Ok how many of you expected the character to turn to Liam and Pat and say "Hey! Why are you playing a game when you could be MAKING one!?" Then the DeVry falcons come soaring in with applications.
brainflash1 OH wait, you know what shitty overpriced college I'm thinking of? Full Sail! YAY just 80k a year, kids, and you too can be making generic dogshit like this!
brainflash1 I find it a horrible design choice to even call it "strength", in a game where you have no melee options, and Strength increases your *MAGIC DAMAGE*. And "dexterity" increases your *DEFENSE*. Fuck this game, fuck everything it stands for, fuck Black Tower Games, and most importantly, fuck everyone who *allowed* this horrible, horrible offense to be released to the public. This looks like a goddamn Xbox Live Arcade indie game.
***** And it wasn't made by some guy's one man game studio on XBox Live Arcade and sold for $5 or Xbox Bucks/Microsoft Points or whatever fake currency XBox Live uses.
Fat, Fatter and the Fattest Valentine we call those people "deprived normies". they weren't given anything palpable, so they turned to other media for entertainment.
Fat, Fatter and the Fattest Valentine my childhood defining mediocre game was Oni, the game made by Rockstar and Bungie, before they made GTA III and Halo, respectively.
Now that I have this video evidence that Liam is a sadist, I can easily finalize my calculations which conclude that *Woolie* will be the first to try to go solo.
madvertiz0r This game would be made 10 times better if your guy kept screaming HEIROPHANTO GUREEEEEEEEEEEEEN and EMERARDO SPURAAAAAASHHHHHHU every time you pressed the fire button, but I don't know if even that would save it.
My biggest fear is to try very hard at making the best game I could ever make... and that something like this would come out... and not being able to see the mistakes I've made. So many mistakes.
Nicoyutub It's actually not that hard to avoid making this game. Just find the person who says "Lets just make one level and one enemy and just pallette-swap it repeatedly for every stage, add abilities that are functionally identical to each other and throw our budget into hiring Lightning to voice act this useless secondary character" and fucking punch them in the mouth until they can't talk anymore.
Your first power is green colored? Woolie made this game. Either that or he tested it and the only thing he said was wrong was that there wasn't enough green.
Henry Buehler Excerpt from the bug database: Listen, this blue power energy doesn't feel as powerful from a player's perspective as I would have hoped, I would have expected a more powerful color such as a strong glowing green or purple to emphasize the player's empowerment.
TheLivingShadow Paul Marketing: Good job Woolie, you get a raise! Do you have any other ideas? W: I'm thinking a snail main character and salt powers, and maybe the ability to sacrifice an ally like a dog for more time on the clock, that would be really cool! Paul Marketing: YOU'RE FIRED!!!
PresidentOwnage Oh, by all means, do. I just mean that Pat's Eggman-esque tendencies haven't exactly been hidden. The others even joked about it in one of the spindash videos. "Would you like to play Persona, Sonic? IN HELL!?"
Guys, look at the Magus Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magus_(video_game) Plot: "Magus has been imprisoned in a tower in the Waterfall Kingdom and tortured for years - he's too legit to quit, he's hot to trot, he's stylin' and profilin'."
Hale is one of the greatest voice actors of our generation. Unlike Sheploo who just can't sound convincing as a badass (making a renegade playthrough boring) Hale can portray the same character with different personalities. Plus she has good range. Most people wouldn't know that she is Alex in Eternal Darkness or Tanya in Mortal Kombat unless they were told it was Hale. You should check out her full list of roles shes been in freaking everything.
Why are some of you assuming I'm talking about femshep? I'm talking about the protagonist I never once made any indicationI was talking about female shepard otherwise I would have called them fem shep geez.
23:00 I simply love this gag of casually addressing Matt's alcoholism and his response basically being "maybe your being the problem!" it helps explain how things later went down XD
One of the benefits of having a mystery box series with a description that doesn't give away the game is having more people click on the video, increase traffic. Normally I'd be a little upset at such a clever play but in the case of Best Friends I really don't mind.
***** honestly I don't even think it's a clever way of getting views, I think they just like the idea of the mystery video. It's a mystery to them and us.
WigglyLoose then again, I bet a lot of people wouldn't click on The Magus, but once it hits their eyeballs they can't look away for the full 38 minutes
Darrisbob1 Interesting. I haven't been keeping up on the podcasts lately but that makes sense. If someone really wanted to they could get a bot to just load the video thousands of times and exploit the system.
