You guys really have helped me out a lot. I have depression and your videos always make me laugh. I'm always excited to see any new videos you have. Long live Retsupurae. Glad to see that you guys are really nice and not assholes like most of the other youtubers.
I remember staring at my monitor in borderline disbelief around PAX when Slowbeef got rid of his cowlick and Diabetus grew a beard. Now Slowbeef has one to match and he's seriously slimmed down. Seems like everyone's getting a makeover. Before we know it, Ironicus will actually become a handsome black man.
Surprisingly well put together panel. You sounded so nervous and unprepared in the podcasts, but you really shined through. Really good job. Bonus round: Count how many times slowbeef says "y'know"
Never realized how much Slowbeef looks like Billy Mays with that beard. But really, this was great and you guys are great people! I got all warm and fuzzy inside when Slowbeef gave that guy the free capture card.
Very sharp and witty panel. Laughed out loud during various segments. I liked the fact that it felt so casual and you managed to subtly make fun of panels during the chaos. Some of the audience was pretty sharp too.
Really enjoyed the panel. Had tons of laughs while watching this at work. Wish I could have been in there in person. I'd also like to thank you guys for keeping me entertained for the past 6 years of my life. Certainly put some laughs and joy in my life throughout. You guys are the greatest.
This is awesome, and so are you guys. Your videos have helped me pull through some horrible times, and it's always been a great thing for me to try and get new people to see your videos. It's even made me think about paying the $10 to see what SA's like! Keep it up!
It's actually how you'd say it in Japanese, meaning the TH-cam concept of "Let's Play". (Actually, there's an error, it should be 'retsupurei') I was teaching myself Japanese at the time. It's not supposed to refer to Asian stereotypes and it wouldn't make sense if it did.
To extrapolate on this, "ice cream" in Japanese is "aisukurimu" (a-i-su-ku-ri-mu - - romanized since it's a loan word) and "melon" is "meron." Saying these things out loud sounds like an Asian stereotype because of the l/r thing and the ending in "oo" (u) sounds, but those are the words and roughly how you pronounce them. I think saying let's play (as in "let us play") would be "asobishimashou" Regardless, the title is fairly nonsense; there was no weird intention behind the name.
retsupurae Weren't the Japanese, being a mountainous island, predominantly isolated from the rest of the world throughout most of their history, and thus developed their own unique language not that similar to any other? That makes the pronunciation of the english "let's play" to sound like "retsupurei" all the more ironic! Thanks for the enlightenment.
***** I think he thought that they were saying that the Japanese name for "Let's Play" _independently_ came about as "retsupurei" by coincidence, rather than it just being an English loan word.
couldn't stop laughing through all of this. digging cherrydoom's outfit, and its great to see how fun-loving and witty the RP boys are on the spot. Great stuff, gents.
An excellent panel. Genuinely funny but still pretty laid back. And it was friggin' awesome that you guys gave away a capture card to an aspiring LPer. Maybe he'll become famous, corrupted by power, and then you will RP him in some sort of glorious ouroboros of video games. Hoping that they have more, because if I ever get to one, I have a question regarding an old RP.
This was probably one of the most laid back, least awkward panels I have ever seen. It was also really cool when Slowbeef gave the guy an Elgato. You guys are awesome.
retsupurae He can't go to Texas? Or a long lasting rivalry with Rooster Teeth? Or he hates panels? If he wants he could just get up and talk with you for no longer than 10 minutes, because that is the TH-cam limit.
Douce1337 Eh, Proteus is busy plus he doesn't do stuff he doesn't want to. You can't do much about that, it's just the way he is. He's kinda like a force of nature in that sense, he just kinda wills his anger onto things he deems worthy of his dry wit. Things that deserve to be made fun of. He's the hero we need, but not the one we deserve right now.
***** I wouldn't say he's Vegeta. I don't think he would get physically violent, but he certainly would beat someone over the head with a verbal bat made of insults.
