This thread gets weird sometimes with other Maxfun stuff, yeah you are not going to like everything. I don't like everything on Earwolf or everything on a TV channel. That doesn't mean the thing I like is automatically the only good thing their.


If the ads are at all reflective in any way of the the quality of the rest of the shows then that it 100% the case.

I can't really get on board with the idea that comedy, unlike every other art form ever, is too sacred and delicate to ever analyze or examine.

It's just not funny to do so.

Just like how horror isn't horrific when analysed, drama isn't dramatic when analysed and tragedy isn't tragic when analysed.

I think that destroying the relics and freeing up aspects of whatever divine being was used to make them is secretly the key to stopping the Hunger or whatever. The Director definitely isn't evil and I don't think that she'd secretly just be dumping them into a bag of holding. Maybe the Tres Horny Boys weren't Red Robes but were involved with them and had their memories altered so they could enter the Bureau and destroy the relics without exposing Red Robes.

This may be a minority opinion but I feel like they really didn't probe the limits of what's possible in Spore. I distinctly remember it being possible to do things like attach legs to other legs and hold down a key combination to make asymmetrical creatures.

Yeah, you could hold A to make a part asymmetrical. Kinda a shame that they missed that but gently caress it, Spore's busted and unstable anyway

I'm so glad this thread exists. I only got exposed to McElroys & friends rather recently due to their various video game antics, but I've been wanting to get into TAZ and MBMBaM for a while. But, like it tends to happen with established podcasts, the sheer volume of what they have so far is pretty intimidating! should I just pick it up from the start, or would it be safe to jump in at any point?

Anyway I did some Car Boys fanart.



Hope right into MBMBAM but start TAZ from the beginning. MBMBAM has more topical humor and episodes aren't really connected while TAZ is a continuous narrative.

Those ads really are cloying, made worse by how poorly they're mixed. They don't seem genuine in the slightest - The Greatest Generation has the goddamn PICARD SONG in its ad and comes across more sincere and interesting.

MaxFun's style guide for ads must be designed to make them as lovely as possible. I only just realized which ad was for Judge John Hodgeman because I usually reflexively skip it.

Penny Arcade is the worst and I really wish some alternative to PAX would show up and become something major because it's just repellent in so many different ways

remember when, after lots of criticism on how unwelcome PAX was getting to anyone who wasn't a straight white dude, they decided that the thing to do was to sequester all minority devs into a 'Diversity Lounge' where all those Diverse people were free to Be Diverse separate from the rest of the convention

And then it was filled with the white guy entourage of the worse one.

I started from episode one of the Adventure zone. I'm guessing the show picks up once the gang figures out the rules? Or at least agrees on a house rule set and sticks to it? Because a lot of the fun this show can be is getting lost in die rolls and explaining the rules.

Yeah, rules, dice and descision making get way faster as they get used to the rules.

Yeah, Garfield Heights is nice but Gridmap (small) and Extreme Testing Ground are so much more interesting. I really want them bring the cannon over to some of the more abstract / outlandish parts of the other maps. Or just bring back the planes because those things are goddamn hilarious without fail.

Even when it's not incredible, the show is still so much fun. It makes me laugh more than most 'real' television shows which is pretty amazing for a show that's just two dudes with a bad video game and some mics.

It's really too bad that flying vehicles broke at some point. Would've loved to see Iron Guy flying into things

Yeah, post more in this good good boys thread to complain about comics instead of going out and helping people, great use of your effort and time and definitely not stupid. I'm sure everyone appreciates your brave posts telling people that comic books should be white because otherwise white people get mad.
