It depends on the commentary, but mostly I prefer FNF if they can play well. Ironically, this can mean when there's no commentary made

And there's Matt telling the museum-arcade school fieldtrip story for the third time. That's when I know the commentary ain't going to get better...
also does the music have faint sirens in it or do emergency vehicles just keep going by.

I definitely prefer Scrublords. I agree it's kinda boring when they enjoy it since I tend to be an audio guy. Scrublords tends to have the discovery aspect and breakdowns which are fun.
Way better than the awkward, shitty competitive aspect of Brawls; though, I miss Matt's crazy editing.
Also, jeeze are the Tekken characters lame.
I prefer Scrublords unless its a fighting game I'm really interested in (which is few and far between). Scrublords has the added benefit of awfulness/wtf.

Yeah, Scrublords is more entertaining, although FNF can be interesting if you're finding out about a game for the first time.
Also, Command Mission is better without the game audio, (un)surprisingly.

Oh dear.
In the newest part of Silent Hill 3, Matt see's the map and talking about quiting the game, Pat jokes he knows Matt likes to quit things, Matt jokes back saying in a very 'Mmm-hmn' voice, "Hmmm, one day. When somebody gets fired, we can talk about that..." Pat then absolutely loses his shit, and Matt just says, "One day, but not today." And they hurridly change the topic.
It could just be some in-joke, like they may be joking about the Omikron quiting comment, but this seemed related to something and they've made a few quiting jokes recently, so it may just be me overthinking it, but it's a tad worrying if it might imply what I think it might be implying. It can also come off as a joke, so it might very well be worrying over nothing.

There's the time in the video for context.

Yes he does, especially recently there's been a rise and I've noticed it between a few videos, but it's the first time I heard Patt really lose his shit over it which might be why it got a raised eyebrow out of me. But as I said, it could easily be taken as a joke and I'm just overthinking.

Is Matt actually their boss, or is that just the "character" he plays?
why would Pat laugh that much at someone getting actually fired?
There's probably a back story, like him joking to fire Woolie all week over some dumb stuff.
50/50 I think. He's certainly the 'boss' or 'co-boss', but he plays it up as his roll for sure. I think he pays the others.

I would imagine that if they were actually thinking of closing up shop, there would be much more about it rather than a little in-joke that they occasionally have brought up for damn near forever.

I've seen Don't Breathe, I liked it but I didn't love it. It definitely has good tension and an interesting premise, but it almost seems like a horror version of those cartoon/old move comedy skits where things keep on escalating in extravagant ways. It's fun to watch but at a certain point it almost becomes comedic in how the situations the characters find themselves in just keeps leading to one bad turn after another (and the one character who won't die until he does die). It was a fun watch, but I do think it gets a bit silly and there were a few better horror films this year (it was a surprisingly good year for horror movies). It was a fun watch though, I'll definitely give it that.
That sounds par the course for a Sam Raimi film

To my knowledge he was only the producer and not the director on the film, but it did have a bit of his DNA on it. One reason it might of faltered on me is I wasn't feeling the main character too much, didn't dislike her really, but didn't really like her either. Still, it was a fun ride, though I do think it paled a bit to a few horror horror film releases this year, but it was a good year for the genre.
Give me some good horror recommendations, I've only seen a few this year and please dont say "The Witch" that movie was such a disappointment.
Play Sonico? She's actually from a game? Thought she was a sexy company mascot.
Yeah she's the latter, but she's since been in games (such as that Dengeki fighting game).
As for the firing/quitting thing, I really think you're looking too much into it, Dusk.
I don't remember when/where this came up, but I remember Matt telling a story about how he quit his QA job and I think I remember him joking about burning some bridges. It may have to do with that.
Hah I forgot about that.
I think she also has some rhythm game too.
Yeah that's what I was thinking it was in reference to, I remember him mentioning having burned some bridges.

