So Woolie is not impressed by Star Wars: The Old Republic, as you can imagine.

Yeah, I imagine not. What, did V give him a rough summary?

They uploaded a vod of their podcast of SWTOR, and Woolie was given the important bits of that game and the novels leading up to it.

New LP. It's the original Halo. And Woolie's playing with Little V, which means he's probably going to be a regular part of the channel going forward.

Thought this should probably go here. Woolie directly addresses the possibility of a Super Best Friends reunion during the Paper Mario stream.

In short: Not gonna happen.

Yeah, it's kinda disrespectful to them to keep going on about it.

Would anyone care to enlighten a Johnny-Come-Lately about what happened? I only tangentially knew of Woolie, but I was never in the loop about anything else regarding the "Super Best Friends".

From what I can tell there were a lot of personality conflicts. Matt and Pat didn't really get along at all, mostly, and wanted to do different things.

theLibrarian Since: Jul, 2009
#3710: Jul 13th 2020 at 4:25:33 PM

Yeah, basically Matt started wanting to do more things and the channel put strain on their relationship until they finally just split up.

There's a LOT of unprovable rumour and theories floating around about what elements actually ended up causing the Zaibatsu to go their different ways - with no way to verify any of it unless any of them decide to air their dirty laundry in public, which I don't see happenning any time soon.

The strongest theory I think has to do with the Matt/Liam friendship being stronger than the Pat/Matt friendship - alongside general burnout. When Liam left at the end of 2016, the reason given was health concerns around his anxiety but later info suggests that somehow not getting along with Pat was part of that. Matt and Liam bonded very closely very quickly when they met and Pat potentially driving Liam off the channel could have started a rift with Matt. Alongside that was Matt not wanting to do LP and Podcast stuff anymore - or at least as much. He is visibly checked out in many of the later episodes of the podcast, and he had also been spending more and more time on his scripted content (like Wha Happun?) and producing his own game. Pat may have been abrasively critical of that game as well in his own blunt way, which probably wouldn't have helped their relationship very much - and that breakdown was one of the main causes listed in the final video. Either way, while they're certainly sad the Zaibatsu had to come to an end, I think it's pretty clear that they do prefer having moved on to their individual work and their own personalised creative patterns, and I think they were all feeling the squeeze of an almost decade long routine at that point too - the other main point listed in their final video was that they had all decided to stop doing the channel once it wasn't fun - burnout AND relationship breakdown probably both played a part.

I mean, we know for a fact that Matt and Pat didn't get along very well and I think we know that Pat was pretty critical of Matt's game, which given the way he generally acts and the already strained relationship between the two probably soured things even more.

It just seems like ultimately it was a case of conflicting personalities and priorities. It seems like they all made peace with the splitting of the group and are happier doing their own thing. I can't lie and pretend I miss TBFP because I actually got into their content long after they split with Matt's What Happun and Paige and Pat streaming Dark Souls.

Plus Woolie and Pat are still together pretty often. They've done multiple L Ps together.

[up]They've only made two, both were relatively soon after the Zaibatsu's dissolution (DMC5 and RE2) and were ones the fans had been looking forwards to for a while, from what they've said I doubt we can expect more in the future. Pat should have been the logical choice for KOTOR 2 given he was the co-pilot for the original, but they've made it clear that that won't work for them anymore. The podcast is realistically the sum of their collaboration at the moment.

That's true. I'm glad they're still talking to each other at least.

Little V is a pretty good alternative to Pat though.

Matt put out a video talking about Deadly Premonition 2. He says he wanted his first playthrough to be "private" so he wouldn't have to worry about placating viewers during his first time through. I don't know if he intends to do a playthrough for his channel or not. At the time of this video he has not yet finished the game. Matt says DP2 definitely has the same charm as the first game, though apparently there are some terrible load times in the game. However there seem to be patches planned, so hopefully they will fix the technical issues.

Both Woolie and Pat are streaming Ghost of Tsushima. Awesome.

WillKeaton from Alberta, Canada Since: Jun, 2010
#3721: Jul 19th 2020 at 7:49:21 PM

I've been looking forward to Ghost of Tsushima since it was announced at that one E3. I love the idea of being thrown into a specific time in history and being able to play in it. I was big into the Assassin's Creed games, especially the first two. Though, the longer they went on the more convoluted the series plot got and I kind of dropped off. I'm glad Ghost of Tsushima is receiving positive press. That said, I will not be following Woolie and co. as I intend to play through this by myself.

Same here. Woolie's Halo playthroughs are my primary video from him right now. I like seeing him react to all the stuff, especially when they first encountered the Gravemind.

I have no where else to talk about this so I need to talk about this.

I'm not going to defend the act of anime pirating, but it's extremely short-sighted and privileged for a bunch of mostly white dub actors to tell their non-american anime fans that anime isn't "for them" just because there isn't a legal way for them to support the platform. Pat's comparison to the WWE streaming app service is spot on.

Shit like Crunchyroll being free with ads is the compromise for that. If you’re not willing to sit through 90 seconds of ads and prefer a virus-laden pirate site for your anime, you need to re-evaluate your priorities.

Every abridged and parody series says “Please support the official release” for a reason.
