Didn't what'shisface LordKat just straight up start masturbating once during a stream, forgetting he was streaming? You'd think if you make your living filming yourself playing videogames in front of a live audience, you'd be more careful about what you're doing and what tabs you have open at the time.

There was one hilarious scenario where I *think* a big name WoW player left his stream on by accident and streamed himself banging his girlfriend. Dude didn't last 5 seconds either.

Streaming was weird back in the day. So many people making hilarious mistakes.

It's only a matter of time before people start doing things like this in parody - I.E. streaming stuff, the person starts with a folder labeled "porn" open, with its contents being 300 images of goats (Not pornographic images, mind you: just regular pictures of goats). In fact, I think I did something like that when we were trying to solve the last few notpron puzzles, having stupid poo poo open in tabs and seeing if anyone would respond. Meh. 'Twas stupid.

But in all seriousness, how do you gently caress up leaving a camera on? Nearly every modern webcam has some sort of light that tells you if something is being recorded. Why would you masturbate when you can clearly see that light is on unless you like that sort of thing i guess

Let me tell you a story about raocow.

Once long ago, I ran a multi-round Neo Geo contest - you picked the game, people voted on which LP they liked best, etc. raocow chose
raocow's stuff isn't really for me (but it's definitely on the watchable spectrum), but that was really impressive. I told him to stay in the contest - I think he lost the next round, though I don't recall.

Great guy.

I watch his videos every morning with my breakfast. It can be a bit same-y sometimes, but he plays games and romhacks no one else does and he's not bad at them, and he's really good at editing. Totally my thing.

Another part of that DSPositive video showed him in one of the Souls games; I think Demon's Souls. He apparently tried level grinding and the game punished him with a PvP boss that was also level 90. That went over pretty well.

As for being clueless in spite of how many games he plays, the point that I thought that to myself was when I saw that he doesn't immediately try every button on his controller to see what does what. No matter what the game, he'll only ever press what buttons the game tells him to, he'll only ever press them when he's told, and if he's ever required to do something with any other buttons…well, you know how it goes.

steinrokkan posted:

I'd like to recommend the ongoing Two Best Friends LP of I Have No Mouth. I've tried watching other takes on this game in the past, but generally the presenters were more focused on nitpicking arbitrary aspects instead of focusing on the story and symbolism, aka its main draw.

So it's a surprise that these guys, notorious for being loud and obnoxious, are able to play through it in a pretty level headed manner, and aren't afraid to base their commentary mostly on analysis of the plot and characters.

(I get the feeling most other LPers are uncomfortable with the subject matter and feel obligated to make jokes even when there's little potential for them, and as a consequence their commentary gets superficial and completely removed from the actual content of the game - yes, I'm talking about Retsupurae, amongst others).

Been watching this one with a friend. I think a big part of the depth of the commentary is that he's playing with Woolie, not Matt. No offense to Matt but if you're going to bust out a game that's more on the intellectual side Woolie is the guy to bring along; he's way smarter than Matt, so he doesn't need his hand held through the thinky stuff. Apparently Pat has a degree in psychology, or at least studied it, and that's going some way towards making the LP golden-brown and delicious.

That said I think 2BFP is notorious for being loud and obnoxious the way Severus Snape got friendzoned by Harry Potter's mother. On a semantic level you could make an argument that it's true, but it's also an incomplete picture* and if you base your argument on it a lot of people who are into this enough to really think about it critically are going to get mad because you missed the point so hard.

*For the record: Matt and Pat are actually quite knowledgeable about the games they play, they just have loud obnoxious voices to say it with. And Snape was part of a hate group that wanted people like Lily dead, and he only associated with her because he wanted to play hide the salami, and only repented because his association with said hate group got her killed.

He doesn't press what he's told though, this loving dark souls video is a perfect example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dHz4nYCDdM This is how you don't play dark souls, obviously an amalgamation of multiple videos, but he doesn't even work out how to LOCK ON until the 6 or 7 video? And that poo poo is told to you right at the start. Its the same in the MGS3 LP, he can't work out how to put on a silencer even though every weapon has a huge PRESS A TO ATTACH SILENCER prompt that he goes past 10 times.

Now he's complaining that in dark souls you have to save? He just clearly doesn't care, he just plays games for the sake of playing games. There is no joy or reason in it at all.

