Current Events > still nobody to take the throne from Two Best Friends

(+) Yeah! (+)

their subreddit is still fairly popular

no shitstorm for like the third year in a row :(

surely someones got to come and fill the void eventually... right...?

You have to have the chemistry they all had. That was lightning in a bottle.

I really tried to follow their individual channels but its frustrating to watch them now. All 4 channels are meh to bad. They split into the worst two possible twosomes and barely play together in those twosomes at all.

Matt - Super samey content unless Liams around. Desperately NEEDS someone to play off of.
Pat - Streams are too long and also has no one to play off of.
Woolie - Has shitty sidekicks. Fuck you Minh. Also, Woolies always been on a slider alternating between boring mediator and cringy weeb. When hes in the middle hes fine though.
Liam - Probably the most entertaining solo channel but most of his stuff is too-long streams as well and he doesnt even do anything now unless hes on Matts channel.

The only thing I still follow from them is Pat and Woolie's podcast, which is still really fun imo.

But Matt's analysis videos are dry and boring, Pat does streams which I don't care about, Woolie's LPs are boring, and i don't even know what Liam is up to now.

Him and Paige together, especially if Paige is driving, are really good.

Woolie is... trying, in both senses of the term. What doesn't help is he has a problem with articulating his thoughts in a succinct manner. More and more he takes games to a complete halt so he can think about what he wants to say, stumble around to what he means, and then finally get it out. I think when he was paired with Pat, Pat was able to more succinctly articulate their collected thoughts and Woolie played better off that.

I do like his "What Happened" pieces. It's interesting history.

i don't even know what Liam is up to now.

Liam went back to school a while ago. He still seems to be trying to find himself. Remember he's like ten years younger than any of the others.

ive never really watched a podcast before... i kinda just want to see them playing games or even just doing something other than just talking

maybe not watching the podcast is a mistake

I listen to the .mp3 piecemeal during commutes and workouts. I never once actually watched the podcast >_>

I see. I watched their Cuphead partial playthrough years ago and it was pretty okay but their interactions just seemed to consist of them lazily faux-insulting eachother and talking about their cat. It had none of the energy or chemistry of the old channel. Maybe I just watched the wrong video though.

Paige sucked so much she gave up halfway through so she was probably concentrating more on the game than commentary.

I was only a fan of the shit storms but man, Octobers are way less interesting without them

I do miss the storm. Haloween just isnt the same. I cant be bothered watching Pats streams, I do sometimes watch wha happen in the background if its a game I am interested in. Liam I cant stand though, especially all his behaviour after the split put me off.
