Yeah Machinabridged and what's left of DBZA will be the last in abridging.

As for the future, well they dropped the first episode of their "Unabridged" project on Patreon, which sounded like TFS and The Office mixed, Taka's AWF thing, and etc.

Right. I keep forgetting this is all Evolution's fault.

Probably because trying to forget Dragonball Evolution is a logical step to take.

Of course, Toriyama might have also considered seriously committing to a different hero besides Goku. He didn't follow through with Gohan due to the latter's issues, but maybe if he was going to start the series again, he could have actually tried.

Then again, I think that Goku just fits his style and the kind of hero he wants to write, and Gohan just didn't.

Which is a damn shame, because Gohan and Videl in high school were amazing together.

Also, can't say I'm particularly excited for any live-action stuff from TFS. Dunno why, but it just doesn't interest me that much. I do hope they do some more dubbing, though. Did they ever get hired for anything official other than that one time?

I'm watching the new Kai, and is Cell humming Megalovania as he creates the Cell Games arena?

Unabridged seems fun. Zito continues to be fantastic. I'm just worried that they'll lose their draw once the abridging is done.

If anything I watch them more for their gaming content than DBZA nowadays, so I'll still be watching them.

I watch them mainly for the wacky abridged stuff and their film reviews.

Also Lani in general, who has one of those voices and personalities where I could listen to him read a f*cking dictionary and be entertained.

I'll probably drop off once their abridgeds are done. The gaming streams don't hold my interest.

Ditto.

I'll at least give a chance to their original content, though.

I like watching Stream Four Star and even I plan on unsubscribing to that channel once DBZA Abridge ends. I don't care about Their FF 7 show since it underwhelmed me for 2 seasons now and I don't plan to make it a third.

Never been big on their gaming content. I tend to really get short with LP's where said Lpers are fucking around, spending more time making dumb jokes than playing, or just playing so badly it seems like it's deliberate...and they did all of that while playing Dragon Ball Xenoverse.

It really pissed me off: I don't care about Demon God Dumpling! Play the fucking game! PLAY THE FUCKING GAME!!!!

But that's really more my issues with LP's that don't know when to shut up than anything else really.

Honestly I think those where my problems with their L Ps as well, their commentary is gold when i'm actually listening but they tend to play badly and blame the game instead of admitting it and it gets exhausting

I mostly watched their pokemon streams (and some XV but problems already outlined). Nuzlockes always start tense and interesting, plus they were doing new Gen with new stuff at the time... But the tension wears off with grind. Deaths turn from something that is a constant threat to something that comes out of nowhere by randomness and that kills all emotional investment.

[up] That.

Although I do like using their videos as background noise. Same with Babish.

I'm only interested in DBZA itself, so I'll drop out once they're done with that.

I still hope to see Attack on Titan abridged in 20 years or so.

I like their gaming content, especially their newer episodes of TFS At The Table, where they've gotten into playing card and board games. There's something fantastic about watching funny personalities bouncing off of each other while playing a game so simple that you only need to be half-paying attention to the video to understand what's going on.

Reminds me of Board AF on the Smosh Games channel, which is the only thing I watch there. It's also why vs games of Monopoly and UNO, among other games like them, have gotten so popular on the bigger gaming channels.

Yeah, watching them just amble around in Xenoverse 2, get pummeled and then blame the game for them getting their asses handed to them can get exhausting.

Let alone their asinine "we can do these super difficult missions at low levels with OUR skill level!" And then immediately whining about difficulty spikes when they are not good at the game.

In fairness the Xenoverse gameplay does suck rats ass.

Just because it sucks it doesn't mean they can blame it ALL in the game
