I've been a huge fan of The Best Friends since the beginning and I love podcasts and I love The Super Best Friendcast.

It's way more organized and coherent than I expected and I get the added homesick thrill of occasionally hearing Montreal/Quebec stuff.

I love these guys. Their playthrough of Beyond Two Souls has kept me from Gameflying it out of curiosity because there's no way me playing it can be as fun as hearing them yell about a baby coming out of a hobo lady all Attack on Titan style.
Two Souls is one of those games where watching an LP is effectively the same as pirating the game.

My favorite thing about The Best Friends is they LP a lot of games that I want to see LP'd and I know they won't be annoying or have an unwatchable LP like 98% of the ones on youtube.

The Slowbeef and Woolie podcast was great.

I really hope the person who sent the glitter did it with good intentions rather than actually trying to glitterbomb Matt since that's a common way to harass someone via mail.

Mailing glitter to people you hate has existed before the more famous practice of doing it to homophobes. If you mail somebody actual glitter it's almost impossible to remove from your carpet, furniture or even from your skin, it's horrible.

The problem with that, is that we constantly mention certain fighting games to play on Fisticuffs, but Woolie usually shoots them down if he has not played them a whole bunch, and doesn't have immediate access to a boss.

A fighting game you're all equally inexperienced with would be a great change of pace for the next Fisticuffs.

Matt I don't know how popular this idea will be so I'm just speaking for myself here.

I'd be hyped if you and the Best Friends would create a premium section of the site so for example we could get an extra podcast a week, extra videos (I actually don't have any ideas for premium content, the main thing I would want is 2 podcasts a week) for some monthly/annual fee.

Maybe you could just do this for the podcast since a lot of podcasts use this model, releasing a free show in addition to premium shows. I would definitely subscribe since I'm typically a tiny bit disappointed when the friendcast isn't at least 3 hours so I'd pay for more show in a heartbeat.

Right now the Best Friends definitely put out more videos than I can watch per week but just for me personally I have much more time to listen to a podcast than watching a video.

If it was up to me I would add just a premium layer onto the podcast but not the videos.

edit: I never miss Friday Night Fisticuffs though because that intro just gets me in the mood.

You realize maintaining a 'premium' kinda thing is actually a bit of work right?

The benefit for the producer is a reliable recurring payment each month/year; you don't get that by selling merch.

hoobajoo posted:

Because you're telling them how to do their job. It's a nice thought, let them figure out if they want to do it.

Content creators use things like surveys to determine what their audience wants or what their market will allow. The alternative is just to tell Matt in plain english what we're willing to pay for.

I just discovered these guys recently and have been going through their videos- any recommendations for the longer series videos on some favorites to start?

Both Dark Souls games pretty much do stomp Demon's at least.
Except in the department of atmosphere, storytelling, mood, art direction and level design. The overall creative vision of Demon's Souls is superior to either Dark Souls game even if Dark Souls 1 is very close and a good successor; it still doesn't have the same immersive world.

Who here is in the "longer is better" camp when it comes to the podcast? If every podcast was 5 hours long it still wouldn't be too much for me.

I get bandwidth is probably the biggest factor here but I hope that Matt & Woolie know that they don't need to curtail the length or constantly wonder if the show is going on too long and needs to be wrapped up.

They already are hittin' that 3 hour mark pretty constantly. I'm pretty sure they get awfully tired at looking at each other's faces/smells by that point
Of course, I definitely don't know if I could have a 4 hour long conversation even with my best friends but I sometimes feel like I detect a hint of (typically Woolie or Matt) trying to move the podcast along or wrap it up to its conclusion.

I could easily be wrong, I just think the podcast would be even better if everyone rambled endlessly and spun long winded anecdotes without feeling like they need to keep it concise. I'm confident my opinion will be unpopular though.

I'm kind of surprised they were even able to remaster the show, unless the cameras they shot the show with was HD they must've preserved the original cels, which is crazy considering the animation industry's habit of burning most of the pencilwork and cleaning out the celluloid for re-use.

Yeah I thought sure it was new art based solely on how good it looks. Dragonball Kai is still incredibly valuable for the recut alone though.

Is the emulator just stretching out the game from 4:3 to 16:9, or is that an actual FOV patch?

As someone who likes to play some PCSX myself I really don't know and I just noticed that it looks like 16:9 but it's not stretched.

How the hell?