Great panel guys. It definitely did not seem like your first one. Oh and Diabetus' Mega Buster line was one of the best he's delivered. I'm already excited for the panel next year! 3/10
These guys are modest about their ability. I'd rank them up there with the "professional" riffers and comedians as far as playing off each other and ability to entertain the audience is concerned. If they didn't mention it, I wouldn't think this was their first panel. I can't wait for the next one, hopefully I can be there.
I thought a live Retsupurae thing might be a little awkward or something but it's actually one of the funniest things you guys have done. Keep up the good work.
I think Slowbeef lampshaded it when people told Diabetus he looked hot in the 'Adults React to Pewdiepie' video and Betus was like 'let's not talk about that' but yeah he is lol.
That was great! You bring so much joy in my and other people's lives just by making these fun videos and everything, so it's always awesome to see you guys still breaking new ground every so often after like 6 years of doing this and still having fun doing it, now with the whole panel and live-action RPing and stuff. We'd all be fine with you just making retsupuraes (not that we're entitled to any of that of course) but you go the extra mile and do podcasts with guests and panels and everything now. That was super-nice of you to give that guy a capture card to make LPs. He must've been surprised as hell. Just another reason why we love you guys. Man, this post sounds sentimental as fuck. But whatever...! Also, beef didn't even say "what do you call it?" once in this video!!
I was 11 when I first started watching Retsupurae back in 2008 and I've loved them ever since. They've helped me get through a hard time in my life where I was bullied constantly at school. But them and Toonami(YEAH DBZ FOR LIFE BETUS-which in all honesty is pretty cool that Betus is a big or well I assume 'big' DBZ fan.)helped me out a lot and I don't care how old the two of them get, I hope they do this for a long time. I mean the MST3K guys are in their *50s* but they're still riffing.
It's so awesome to match the voices to faces. I hope you guys go to the next RTX!! I need to see you guys live because I can't really express how happy you all make me.
Man I'm sure they totally love all the comments on their appearance and not on the actual panel content. But really, you guys are genuinely funny even just as two friends talking (to a group of people). I'm excited to see you guys do more of this kind of stuff, hopefully at more than just RTX!
I really loved seeing this panel! You guys were great, slowbeef was killing it and Diabetus was funny as always. I hope you guys do more in the future.
For years and years of following these guys, being finally able to match their voices to their faces is just, mind boggling. Regardless, funny as fuck panel
This was a fun video. I've never seen the face of diabetus before so that was pretty interesting. Great panel, you guys are just as funny in person. Wish I could have been there.
I've listened and watched retsupurae for awhile and I continue to love listening to the things you guys do and say, let's plays from each of you are also rather good to the point I'd like to take it up someday in the future. It's always fun listening to you guys just before I sleep, because it's either hilarious or just downright fun to listen to. (especially the lime lime time laughter) I hope more people decide to view you guys, and your fans and community grow even more. Thanks for being who you guys are.
Here's another "You guys totally deserved this opportunity, I'm glad to see it went so well, I hope things get even better for you guys" for the pile. Seriously, though, I don't remember the exact date I started watching Retsupurae, but I remember the video: When "Let's Play Mirror's Edge As Soon As Possible!" was still a recent upload. Still happy to be a subscriber.
Been eagerly awaiting the upload of this for the past week searching "rtx retsupurae" several times a day since at least Tuesday. Great job with your first panel guys! If another one happens I'll be sure to attend. Could see how nervous you were in the beginning but you guys really came into your groove. Keep up the great work, you both bring a lot of entertainment into my life.
I think the best part of the whole panel was slowbeef doing that spit take. You may be saying, "spit takes aren't funny!" I would concur! However the story behind the spit take; slowbeef asked someone who was running the panel if he could do a spit take for emphasis. The people running the place were very adamant about not letting it happen... And slowbeef somehow completely forgot (or just didnt care) and ended up doing the spit take anyway!
I could see reviewing soda. If it's like weird foreign soda, or something. Like Brad Jones does with Brad Tries, but exclusively soda-based. It could work. By the way, Betus is top qt.
Since it doesn't add anything to the quality of videos you make then it's pointless to claim that title unless you just want to draw attention. Thankfully Slowbeef is not that kind of guy.
