his therapist. If I’m pretending, then why does his insurance provider keep accepting my charges? But, semi-seriously, Travis is not mentally ill. He’s just a wiener.

Squack McQuack posted:Am I missing something? Hasnt he talked about having mental health issues related to narcissism? Perhaps I should have said “somewhat ill” instead of seriously ill? He took a break from Twitter for his own mental health right? as somebody with a diagnosed mental illness, please go eat a million sandpapery dicks

It was, in fact, extremely weird. apatheticman posted:Overboard is the only thing I watch there anymore Same, but Overboard is suffering badly from not being able to do in-person stuff. Theoretically it shouldn't make a difference, but the games they're choosing to play because of the online environment just aren't doing it for me.

apatheticman posted:Overboard is the only thing I watch there anymore Moving on a bit from the weirdness itt if you like Overboard I'd suggest watching Funhaus's Board as Hell videos, they're at least on par with Overboard at their best. Now I liked these guys from other videos on their channel so i dont know how they are for new fans but worth a shot if you like people playing board games and being silly/ funny. Here's a few I remember enjoying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7Xj0RP59Eo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzw8VEMGbGI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3koIr-3pbfQ I discovered Funhaus during lockdown and it really scratched that itch of like Giant Bomb when it was good and Polygon stupidity and just people having a great time playing games, though modern Funhaus while good at times isn't as good as it used to be as a lot of the crew have left, golden age was about 2 years ago and back from there. Their drunk video game vids are also pretty fun too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHir8eYIZS0 Also if people dont like them or as it's the internet really hate them for some reason thats fine, its all subjective, I just like them and wanted to share

Some may find that learning how to improv by immediately disagreeing and diminishing what your cohost said is good advice for a successful podcast. Others may see it as hilarious satirical wit.

Phlag posted:John Roderick shouldn’t have repeatedly put himself in situations where people had to search his soul for answers to the question “Hmmmm is this guy really a [racist/child abuser] or just a loving idiot.” Ariong posted:If I recall correctly, that was the only one because the scandal happened almost immediately afterward. Nick: "What killed me!?" Griffin: "I mean, hubris." I liked Let's Go to Hell, but I didn't see it lasting very long since, as mentioned, there was another guy doing the same thing. Though I do wish Griffin continued CoolGames Inc. once Nick was replaced at Polygon. Imagine the energy Griffin & BDG could've brought to that podcast together.

sticklefifer posted:I like how neither of these options are [a comedian]. The incident happened only a few months before Justin and Griffin left, and he said at the time they'd been looking to leave for about a year. Having Nick torpedo all their collaborations probably just helped accelerate Griffin's exit, as he was already looking for the exit ramp.

Boundary Break and Let's Go to Hell weren't very similar at all. Let's Go to Hell was comedic, Boundary Break is dry, informative and honestly pretty boring

It didn't take long for me to fall off the channel once the work-from-home era started.

Yeah that’s pretty insufferable lmao Travis constantly falls over himself to make any situation about him, he’s the protagonist and everyone else is there to to advance his story Honestly if he could just rein it back a bit it would be fine but he seems like he can’t control it to his own detriment

I mean he's gone on record talking about how his narcissism is a detriment, so instead of hating on him I just feel kinda bad for him. It must suck to be so anxious that you constantly need attention and validation, what a chore that must be.

Thank you so much for posting this, I love this person's work and this might be my favorite bit they ever did. My only disappointment is that the part where Justin accuses Travis of not thinking 22 slices is a lot of pizza didn't make it in.