There is one physically-imposing baldman that worked as a spell dude and that's Jon Irenicus from BG2. But a big part of what made him awesome was David Warner's enthralling voice.
I was giggling like an idiot threw this entire episode, or absolutely loosing my shit. I've still been giggling for 10 minutes after this video. I know it wont happen, but I really, really, really want this to be a full LP.
_"What just happened to me? I feel... different."_ _"You are a god."_ Okay. Pause. I lost my shit. First off: WHAT. Second off: That was the most flaccid delivery I've seen in long time. Tommy Wiseau could pitch a better line! Third off: Already a minute in and I gotta have a pause break. Holy fucking shit.
Holding short swords like that, one normally and one in reverse grip, is actually not a bad stance. It allows you to block incoming attacks with the reverse, even bracing the flat side against the forearm if necessary, while still leaving both swords available for offensive strikes.
I love that in the intro they gave pat skeleton eyebrows, just so theycould point inward and he could look angry, his entire skull besides that is exactly the same XD
Lady VA directors? Well, there's also friggin' Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who did a little nothing anime called Cowboy Bebop. >_> Oh, and Andrea Romano, who did the entirety of the DC Animated Universe and Avatar, among several other things.
I really like how the protagonist looks, stands, and runs like some sort of bow legged, inept generic-man babby that's poorly recovering from a tragic chunneling accident.
Funny story: "She sounds like Lightning" is actually a factually correct statement. I'm 99% certain this voice actor is Ali Hillis, also known as Lightning Farron, also known as Liara T'soni, also known as Akane Kurashiki, also known as Dr. Ariel Hanson. I feel so bad for her.
I feel like this is a game made by someone who said, "I want my game to do this, and this, and that, and all of this other stuff! But I only have twenty bucks and this shoe."
The very moment I get into the game industry, I am taking this concept, doing it in anime or something style and making this concept so cool and such that noone will even link it to this game because of how cool it will be.

Captain Marvelous *slow clap* You the MVP!
Captain Marvelous DeVry? What is this, the History Channel?
Captain Marvelous Ohhh man, oh man, you win the fucking whole internet. Here, just take it. Take the entire internet.

brainflash1 OH wait, you know what shitty overpriced college I'm thinking of? Full Sail! YAY just 80k a year, kids, and you too can be making generic dogshit like this!
THIS IS THE GAME WHERE PAT PUTS POINTS INTO STRENGTH!?!
brainflash1 Well, his vit was already 50.
brainflash1 Fuck me you're right.
Christ that's depressing.
brainflash1 Clearly, we have to talk about Magus in the Bloodborne videos.
brainflash1 Oh god you're right. uuuuugggghhhhhhh

This game released in 2014.
Let that sink in...
Yeah I was shocked about that. I thought this game cane out in 06 or 07.
*****
And it wasn't made by some guy's one man game studio on XBox Live Arcade and sold for $5 or Xbox Bucks/Microsoft Points or whatever fake currency XBox Live uses.
It was developed WAY before that so it's fine. (I hope so much that this is true)
Kirito So this is basically what, the Food Fight of video games?
Kirito Honestly, I hope it was developed like a month before release. At least then I could understand.

You guys have to know. Sometime, somewhere on this planet... this game... this very game... is going to define the childhood of a human being.
Fat, Fatter and the Fattest Valentine we call those people "deprived normies". they weren't given anything palpable, so they turned to other media for entertainment.
Blinx the Cat defined my childhood.
TheWaverunners that wasnt a bad game.
Fat, Fatter and the Fattest Valentine my childhood defining mediocre game was Oni, the game made by Rockstar and Bungie, before they made GTA III and Halo, respectively.
Oh now he puts his strength up no problem!
Clowndoe Haha. Yup. I was like, "Finally! ...oh, wait... wrong game. Damn it."
JohnnyBMused They just look so similar...
Clowndoe and the fact that he's a Mage just rubs it in
Now that I have this video evidence that Liam is a sadist, I can easily finalize my calculations which conclude that *Woolie* will be the first to try to go solo.
When there's no endurance to upgrade, Pat finally puts points into strength.
MAGUS,
Where you play as a bald Kakyoin in whoeverthefuckcares-vania, fighting imperial guards from Oblivion.
madvertiz0r This game would be made 10 times better if your guy kept screaming HEIROPHANTO GUREEEEEEEEEEEEEN and EMERARDO SPURAAAAAASHHHHHHU every time you pressed the fire button, but I don't know if even that would save it.
rero rero
I'm REEEALLY happy I already knew about that before I read your comment.