I honestly figured we'd get like 30-40, but even the RTX Guardian was like "wow, we had more people than expected." The official count was 101 before we went in - who knows how many came/left in the 20 minutes between then and the panel starting.
retsupurae Wow, that's a lot of people. Just think of how many of them probably bought plane tickets and booked a hotel JUST so they could see you guys do this panel. Best fan base ever.
i was so excited to see this and when it wasn't livestreamed i was super bummed, so im very glad it was uploaded! better than expected. shit like this has the potential to be awkward and forced but you guys were fucking hilarious. gg. thanks for being awesome and uploading this at the perfect time for me to watch while sick in bed and be less miserable!
This was really entertaining, despite what your own riffing on it would suggest. Thanks a lot for everything you do guys. It sounds weird, but I got into watching other Lets Plays from this channel when I wanted to start watching quality ones (starting with yours). It has become one of my favorite things to watch and has always given me something to do when down. I never thought seeing someone get a capture card would be so heartwarming, but it was. You two are really good guys and I hope you keep it up for a while :)
Cherrydoom looks cool. I'm guessing, it's the costume from Drive, bu I never saw the movie myself, just few short clips from it, so first thing I thought of, for some reason, was Travis Touchdown -_- Because of the sunglasses, maybe.
I was happy to see Cherrydoom's face for the first time. I hate LP's and stuff where one's face is always shown, but I'd like to put a face to a name sometimes. I've seen the other 2 before. Well, that's off my bucket list. I'd like to see what Dave_O looks like now. I think of someone like the "Good Guy Greg" meme guy or one of the guys from The Meat Puppets.
It's up and down - they have some really good stuff apparently, but we've only ever been pointed at the bad, so... ...I don't know. I don't really have a problem with them or anything; maybe someday we'll RP them, maybe not? I don't know.
See, I'm ok with people talking about random stuff with gameplay as background, as long as the conversation is interesting, or at the very least, entertaining. The problem with Gamegrumps is that a lot of times, they're neither. They run out of things to say and they just start making fart noises, beatboxing, or just fooling around. I'm sure they had a lot of fun making the video, but it's not even half as fun watching it. Another thing, is that I find easier to tolerate the "talk about bullshit while a game plays in the background", if the one playing is somewhat competent at the game. With the Game Grumps, a lot of times they know nothing about the game, they start talking about bullshit, skip and ignore every tutorial or instructions, and then they get stuck in the early game not knowing what to do. And then they start shitting on the game "This game is stupid, it's not telling me what to do" "why is the game so dumb", when it's not the game's fault. And that's pretty annoying.
retsupurae They are not consistent and honestly I'm not going to try to defend them anymore. How the hell do you play Toejam and Earl and never use the presents? Applesgosh and his monthly "Best of Game Grumps" series does a pretty good job of sifting through the crap to find the nuggets of entertainment, you might want to look at some of those videos.
retsupurae As with anyone who churns out a fuckton of content, you get a ton of pure shit... but a few bits of gold pop out from time to time. As a fan of GG, I'd actually like to see you dig into them for some of their particularly bad videos. They really fucking need it at times. Their fanbase has gotten so big that there are even less funny/interesting moments because the lowest common denominator rules. If you're looking for some of their better videos, you're more likely to see it in Jon and Dan's first few respective months on the channel, especially Jon's era. Most of the "best of" videos and animated bits fans made give an idea of their better moments if you don't feel like sifting through the archive. I'm sure everyone's already given you suggestions for their worst videos.
I don't really see the "they have some good stuff" point, because most of the youtubers you have Rp'd had/do have good stuff, you just picked a video that you can tear into. It's not like they have thousands of good videos and only one bad one. They have so many options, so many terrible videos I'm suprised not a single person has ripped into them in depth. But I guess it isn't my choice to make :/
"It was basically like "do you read 'something sensible' or any sites that just kinda hate you?" and I was like "Yeah, but you really have to try not to let that stuff get to you, or you'd go nuts" I then made a joke like "thanks for bringing up awkward shit at our panel!" and even though I meant it (and think it came across) jokingly, the guy felt really bad and apologized and we were like "no, no, it's fine!" but I felt bad so we excluded it."
