Maybe. I hate the cold, but I wanna play in the snow.

They kept being off topic and complaining about 30fps instead of 60fps in that thread.

I've never touched snow. Snow looks pretty cool to play in

Spoiler

pun intended motherfuckers

.

Yeah I thought Hyper Light Drifter would be in 60 (and now I've admitted to not following the game). It seems really strange why it would be in 30, other Game Maker games can hit 60 no problem, and sprite animation isn't a problem since you can just draw out frames twice as long but keep all the logic at 60fps, no need to draw more sprite frames.

 

[Okingjrr]

Well Frienders... I just turned 20....

Now what...

A little late but happy birthday!

Outside's not looking good you guys, I hate this cold grey weather. Without snow it just sucks.

 

[Okingjrr]

You're pushing it with the avatars, man. I don't mind it at all, but let's just hope Bish doesn't either.

Soon.

Yeahh... It's really skirting the edge.. i'll see everyone's general reaction and scale it if it gets too bad.

Might as well start the with an on-topic topic. How big does everyone think the TBF will get? Will they get some staff or stay a 4 person operation?

Soon.

Shhh.. keep it down! Bish might hear you!

Well they didn't start off as a 4 person group so there is no reason they couldn't expand. They used to be Two Best Friends but now they're the Super Best Friends so they could add more people if they wanted too.

Kinda like a super hero group of low level e-celebs? What else are we missing? The cyclops of the x-friends?

I hope they add Billy. I miss Billy.

People got really bad reactions when Liam showed up in the New Super Mario Bros game, and they responded with why shouldn't we add this guy? He's super great.

One day they will be as big as Giant Bomb

I thought Liam first appeared in Metroid Fusion?

Well I first saw him there in the mario vid and people were really salty about that. I haven't checked out the Metroid Fusion vids yet.

 

[Gamer Y]

Maybe as big as Giant Bomb, maybe alittle smaller, but they seem to be doing alright for themselves. Honestly, I can't see them adding anyone, if anyone they should add someone for FPS, they don't have of that on their channel.

 

[Zenfalcia]

They might expand in the future, just like they've expanded in the past, though the zaibuttsu fanbase is a fickle and occasionally retarded bunch, so nothing can be said for sure. The 4-guy dynamic is working incredibly well for now. That being said, they are merely an LP group (and not a review/news/whatever site like Giantbomb and the like), so unless they somehow manage to catch the attention of the general populace, they'll probably stay at a similar size they have now.

Yeah. They'd need to really expand and become really popular for them to grow their channel to become a business. Selling t-shirts and merch isn't the best business model.

I thought Liam first appeared in Metroid Fusion?

I feel like he was earlier, just not as promiment.

I was thinking of that exact picture with bish. I didnt expect my avatar to be used. XD

 

[Oberon]

KLKs served a purpose outside of just fapservice, Needless just likes to remind you that the main character is a pedophile

I think the tasteless part is that he's a priest

Well Frienders... I just turned 20....

Now what...

Wow, try to not overdo yourself Gramps,
Ahh, it's great to still have your youth!

I am 18, and I'll be 20 when I graduade from high school,,,,

I'm certain he was introduced in the metroid fusion playthrough although I do remember them talking about Liam before hand

 

[Zenfalcia]

But SBF dont even do game reviews or fully dedicate themselves to their channel and content. They might add behind the scenes people. Like people who cut videos etc.

I think that adds even more to the joke, but at a point it becomes too much.

 

[Ultimate_Trainer]

I'm watching it now and it did seem like they did introduced him as a rising superstar.

What more could they do to dedicate themselves to the channel?

What do you mean they don't fully dedicate themselves? They've all quit their jobs to work on it, that's as dedicated as you can get.

 

[Zenfalcia]

Woolie, liam, and matt all work normal jobs including the channel. As finacially terrible it'll be, they ccould qiit their jobs and only do channel stuff.

Edit: welp, i guess my info is really old.

Mat and Pat did it a while ago, Woolie and Liam revealed they were at Con bravo I think.

 

[ShakuganSan]

P3 is still going strong, Ken just moved in to the dorm on 7/25, how much is left of the game?
And how do you check the description of your persona's skills? I don't even know what 75% of them even do unless i go in the battle and highlight them

 

[Zenfalcia]

Hmm.. i wonder how much they make total.. maybe the tbf wiki will have that info.. maybe.

You memorize them or look them up on a wiki. You still got more game play to go through, domt worry.