Don't worry, while I didn't hate The Witch I think it's a tad overrated. There's a couple that come out before the year ends I'm very interested in I will also mention at the end of this post, but I don't know if they're good or not as they aren't out yet but anticipating them. I also will skip out on a few more popular obvious ones that are kind of love it/hate it films, like the new Blair Witch movie, Conjuring 2, & 10 Cloverfield Lane.
I'll put them in alphabetical order since it's a bit hard for me to fully rank them and different tastes apply here:
Chocolate Strawberry Vanilla: This is an Australian horror film about an Ice Cream Man who is a bit mentally challenged and slow with an unhealthy obsession with a TV star, but well intending and wants to make people smile and their day a bit better. A series of bad luck befalls him, but through his bad luck something good comes out of it and he's able to meet his celebrity crush. The films deals with a lot of topics and issues, it's kind of a black comedy.
Green Room: In my opinion, one of the best 'torture porn' movies in existence. I'm not very big on the torture porn horror film scene, but this one I ended up liking. It has incredibly disturbing violence, but in a way it's terrifying rather than gratifying. But what helps elevate it is that the story is character driven, and the characters are unfortunately likable even with flaws, it's well performed and executed, quite the visceral horror thriller. It's basically about a Boy Band happening upon some twisted Neo Nazis, in basic.
Hush: I find it funny that Don't Breathe and Hush came out in the same year, they're very similar but also the OPPOSITE of each other. Where Don't Breathe features an antagonist who is blind, Hush features a protagonist that's deaf. Hush is a bit more of a slower film in the home invasion genre, but has some well done twists and turns, and some very good tension. Out of all the movies I will name this is the one to draw the biggest comparisons to Don't Breathe, but while Don't Breathe is a bit constantly chaotic with its tension, Hush is much more harrowing and slower with its tension.
The Invitation: Well done paranoia film about a group of friends who meet for the first time in a while after a tragic death a few years ago to have a night to party, but our main character suspects something is very wrong here. Though if you don't like horror movies mostly character focused, this may not be up your alley, but I liked it.
Lights Out: This one and Don't Breathe got recommended a lot this year, so I watched both. This is basically an example of a simple concept done very well. The film is about a sister/brother duo, the brother seems to be going through events that the older sister once went through which pushed her sanity and she thought she was crazy for, but now wants to go reveal the truth and save her brother from this fate. It's about an entity who only appears when the lights are off.
Southbound: A pretty good anthology horror film with some interesting ways to connect the story set in the middle of nowhere in the south. It was interesting.
They Look Like People: This one I liked but didn't love but I saw it with a friend and they loved it so I'll recommend it. This is about a guy who see's weird things that look like people but have malicious intentions, and only very specific methods make them show their true selves. But our character is heavily debating if he's just gone mad, or if the world has. He has only one friend who's stuck with him over the years with his strange conspiracy theories and introverted self, so he tries to make the call whether to save his friend from the entities, or to save his friend from himself. It's a kind of slow-burn psychological film with a few pretty creepy moments.
Train to Busan: It's an over-the-top Korean zombie movie about a father, daughter, and a cast of other characters riding a train as a zombie outbreak begins. It is simply a very well done zombie movie that has a good mix of memorable scenes, over-the-top deaths, interesting character drama, and the setting of the film (about 60% on a train, 40% around train tracks) is interesting, with a well done ending. Also has one of the biggest assholes I've seen in a zombie movie in a while. If you want a well-done zombie movie that's a bit exaggeratedly over the top, this is a very good pick.
Under the Shadow: A foreign horror-drama from a co-production effort by Jordan, Qatar, & the United Kingdom. What comes out of it is one of the more unique horror films I've seen in a while, it basically is a drama that slowly turns into a horror movie. It tells the story of a mother and daughter dealing with the horrors of a war-torn post-revolutionary Tehran in the 1980s, and is equal parts a very well done war drama that slowly turns into a very interesting horror movie.
The Wailing: A Korean Horror film about a stranger entering a small Korean village and soon a strange epidemic begins to take hold. A police officer is drawn in when his daughter gets infected, and works to find the cause and cure of the strange disease. I won't say too much more, but it was very surprising and has stuck with me since I saw it, but it's a bit cryptic in its story. A good thinking horror film though.
If you don't mind some interesting visuals over a meaty story, I would recommend:
-Baskin
-Neon Demon
There were also a few surprises this year, like as one may have heard, while the other Ouija films were pretty bad, somehow Ouija: Origin Of Evil turned out to actually be... Pretty decent? The Boy also was one I liked decently enough but didn't love, it was escalated due to a late film twist I really didn't see coming though.
For upcoming horror movies that release in December that have my interest:
-The Eyes of My Mother: This has been at festivals but gets a proper full release on December 2nd in the USA. There has been glowing word of mouth about this film from its festival showings. It's about a woman who begins to get consumed by her desires after tragedy strikes her quiet country life.
-The Autopsy of Jane Doe: Another one that did rounds at film festivals I've heard is very good. The movie follows a father and son as they perform an autopsy on a homicide victim's corpse with no apparent cause of death, but as they perform the autopsy, strange things begin to happen.
There's of course a lot I haven't seen this year, and a few I haven't I want to check out later due to good word of mouth, but there's a small little rundown.
I wouldn't be surprised if Liam and Woolie leave in the near/distant future. Been a load of hints that they are mobilising to start working on some kind of game or something?
I don't mean this in a nasty way just an amusing way but I'd love to play a game Woolie made. It'd probably be a non-Euclidean horror scape in level design considering how bad he can be at games and following design. I don't know if that's because his job in game testing is basically to play games wrong.

It was kinda shameful how they didn't even try doing the simple number puzzle in the latest SH3 video, they're legit scared of puzzles.

Okay, I'm watching this right now as I work on something, I admit Matt's joke about the guy having to hack out his Nintendo fan games from his criminal record slayed me.
Edit: And a little bit later he makes a joke about having to increase the development size by two so they could include pictures of Girls for Marcus' avatar.
Matt's 'gaming political' jokes in the episodes are on mark in the video in my opinion.
Double Edit: They much of been pumped to play this or something, it's actually one of the funnier vids they've done in a while in my opinion. Maybe since it allows them to be timely. Also some of the best/worst Woolie burns in a while (poor Woolie). Good mix of humor about.

haha that bit killed me. When Matt got the wrong number AND THEN Pat says 15 for military time for some bizarre reason. They got it so wrong so fast it was amazing. God they are so bad at puzzles it hurts a little.
I kind of want a full LP where someone just sits Pat down with the witness, locks him in a room, and doesn't feed him until he finishes an area.
