The Legend of the Mystical Ninja LP with Woolie and Eye-patch Wolf is really good.

I have been binging the thousand year door LP and it's legitimately one of the best things anyone from best friends has ever made, pre-split or otherwise. the poo poo that goes down in the Glitzville arc, and the ad-libbing they do for the characters, was some of the best comedy they've produced. I highly recommend it, it's such a good LP. It's got slow spots, as expected of any long LP, but MAN are the good spots worth it.

their constant bewilderment that this is a game that exists also never ceases to amuse because holy moly that game does some poo poo. I understand why Nintendo went in reverse so incredibly hard from it, but man, it is super disappointing anyways because it's such a unique game.

A lot of woolie's LPs are pretty good. The Legend of the Mystical Ninja one he did with Eyepatch Wolf was pretty amazing, and the Doom ones were pretty good as well. He has a nice cast of characters with Reggie, Billy, and Little V.

Matt...makes me sad nowadays. I wish him well, but his new stuff really isn't doing it for me.

generally, the former best friends have really never grasped the general appeal for people to drop a 5-10 or more dollar automatic monthly billing down on a patreon and forget about it and just be happy they're contributing somehow to the content provider they like. there's twitch subs sure, but I wager patreon takes less of a cut. like you can just say the patreon is an automatic tip jar if you want, it's literally just an avenue for easy money and they are just the most ADAMANTLY opposed to the very idea. Except Matt I guess.

Woolie really, really hates it when people tell him what to do. He probably feels he will have less freedom to tell people to gently caress off if he has a Patreon.

Matt tended to get really nasty, personal, and inappropriate really quickly.

I also like the dude, but after going back and watching the old videos, it was clear that Matt was kind of a passive aggressive bully. Dude loved to dish it out, but pouted like a baby whenever he had to take it.

Also, it was clear Woolie really wasn't cool with the "lore" Matt would make up about him in the old channel after awhile. He's admitted it in a roundabout way several times during the Castle Superbeast podcast.

Geez, people have been making Darkside Woolie comparisons all week, but never has it been more explicit than today's Arkham. Nearly half of the episode is dead silent- no game soundtrack, no commentary, just heavy breathing and Woolie making guttural, unhappy noises. The rest is him taking swipes at the game or his chat. Like, holy poo poo dude- nobody is forcing him to play it, his view counts are awful, and he's just plowing forward like it was 2008 and a high volume of output was better than a low volume of actual, edited, polished content.

i think sex pest is a completely correct term for what he did? sexual predator is too "harsh", but tricking people into thinking you are interested in a relationship with them, and then ghosting them when you get what you want makes you a sex pest.

For me, a Sex Pest is someone who tries to harass or guilt someone into having sex with them. Aziz Ansari is my go to example for a sex pest. I could be wrong on this though.

That didn't really seem to happen with Danny. What happened was he had some one night stands with people that were infatuated with the idea of him because hey! Sex!

He should have said no. That was his mistake, but he's an idiot, so he didn't.

As for what he should have done, he should have handled them the way Robert Pattison handles his fans: Gently let them down by showing he's a normal person with real problems instead of a Sparkling Vampire.

i think the fact this happened to multiple people is what makes him a sex pest. the most generous interpretation is what you said, that he's an idiot who made a mistake, but if that was the case imo, it would have ended with the first person he hurt. you don't keep doing that if your a well meaning idiot.

im saying all this as a former fan, who literally stopped watching game grumps when the allegations came out. even when you get past the bullshit criminal accusations, the actual real things he did were incredibly lovely, and even if he had only done these things between 2014-2017, and he has become a better person who looks back at the things in disgust, i don't know if i can watch their content or buy their products anymore.

Yep. Society generally doesn't approve of people who sleep around. Still don't think that makes him a sexpest, just a regular human rear end in a top hat.

That being said, your reasons for not liking the guy are perfectly valid, and I've stopped being a fan of people for much less. I can't say I'm really a fan of Game Grumps anymore either.

Like for something "gaining absolute dominance over the industry" I've managed to watch probably a whole two modern marvel movies and they were the most divorced from the overall thing at that. (Guardians of the Galaxy 1/2)

I haven't watched a Marvel movie since Thor 3, but they're so omnipresent in the culture I know what's happened in all of them. That screams cultural dominance to me. Geek culture generally won't shut up about them.

Other than Uncut Gems, it feels like most of the movies I have watched recently have been pre-2014.

Yes, but less and less of them are being made as time goes on. Surely you've noticed that? The good movies that are still being made are being made despite Disney's presence, and not because of it.

I've been listening to the podcast in reverse order starting with CSB and now I'm in SBFC. It's really surreal that Matt and Pat had beef because I don't sense any of that all

When you watch the old playthroughs or listen to the old podcasts, whenever Pat says or does something that Matt doesn't approve of, Matt's tone quickly changes and he starts getting really terse. Sometimes he stops talking entirely, and you can practically hear him fuming. Woolie and Liam usually filled the dead air, so it's not noticeable unless you look for it, but once you start looking for it, its definitely there.

When Matt used to post here he would regularly vent about Pat doing stuff that would piss him off.
