I love these guys. Their playthrough of Beyond Two Souls has kept me from Gameflying it out of curiosity because there's no way me playing it can be as fun as hearing them yell about a baby coming out of a hobo lady all Attack on Titan style. Also yea their podcast is shockingly good, I was worried without a visual "LOOK AT THIS STUPID poo poo" factor they'd not be as funny but they were smart enough to make the podcast just them hanging out as real life buddies chattin bout games and poo poo.

Cumshot in the Dark posted:I was introduced to these guys through their Heavy Rain playthrough. Initially I thought these guys would just be 'lol whacky youtube stars' but they've surprised me thoroughly. They actually seem to be genuinely thoughtful when breaking down why or why not certain things in games work, and they have a great sense of humor and a ton of energy that is refreshing. Their Two Souls assault has been the best I've seen. It's easy to make "FUCKIN DAVID CAGE" jokes but I like how Pat goes into poo poo like how because David has said 'game overs are a failure of the designer' he has zero tension in anything because the risk of failure is gone, and how the only things that give him any feeling of control are the poorly done martial arts poo poo. It's really nice to hear WHY David Cage is an idiot instead of just being reminded of that objective fact. Also Attack On Titan Baby.

Also if you're new to them, I just started rewatching their Last of Us video after hearing people jerk off about how it's so great yet again (ah game of the year season), and that's really worth watching over. "What movie are you referencing?" "Juno...and Oldboy! THE BEST COMBINATION!"

Just gonna say they've just posted the first part of Yakuza 4 playthrough. For those of you who don't know Yakuza is an amazing series of pseudo-GTA style (in the sense that it's an open world crime game at least) that is famous for being over the top in basically every way. This is gonna be great.

Al-Saqr posted:SKULLGIRLS CREW AINT NUTHIN TO gently caress WIT' The Yakuza games are no joke one of my favorite series out there. Everything's over the top and great, and 4's especially good. Plus it has Super Chunk in it and you can do karaoke with her. Don't buy Dead Souls though, gently caress that game.

Liam being adorably optimistic to the point of dumbassery is hilarious because it always starts off fair like 'hey you know give the game a shot we don't know how it'll shape up' and ends in poo poo like 'well maybe they'll totally remake the game at the last minute because some people on youtube say it's lame???'.

You know why I love the Super Best Friends? They had a conversation on the 'censorship' in bravely default and even though two of them were saying they disagreed with it I didn't think any of them were assholes. Like, Woolie an Liam both thought the changes weren't great and instead of just going "FREE SPEECH MEANS I GET FIFTEEN YEAR OLD TITTIES" they told actual stories about their experiences with art changing and made it clear that their main issue was the core concept rather than this specific case, and when Pat said he thought the changes actually improved the art and all they didn't act like dicks. It was, ya know, a conversation and was decent.

Al-Saqr posted:In today's video intro, Pat goes against his true personality by revealing that he actually is capable of loving his mom. That part in one of the brawlers (Dragon's Crown I think) when some fat goblin lady comes on screen and Matt goes "WOW PAT HOW'D YOUR MOM GET HERE" and there's this pause before he goes "She's always so nice to you" is legit one of the funniest things they've done.

Al-Saqr posted:I've been hearing about this here and there for a while now yet nobody points out the exact source or video or whatever it is they specifically said. people say it was a tweet, others say it was Matt and Woolie bashing her in one of their playthroughs, but I've never found the actual thing itself. Literally the only time I remember her coming up is, commenting on another video by a woman talking about videogame issues, he said something like 'man I wish you got the funding Sarkeesian got'. I'm pretty sure I've seen most of their poo poo and all and don't remember her coming up as anything more than a 'yea I kinda disagree with some of her poo poo but it's hosed up that people act like such assholes about it'. Like, they make fun of poo poo like the Mighty Number 9 drama and all so they're hardly taking the internet idiots' sides often about this poo poo.

Yea it'd be a dick move if like, Pat bitched about getting a Persona thing, because he constantly talks about his big boner for Persona so you can see where someone would go 'what man I thought you liked this poo poo'. They constantly say 'please we have no desire to own weapons, don't give us any' so yea when a dude sends them a sword (albeit a kinda cool one) they go 'drat dude we said don't do this thing'.

Yea the apology was sincere and poo poo if it was me I'd just have posted 'yea maybe you should stop sending the one thing besides vipers we literally tell you not to send in near every video if you don't want us to say it sucks to get that thing', so pretty much any apology is, to me, above and beyond what's due.

I'll shill for Trapt super hard. If you liked the "I'm gonna Set a Trap...for Kane" bit in Rustlemania and wish that you could set a trap that involves a boulder squishing him as he gets thrown into a bed of nails, you should get a Trapt game. I'm not even joking one boss in one game is a big red fire dude who is named something like Kane.

Well I think the reason most of us like these guys is you wouldn't really call them 'let's players' in most of the way we'd think of it. I mean for one it's a team instead of one person, and even then most of the video is, say, Mat yelling at Pat to use the rocket launcher while Pat yells about how Ashley needs to stop wiggling so he can shoot her free because girls are probably watching. It's not just a dude going 'yea so this is the castle level, it's kinda hard...' then ten minutes of awkward silence as he clacks buttons.

CJacobs posted:The non-machinima full playthroughs pretty much are let's plays by the standard definition. It's just that they, despite being popular (the hypest channel on youtube, even), don't fall into the usual crap most YouTube LPers do like pointless facecams et cetera. Yea I wasn't trying to legitimately create some kinda definition for how they're different from a let's play as a concept, more for how they're different from most of their peers in the let's play/video game kinda things. Basically the main difference I can think of is that pretty much them and Giant Bomb are the only dudes I'd watch play an entire JRPG without skipping an episode, because even in boring grindy things they're probably gonna be funny about it.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:He then goes on to say "Just don't make games about drugs because that's artistically void." That's not paraphrasing. Dude's got some weird issue on drugs. Apparently you can't have a thing about drugs or the people around them (unless it's good but then it's not actually about drugs). From the way he was talking the farmville bit seemed like the least important part of it. I'm almost positive he was saying 'just' about drugs, or at the very least he meant to because yea 'farmville but with weeeed man' is artistically void, as is 99% of 'stoner art' bullshit.

Laim is my 'least favorite' in the sense that literally if I had to rank the SBFP people I'd rank him last. I like a lot of stuff he's done, he has some pretty great deadpan moments that plays well off Pat and Matt's extreme stuff, but yea he has the most moments of the four that make me go 'jesus christ'.