I didn't know about you guys until today because of tweet from immortal hd saying he wished he saw your panel. That comment made me wonder, so I looked this video up. After watching the first 20 min I can already tell that I'm going to end up subscribing. I have found a hidden gem!
Nice panel guys! I'm a little curious what the cut question was though. Was it awkward on your guys' part or the guy asking the question? Or was it just a mess altogether?
wow, you'd think at a live event it might be harder to come up with good jokes but they were just on the ball. betus especially was at the top of his game, i have no idea how he comes up with some of that shit so fast. great panel.
Excellent mic grip Beef! Almost as good as the comic timing on your pauses! Though you seemed nervous at first it was good to see you settle into it. Plus, I'm so glad you finally did Project Enfinity, it's like the Everest of bad LP intros.
Y'know, everyone is complementing Diabetus' looks, but I think Slowbeef deserves a shoutout on that front as well. He's really rocking that beard, too.
I'm glad the panel went this well, I do panels at cons too for anime and the sort and know well how rough holding a panel can be, and I can honestly say, you guys did spot on perfect. You had good conversations, good material to show others, VERY generous gifts for the people, and all in all, an enjoyable experience. Well done Slowbeef, Diabetus, and CherryDoom!
HOLY SHIT, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU RIFFED THE ENFINITY GUYS, I TOTALLY MISSED THAT. That's what I get for sleeping in late like a bum, I guess. I just barely made it to the panel in time. Good show, you guys, it was the best panel I attended at RTX. (and, curiously, the most well scheduled/organized)
I have a question when are you going to have Raocow in a podcast? Vote this up if you think this is a good idea, because they have hinted at it and Raocow has mentioned Slowbeef before in a video.
James Sunderland My favorite thing about TH-cam videos is now people who watch panels that are about people who watch other people playing video games bragging about what being "ripped" really means.
MarleyBM199 "if he makes le statement he must be le jelly :^)" No fuck off, I'm prolly the same size as Betus but about 4 inches taller. Stay mad manlets.
Voxel Composer I never heard any official statement saying Slowbeef was a smoker but I could always HEAR him lighting up in retsupuraes and sometimes speaking in a muffled voice as though he had a cigarette in his mouth.
That was probably the only panel i've ever watched fully. These guys genuinely funny, great people.
not as great as gabe though, right? *nudge**nudge*
Agreed
when da next movie night?
Pretty much. Also the first time I've seen Betus so there's that.
Hell yeah they are, and it's really cool that even with Public Speaking problems Slowbeef was hilarious.
You guys have no idea how fun it was watching your fun commentaries on games. Appreciate it alot ^^
Class act giving that guy a new capture device.
I'll give him a year before he gets retsupuraed.
I love how you two are combating the public speaking thing by just talking to each other.
You guys really have helped me out a lot. I have depression and your videos always make me laugh. I'm always excited to see any new videos you have. Long live Retsupurae. Glad to see that you guys are really nice and not assholes like most of the other youtubers.
I'm stoked to see that you guys got to host a panel, it's about damn time. Hopefully someday I'll be able to come and see you guys, that'd be awesome.
We got invited back to RTX 2015, so there's another opportunity!
Glad to hear it. Hopefully I'll be able to fly on down to Texas and see you guys.
retsupurae I know where I'm going in 2015.
NitroRad Make sure you reserve your hotel ahead of time so you can brag to everyone.
did you go?
I remember staring at my monitor in borderline disbelief around PAX when Slowbeef got rid of his cowlick and Diabetus grew a beard. Now Slowbeef has one to match and he's seriously slimmed down.
Seems like everyone's getting a makeover. Before we know it, Ironicus will actually become a handsome black man.
Implying that he's not one already.
Brood Elin He is in our hearts, at least
Surprisingly well put together panel. You sounded so nervous and unprepared in the podcasts, but you really shined through. Really good job.
Bonus round: Count how many times slowbeef says "y'know"
It's less than in the podcasts at least!
Just throwing that out there
basically
You know what it is?
