I hope to god they get around to finishing the rest of Phucker in the Ashes. The ending of that game is fucking bonkers. I can't think of a more fitting series for them to do.
 
Apparently, it's to be closer to his wife's family. Moving out of LA when you're raising children is a win either way.

Voice acting has evolved to the point where if you had a good setup you can do most of your recordings at home anyway. And if he didn't, NYC has a very active voice acting scene.
Raising kids in NYC isn't a win either
 
Cory is like a 10 year-old who thinks that everyone knows what he is talking about when he says he went home because the concept of people not knowing information is alien to him

. It’s why it’s frustrating to have him in any game where story is a big thing. He’ll talk over it because he assumes no one cares or they know it even if Chris or Zach as what’s going on.
It's strange because Conker's story and humor is THE reason not only to play it but the reason why you Let's Play it. To see people reacting to it

It's strange that in Cory's mind people are there for the gameplay, which is bland Banjo Kazooie type busywork mixed with a really shitty TPS at the end. That's only funny as a "hey look, I get what they're parodying" thing

It depends on if he’s in NYC proper or a Borough like Staten Island. If he’s living in Jersey, Phili, or another state close by then he can probably be fine.

NYC schools do suck and I know Jews who basically cluster with Catholics and Greek Orthodox if they can’t cohabitate with the Chabad and Ultra orthodox in New York.
 
Damn, this is how I learned about this. Definitely a good move to get his kid out of LA, but fuck is it disappointing that this is going to relegate him to guest status on OneyPlays. This on top of Zach being too busy to commonly be on anymore is really a catastrophic hit. I guess the reign of Cory is going to be endless even though he ALSO lives in another state... but I doubt we're gonna be so lucky as to have Tomar be so frequent since he actually has stuff in his life of value unlike Cory. We're running out of core members here, actually makes me wonder how much longer OneyPlays will go on for.

We're in the bad timeline rn
I don't have viewership charts on me or anything, but haven't GG always been more popular because a couple years after Jon left they successfully transitioned their fanbase from teenage and 20-something gamer men to 80 million tumblr girls who goon over Dan/Arin fanfiction?

Not that I think popularity matters much for anything, but I think it's also fair to say that OneyPlays has much wider cultural penetration than GG due to the bits of it that inspired/featured on Smiling Friends.

Not only that but they're playing more danganronpa so that's easy views from retarded tumblrkids, but for game grumps it's make it or break it and oneyplays is one bad Adam/Cory accidental slur away from being deleted and it won't matter to them that much
 
move Cory down to D because he seriously has made me not watch the channel for months now. No one else in this list actively makes me not want to watch an episode with them in it just Cory.
I remember them playing Starfield and Cory was constantly crying "I just want to play Pseudoregalia," a tranny furry coomer-bait 3D platformer. Then like 3 months or so ago I saw they actually played it, knew all of Cory's commentary would be about how much he wants to fuck the furry protagonist, and actively avoided watching it.
 
I don't know why, but I have an inkling the oneyplays channel is getting fucked with behind the scenes by YouTube. I have absolutely zero evidence, and know that there's a sizable piece of the fan base that doesn't like Corey and Lyle and that's who've been on a lot lately, but I can't help but feel there's some tomfoolery afoot. Maybe someone doesn't like Smiling Friends getting big, and OP being a major influence on the show? IDK, you decide

It really isn't anything more complicated other than "the current guests are not as popular as the others (read: zach hadel)." Looking at everything post DD/J, videos without Zach have almost always performed worse than videos with him. The videos handicapped by Lyle that also have a ton of views coincidentally have Zach in them. I don't think anyone at YT gives a shit about fucking with the channel, it's just that not all of the content they're churning out is necessarily appealing to the audience they built.
 
If there was someone BTS who hated Smiling Friends for whatever reason, the Adult Swim channel promoting real-life scenes and shorts with Zach in it would be suppressed and not so visible. The viewcount/like ratio on those are pretty high imo

It's just par for the course that videos without Zach don't net as many viewers who want to hear what zany things he has to say. Same with Tomar, I feel like him Zach and Chris are the essential trio.

Also, I have actively started to notice the lack of "oney plays hehe with frens" since reading someone's comment about it on here and it makes my heart shrivel into a little raisin each time I notice :(

agree, it felt too on-the-nose and their over-the-top amazed/delighted reactions to the (not actually that great) humor were grating. they should go back to Harvester instead, that's much more the kind of "lolwtf game" i prefer. and/or my summer car.

they've been pumping out shorts lately and some of them are bretty good. i give lyle a lot of shit but this is an A-tier hypothetical

I used to think, "Is anyone actually there for gameplay on any oneyplays video? They're not pros, they're not particularly good at games and they're getting old." But then the comments during Dark Soul 1+2 with Cory/Adam, Sonic Frontiers, and some other one shot playthroughs proved otherwise.

I agree but I do think them being a little edgier than average (after being more than a little edgier than average in the past) may mean YT probably throttles them a little bit.

i would say to an extent their gameplay matters, i think the best series' like Crash, Spider-Man 2, Croc, Hitman and Kingdom Hearts feature them playing lots of levels or even the whole thing which gives them a lot to comment on. Back when I tried watching Game Grumps the one I enjoyed were the Steam Trains since it featured Danny and Ross playing games they already knew intimately and could show off the bits they liked, which prompted more interesting discussion. Compare that to the TIHYDP in the Egoraptor thread, they make practically no progress with 60 parts of content in at best five hour games like Majora. Even when Oney or Arin aren't commenting on the game, you can tell when there's no progress being made in a game that the commentary takes a hit

But bringing this back to Cory, Conker's story IS the experience. You play Conker for the story, not the gameplay. The gameplay is still important, it gets you from joke to joke and for a let's player it's probably a funnier experience to watch them play something like the pissing on fire demons section rather than just having them react to it on youtube like XQC. Cory's LPs are an example of being too focused on the gameplay, where a lot of the times he's distracting from interesting discussion by having a spergout about the game. It's way more fun to be listening to OneyPlays while playing a game yourself than to have your attention jerked back to your phone because you dont understand what Cory is mad about without visual evidence it's a bad section or that he's doing bad. Hence why Game Grumps doesnt really work for me, Grumps fans feel like theyre actively watching the gameplay as well in order to see their e-daddies "react" to it

Also I dont think there's a conspiracy, Oneyplays is in a slump and thus views are low. Game Grumps has been in a slump for the past maybe half a decade at least but both Game Grumps and Oneyplays have managed to keep a niche regardless of quality, it's just that Game Grumps being a bigger and broader brand at its peak will have a higher valley than Oney's valley
 
Is this an appropriate thread to talk about wrath clubs new game, Flipside? Troons are mad at it because it mentions Palestine, and everyone else is mad at it because it has a lot of feet content
