geodude shouldn't be the face are you crazy he's a fuckin rock with arms and he shows up a billion times in every fuckin cave i mean i'm not "big" on pikachu but it's a good public face for the brand in being a cutesy pokemon that makes the game look fun and inventive and, most importantly, isn't a fuckin rock with fuckin arms plus the replacement pikachus - plusle, minun, marill to an extent, emolga, pachirisu - they all suck i mean sure pikachu might not be the best public face nowadays in the sense of its power (although its brand recognition is through the roof), but i dunno what I'd replace it with lucario? ampharos, maybe? charizard? mewtwo, i guess?

Shadowrun destroyed harmontown yeah To be fair it destroyed a segment that wasn't working already considering that nobody gave a poo poo about it, it was getting less and less onscreen time, and kumail had basically disappeared from the show entirely so. Yeah I do agree though that switching systems outside of extremely extenuating circumstances can kill podcasts. Right now I'm trying to get through friends at the table and although dungeon world sounds like a fun game to play, making up the world and lore communally is some dire, dire radio

Travis343 posted:One of my biggest issues with stuff like Blue Apron is that it's marketed to a very specific type of person - younger, affluent, yet sheltered, because they can afford to pay a premium to have other people do things they don't know how to do themselves, via the internet, rather than using that same internet to learn how to do/make whatever product they're buying. This person also, often paradoxically so, likes to think of themselves as 'ahead of the pack' because they rely on Internet services rather than 'brick and mortar' services, which are seen as part of the establishment. They're participating in an economy of such extreme privilege that they're paying Internet people to send them the basic staples of self-sufficiency and adulthood while at the same time getting to think of themselves as socially advanced people. hmm, good point. alternatively: who the gently caress cares

sorry, "AmazonFresh", that's what it's apparently called on top of apps like InstaCart being an update for whatever grocery outlets marketed to housewives in the suburbs in the sixties in-home grocery delivery services at this point you're whining about something that's been in existence for, what, half a century or more

Spaced God posted:So if I want to get into TAZ, do I have to start from episode 1? Or do they reset the campaign from time to time? It's all one campaign. You want to start from episode 1, because the first episodes are by far the weakest (well, until an episode or two in Crystal Kingdom where Griffin basically stops the campaign and goofs for storytime in a really inartful way, but whatever it's clearly necessary for THE CANON). To be clear, they're still loving great, but you definitely want to start with Here There Be Gerblins since it's him doing a premade adventure and he hasn't come up with his own internal canon yet so the jump in quality once Griffin pulls away from Typical Fantasy poo poo is stronger.

I seriously think that most people should go with the extended cut of episode 1, to be honest. It flows well and never really felt bloated. A little unfocused, sure, but unlike say Nerd Poker or Friends at the Table (both of which DESPERATELY needed really ruthless editing just to approach coherency, much less enjoyability), both of which have AWFUL chargen episodes, TAZ's is relatively quick and feels pretty tight, if just a bit goofy. I dunno. I quit Harmontown when it switched systems, and never actually got into Nerd Poker or FatT (the latter I seriously tried to like and just couldn't). TAZ is pretty much the only DnD podcast I've consistently listened to since Harmontown and definitely in a more specific and repeated way than virtually every other podcast, especially DnD related ones. I've heard every episode of it at least three times over excepting for the current arc, and even there I've listened to the Hodgepodge eps like five or six times already. Murder on the Rockport Limited might be the best run of podcasts I've ever heard, especially considering it's all constructed narrative over improvisational/nonfiction/comedy work. I seriously cannot think of a single non-fantastic moment of that entire arc. It's astounding.

My favorite part is when they enter Rockport and meet all the Tom Bodetts inside it, and Merle puts in the killswitch in the charmed one. Griffin's disconcerted delivery of "Well...time to go, I guess..." Makes me crack up to this day. Every other arc, in my opinion, has problems. From Gerblins being clearly From The Module as gently caress, to Petals' weird disconnected feel- it's a bank heist, spy thriller, and Mad Max-style bloodsport with each part not feeling part of the same whole - to Crystal Kingdom's bad pacing issues. But Rockport? Rockport's loving PERFECT.

I love the entire podcast, to be clear. Rockport, though, is Griffin's opus. It's loving wondrous. thebardyspoon posted:Maybe it's just cause I super marathoned the entire series through to the beginning of the Crystal Kingdom arc and now have to wait between episodes like everyone else but I am enjoying this one the least, it's had the least interesting location, lots of super nasally Lucas dialogue and quite a few fights that have gone on a bit too long. Nah, it's not that. Although I still think Gerblins is the worst arc (pre-nature cleric Merle is boring as gently caress, nobody has a really good handle on their characters outside of Justin, and that's only by its end, I enjoy Griffin's universe over the straight riffs on fantasy that TAZ started out as), I could totally see the arguments for CK. I think the biggest issue, as aforementioned, is pacing; Griffin's even said so in TTAZZ, where he straight-up admitted that he's using this arc to set up his campaign's endgame, and it totally shows. There's big exposition dump early on in the arc when the main trio arrive on the crystallized ship for the first time, and a second one more recently that's clearly supposed to provide the crucial backstory for whoever the big bad is via explaining how planes work in the TAZ-verse. It's important and necessary, clearly, but it's awkwardly done, what with "I'm going to explain to you how this whole universe works, okay now I'm gonna double-cross you okay bye" Lucas being a character that exists in this narrative.

It amazes me that a team of LA based comedians who are all at the same location, who've all had DEEP experience interacting with each other both professionally and while playing D and D (Nerd Poker was just Brian Posehn deciding to record his weekly game, apparently), how Nerd Poker is such a deeply unfunny boring memey piece of poo poo.

SpacePig posted:Griffin is an ideas man, while Justin is all about execution. Griffin wouldn't spend 10 minutes doing Schnowden or Amelie, or looking up facts about Ronald McDonald. Conversely, I can't imagine Juice writing his own DnD campaign. It's a difference in kind. Griffin's Amiibo Corner. TAZ. #Stonerznation. The trifecta of perfection - the trifection - that proves without a doubt Griffin is objectively the best brother. Also his vine is really good.

I'm genuinely worried that MBMBaM will devolve into a "dads talking about their kids/parenting" podcast. Yes, yes, I know it's practically memetic at this point, but I've gone through enough frustration with favorite indie comedians who swear up and down that being a dad won't change their acts/they'll complain about how annoying "dad comedian" humor is and like two years later they're wearing plaid shirts and talking about how little Timmy took his first steps or some really cutesy anecdote about something young Mandy did. They lose all their edge and it's really unfortunate, pretty much the only person I've seen transition to "being a dad" humor well was Patton Oswalt and that was largely because he still made it about how much of a depressed fuckup he was, and how he suddenly had obligations to be a happier person beyond himself. Pretty much everybody else just loses their edge and what makes them compelling, and I really hope that doesn't happen with my three favorite goodboys.
