Yea, this is a really good OP but it should also include the gameplay overview series Justin and Griffin do. Justin put up a playlist of a lot of them but he hasn't been keeping it updated with the newer ones.

The only time I can forsee a PC dying without their player organizing a big event with the DM beforehand is if they do something monumentally stupid, like intentionally putting on a Grand Relic. Then again, there is always resurrection. Basically, it's going to be a capital bee Big capital jee Deal.
I can imagine Griffin working in somebody dying but hanging around in Ghost Form or something, then having the Void Fish puke up a clone of the character next time they go to the moon.

What did they say, exactly? I haven't been following the podcast.
I think it was "Something Awful forums-level nickel and diming" while discussing monetisation of the game :v:

I hope the Taako takes a look into the Plane of Thought gem and sees a family gathered around a glowing box holding yellow semicircles, and it fades to the next scene just as one of them goes to take a bite.
I was honestly expecting Griffin to do some weird fourth-wall breaking poo poo where he zoomed out to show a family of adorable dorks rolling dice next to their computers...

I still hold Boy Mayor as the best, only because he's the best example of the "No Middle Sliders" spirit of the show, but Ja'am is the truest monster to come out of all this.
This may be a minority opinion but I feel like they really didn't probe the limits of what's possible in Spore. I distinctly remember it being possible to do things like attach legs to other legs and hold down a key combination to make asymmetrical creatures.

I like to think that an NPC trader who is trying to introduce the world to the concept of his tacos has been present in every populated place they've gone to, but the boys don't go off the rails enough to find him.
So they'll have to go around again in NG+ to 100% everything?

Taako is bar none the most dynamic and interesting PC of THB, it's not hard to get why people are thirsty for him. Granted, it's still fair to say he owes a lot of his popularity to the support from his dad and brother who let him shine.
I honestly find Taako the character far more entertaining and humorous than Justin the human. (Justin the human is still p. cool though)

quote:

The brothers brought this ethic to their work on the MBMBaM TV show, too. There’s one question per episode, with the brothers spending most of the half-hour researching—“researching”—their answer. It feels like a cross between Going Deep with David Rees (aka one of the funniest and most empathetic TV shows in recent memory) and Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, somehow, though that may mostly be in set design. With fewer listener voices, the relationships between the brothers expand to fill more of the show, but there’s a new character, too, one the McElroys wanted to make sure to do right by: the town of Huntington, West Virginia.
Info for people who were wondering about the format of the upcoming show.

I was listening to the first episode again not long ago where the boys are setting up their characters. Did you remember that Taako worships Olmec?

Edit: Wait I just realised this plays into the "Taako is a Mexican elf" thing, haha

You know what was good? Those Hearthstone videos Griffin would do with that other guy. He should go back to doing those instead of these solo adventures.
I miss the sometimes serious / sometimes comedy game reviews and commentary Griffin and Justin used to do. I actually bought a couple of games I would have otherwise never given a second look on the back of those.

My favorite part was the part where Griffin made the man's mouth open very wide, and then kept making it open wider and wider until it was so wide that my soul got sucked into it and now I'm in hell. Also the big middle fingers.
As somebody who hasn't watched the episode yet, I cannot tell if this is an accurate description of a Griffin McElroy video or an excerpt from Griffin McElroy erotic fiction.

Is there still a MBMBaM 'sampler' link or whatever? I want to introduce a friend but I'd rather give them a 5–10 minute series of clips rather than have them listen to a whole episode.

I haven't actually heard an ad for another podcast in a long time since I just skip through the money zone every time.
The MBMBaM money zone segments are quite literally the only advertising in any medium that I don't go out of my way to block or avoid. I really respect them for being willing to (presumably) let sponsors go rather than 'stay on message'; they make sponsorship just another natural segment of the show and ultimately it allows them to advertise pretty much anything without tarnishing their own personal brand.

Edit: I guess you were specifically talking about the pre-recorded bits for other podcasts which are trash but whatever I'm leaving this here

Do you all watch these streams live? Are they on Twitch or something? Once or twice I've thought "hey I'll check out these PUBG videos, I don't know what this game is all about" but they're all about two freaking hours long.
