All those plays on Todd's name are quality goofs, they made me laugh real good. I just found out about the McElroy empire recently after being introduced through car boys, and it's been a hell of a ride catching up with all of their Polygon video content before finding out about CGI and mbmbam. It's been a laugh filled few weeks.

I was afraid that our sweet boys were running out of new toys to play with. Oh how wrong I was. 2017 is off to a great start.

Roach Warehouse posted:Since we're talking about Pat, he's been doing a fair few streams for polygon lately that are pretty entertaining. He plays Human Fall Flat with Simone and tells a horrific story about the time a teacher made him rap in high school. That story about the Egypt rap made me physically uncomfortable. I had a few similar experiences in middle/high school. Funny as heck, though.

Oofa doofa. That was quite a ride. I'm really gonna miss this show, it's become a bright spot in my week and it introduced me to the McElroy brothers. There's something really unique about car boys that I can't really put into words, the blending of dumb car physics and emergent storytelling really crystalizes into something special. Can't imagine a better way to have ended it.

I know a Mexican dude who goes by Tako irl. Not an adventure zone fan, he just doesn't like his given name and likes tacos. That's my insight into this drama bomb.

Poque posted:I've been considering grabbing another McElroy joint and Sawbones seems like the best choice, got a good ep recommendation to start? I've been listening through it from the beginning and that's been good for me. First episode is on trepanation which is probably the king of "wtf were they thinking" medical procedures. Alternately, just pick an episode about something you're interested in and go from there

PostNouveau posted:Good Awful Squad. They win a zombie round, despite Russ getting his indoor sunscreen in his eye and being blinded for the last 5 minutes I love how Russ has fixated on the complaints about his inventory management and categorically ignored those criticising his tendency to do everything he can to be a mile away from anything interesting that happens in the stream

Just listened to the new mbmbam, and maybe it's just because they've only put out like one other episode in the last month or two but I think it's one of the funniest I've heard. Justin's intro, Griffin's a bee, the whole thing about a druid at a club only party, it was peak McElroy content to me.

Good Listener posted:It's a distant hope, but it'd be super cool if we get a new Monster Factory at some point. I'm positive they said they'd be doing them occasionally, I might be wrong. I know right now they're busy though and who knows if Justin and Griffin even play many new games these days....also if anything with fun create a character is out. They've definitely said a few times that monster factory will return on rare occasion. I don't know if you're aware but Pat and Brian's second season of Brand Slam is currently happening over at polygon and it's essentially Son of Monster Factory. The WWE face importer has enough horrifying quirks that I really think they can hang a series on it.

I don't listen to TAZ at all because the fanbase sucks and the earlier supposedly more funny and less up it's own rear end episodes are still a chore to get through so I guess I win at avoiding bad audiences. I don't listen to mbmbam live shows either. I'm pretty happy with these life decisions. Live your truth y'all.

Waffleman_ posted:Also, sometimes Travis just does not accept being shut down and it's the worst, like when he was doing What Do You Think You Would Do If. Anybody remember that one awful squad when Travis was the only McElroy and he would just not shut up about that one Aaron Sorkin show? Everyone else was like too embarrassed to do anything about it. Comedy poison

eke out posted:i like amnesty a lot, my main (minor) gripe about the system at this point is that the way the "hard move" concept plays out in mundane, low-pressure situations doesn't work for me. If a player investigates a room with nothing dangerous or bad in it, they're not supposed to roll for anything. The GM describes the room. Rolls are reserved for situations with stakes or interesting consequences for success or failure. I haven't been listening to taz though so I don't know how well griffin is adapting to that from the d&d philosophy of roll for everything.

immolationsex posted:I listened to the first two seasons of TAZ. The quality really took a nosedive in the second season, which I attribute to Griffin (and the rest too, I suppose) suddenly taking the whole thing way too seriously. I preferred the unpredictable, often tongue-in-cheek tone of the first season. Yeah assuming by season you mean the story arcs then taz declines quicky and never recovers, it's not really worth continuing

Yeah the live shows are really tough to listen to, I don't usually bother. I'm honestly starting to get really fed up with how much time and energy they sink into touring live shows and TAZ instead of the stuff I like but that's my problem

Look it's obvious Griffin's a bad dm but most people seem to like the story he's written and that seems to be what he's aiming for. It's a radio play.
