For anyone that can't read Japanese: The red text across the MBMBAM text says "Zag" Also just finished watching the show with one of my friends, and we both loved the poo poo out of it. My two favorite episodes are definitely 2 and 4, Safety Town and Griffin's constant dabbing killed me!

Mikey Purp posted:I think some people are just aurally challenged because Justin and Travis really don't sound much alike at all. I think I had somewhat of a headstart since I was introduced to McElroys through Monster Factory, so I could already tell Justin and Griffin apart by the time I started listening to MBMBaM.

Kenny Logins posted:It would be cool if Merle got some wicked sick magic-arm and/or eye upgrades to help him just kick all kinds of rear end. Like putting the Phoenix Fire Gauntlet on the end of his arm and his eyepatch trades out for the Oculus, since they've been drained they could have more balanced powers now. Yeah I'm fully expecting something like this or Merle becomes the ultimate Pokemon Master as every god still in existence starts channeling their power through him and he just summons SHITLOADS of angels/demons/etc. to fight the Hunger

Yeah I feel like Griffin's coming at storytelling in TAZ as vaguely video game-y, by which I mean "sometimes there are cutscenes with plot stuff," and that seems perfectly fine to me, so eat it, people who get mad at podcasts!!!

DoombatINC posted:Munch Squad is probably my favorite bit they've ever had, and every time Justin starts rumbling that telltale riff under his breath I start grinning and bouncing in my chair I love munch squad and the fact that Justin does the little guitar riff thing, but it always irks me the tiniest bit that he's doing the I Wanna Rock riff wrong every time

Ojjeorago posted:The sad thing about the TAZ fandom being crazy racist is that it's starting to spread to other McElroy Cinematic Universe products. Someone on the Rose Buddies page wanted Griffin to stop saying boy because there was a black person. Yeah, it always feels like there's this group of people on the internet looking up the most esoteric, ancient, no-longer-used forms of racism throughout history who then use that knowledge to accuse almost anything of being racist, to the point where now people are accusing blue-skinned elf Taako as offensive to Jews, and Griffin of being racist because he says the word "boy" all the time. I think the shittiest thing it does is de-legitimize actual accusations of racism. It makes it hard enough to describe people or characters in any medium, especially for the McElroys who are trying really really hard not to offend anyone, and whose fans seem to live off of this stuff.

Kenny Logins posted:I finished it just now and while it's not fatal or necessarily going to persist into the "real" episodes, Griffin is having a hard time letting go of being "the host" and "the producer" and Clint comes off more like a hired writer/director. I don't really blame Griffin too much as he's probably anxious about audience retention. Haven't yet listened to it, but this does make sense since Griffin's been the host/producer of the podcast for 3 years, and even though Clint is now the GM, it's still Griffin's podcast, I'm assuming Clint isn't doing the editing or anything.

I don't think having two thirds of the party being jerks who don't care about anyone but themselves is a recipe for fun. Nadiya is Travis' character, the scientist who gets stretchy powers, Justin's character, Irene, is the HR person who transforms into Kardala. Oh wait, misread your post, nvm.

I had been under the impression that they already knew what season 2 was going to be, and all these short arcs were going to be short for sure.

Ariong posted:One more bit of speculation: since this system apparently requires each player to specify their character’s race and gender (or maybe just sex?) the characters of this world might have appearances that are more set in stone than characters from past arcs. Race kindof, but not gender, there's an appearance and you pick from "male, female, androgynous, transgressive," but it's similar to the DnD character appearance "options" on a character sheet in that they're just examples that help you come up with a character quickly, you're not bound to them.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:I'm surprised no one mentioned how super suspicious it was that Liam's digger gloves had both been recently cleaned AND were covered in dust. My guess is that he killed the guy, then cleaned the blood off the gloves, then put silver dust on the gloves to hide the fact they had just been cleaned. Pretty sure that was a major clue they didn't pick up on. Yeah, I was thinking this as well, but I was also starting to get suspicious of Connor (the Sheriff?) since I think he's said the least about himself, and it doesn't feel like the Banshee would lie about something like that

Waffleman_ posted:I mean, it was better than Amnesty in that it was a role playing game. Yeah, it did feel a lot less rail road-y, though if they go with Amnesty hopefully that's just because Griffin really needed to nail down a lot of plot. I also like how Dust, unlike Amnesty, doesn't do the "main characters know a secret that they have to keep from everyone else" thing, that both Amnesty AND Balance did. I think I liked the setting of Commitment the best, I really like superhero stories, though I wish Griffin's character was a little more interesting. I ended up liking Amnesty a lot more at the end, but it felt like it took a while to get there. Dust is also my favorite by far. The main characters are all great and the setting is cool as gently caress. I really like how different and non-combat-oriented it was, as well. Made it really interesting, even though I like a lot of the fights from Balance. Excited to see what they're announcing next week.

Asiina posted:This really is disappointing and I'll probably stop listening. Griffin has managed to get worse with the railroading over time rather than better, I really hate the setting (I also find the accents annoying), and other than Duck I didn't really like any of the characters, including the NPCs. I think the most frustrating part about Griffin's DMing style is that his family is completely fine with it because they all trust him to tell a cool story. It makes the podcast more of a radio play than a family playing an RPG together, but even a radio play would be better because Griffin wouldn't be narrating Justin/Travis/Clint's actions. I was fine with it in Balance because it felt like a video game, sometimes there were cutscenes and sometimes there was actual gameplay. But in Amnesty it was like 90% Griffin narrating stuff and 10% his family actually trying to play a game. I'm really hoping he reins it in once they start for real and he isn't trying to establish a huge backstory by keeping all the PCs apart because I really love the Gravity Falls-esque setting, but I wouldn't be surprised if this makes me drop TAZ.

Looking forward to more of Ned's scams, Duck and his sassy sword, and Aubrey and Dr. Harris Bonkers, PhD. I hope they dedicate an entire episode to the adventures of the monkeycheese rabbit, just to especially annoy the negative nerds in this thread. I mean, anyone who hates the rabbit that much probably wouldn't be listening, but I'm not gonna kinkshame