Woah. I had no idea what cherrydoom looked like, but goddamn cherrydoom looks like a straight up boss.
That is not Cherrydoom. That was Ryan Gosling, a real human bean.
eeyuup i appreciate the shit out of that reference.
Never realized how much Slowbeef looks like Billy Mays with that beard.
But really, this was great and you guys are great people! I got all warm and fuzzy inside when Slowbeef gave that guy the free capture card.
Very sharp and witty panel. Laughed out loud during various segments. I liked the fact that it felt so casual and you managed to subtly make fun of panels during the chaos. Some of the audience was pretty sharp too.
Really enjoyed the panel. Had tons of laughs while watching this at work. Wish I could have been in there in person.
I'd also like to thank you guys for keeping me entertained for the past 6 years of my life. Certainly put some laughs and joy in my life throughout. You guys are the greatest.
dude it made me tear up when yall gave that capture card away. seriously, good job on being some rad dudes
Is it just me, or were these two just perfectly in-sync with the crowd? Diabetus and Slowbeef can pull of a stand-up act super well together.
What a couple o' hunks. Thanks for uploading!
This wrongpurae was filmed in front of a live studio audience.
*for a limited time.
look at the TIME on this video, GAL-lee its gonna be long!
your chemistry is amazing
This is awesome, and so are you guys. Your videos have helped me pull through some horrible times, and it's always been a great thing for me to try and get new people to see your videos. It's even made me think about paying the $10 to see what SA's like! Keep it up!
Ryan Gosling has such a different voice live.
Now get Proteus to riff this video.
I'd kickstart it.
Brood Elin
I'd make a flash game where your goal is to kickstart it and put it on NewGrounds.
Brood Elin Retsupay for it.
Brood Elin Will you need $500,000?
Beef n' Betus was filmed before a live studio audience!
RTX was my first experience with retsupurae (due to their epic of a description).
I am now subscribed.
Did I... did I seriously get an ad for DSP Gaming at the halfway point? Jesus, TH-cam.
I just realized "retsupurae" is how a Japanese stereotype would say "Let's play."
This has completely changed the way I perceive this channel now...
It's actually how you'd say it in Japanese, meaning the TH-cam concept of "Let's Play". (Actually, there's an error, it should be 'retsupurei') I was teaching myself Japanese at the time. It's not supposed to refer to Asian stereotypes and it wouldn't make sense if it did.

Regardless, the title is fairly nonsense; there was no weird intention behind the name.

Thanks for the enlightenment.
***** I think he thought that they were saying that the Japanese name for "Let's Play" _independently_ came about as "retsupurei" by coincidence, rather than it just being an English loan word.
Fun fact: The japanese didn't have a word for "Let's Play" before the Internet was invented.
couldn't stop laughing through all of this. digging cherrydoom's outfit, and its great to see how fun-loving and witty the RP boys are on the spot. Great stuff, gents.
You watch RP ? Damn.
Ghost7856 So... Why are you watching this podcast if you *don't* watch Retsupurae?
An excellent panel. Genuinely funny but still pretty laid back. And it was friggin' awesome that you guys gave away a capture card to an aspiring LPer. Maybe he'll become famous, corrupted by power, and then you will RP him in some sort of glorious ouroboros of video games.
Hoping that they have more, because if I ever get to one, I have a question regarding an old RP.
Honestly, this is the best panel I've ever seen. Also the only one ever where I've watched the entire thing.
Retsupurae, you made me happy.
You're very good at making people happy.
Thank you.
This was probably one of the most laid back, least awkward panels I have ever seen. It was also really cool when Slowbeef gave the guy an Elgato. You guys are awesome.
They're much more handsome than I anticipated.
Is it me or does Slowbeef look like Richard Carn?
You know you've made it when you have people shouting the names of the people you mock for the first few minutes straight.
You guys finally got a panel! You came a long way retsu. Dem feels.
Next panel with the inclusion of Proteus and Psychadelic Eyeball?
There is no force in the world that could put Proteus at that table.
retsupurae He can't go to Texas? Or a long lasting rivalry with Rooster Teeth? Or he hates panels? If he wants he could just get up and talk with you for no longer than 10 minutes, because that is the TH-cam limit.
retsupurae
Physical force.