I can't believe my eyes, Pat raised his strength stat *MY EYES ARE LIARS!*
Kaiser Roll You have Woolie eyes.
Why do I come back to this video daily? This is too great.
Seriously, I want a full playthrough of this.
So apparently this came out last year. Jesus Christ.
Are you serious? Holy shit.
***** Dear god you're right. February 2014.
***** No your lying stop it.
***** Jesus can't save you now.
Descourouez Release Date: February 25, 2014
The Liam arc is now in full swing
Liam is passively taking over other LPs on the channel
***** That makes me wonder when the Borutos of the Zaibatsu will make an appearance. With Liam to lead them.
***** Speedrunning all games all time!
>During the launch trailer:
"I don't know guys, this doesn't look that bad for a PS2 game."
>Pat says its on the PS3
*throws up everywhere*
***** Get ready to thru up more. This was released last year.
TroopperFoFo
*AGRLBRARGBLBLBLGLRDLGAFG*
TroopperFoFo Wow! The devs wanted to hide its origins so bad that they didn't even bother to put the game's copyright date on the title screen.
The Froyuken Files I'm actually surprised that ArcSys put their name on this.
MeleeMaster MAA Aksys, not ArcSys.
This is like, the 5th time I've watched this one. One of their best videos in my opinion. I demand a full LP!
My biggest fear is to try very hard at making the best game I could ever make... and that something like this would come out... and not being able to see the mistakes I've made.
So many mistakes.
Nicoyutub I hear ya, bro, but let this game be a lesson on what NOT to do in game design.
Nicoyutub
It's actually not that hard to avoid making this game.

I thought that soldier enemy was an Imperial Watchman from Oblivion at first

Your first power is green colored?
Woolie made this game.
Either that or he tested it and the only thing he said was wrong was that there wasn't enough green.
Henry Buehler That's the reason the external collisions are fine.
I was literally about to comment "Woolie made this game" when I saw this. 10/10 sir.
Henry Buehler Excerpt from the bug database: Listen, this blue power energy doesn't feel as powerful from a player's perspective as I would have hoped, I would have expected a more powerful color such as a strong glowing green or purple to emphasize the player's empowerment.

If only we could all live vicariously through Troy Baker.
Not even five minutes in, this game is gonna be an experience.
Oh no
OOOOOOH NOOOOOOOOO
OH YEEEEEEEEEEEAH....
lol
Shadow13Chaos What are you doing here Old Joseph?

SANAMABEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEACH!
This game is literally that game you see a kid play in the background of a 90s TV show
"I can't believe this" Pat - 2015
Was Pat just Eggman all along?
PresidentOwnage Don't try to tell me that hadn't occurred to you...
Jeedy Jay No because today I was going to enjoy the new mystery box episode but I guess for everyone else it was Tuesday
PresidentOwnage Pat is egggman? No way!
I can't believe this!
PresidentOwnage Oh, by all means, do. I just mean that Pat's Eggman-esque tendencies haven't exactly been hidden. The others even joked about it in one of the spindash videos.
"Would you like to play Persona, Sonic? IN HELL!?"
Pat does love a good pingas joke
Guys, look at the Magus Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magus_(video_game)
Plot: "Magus has been imprisoned in a tower in the Waterfall Kingdom and tortured for years - he's too legit to quit, he's hot to trot, he's stylin' and profilin'."
Holy God, you're not joking.
Did Matt write that article?
Let it be known that 8:36 was the moment that the Bloodborne playthrough finally got itself back on track.
Oh my god, the protagonist is voiced by Patrick Seitz, who does Scorpion in Mortal Kombat, Ragna in Blazblue and DIO in the Jojo dub
HOW, JUST HOW.
+LuckyHazama JoJo has a dub. WTF?
I'm commander shepard and this is my least favorite cameo I'm in.
mark Ervine ...I don't understand. Jennifer Hale isn't in this game.
THEY ALL SOUND THE SAME!!! All i hear is Laura Bailey/Ali Hills/Jennifer Hale, it is starting to get boring
Hale is one of the greatest voice actors of our generation. Unlike Sheploo who just can't sound convincing as a badass (making a renegade playthrough boring) Hale can portray the same character with different personalities. Plus she has good range. Most people wouldn't know that she is Alex in Eternal Darkness or Tanya in Mortal Kombat unless they were told it was Hale. You should check out her full list of roles shes been in freaking everything.
Why are some of you assuming I'm talking about femshep? I'm talking about the protagonist I never once made any indicationI was talking about female shepard otherwise I would have called them fem shep geez.
