Slowbeef and Diabetus just did a play through of A Way Out and it should be on his youtube channel, and it’s up there with their best content.

The Retsupurae videos may not have aged well, but some of them just stick in my head. "My answer will be less than ten minutes because that is the Youtube limit" still makes me laugh, which also shows how old they are.

Kickstarter Nonstarters was my favorite thing they ever did. The poo poo some people would try to get crowdfunded...  Also, I love how this thread has become a Slowbeef appreciation thread now.

yea honestly while there were some things probably didn't age well most of retsupurae's stuff was pretty good about focusing on 'this sucks' rather than just 'you suck', I can get why they'd wanna turn to more normal LP stuff, though, if only to avoid lovely fans taking 'haha this video loving sucks' as an excuse to be dicks to randos.

It's pretty funny they kept the name of the dev who used his likeness and name for the first game and then made him a lame idiot in the sequel.

Nuns with Guns posted:Seriously, I've seen similar inane freakouts over the idea of paid Dungeon Mastering. Like if you provide entertainment, can provide better quality entertainment if you have the capital to justify focusing on it more, and people are happy to give you money then why should anyone care? I'll cop to having this reaction to paid GMing when I first heard about it, then I looked on the LFG for Roll20 and saw a bunch of listings that are like "we already know the story we want and made all our characters and just need a DM to do all the narration, also you have to be an experienced DM with a good radio voice and do character voices and not deviate from the story we want at all and..." And like yeah dude old charge for that too.

There are a few gems from back when they were riffing on LPers themselves, but it’s pretty dated. Now their riffs on actual game long plays (Last Alert, Ambition, Darkseed, Kings Quest, Hopkins FBI, Deep Freeze, Metroid Other M, Cobra Space Adventure are the highlights IMO) hold up pretty drat good even now because the games are silly as gently caress on top of them being funny in making fun of the game

If you've never seen it you can probably leave it, theres definitely funny stuff but sometimes it feels a little nasty and kind of sours the whole thing. Bad webcomics blog type energy. That said, theres something wonderous about someone poorly playing emulated Mario64 while in the background you hear his computer shrieking in effort to get 20fps out if it

There's also their amazing riffs on BillyMC's videos who they genuinely love. It's a shame that Chip deleted his rps from his channel because they were good examples of how to rp without attacking the lper. They mostly used the video footage as an excuse to tell jokes. Especially the Wolverine one. "I'm the best at what I do, and what I do is slice off my own dick."

Retsupurae is a bit depressing in that it seemed to be really popular when it was mean and cheap, then got better and better while losing viewers, until it was genuinely great...and then ended/went on hiatus. Mystery of the Druids is freaking magical. Used to watch it with my GF and every time we got stuck in another game one of us would suggest using a broken scissors. Cobra is also great, but really long. Great to have playing in the background while painting or doing other stuff, though.

I remember them doing Ripper, but honestly much prefer the Spoony LP of that The Retusfrashes were great because so many bad Flash Games It was interesting watching the Kings Quest longplays at the same time Paw Dugan was doing LPs of those games which were much nicer to them lol achillesforever6 fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Oct 16, 2020 |

My first ever exposure to Druids was Mandalore and Shammy streaming it, so when I found out that retsupurae also did it I was beyond disheartened that in whatever version they were watching, Lowry had been patched to actually sit properly in his chair instead of float above it like a vengeful god.

WeedlordGoku69 posted:...er, if you didn't have a capture card, FRAPS was the good option until OBS came along Yeah but in retrospect that’s kind of a silly thing to create a video making fun of someone for. Especially compared to some of the seriously bizzarre stuff they would find sometimes. Like the person whose camcorder randomly started zooming in right in the middle of their video, so the latter half was a close-up on like 8 pixels of their TV, and not only did they upload it like that, they didn’t even mention it! Those are the ones I remember fondly. Not so much the ones that were like, “Oh, the video quality is bad and she’s pronouncing ‘requiem’ wrong, isn’t that hilarious?”
