By far my favorite thing from these guys is their play through of Double Dragon Neon, it's like watching two guys transform into excited 10 year olds, their enthusiasm is really infectious.

Hoooooooollllly poo poo, I had just listened to their podcast and within 30 seconds they had me gasping with laughter when they were coming up with derogatory terms for fans of consoles through the generations. amazing.

This podcast has completely ruined the giant bombcast for me, because their format is similar but they inject it with so much passion, energy excitement and funny rear end dialogue, when I go back to listen to the bombast and how low key, monotone and subdued tone of the guys in it are most of the time i start falling asleep.

Man I loving love these guys, their just pure passion, genuine reactions and actual good no holds barred talking points is such a huge contrast with other sites I'm finding it real hard to enjoy more 'mature and down to earth' sites like Giantbomb anymore, even supposedly zany guys like the game grumps have lost their luster because I dont feel that they're super genuinely passionate, more like they're just playing everything for the sake of it and going through the motions each time.

I mean, we have just witnessed a man shedding a single tear over getting back the lost gameboy color of his childhood. they ARE videogames.

In other news, I really enjoyed their strider week, I was not prepared however for how loving amazing OSMAN looks like especially for a 16 bit game, it's as if you took the entire team of bayonetta, gave them pastel colors and transported them back to the SNES era and told them to go hog wild. Also the new strider looks loving awesome so I'll probably get that.

also their playthrough of 'I have no mouth' was great, I'm kinda bummed they didn't do a perfect run, and they kinda got lost and made some baaad choices here and there but overall I really enjoyed their college level psycho-analysis they'd do.

and Yakuza keeps bringing home the goods. Wood chipping a block of wood instead to remember moves instead of a goddamn camera. Fantastic.

Pat was on the retsupurae podcast, it's more a discussion of games than it is an interview, still pretty good and pat is slightly lower key.

Also, MATT/LIAM VS. WOOLIE/PAT separate timed progression Dark Souls 2 battle.


Really creative and entertaining way to make a Dark Souls 2 Video. seeing the contrast between how Woolie and Matt respond to their first experience with dark souls is really quite something.

I was a big fan of these guys up until a little over a year ago, when I remember Matt said something (in a tweet, I think) I found rather vile about Anita Sarkeesian which left a bad taste in my mouth, so I took a hiatus from their content.


I've been hearing about this here and there for a while now yet nobody points out the exact source or video or whatever it is they specifically said. people say it was a tweet, others say it was Matt and Woolie bashing her in one of their playthroughs, but I've never found the actual thing itself.

:stare: I think they'll need to rent a warehouse to store all the stuff they get from fans.

I hate to say this, but there is such a thing as too much love, every other mailbag vid, including giantbombs, would only occasionally get big packs of chips and some games and maybe a console at it's craziest, even game grumps at their most insane would recieve games and a few plushies here and there.

But TBFP have gotten an accumulated tens of thousands of dollars worth of real weapons (enough to arm an actual zaibatsu army), anime collections worth thousands, enough figures to fill a toys R us, and on top of that enough candy to make china's entire army lose their teeth, and there's no sign of it stopping and the gifts keep getting crazier and crazier, and these guys dont live in mansions so that they can keep piling this stuff, in fact it's gotten to the point that half of their video output is now mailbags.

it's amazing how deeply their audience loves them, and I love me a mailbag feature every month or so, but really if they shut down their mailbag tomorrow they'll be completely in the right until they move into an office or something that can sustain all that craziness, it's too much.

Is this some kind of goony "oh god something I liked turned out to be based on ANIME my life is over" weirdo reaction, or more because you decided to read the manga afterward and found out that Berserk is hosed up

It's because someone handed me a whole bunch of volumes for the manga and I got to find out found out how crazy awesome/hosed up it really was.

This is great, but i feel like it's playing things a little too straight and didnt have enough comedic hooks to really make me super excited, it's kinda missing that 'spark' Barkley had and the gang are acting and talking far too normally than they wouldve. if you're trying to make a game that parodies them, make them ultra doofuses, not straight faced heroes.

Hey matt, these other guys are total scrubs, I am the one true TBFP fan!

Also, that intro to skullgirlz is hype as gently caress. and I also want to thank you for introducing me to ShovelKnight, I didnt back it way back when, but I bought it and it's amazing, easily one of the better indie titles by far.

Matt, can I pick your brains about something? One of the big reasons why I enjoy TBFP much more than other online vid groups (in fact it's the only one I bother making time for) is the fact that you guys are super passionate, super funny, and you take time and care into the vids you make and do stuff that interests you and not force yourselves to shovel out stuff like other LP groups who have to keep pumping out the newest screaming+shouting vids with the newest releases. it's kind of why I stopped watching sites like (game grumps) it became more of just play the newest releases and talk over it rather than make good stuff.

but the thing is that the most notorious of those types of vids seems to rake in the views like crazy, it's poo poo, but for some strange reason it works, how do you guys keep to doing what you do without that pressure of (just shovel poo poo and get views) and do those guys have something you think you could learn from?

do you think it's more important as a youtube creator to keep to making stuff you're interested and what you're passionate about at the quality you want, or is it more important that you just be very frequent even if the quality suffers?
