Looking forward to Pat saying hxh is the greatest shonen of all time in a month. I love that his major complaint is that the show doesn't explain how powers work and the very next arc is an exhaustive explanation of how nen works for the next 100 episodes

Not even powers just why are people in the anime so strong right off the bat.

That's part of the powers explanation.

Basically some people have the ability to manipulate their life energy to produce a variety of effects. Many people who have these powers don't know any details about them and/or haven't been trained in them correctly because the illuminati suppresses that information and filters those people out of society and into their ranks through the hunter exam.

I'm laughing really hard that Pat loves hxh now and is trying to tell woolie he's wrong

Woolie has never seen it beyond part of the first OVA from the 90s and iirc never even got to the tournament at the end of the hunter exam. It SEEMS like a very conventional story for a while and the swerves are subtle format stuff at first, like the first tournament ending prematurely for reasons and the second one existing only as a backdrop for the characters' personal goals and getting completely dismissed once they're satisfied.

I really hope he finishes it because he's already noticed how heavily HxH has been ripped off and I want to hear what he thinks about the ridiculous isekai arc

Pat's gonna finish it. Once he starts binge watching something he doesn't stop.

I'm hype. I'm getting excited and hope pat having a question or theory getting answered by the show happens over and over ("I wonder if they're ever going to explain how these powers work" immediately before the most extensive lore dump ever in an anime about how powers work, "I wonder if anyone ever respecs their skill tree in an anime" with the thing that happens about a hundred episodes from now, etc)

Why are we all dissing on Woolie again?

Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector.

The THUG2 LP is suffering. A mixture of steadfast "I think this is how it works so I'll fail hundreds of times" and "never learning anything from context".

At least they're not Giant Bomb and are actually capable of completing multiple games of their own free will.

Didn’t someone speculate a couple of months ago about bad blood between Liam and pat here?

Yeah, I did. It seemed obvious because Liam did videos with and keeps open communication with everyone except Pat, but i guess it wasn't that obvious until now.

Giant Bomb is just SBFP but they've all hated each other for years and they've got a CBS contract so they'll never be honest and leave.

Lot of fingers pointed at Pat and honestly not really going to deny that as dudes a rear end in a top hat who doesn't know how to cut it out and just doubles down- but part of me wonders if Matt was a issue as well due to the whole business side of things. For awhile now if he got mad he'd talk about how he signs the paychecks they get or how he's the boss and get really whiny to the point where I don't *think* it was a joke so I just gotta think on it.

I feel worse for woolie. He looked the most distraught out of all of them to the point he looked moments away from crying and I hope that dude winds up okay. I know he has the "weakest" channel of the group and I'd hate to see him give up what he loves.

matt spends shitloads of money on anime figs and custom intros and puts tons of work into his solo channel and then shows up to the main channel stuff drunk or high and not giving a poo poo so its not really a huge surprise to me on that end. i disagree btw woolie's channel has Kirby Lore so it's by default the best channel on youtube.

I get why they didn’t do more together, but it’s kind of a shame. What they did do together was usually solid, and their Barkley playthrough is still one of my favorite things on the channel.

yeah! i really enjoyed that. they seem like they had chemistry but then something happened. also it wasnt me, i must have just thought i said it itt

Rip best friends, I def feel the most for
Woolie. While prob the most criticized by comments for maybe not having the strongest possibility/qualities as the others, my man showed up for work every single day and was always putting in 100% at the office. And god damnit, he's black and likes Muse. My spirit brother forever.

I think we all saw the writing on the wall and many of us aren't very surprised by this. Throughout the years I never liked the way Matt would sandbag segments he wasn't feeling or would check out. That stuff gave me the impression he could be very passive aggressive and annoying to be around if he's wasn't getting his way. Doubly moreso if he behaved that way with boss stuff. I know I would get very tired of that.


I want to also throw a huge recommendation for Funhaus. They're great for anyone like me whose work/life obligations keep them from consuming hours of content every day as all of their uploads are about an hour of play very well edited down to 10-15min.

At first I didn't like the editing cause I still did the fast and loose style of sbfz but I came to adore it if not because they're such a huge time saver.

These were the vids that got me hooked on them. Big, big loving laughs here when get started talking about Joel Schumaker hating women and only wanting to cast big oily jacked dudes for Batman & Robin :laugh: there's a reason clip has 1.2 million views.

They also do a few podcasts if you want more longform stuff. They also just added Alanah Pierce from IGN, who I wasn't sure of at first (not because IGN is questionable or anything but solely because I hate all women, drat fake gamer m'ladies trying to steal our hobby for themselves in favor of big feminist agenda) but she's real as gently caress, has had a impact on the channel having more scripted segments, which I believe work extremely well even tho they're mainly all about improv and she's not afraid to say anything really. Just a great group overall. Which means their inevitable disbanding is just a few months away...

I haven't followed these guys for too long compared to some people itt but woolie always seemed like the most together and professional of the three

I don't like Matt's vibe of insane frenetic forced energy and constant jump cuts and editing for a relentless pace you get on his channel compared with sounding like hes about to take a nap under the desk in the main channel vids. He's clearly, obviously more satisfied doing one over the other and is bad at pretending with people he doesn't like. I hope he cheers up and feels more satisfied and in control of things after this all blows over.

personally I'm glad I can continue to support woolie and matt without having to interact with pat-related content at all

e: lol at it being "very telling" that people who aren't friends with pat are subtweeting about him. maybe the telling thing is that pat kind of sucks?

Or maybe those people are abusive and have personality disorders. We'll never know, but my experience with "cool freaks wikipedia club" tells me that once you start literally harassing people it doesn't matter how morally right you think you are, you're a loving rear end in a top hat.

Matt's a lovely businessman, but Pat had both Liam and Matt end up not liking him. Both guys are fine with Woolie, so I think there's a common thread there.

Yeah, two toxic people went "we need to shun this guy and never talk to him or explain our feelings and be insanely passive aggressive and encourage our fans to dogpile them", that's the common thread. The issue is probably just that Pat is stubborn and people like Matt and Liam get incredibly hostile and toxic when they don't remain in control and get 100 percent agreement from others all the time.

You see how easy it is to throw people under the bus, yeah?
