Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.
Aww, that loving sucks. I never payed attention to any of the behind the scenes drama and stuff but this kinda doesn’t surprise me. They have been doing this for nine years for the most part and eventually this kinda stuff takes a toll.

Yeah, one of the bigger bummers is hearing them outright say Matt and Pat aren't friends anymore.

Not gonna stop people from speculating about everything behind the scenes. Won't lie I'm finding myself wondering what exactly happened. I mean, this doesn't feel like the most surprising outcome, but I figured Matt and Pat still had some rapport; the Star Trek LP was real fun and I'm getting bummed out as I write this out thinking about how we won't get more.

This is a real bummer, while I kinda like their side content, none of it really fills the hole of lazy-watch material that the LPs do. On the upshot, I've had less time to keep up LPs lately and I guess that will no longer be a problem.

Glad there's gonna be Woolie and Pat podcast going forward - guess we got our wish of Chewie and Fuckface.

gently caress, it's kinda wild to think I feels like just a few years ago I checked it out a whim as a result of Pat/Woolie Being on Slowbeef's podcast.

While Matt was definitely my least favourite(Due to him just corpsing hard when he decides he doesn't like a game), this really sucks hard. Can't say I didn't see it coming though, more surprised it took this long after liam left.

I got the video in my notifications and when I saw "Super Best Friends (Final)" I thought "Hah, did Billy forget the game title or something?" but then I started watching the video and thought it was a joke throughout and was waiting for the punchline.

Exactly me. I've been following this channel ever since the Downpour LP. Poor Matt, he looked really sad about it. :smith:

Matt's been checking out on the lp's for a while lately, but his solo content has been great. You can tell where his energies have been going.

Honestly, this may be the best for everyone. Doing lp's for nearly nine years can be a bit draining creatively.

Gonna be honest, I'd kinda stopped watching because of Pat's bullshit and the KH being so bad that I ended up just buying the game myself but does kinda suck to see this happen. Thanks to them for getting me into fighting games after about 10 years of avoiding them. I'm really gonna miss fisticuffs.

So this kinda doubles down that Pat is as bad in real life as he puts on.

The only LP i've been watching recently is Cthulu, and it's pretty decent. I know from secondhand exposure that the Kingdom Hearts one is as much of a mess as expected, and besides the only one of them who would be into it already played the whole series on his own channel.

To be honest, the only thing I'll really miss is the Shitstorm. It was always my favorite part of October every year.

drat, I've disliked Paige for a while, but only had a bit of bleedover on Pat. But with all this stuff coming out I guess he's about as bad. I still kinda liked Pat in all the Best Friends content because he felt removed from her.

I definitely can't watch his solo stuff because most of it involves her and I have no time for nazi apologists.

I'd highly recommend Liam, yeah. Maybe it's just because he and I have similar taste but I really enjoy pretty much all of his streams. Definitely moreso than any of the rest of their solo content.

I think matt's work because stuff like what happun and the like are scripted and don't need someone to bounce off of. They're shorter ten minute videos.

Pat's streams are something I won't check out because I hate solo let's plays

Pat reminds me a lot of this lovely friend I had who was a huge rear end in a top hat but he was kind of fun to be around. The more you are around those people though the more you begin to realize how much your level of tolerance for other people's shittiness doesn't grow and you just want to stop being friends with them. I feel like Pat is a similar kind of person to that friend, but Pat is slightly less lovely. It also reminds me of how other people would think that friend is funny when they see him in passing, but personally dealing with them is a drain and I feel like both Liam and Matt felt that.

Sorry to armchair psychoanalyze, but I just thought that this was all familiar to me with the archived stuff people are bringing up.

Pat's streams are loving great. The only thing I don't like about them is how it sometimes takes like 40 minutes to get to the actual loving game.

Also gently caress Liam for being so petty. I know he's been detached for awhile but for everybody else this came out of loving nowhere.

the podcast has legit helped me through some seriously tough work nights since they're long and genuinely funny. I hope Castle Superbeastcast continues that legacy, I'm just barely getting through the work week's hours with what podcasts I do have, it'd suck to completely lose one of my favorites(and one of the longest) ones every week.

Andrast posted:

yeah I can deal with pat's streams/archives because it's not just pat(when paige isn't there), it's pat with the chat constantly clowning on him.

From what I understand she's retweeted/follows and has been on the show of people who have said some bad poo poo, and when called on it, got very defensive and kinda just always passes it off as "I can't vet everyone I follow."

Not the thing I expected to wake up to. I’m really bummed out. Matt was probably my favorite and to hear Woolie day Matt and Pat aren’t friends anymore just stung like hell... I remember how I got into this channel because my friend said to watch the Predator LP. I got hooked immediately. I will probably still watch Matt’s stuff cuz I do enjoy when he did the bug reports and him being a former QA Tester was like hey someone knows the bullshit and it made me happy.... sigh what way for 2018 to go.
