The Super Best Friends Super Best Griefing Thread - Matt's a cuck, Liam is a bitch, Pat's a loony and Woolie's Way is now trademarked

It may have been me having just finished Signalis, and we're like 2 weeks away from October, but thinking back on Shitstorm... most of the episodes weren't that great honestly?

If it was something like a small indie game, they'd do a longer episode from start to finish, but alot of the horror games that take their time to build atmosphere and tension would sometimes got shorter episodes that would end as soon as Matt and Pat found an enemy and either started screaming or died. Either that or they got bored and the episode just ended. I was starting my 2nd playthrough of Signalis and thinking:
"Man, if Shitstorm was still a thing, it would've taken them like a full episode just to get to the first enemy"

Some of them were really good, and I honestly enjoyed most of them as they were coming out, but there always was that little bit of disapoitment that they would stop playing the second the first enemy or scare showed up. They did remedy this in Shitstorm VI but went back to the old format in VII

Oh man. As someone who just recently played through the first three Ace Attorney games for the first time, I cannot imagine watching Woolie play through them. He's one hundred percent going to over-think everything and then get upset when his conclusion is way off.

I can't believe he has to have a checklist on what to do. It's like those posts you'll often see on reddit that are like, "Playing X for the first time, anything I should know?" Whatever happened to just playing the game and figuring things out yourself? Isn't that part of the fun?

But I guess with a game like Ace Attorney where the main gameplay is just thinking through things, Woolie would struggle.

I want to see Woolie do Rise from the Ashes. I want to see Woolie slog through that entire chapter and having to deal with some of the jankiest puzzles I've seen in Ace Attourney. Without a guide.

Some cool indie horror games but they scraped the bottom of the barrel really quick. And funny stupid shit Like Escape From Bug Island.
Rule Of Rose was fascinating to watch though. I wish they continued with it.
Really sad they never did a full LP of REmake and laugh at Weskers stupid plan.

It was a self-inflicted problem caused by their insistence in all but one of the shitstorms of only ever spending one episode on a game. If they'd been willing to spend more time on the good games they wouldn't have burned through everything that was decent so quickly.

This is really noticeable in Shitstorm VII where, outside of some really great picks like FAITH, Amnesia (surprisingly it took them so long to even play it and it was the 3rd to last Shitstorm episode) and Witch Hunt, you had garbage like Agony or The Last DeadEnd

Kinda wish we had a full Witch Hunt LP if it would be anything like the OneyPlays one, but I doubt SBFP (Final) era Matt and Pat would've made it interesting

We need a master list of all the LP's, Shitstorms etc. ranked by the community. For example, I remember that one about the house being alive was a good episode.

Man, remember Woolie Will Figure It Out?

I remember it being one of several things to erode any presumed credibility Woolie had with fans who had given him the benefit of the doubt as a consequence of his QA lead job being taken to indicate that he was somehow a functioning adult.

The episode with his mom helped to cement the popular view that Woolie is a serial exaggerator and midwit who was only slightly less lucky than Pat to be plugged into Matt's money-printing endeavor. The only value Woolie's "Friendcast" had was as a weekly behind-the-scenes of Matt's channel to include reactions to game industry news as pertaining to the channel. And when that channel ended, Woolie convinced himself that what regular listeners ackchully wanted was to hear him and Pat tie themselves in knots trying be sanctimonious about any number of issues they were consistently and indignantly mistaken about; because they're both low-functioning shut-ins who only bother with the podcast because shit-tier sponsors are apparently still willing to subsidize their utterly non-productive lives.

If Woolie ever had to apply for a real job again, his curriculum vitae would list himself as his employer for the past ten years, a photo of himself in an obese fighting game pose, and nothing else.

I think the subreddit did a fan vote for top 25 LPs and it was mostly usual suspects with every souls game and Omikron being the top 1 which i personally disagree but it's certainly a community ranking.


25) Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

24) Silent Hill: Downpour

23) Star Wars: KOTOR

22) Indigo Prophecy

21) Dark Souls 3

20) Resident Evil 4

19) Ride to Hell

18) Bloodborne

17) God of War

16) Devil May Cry 3

15) Nier

14) Dark Souls 2

13) X-COM 2 Ironman

12) Until Dawn

11) Beyond Two Souls

10) Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden

9) Dark Souls

8) I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream

7) Silent Hill 2

6) Heavy Rain

5) Yakuza 0

4) Deadly Premonition

3) Detroit: Become Human

2) LA Noire

1) Omikron The Nomad Soul

I think there are some underrated LPs that most people ignored cause it run with another more popular LP (rip tokyo mirage sessions) or are from a less popular pair. Like Chasing Dead is such a great trainwreck of a LP (the audio gets more delayed as they play and at one point the trees start movign) but it's matt+liam that most people hate but i watched multiple times.

Escape from Bug Island, The Cat Lady and Disaster Report are kinda slow so they're forgotten but worth at least a compilation. What we need is a good one off and shitstorm recs cause there are too many of those. Mystery box is also hard to track and i only remember this gem of exchange

Is there any stats for the podcast viewership? It would be interesting to see the difference from pre split to post spilt. As well as 2020 to now

Chartable for iTunes stats & Twitch Tracker for Twitch stats. Looking at it now they are sliding off the top 100 podcasts on iTunes and seem to be losing interest based on a few negative reviews. Twitch is largely healthy and had a spike due to the Zangeif news. I am unaware of any stats beyond that, so here's the latest negative review on iTunes.
