That's an elaborate ruse, he's actually off to fight ISIS in the Middle East, much like he thwarted that nuclear plot in North Korea.

I liked it quite a bit. It's a much different kind of episode, but it was a fun self contained story. The people are from the MaxFun show The Flophouse. It's a bad movie podcast that seems well liked among people who's taste I trust. I haven't checked it out myself.
Also, Griffon has said he's going to try and integrate their characters into the main AZ campaign at some point, so it's probably worth checking out just for that.
According to this achievement tracker site they have played the game for just over 11 hours and they have already uploaded about 10 hours so 1 episode is probably right, possibly 0 episodes if they have left the game running.
some whatever network they're on bullshit where they trade podcasts for a week.
i don't know because i hate every single max fun zone ad on their network except for the adventure zone ones

They're from a bad movie podcast, but they were like one of the first bad movie podcasts and I think a lot of them are daily show writers. One of them used to be the head writer at least.
Outside of the McElroy family of podcasts, the only MaxFun shows I listen to are Judge John Hodgman and Oh No Ross and Carrie. I have a lot of fun with ONRaC in particular, but it's only cool if you like hearing the inner workings of fringe religious groups and weird alternative medicine.

I just... Love listening to this. It's just a special kind of beautiful. Not only do you hear the crazy, but you also hear Jeff's ability to work with that level of crazy. 20 years of experience with nut jobs covered in a level headed conversation on his side.
They have uploaded today's stream to the site includes both the periscope and the livestream in the video.

A man courageous enough to put up a fight for his cartoon cleavage. With a little time and luck he may just ensure that videogames are made for the male demographic.
Man this is so good. Undertale for best music please.

Between Jason's kid, Drew's vacation, and Brad being gone for "a couple of weeks" it's gonna be a weird month!

The dawn of the second dark age has begun. GBeast will save us I'm sure.
I gotta admit when that music fully kicks in I got choked up a bit.
I played it in two sittings and by that point I was physically tired and the stuff that was happening was having an impact on me.
I'm surprised Jeff hang on that long with that. It was clear that no matter how reasonable Jeff's arguments were or how much he rebuked the caller's talking points, the caller was never going to budge an inch on his opinion. The conversation clearly was never going anywhere. Jeff was really impressive there, but I find conversations like that to be super frustrating myself.
Still, super impressive how Jeff debated him and worked with the points he brought up without really patronizing the caller or resorting to badmouthing the caller himself. Good work.
GB can sometimes thrive in these situations. It's what gave us euro truck simulator. Granted that was only for a week

I want to see Dan become engulfed in the world of anime while Drew, Jason, and Brad are gone.
There's an exchange that always makes me laugh that is roughly like;
"They've taken away games where women dress scantily"
"They released a new DOA like last month"
"Oh? Well I don't really know much about that"

I just want the office to turn into a giant wrestling ring by the time the rest of the crew comes back.
That was fantastic. He actually brought up the fact that 'a game like DOA couldn't be done today' and Jeff tells him they just made a new one 5 months ago. Great stuff.
My favorite part is when Jeff lays out the reasons Saturday Morning Cartoons went away, the guy tacitly acknowledges those point and then like 5 minutes later the guy responds to another point by saying "I saw what those SJWs did to Saturday Morning Cartoons".
He literally took nothing away from that first exchange.

GiantBomb.com is my go-to place for shabby goings on
Ah he actually name checked DOA did he?
I mean that's that conversation in a nutshell isn't it?
"They took away X"
"No they didn't"
"Oh well I don't actually care about X anyway".

God, that guy is such an idiot. If he care's so much about violent cartoons, there are so many of them out there: Archer, South Park,Anime, etc.
In fact, because creatives realized that they don't have to always target the 12 year old audience, they diversified, and now cartoons are made for different specific audiences. Animation has never been stronger...
That's really indicative of the major problem with all this. It's impossible to reason with people like him because they themselves don't actually know what they're fighting for. They just have an amorphous anger they're directing at anything that looks at them sideways.
the DOA stuff is even funnier now that they announced yet another volleyball game.

!!! real actual undertale spoilers do not click. !!!
For me, it hit me really hard because on my first playthrough Toriel was the ONLY person I killed. So when you get to Asgore's house and you realize that it's the same and it hit just hit me, oh god what have i done.

The best damn video of the year, that's what.
Seriously, this is like watching the guys try to navigate an Escape Room. Oddly compelling.
Shit! Now there's something I'd really want to watch.

Here's a hot tip for Mario Maker that I was reminded of when they considered popping up that first Koopa in Dan's own level an instant failure: You can actually jump over a sliding Koopa shell in a one tile high space. I know it doesn't make sense but it totally works.

This is my first time listening through this, and it really puts the whole conversation in perspective. When you hear the guy start talking about attacks on 'traditional gamers', it's a mirror goddamn image of the people who call into conservative talk radio and rant on the demonization of Christianity.