 

[croten]

Not sure but Woolie said something around 40K. I think that was each though

 

[Zenfalcia]

"PAT DIDN'T GIVE X GAME A 10/10!? What a piece of shit who lacks journalistic integrity! Sell-out, corrupt assholes! Imma send death threats, that'll show 'em!"

I forgot about the super ontime top tens. XD i guess i was thinking like of an article about the game anf breaking it down, like a game reviewer loke giant bomb would do.

Not sure but Woolie said something around 40K. I think that was each though

Sounds about right from what i estimated.

 

[Ultimate_Trainer]

"PAT DIDN'T GIVE X GAME I LIKE A 10/10 AND INSTEAD GAVE 9.5/10!? What a piece of shit who lacks journalistic integrity! Sell-out, corrupt assholes! Imma send death threats, that'll show 'em!"

Wouldn't that be the opposite of selling out? They are actually giving it a lower score, so wouldn't that mean they aren't accepting money from Devs?

 

[DoktorEvil]

"PAT DIDN'T GIVE X GAME I LIKE A 10/10!? What a piece of shit who lacks journalistic integrity! Sell-out, corrupt assholes! Imma send death threats, that'll show 'em!"

If you didn't get a death threat, you ain't reviewing games right.

A job like that must suck. Cool you get to play video games for a living, but the viewership is very hyperbolic and full of assholes.

Oh, controversial opinion, I think new Sonic isn't as bad as sonic 06. New sonic just look and plays dull and boring. I kind of understand why there was a review embargo, and it has to do with 20 to 30 something's like GG or Giant Bomb planning To make videos to shit on what appears to be a children's video game.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Guys it's been ten years since this came out with the raddest case ever.

I don't know how to feel.

Don't forget rape threats if you have the nerve to be reviewing games AND be a woman.

Poor Liam.

It seems fine for all the controversy behind it. But I've only seen GG play it so that's not much to go on. Has anyone here played it yet?

Giant Bomb did a QL of it. That should satiate your curiosity.

It's certainly going for that Saturday cartoon feel, but I feel the execution (the voice acting and the script) isn't up to snuff. Kids probably don't care though, which is the target audience.

 

[Ketkat]

I would hope that's each if they quit their jobs for it. Still though, that's pretty nice money just for having fun playing games

Tbh, they're just as harsh as GG.

No wonder biogamergirl exists. Parents don't want to listen to someone like Arin or a GB person to decide if sonic is a game worth getting for their kid.

The site IS a joke, but apparently parents do take it seriously.
At least parents who didn't grow up playing video games.

are there any updates on the top 10 lists for 2013 ?

We probably will see along side The Last Guardian

How frightening. How would parents even find that site though? They would get totally buried on Google search by the behemoths of games review outlets.

Try and not give a damn, then you won't feel the need to do well and that will lessen your nerves. But you still need to have an in-depth knowledge of the subject you're speaking about, or failing that some flash cards if they'll let you have those that'll enumerate key points so you don't lose your flow.

I'm watching the second part of TEW LP and I almost screamed "NOOOOOO" when Matt told Pat to upgrade melee. I'm fighting the powerful urge to bother Pat with a small list of tips over P.M.

Matt's secretly the best and is just telling Pat to do it now for his future post-Akumu playthroughs with the brass knuckles!

Stand in front of a mirror and run through the talk for like, an hour. Also zone out on actually looking at the class unless your professor grades you on some "engagement" shit like that.

Aw man, any minute now.

OT

Pratice, practice, practice!
If you have a timeframe to respect, I suggest you first practice the whole presentation while timing yourself and on the second try, cut down on what's unnecessary.
Don't learn the whole thing word for word! It can make you stress if you forget something. Remember the big lines of what you're saying and improvise.
Throw in a joke or two, people love em and they reinvigorate their attention.
Take your time! Don't try to go through what you have to say super quickly, you lose the audience when they can't keep up.
On the flip side, depending on the language of the presentation, you'll have to work on keeping yourself dynamic. Play with your voice, take it up and down. Pause regularly (2-4 sec).

Now some people don't like em, but I think that having a little "business hands" could help underline the important things you're saying.

That's my advice. Good luck!

also dont use time fillers such as "like" or umm". speak slow and take pauses instead. everyone here gave you good advice. btw, taking a public speaking class was one of the most useful things ive done in school. really helps get you over it.

YES. AND ITS GREAT

I assume you meant Meathead and it happened when the writers didn't actually attempt to make anything meaningful out of the game.

Jesus I completely forgot about it. I've worked all the fillers out of my speech entirely after my public speaking class and boy are people impressed with that in interviews.
