Troy Baker left the channel and admits that their friendship is not currently ok, but hopefully will be with time. Nolan has been avoiding the subject, and now appears on the channel solo.

Troy said they have disagreement over the direction of the channel, but I feel the producer and Nolan finally cannot stand Troy anymore and kicked him out.

They do playthrough of Retro games. It also has Nolan's first playthrough of Uncharted 1&2 and The Last of Us 1.

To me, he's a tryhard actor who found his niche in video game. In the TLOU playthrough, he kept trying to explain how and why he acted in the way he did in the certain scenes, while Nolan just wants to play the game and enjoy for what it is.

He also kept telling Nolan that he beat TLOU on Ground, the hardest level on TLOU, and how Nolan has it easy. But then he stuggled like Nolan when it's his turn to play. Frankly, he bullshit and embellish so much of his story, that even Nolan called him out. In one of the more recent videos, Nolan said he didn't remember it happening in the way Troy was saying as Nolan was there watching the scene being film.

They seem like good friend in the beginning, but I think it slowly evolve in Nolan being sick of Troy pretentiousness. In the Uncharted playthrough, Troy kept bashing Nolan for dying when Troy is giving him the wrong control information.

Yeah. Kind of figured this was gonna happen. I watched some of their older videos when they were first starting and the tone change from then to their TLOU playthrough was staggering

When I used to play games in front of my good friend as kids it got annoying pretty damn quick. Theres something really boring and frustrating for the person not playing the game and frustrating for the person playing hearing the backseat player.

For a show they really needed to lay down some intentions for what they wanted it to be. Instead of just winging it. One person has a certain mindset of what they want to talk about and the other is different it might not flow or mesh well.

In the UC2 playthrough, you can tell Nolan is frustrated in certain part of the game, but Troy just ignores him to interview the guest.

The difference between them two on the channel is that they both are below average gamers, but only Nolan is willing to admit it.

Am I alone in thinking a bunch of the clique of voice actors that you'd hear everywhere in the mid 00's kind of grew too big for their breaches?

I miss my big brother. He could watch me play a game for hours and hours without ever backseat gaming, just watching and enjoying.

Benefit of the doubt:

There's a big difference between playing in your home by yourself and playing somewhere foreign, while on film, with someone with you and a huge audience watching.

Most people perform worse under those conditions.

Just recently I beat RE3make on Inferno, S Rank with no deaths (until the final boss) and no shop items.

$5 says if I had to play it in your house on your ugly uncomfortable chair while you sat next to me going "ANother FUn FAcT ABoUt my DoG IS TAHT HE SMELLS OF beANS!" in my ear while a camera was in my face and I knew 10,000 nerds were watching judging every move I made, I bet I'd fuck up and die on Normal.

I was the same but inverted

My brother is 5 years older than me and when I was a kid there were games i couldn't play (or at least was shit at) that he could dominate.

And I would sit there and watch and have fun seeing him walk over things I smashed my head against.

Alone In The Dark was a great example. I could not figure out the puzzles. Seeing him do it was like magic.

Early days of Lets Plays I suppose.

Yeah IDK why that guy said that it's hard for someone to watch you play video games. Lots of people watch video games together. Usually when you're friends with each other you like spending time bonding. My brother and I are the same. I have multiple friends who hated playing video games like Resident Evil, or Metal Gear Solid, and would just watch me play them.

Oh yeah I guess I did that when I was really young. I remember watching him beat Ocarina of Time and being flabbergasted at how he managed to maneuver it.

Then once I got older our roles reversed, I guess. I think he liked seeing me have fun. He bought me a PS2 for my 12th birthday and we sat on the porch playing God of War and then a year or 2 later he was watching me fight in the shadow of colossi. Good memories.

They weren't egregious. They were at least fine.

I feel like Nolan North has flopped more, but I love him too and think that's mostly just him not caring about some shitty character.
