I liked the Dante's Inferno mini lp thing he did because it was fun going through that game and having him point out neat info while playing that lame rear end game, but I can't say I think Matt's offhand comments trying to be humorous are that good compared to just blunt statements he'll make which are actually kind of funny sometimes. The Fallout 76 video was especially lame because it just kind of like... said poo poo that had already been heavily publicized by everyone? It felt really weird to do a video on something that recent, but I guess you gotta get the hits in while they're fresh?

I wonder if with 76 Matt wasn't just playing the numbers. In a year, people won't care nearly as much. (Probably.) There really was no backstage drama which is kind of the key to a good Wha' Happun? It was all very, very out in the open for all to see and enjoy.

Oh hey, Duke Nukem Forever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL7HETVAiXY. That really takes me back. When that got announced for release for real there was a big ol' circle jerking thread for all the Duke Maniacs out there and disbelievers were thrown out and shouted down and Duke was god, hail to the king. Then the demo came out and it was like an elevator party just had its cable snap.

Now that one had some actual meat to it.

Many A True Nerd does some really good, fun Stellaris(and other strategy game) playthroughs where he cuts out most/all the chaff and narrates goings-on so much you can have it on in the background and still get everything that's going on. He's not necessarily GOOD at the game and often misunderstands a ton of poo poo(he's pretty similar to giant bomb and SBF in that way) but he's really good at getting me engaged in it. He also then incorporates past runs' empires into future playthroughs, which is always fun.

MATN's also got a lot of really good Fallout content. He differs from the goon hivemind on Bethseda (in that he has any positive thoughts left) but stuff like his 'no kill run' and 'kill everything runs' in New Vegas and FO3 were great. Jon's also done runs of stuff like FO:NV Dust and that one that makes FO4 a nuclear winter (which just seem like exercises in irritation to me) but they're worth a watch.

I'm enjoying Matt's abbreviated LP of Duke Nukem Forever. I'd forgotten how many memes they thought were funny when the game was supposed to launch but they kept in on its actual launch of TYOOL 2011.

Also the... Folsom twins. Yikes. Gross.

Even Wha' Happun? can be kind of a mixed bag. Like I get doing Fallout 76 when he did meant more views but... there's not much of a story besides 'well, Bethesda.'

That said I wonder if there's something good behind Clive Barker's Jericho.

THe new Wha' Happun? on Silent Hill's HD collection was very enlightening. I had no idea just how deep a whole the studio was put into by Konami from the start. "Oh, the actual whole game code? Nah, sorry brah."

Wow. You can watch Woolie and Reggie grok what and whose attacks set up for juggles and all sorts of thing as soon as the first LP episode.

valkyrie profile got away with its gigantic cast because your party members were also basically salable resources, you had to kick one up to valhalla every so often or daddy odin would get very upset

this encouraged a semi-rotating cast where you had a couple of reliable standbys along with whatever schmuck you were leveling up to send upstairs that chapter

indivisible just seems to be glutted with characters and short on reasons to use any of them

And often for the best match you'd have to recruit, say, a mermaid at the beginning of the chapter and ship her off to Valhalla at the end. Also you got two characters you honestly wanted to keep until the end pretty early on so you were able to have party members you were used to.

I love anything he does with Liam and I've warmed up to his solo gameplay videos with all the new Matt's Nightmares, but stuff like Wha Happen doesn't have much appeal to me

I enjoy Wha' Happun, if there's something for there to have actually, uh, Happun-ed. I think even Matt kinda regrets the Fallout 76 one since all that happened there was... Bethesda. There's no real story there AND he missed out on the increasing train wreck of the solo subscriptions and God knows what else down the line.

I love how into it he gets. Woolie has a way of getting excited for the things he likes that's honestly pretty rare to see. Most online people have a very like, i dunno, Radio Excitement when they are on camera/mic.

There's certainly something to be said for seeming genuine. Like when the RE 2 remake came out, somebody did a side-by-side comparison when Tyrant first shows up and it was uncannily almost note for note (partly because they were all trying to pretend they didn't know). You don't get that with the guys.