Commander Shepard is the protagonist...so you were talking about Jennifer Hale
That Hud looks like what happens when you take an old PC game and force it into HD.
You know you're in for a ride when the game's audio fucks up during the logo.
Holy shit, this game is so bad. I feel awful for knowing that it exists.
I love how they decided that fire is green and necromancy is red
13:55 It's 5 years later, and Pat was right (for once). This game looks way more dated than like Crash Bandicoot or Mario 64.
I swear to God, this could be an Xbox indie game
Liara's VA has to pay the bills.
23:00 I simply love this gag of casually addressing Matt's alcoholism and his response basically being "maybe your being the problem!" it helps explain how things later went down XD
This is the biggest piece of "They just didn't care" since The Attack of the the Eye Creatures.
this game is basically demons souls
The Pickles lol
SuperPowerfulPeewee
My go-to fantasy-ish third person action games with RPG leanings and giant glowy magic shmup bullets are NieR and Bullet Witch.
This writing is really good
"Two prisoners just escaped"
"Really,when?"
Of all the things to ask he choose to ask when
"OOHHHH NOOOOOO!"
Pat has turned into Joseph Joestar.
I remember this game being on racks and i was absolutely stunned about how bad it looked. I genuinely thought it was a prank.
What? No blue-haired man with a scythe? I feel so betraaaaayed.
Now that they have the OG xbox we need to see Blinx
They've already name dropped it in the podcast multiple times
what are you even saying
Blinx is the best game ever made c'mon now
Blinx is the hero we all deserve
All jokes aside the game was pretty fun
Eduardo Lopez Blinx 2 was my childhood tbh
I'm surprised they didn't take the 'you're batshit insane' right away.
I tought Torrente 3 was the worst game you could ever play, I'm glad I was so wrong.
I force my skeleton to chew my food for me.
*Obey my whims, bones*
When is the next Matt & Pat let's play?
Seriously. I love all the guys but there is just nothing like the original dynamic duo.
Pat rules 5ever
Kuti210 They just finished Revelations like 2 weeks ago.
Kuti210 they recently finished Revelations, the only lets play going right now is bloodborne, so give it some time yo
Kuti210 I don't really care. I am just waiting for another Cryme Tyme.
Kuti210 Matt x Pat OTP
Look at you Pat. Actually putting points into strength. Baby steps.
OH GOD IT'S THIS GAME
GO CHECK THE WIKIPEDIA EDIT HISTORY FOR THIS
Screwy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magus_%28video_game%29
Screwy Reading through these is more of a magical adventure than the game itself could ever be.
LegallyBlindGaming
as if the eye diarrhea I experienced wasn't enough this fucking wiki just started rhyming at me.
Trust me, I also thought it was fake.
Screwy I'm not adept at looking through the edit history, but I was happy to find "Magus aka Smack Daddy Supreme".
Wow, they downgraded the shit out of The Witcher 3.
That one got me good.
+Alex Morozov More like they downgraded Orcs Must Die.
+Alex Morozov Mac edition.
Thank you for saying that about female voice actors lately Pat, I've been noticing that too and it bugs the dicks out of me.
One of the benefits of having a mystery box series with a description that doesn't give away the game is having more people click on the video, increase traffic. Normally I'd be a little upset at such a clever play but in the case of Best Friends I really don't mind.
***** they only make money for how much time people spend watching tho
***** honestly I don't even think it's a clever way of getting views, I think they just like the idea of the mystery video. It's a mystery to them and us.
WigglyLoose then again, I bet a lot of people wouldn't click on The Magus, but once it hits their eyeballs they can't look away for the full 38 minutes
***** They addressed this on the podcast. TH-cam only counts views if someone watches about halfway through the video.
Darrisbob1 Interesting. I haven't been keeping up on the podcasts lately but that makes sense. If someone really wanted to they could get a bot to just load the video thousands of times and exploit the system.
There is one physically-imposing baldman that worked as a spell dude and that's Jon Irenicus from BG2.
But a big part of what made him awesome was David Warner's enthralling voice.
7:43
Pat going, "Oh, no..." in that cadence can summarize a lot of things that have the potential to upset me or fill me with dread.
"YOU LITERALLY TELL A SKELETON TO KILL ITSELF"
9.5/10 - IGN (because we can only give call of duty and ea games 10)
Mystery Box intro makes me so happy.
8:40 Pat finally leveled up his Strength instead of Endurance! If only he did that in the game he needs to do it in.
