Oh boy, LA Noire got super real today.

Anybody know what the fuck is up with Cole banging the German junkie? It's super random.

She's the classic femme fatale of the Noire genre, she plays a much bigger role in the overall story.

The lead up is not really shown, since we never get a glimpse into Coles private life we dont know why, but he became genuinely infatuated with Elsa after first meeting her with roy and that's about it...he fell for the Jazz singer.

 

[Imperfected]

Woolie going hard in the paint as a devil's advocate with his proposition that there's anything the least bit acceptable about Abigail.

I think Abigail is a great goofy character and looks like a blast to play.

You just got to one-up him, huh? Can't let Woolie be the best at anything. Tsk.

More definitely could've been done to illuminate Cole's private life, but I've always respected how the game is kind of dedicated to telling its story on on the job, and about the job. And the implication is the reason he did what he did... is because of the job.

So there's certainly a deliberateness to not showing a lot of it, and there's also certainly a matter of cut content. How much of all that, we don't know. But it's interesting and as we get closer to the end it does get better.

Davis is also cool, if you like star wars Jessie, Davis, and Alex have a podcast where they talk about stuff in the new expanded canon of star wars, shits funny.

But yeah you are definitely in for a treat with that playthrough

Still cops

13 episodes in, definitely enjoying it, and I like how they are nailing the questioning sections by actually looking at the faces and all, whereas Woolie does the whole "lie and see what it hints" thing.

he looks really fun to play, and has a lot of character quirks. His alts are fine as well. Sorry.

if it comes out of Matts mouth, 99% of the time it's a reference

98% of the time that reference is to the Simpsons

My favorite part of Matt referencing the Simpsons is that its like and entire season's worth of jokes condensed into a half hour with none of the filler and sometimes none of the set up!

From the mightiest Pharaoh to the lowliest peasant, who doesn’t enjoy a good reference

Perfect dicks

The good thin about them and jessie is that you get all the dumb humor you would get from an SBF or a Game Grumps, but they actually try to do extremely well and do extra shit in video games

 

[Imperfected]

I appreciate Matt's Simpsons referenced because they're concentrated largely around the seasons where it was actually good, and he doesn't try to make Later Era Simpsons a thing.

Abigail is pushing me to buy the season pass....he looks like a damn blast to play.

He seems to pretty much only quote stuff from OSW Review eps now.

As someone who was raised by his pap on a diet of old Simpsons episodes recorded on blank VHS, who can quote Simpsons for most situations, I appreciate the heck out of Matt's constant, unending trail of Simpsons references.

 

[Frimaire]

Yeah, that's what he said: 98% Simpsons references.

I think my favorite part of the Cat Lady lp is listening to Pat and Woolie talk about psychology. Its always fun, also wow this LP is getting SH as fuck right now....

 

[Numb]

Pat didn't have to share his story about being full of shit
Maybe that's just me

 

[NoblesseOblige]

The word 'Depression' isn't a misnomer, Woolie. It is derived from a word meaning 'to press down'. As in your mood is pressed down.

I mean he's not wrong, apathy is a huge part of depression.

Im having some shitstorms in the backround as I do some stuff. What are some peoples personal favorites?

also does anyone else really want them to go back to the Shitstorm 3 style but with maybe only two weeks of horror games?

I really like both sessions of Ju-On: The Grudge (with and without Pat).

Pesadelo is really good for how spooked Matt and Pat get.

Which one of you FFXIV nerds dotted Pat up with Bio spells?

 

[Anung]

Call of Cthulu
Cry of Fear
Outlast
X-files: Resist or Serve
One Late Night
Any of the weird Spanish horror games
Alone in the Dark: TNN
Clock Tower
Martian Gothic Reunification
Deep Fear
Anatomy
Monstrum

Sorry for the list but I binge watch all the shitstorms all the time. These are some of my favourite favourites.

 

[Village]

I know its the most overdone thing
But their fnaf episode fucking hilarious

No worries, i was hoping for a list from you!

I love Phobia because of how spooked Pat gets. He ends up cheering when the game crashes because he couldn't take it anymore.

Curse The Eye of Isis for this moment

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

Friday Night Fisticuffs - Garrison Archangel

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Anatomy is probably my favorite one.

Wow the audio desync on this is disgusting

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Didn't notice any desync.

Spoiler

like 90% FNF videos it was boring so I just had it play in the background

Lakeview Cabin Collection is the best, imo

 

[joe2187]

Anatomy is probably my favorite one.

Pats deep loud sighs everytime he has to find a tape and he finishes a tape....make it so tense....he's dreading every turn of the corner.

 

[Matsukaze]

I've been meaning to rewatch the Anatomy vid for a while. No time like the present lol.

 

[Archgan]

This is a top-tier fan animation.

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

anatomy is hella scary

I know a friend who knows the dev and writer for it

Kitty Horror Show on Twitter?

LA Noire: I feel like Woolie being a bit of a pyromaniac was mentioned before somewhere but I can't remember where. Him immediately knowing what makes green fire though...you a firebug, man.

 

[Xux]

I miss Shitstorm V times. Liam, Phantom Pain still freash, Vessel...

Vessel was fun because even if you didn't pay for it, it's nice to know what the next few day's schedule is like.

 

[Strimei]

I was just thinking of Vessel recently myself. Dunno if I miss it though, I kinda like the surprise of not knowing exactly what's coming.

It's come up on the podcast a few times.

Oh hey look a new Macinima episide

Oh hey look a new Macinima episide

is 12 where this "Real Time" battle system began? because I hate everything about it and it's system. I....despise it. It makes me feel like I have less control over the game than anything I've played before.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Technically XI started the trend.

 

[Strimei]

Thought so. Felt familiar.

Oh hey look a new Macinima episide

Speaking of, I've seen people on teh subreddit and in the comments there talk about the amount of dislikes (though honestly its not that much). For anyone curious, it apparently relates to some drama involving a French youtuber who got a copyright strike from Machinima (possibly because of a second French youtuber who is a part of Machinima) and his fans are taking it out on Machinima.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Down vote/disliking activism will never not be hilarious to me.

 

[Imperfected]

On the one hand that's ridiculous, on the other hand it's kind of ridiculous they even still contract with Machinima.

 

[Strimei]

On the one hand that's ridiculous, on the other hand it's kind of ridiculous they even still contract with Machinima.

They've said in the past that they have had zero issues with them (though one could argue that they wouldn't say anything bad while under contract, I suppose). And apparently they're locked in for an extremely long time too (2025).

Seeing as how Machinima has the Best Friends as their banner on youtube right now, it may be they're the only big thing they got left.