The thumbnail was a photo of her breasts. That's not really the kind of thing someone would especially publish for a joke is it? Pandalee, his girlfriend, is arguably worse than Phil in all the ways that Phil is terrible.

This is true. There's a 10 minute or so clip of a phantom invader breaking all of his gear and then I think making him kill a merchant. The invader in that clip was a visitor of /vg/'s Dark Souls general.

DSP is actually quite accomplished at fighting games in that he's not as bad at them as he is at everything else, he's largely complacent with his gameplay and as we all know, all too happy to blame his mistakes on "lag" or "cheap online tactics". At one point in time, /vg/'s Fighting Game General members found out he was streaming Street Fighter 4 and /vg/ decided that they would get in on that and beat him a bunch to make him quit for the night. DSP ended up beating practically all of them several times.

I wonder how much that contributes to his attitude about other games. Being well above average in fighting games is pretty hard, even if you're not in the highest top tier of players. Maybe he assumes he'll be automatically skilled at all the other "easier" games genres too, and then trips over the fact that all new things have a learning curve of some sort.

I don't think it does, really. I think he sucks at other games because he's just pretty dumb and wants his hand holding through everything, as though he shouldn't have to think. The complacency in fighting games is at least partly because he thinks he's better than other people at them by virtue of placing 4th in a tournament played on a poo poo version of Super Turbo.

I don't think I'd say he's well above average at fighting games either, or if he is, he fights at his opponents level and not his own which makes that meaningless. In the interest of total fairness, I have heard it said that his Rufus in SF4 is legitimately high level.

They play up the agitation a lot on Machinima because it goes over with the whole "10-12 minutes to show off a game in its best/worst light" better. When they're playing fuller LPs or so, they can take a step back and chill more often. That said, Matt and Pat do tend to love to antagonise each other up for shits because that's what best friends do.

Woolie however I enjoy having because he actually tries to cool them down and bring up more interesting points. Matt just lazes about trying to make terrible jokes that you laugh at anyway for how terrible they are. Woolie goes a little higher and hits for some bizarre references or points of debate. Pat just balances out the two of them while being a ball of rage (with an adorably infectious laugh for some).

Pat studied psychology yes, as well as first aid which means that his career's leaning towards psychiatric health which would explain his outrage for the asylum part in Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy. Pat does figure things out quicker than Matt, but Matt in counterpoint seems to have a lot more pop culture knowledge, especially on comic books and the weird poo poo he can pull out.

The Punisher video was ungodly funny. And yeah sometimes they do miss the point because the two of them keep on arguing with each other and talking over each other. Woolie tends to stop that poo poo happening when he's around, kind of like a big brother to them to help them refocus their stance on something.

I'm really enjoying the I Have No Mouth let's play purely because Woolie is guiding him right, but without spoiling anything unless Pat asks for the sake of not wasting everybody's time. I wouldn't say Matt or Pat is smarter than the other, but Pat does seem to figure things out quicker.

Edit: \/ I think it's safe to say that he's just a loving idiot, and he thinks that videogames are something to monetise from, instead of something to actually enjoy.

Watch out!

Here comes the third tactic.
Lipstick Apathy
I find that hard to believe that DSP is good at any genre, because all the fighting game footage I've seen from him is the same poo poo. He complains when he's caught in a combo and acts like there's nothing he can do (like, uh, I dunno loving block???). The only difference is he can call the other player a cheating loser retard instead of like Kojima or whatever. You'd think he'd know how to play video games if he could do fighting game inputs marginally well, but he always screws up the easiest most basic stuff. Like, he couldn't figure out R1/2 + forward LS in Dark Souls. That is not hard at all. Same deal in REVENGEANCE where he couldn't do the parry with a similar input. Although I guess he just sort of drops the control whenever he's getting hit, because he never even pretends there's anything he can do to recover. Maybe he's roleplaying as Raiden when he's stunned by not doing anything. I heard he played Bayonetta as well, and that probably went about as well. Those last two games draw heavily from fighting games, so it's bizarre that he'd struggle more with those than beginners and people who don't play video games as a living.

Oh dear god, that playthrough brought out some of the worst moments. In the tutotrial level, he somehow ignores EVERY prompt to jump over an open area not fenced over for SEVEN minutes, and forgot how to walk on walls at moonlit areas, despite repeating this fact to himself when the game introduced it to him in the previous section.