This is basically Dragon Age: Inquisition
10/10 Game of the year
5:06
*shudders*
"Black eyes, like a doll's eyes..."
Man Witcher 3 looks amazing!!
Man, Akuji the Heartless needs to happen on this channel. I loved that game.
Also, that chick, your ally, is godlike. Look at that tanking power.
It cracks me up every time in the intro when skele-matt has a flesh-matt face on his cap.
man you know you play to many videos games when you can tell every voice actor now. the min i heard the woman talk i knew it was Ali Hillis
Pat finally leveled strength. 8:35
I was giggling like an idiot threw this entire episode, or absolutely loosing my shit. I've still been giggling for 10 minutes after this video.
I know it wont happen, but I really, really, really want this to be a full LP.
here you put your strength up huh
AxleNo7
please make pat and liam play bad games then teach game design a series
_"What just happened to me? I feel... different."_
_"You are a god."_
Okay. Pause. I lost my shit. First off: WHAT. Second off: That was the most flaccid delivery I've seen in long time. Tommy Wiseau could pitch a better line! Third off: Already a minute in and I gotta have a pause break. Holy fucking shit.
Holding short swords like that, one normally and one in reverse grip, is actually not a bad stance. It allows you to block incoming attacks with the reverse, even bracing the flat side against the forearm if necessary, while still leaving both swords available for offensive strikes.
I immediately regret watching this mystery. Zaibatsu, my eyes have melted from the visuals!
I love that in the intro they gave pat skeleton eyebrows, just so theycould point inward and he could look angry, his entire skull besides that is exactly the same XD
_"Everything about this looks good"_
_~ Patsworth Boruto, 2001-2020_
Lady VA directors? Well, there's also friggin' Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who did a little nothing anime called Cowboy Bebop. >_>
Oh, and Andrea Romano, who did the entirety of the DC Animated Universe and Avatar, among several other things.
Guys look Pat finally upgraded strength!
No wait this isn't Bloodborne
These intros never get old.
He FINALLY leveled strength!
I really want a full LP of this.
One of the guards sound like they're voiced by Liam O'Brien, and the main character sounds like he's voiced by Patrick Seitz.
You know what this Magus guy needs? More endurance.
Man Dark souls 3 really took a turn for the worse...
Wowee Zowee Noo this is mass effect lol
I really like how the protagonist looks, stands, and runs like some sort of bow legged, inept generic-man babby that's poorly recovering from a tragic chunneling accident.
The enemies are trying to tell you to play For Honor instead.
i really like the intro of these mystery boxes! one of my favorites!
Sleepy... not because I was baking in the sun for 2-hours and sleeping on the way home waiting for buses.
Liam I want to thank you for finding this gem and bringing it to us.
Keep in mind, people, that this game came out on February 25th, 2014. Let that sink in.
It looks like a 3D version of that 2D Sub-zero adventure game.
He finally leveled strength. Took long enough.
HOOOOLY SHIT HE UPGRADED HIS STRENGTH!
Not just Ali Hillis, I think I also heard Liam O'Brien as the second boss and Patrick Seitz somewhere in there.
If this were not a retail game that cost money, but instead, a student project, I would think "someday, these people are gonna make a real video game"
7:09
Yeah, just gain your powers from Slimer's ghost carcass.
Funny story: "She sounds like Lightning" is actually a factually correct statement. I'm 99% certain this voice actor is Ali Hillis, also known as Lightning Farron, also known as Liara T'soni, also known as Akane Kurashiki, also known as Dr. Ariel Hanson.
I feel so bad for her.
UE3 is all about buckets of primary colors.
Oh god. You guys are finally playing Magus. Game of the year contender right there.
OH MY GOD when the girl started figure skating i died laughing xD
Holy crap! Pat finally pumped strength!
All we need is Troy Baker and Nolan North?
I would totally petition for those two to do a Bible Black LP and discuss it on the podcast.
so, coming to this video from watching bloodborne...
8:36
GUYS! he finally put his strength up!
This is the post apocalyptic T-pose culture you were hoping for.
I feel like this is a game made by someone who said, "I want my game to do this, and this, and that, and all of this other stuff! But I only have twenty bucks and this shoe."
At first glance, I thought this was a PS2 game. No lie.
Mecha Buu there are higher quality PS2 games than this piece of crap.
I've never heard of this game.... ever....
The very moment I get into the game industry, I am taking this concept, doing it in anime or something style and making this concept so cool and such that noone will even link it to this game because of how cool it will be.
