kidcoelacanth posted:I rather enjoy the flophouse and probably wouldn't have started on it if not for their guest adventure zone. Also Elliot's voice is way less irritating on the show than in the ad. Counterpoint: I couldn't listen to their guest Adventure Zone because of Elliot's voice.

myron cope posted:I actually heard that one, I guess maybe I skip if it sounds lame? I dunno. I don't usually listen. Griffin has a real tendency to babble nervously when it's just him, not only are the taz moneyzone spots not funny they're kind of sad and off putting.

SpacePig posted:I only ever listen to 2 non-McElroy Max Fun shows, are there ads for MBMBaM? I've never heard one. The TAZ ones are definitely the best ads on the network, because they're actually funny in the ad, but JJHo and SPY have had some half-decent ones, too. I heard an ad for mbmbam on another show once, it ended with Griffin lamenting that they had thirty seconds for this ad and "we did racism, imagine what we can do with a whole hour". It was pretty funny but I don't know how that would read to a person who didn't already love the McElroy bros.

Judge John Hodgman has pretty good ads because he lists a few of the disputes he's heard and you get a pretty good sense of his style of humor from the way he talks about it. Mbmbam would probably be better advertised by a brief sample of the questions they get.

Do you guys ever feel weird or creepy for knowing this much about these guys? I re-listen to old episodes a lot and basically I have compiled a thorough mental profile of the McElroy bros and their family at this point and sometimes I feel a little weird about that

Toxxupation posted:I think the most interesting part of a Groundhog's Day scenario is characters approaching the same or similar event in different ways with knowledge gained from looping (like, what Magnus did at the very beginning), and the least interesting is when it's treated like a quicksave function. So although I liked the puzzle game element I'm more frustrated that this whole arc is already leaning on "I try this, we all died, okay now I try THIS." It's both boring and completely removes the stakes of the story because there's absolutely zero punishment for failure. Well the alternative is every single episode is a loop and the podcast is identical episodes with minor differences for literal years until they get it right.

Toxxupation posted:I think the best solution would've been not introducing puzzles with lethal failstates (or puzzles that took advantage of its setup, sorta like how the first "puzzle" the group had to solve was getting out of/being prevented from being thrown in jail). I also like it when the puzzle is Majora's Mask-y like figuring out how to do stuff or get to a location faster over a straight up solve or die scenario like this episode was chock full of. Death is the least interesting failure state in this arc over wasting time or being inefficient. I'm sure there will be a decent amount of that but even Groundhog Day had a montage of Phil dying repeatedly with basically nothing else changing from day to day. I haven't seen that Edge of Tomorrow movie but from what I gather it's basically this e: also as a DM, having created a scenario where you can kill your heroes freely, of course he's going to do it. He even kind of has to, the grim reaper dude from CK stated that they'd all died dozens of times, it'd be a plot hole now if they didn't.

Have you ever read Justin writing about a game he absolutely hated? The tie-in to the new Ghostbusters movie is the most recent example but there's a few of them.

Guy Mann posted:Is this the first episode they've done where the big goof of the episode was just recounting a thing that they did with their kid? Well there was a lot of goofs in the episode besides that but even saying leading with an anecdote about fatherhood, not even close. The first one I remember is Glass Shark which is from right after the kid was born, so like two years ago.

Ep 109, Flapjack Nickelsack. They probably talk about it in a few episodes but there's a ton of Clint stories right at the beginning of this one.

You've got to listen to it from the beginning. You will miss out on some of the classic touchstones of the franchise like Hey Jeffrey, walnut pleasure, and the ABBA song. MBMBAM is very good very quickly. There's only a small handful I would call clunkers out of like three hundred episodes now.

atomicthumbs posted:let's have a discussion about the ethics of using a mind control backdoor on a charming and friendly earth elemental It seems very bad to me. I do wonder if they are going to be able to solve Griffin's time puzzle without using it though. I hope they are able to execute a final loop where they help everyone with their problems. Or at least that it works out Majora's Mask style and cherry-picks the best parts of all your loops.

showbiz_liz posted:So the old woman with the chalice has got to be that little girl, right? And possibly she is also the temple 'goddess' at the same time? I believe the old woman who keeps bringing them back is June but Istus is an actual D&D goddess, she's not something Griffin made up for the storyline. I think it is pretty unlikely she will turn out to be the Goddess as well.

Especially given how good the last Adventure Zone ep was. Have you dug into Justin and Griffin's polygon stuff? They've got tons of overview videos up there. Monster Factory, Griffin's amiibo corner, etc. Plus a lot of Griffin solo videos, and the stuff he does with Nick Robinson is all worth listening to. What about Things I Bought At Sheetz?

Imagine all the mra/gator types who hate polygon because it is part of the robocop conspiracy to destroy video games watching Car Boys or Monster Factory taking notes trying to figure out how they are secretly pushing a feminist agenda by spawning hundreds of ghost children in a forest and ripping a bus driver's head off by accident
