Lore states that Pat and Woolie were actually the Original Best Friends, Matt and Liam just really hit it off when Liam became a part of the channel.

Nope! Liam worked with Woolie Matt and Crymetina at their game testing job

Woolie liked the Broly movie, Pat was being a poo poo because he loves being ignorant.

Woolie also doesn't have anything insightful or interesting to say about it other than "Budget!" and manages to get basic plot details of the movie he literally just saw wrong while Pat spews the same played-out jokes they do any time they talk about Dragonball and refuses to engage with anything Woolie says

It's two people having two different conversations and neither of them are good

"by the accounts of people with suspect motives desperate to deny that Katsura Hashino isn't a hateful bigot who are writing elaborate fanfiction of a non-existent epilogue that fixes the extremely bad look the game ends on" is a not a position I'd want to back up but hey

The Matt nintendo direct video was extremely dire

Like he might as well only have put up the bit with Astral Chain because everything else was "I don't know/care what this is" topped off with him being upset the Link's Awakening art style wasn't "cool" enough

Sometimes what an author says about their work and what the work actually says are two completely different things

See, for example, the Rising of the Shield Hero's author many attempts to act like he's not writing a story where the protagonist is directly complicity in slavery

In a world where Hideaki Anno released his eva movies on time and they weren’t an exercise in him browbeating the audience into submission I’d totally be calling Pat a madman.

But the problem is, this is earth, Anno’s an rear end, GRRM is fart-arsing and Pat is right in all realms bar the realistic (regarding the refund thing).

Congratulations, this is the worst take

I'm a couple videos in, I'm surprised how apologetic they are about the game. Not that that's a bad thing or anything, I guess their finding the bright side of it.

Yeah this doesn't last

but they're not wrong that the game is a result of people having to work with a new engine and technology and having an increasingly rushed release date to meet, which is honestly the case behind like 60% of all bad video games

after hearing tales of woolie's awful fire emblem three houses videos I took a look and

wow!

I didn't watch it but I saw people who are clearly unfamiliar with him/SBF passing around his Fire Emblem video as if he's some DSP-tier moron so I'm guessing it didn't go well
it's like peak "why does these videos exist"

he isn't engaging with the game on any level beyond the barest surface and I can't figure out why he decided this was a good idea

In fact, most of his LPs of varying lengths are bad and it's kind of a bummer!

I wish Woolie wouldn't take criticism from dumb assholes to heart so much

hearing him debate Astral Chain because people were dumb about FIre Emblem was sad

there is a vast gulf of difference between Woolie playing a game he's excited for in a genre he's good at and Woolie very clearly making GBS threads out three videos for a game he doesn't care about but it's hot right now and he needs those views.

Wha Happen is good most of the time and I'm glad he's stopped doing more recent stuff since those are always the worst. Fallout 76 was just reposting a bunch of reddit threads in a video, a ton of stuff in the Anthem video was just actively wrong, and the MvCI video is "we don't know what happened so let's just do a bunch of speculation"

It's actually about Indivisible. Pat hates it, Woolie loves it, they argue about it incessantly for three hours because it's clear they both want different things from the game but aren't able to just leave it at that so it has to meet some kinds of non-existent objective "good" threshold for them to fight over.

im good at it but the games combat is puddle-deep and the optimal strategy by midgame and beyond is to slap all the buttons as fast as possible and the game never, ever challenges you on that.