And not only does the game show you an angel picking up and dragging away your friend, it leaves the camera centred on exactly where you need to go AND gives you a button prompt to tell you how to double jump through the fence and onto the ground below when you approach.

This is kind of a long drama-filled story that gets into his relationship with SA in general. I talked a little about it in Retsutalk 2. I'd rather not dredge up the whole story because it does involve things outside LP and I don't want to put words in peoples' mouths or say the wrong thing.

The long/short of it is Khad was in a unique position because he's friendly with Lowtax, a front page writer, and a mod of MMO HMO... I think sometimes he thought of himself as a little untouchable and took the forums way seriously. I hit him for a day once, and I think he saw that as sort of a betrayal: We had worked together on Webcam Ward, played games together - we were sorta friendly. And it sucks to probate/ban people that you like but he took it way hard, and I guess decided to sort of fight back.

One of the Games mods gassed one of his threads - I think he blamed me for that (though I don't disagree with the decision at all, I'm just not the one who pulled the trigger) and one thing led to another, and one of the admins said, "gently caress it, done with Khad."

Basically, this is kind of a thing that had gone on for years, and came to a head with LP, more or less.

For anyone looking at NorthernLion's videos I would recommend checking out his videos of Crusader Kings II. He is playing with a couple of other people and it does a good job showing why I enjoy his videos and streams. He isn't very good at CKII but he's passable and he knows it. He take advice from the other guys readily along with taking everything just seriously enough to keep trying to learn but will also end up doing dumb poo poo and trying to troll people. Even if his videos put you off I would recommend the live streams because he makes a very good host for a live show.

Well, to bad that he often stops in the video "Oh that is how you do it", obviously reading the twitch chat and being assisted by his fans.

It was MGS1. The "This is how you don't play" for that run had a counter whenever the chat helps out with that very tweet popping up every time. It also highlights one of the few instances where DSP admits he hosed up on a spot.

Thanks, I'd definitely like to know how it's going - I'm all about "blind LPs suck without a guide" but I was trying to see if maybe you could make it work with editing.

What's odd about that too, is that he does openly admit to getting help for Dark Souls - he gave up on it until he had people on Twitch telling him what to do. He had some video somewhere that was like "I gave it the old college try, but I wasn't feeling it" and "gently caress people who are like 'play it for real,' I don't have time for that."

There was definitely a count on screen for when he did take advice. Like when he couldn't find the keycard that fell because you need to use the mine detector. I remember this because it revealed that he has no clue how a mine detector works, thinking it somehow detects the explosive material in a mine rather than the metal it is made of. I'm pretty sure the Key card itself had Phil making fun of Kojima for like an hour because Phil does not understand that the key card and all the game mechanics surrounding it are scientifically sound.

Also, I know someone mentioned he grinded up to Soul Level 90 in Demon's Souls, but, he supposedly off screened the thing by killing skeletons in a time period that the person who made This is how you DON'T play Demon's Souls basically calculated saying it would take a few days, not a few hours. So, he most likely abused a glitch.

Another part of that DSPositive video showed him in one of the Souls games; I think Demon's Souls. He apparently tried level grinding and the game punished him with a PvP boss that was also level 90. That went over pretty well.

before I go searching for this, anyone have a link? I want to see how badly he gets owned by a pvp old monk :allears:

There was definitely a count on screen for when he did take advice. Like when he couldn't find the keycard that fell because you need to use the mine detector.

I basically know nothing about Dark Souls (I just killed the Capra Demon), but don't skeletons give relatively poo poo souls for the fight? Hell, even I figured out if you wanted, you can just run up to that dragon in Undead Burg, make him kill the people on the bridge, and go to the bonfire right downstairs. You could loop that for an easy 555 souls in like, a minute each time.

He's talking about Demon's Souls, not Dark. The skeletons he's referring to actually do give quite a number of souls, but still small enough that you would have to grind for quite a while to get to the level that DSP did.

As for Dark Souls, the graveyard skeletons to give pretty terrible souls. The Drake bridge isn't that great either, fyi.

also you mean souls, not hp

You get used to it. I don't
even see the code. All I see
is Ipecac, Scapular, Polyphemus...


There's a pathetically easy way to grind souls in Dark Souls (the dudes in the forest behind the Covenant of Artorias door, you can abuse their AI in one specific spot) but there's no way in hell DSP would ever figure it out on his own.

edit: oh we're not talking about Dark Souls I can't read either!