Douce1337 Eh, Proteus is busy plus he doesn't do stuff he doesn't want to. You can't do much about that, it's just the way he is. He's kinda like a force of nature in that sense, he just kinda wills his anger onto things he deems worthy of his dry wit. Things that deserve to be made fun of. He's the hero we need, but not the one we deserve right now.
***** I wouldn't say he's Vegeta. I don't think he would get physically violent, but he certainly would beat someone over the head with a verbal bat made of insults.
It's weird to see Diabeetus. From his voice I kind of imagine him to look kind of different. Slowbeef not so much, for some odd reason!?
I always imagined Slowbeef to look like Randal from Clerks.
Not sure why, but I got that impression from a lot of their earlier videos
Chris Graham Betus was in the PDP reaction thing reading the video titles
The first time I saw them was in that pewdiepie video, and until then I imagined them as the opposite of how they looked.
TyakaB Betus was the guy at 1:40? Are you sure? He doesn't appear in the cast, and the voice is a bit off.
I thought Betus was chubbier. You know, the reason why he called himself Diabetus. And what is Betus' real name anyway?
Great panel guys. It definitely did not seem like your first one. Oh and Diabetus' Mega Buster line was one of the best he's delivered. I'm already excited for the panel next year! 3/10
I can't stop smiling, you guys were fantastic
These guys are modest about their ability. I'd rank them up there with the "professional" riffers and comedians as far as playing off each other and ability to entertain the audience is concerned. If they didn't mention it, I wouldn't think this was their first panel. I can't wait for the next one, hopefully I can be there.
I thought a live Retsupurae thing might be a little awkward or something but it's actually one of the funniest things you guys have done. Keep up the good work.
I don't know whether Beetus likes people commenting on his appearance.
but he's pretty hot.
I think Slowbeef lampshaded it when people told Diabetus he looked hot in the 'Adults React to Pewdiepie' video and Betus was like 'let's not talk about that' but yeah he is lol.
That was great! You bring so much joy in my and other people's lives just by making these fun videos and everything, so it's always awesome to see you guys still breaking new ground every so often after like 6 years of doing this and still having fun doing it, now with the whole panel and live-action RPing and stuff. We'd all be fine with you just making retsupuraes (not that we're entitled to any of that of course) but you go the extra mile and do podcasts with guests and panels and everything now.
That was super-nice of you to give that guy a capture card to make LPs. He must've been surprised as hell.
Just another reason why we love you guys.
Man, this post sounds sentimental as fuck. But whatever...!
Also, beef didn't even say "what do you call it?" once in this video!!
I was 11 when I first started watching Retsupurae back in 2008 and I've loved them ever since. They've helped me get through a hard time in my life where I was bullied constantly at school. But them and Toonami(YEAH DBZ FOR LIFE BETUS-which in all honesty is pretty cool that Betus is a big or well I assume 'big' DBZ fan.)helped me out a lot and I don't care how old the two of them get, I hope they do this for a long time. I mean the MST3K guys are in their *50s* but they're still riffing.
Wow, that was great! You guys really brought your A-game! Hope you guys can get that chance to do more of these, it seemed like a lot of fun.
It's so awesome to match the voices to faces. I hope you guys go to the next RTX!! I need to see you guys live because I can't really express how happy you all make me.
Man I'm sure they totally love all the comments on their appearance and not on the actual panel content.
But really, you guys are genuinely funny even just as two friends talking (to a group of people). I'm excited to see you guys do more of this kind of stuff, hopefully at more than just RTX!
Well they could, and they could get paid for it, maybe go to Europe, but it all depends on if slowbeef actually checks his hmmm...
Leeroyhim Captainqwark10 This is probably the wrong comment to respond to but you had a panel too, Leeroyhim?
Primekillerboy Yes I did. I missed this because one person was behind schedule so we had tho change everything at the last minute.
I really loved seeing this panel! You guys were great, slowbeef was killing it and Diabetus was funny as always. I hope you guys do more in the future.
For years and years of following these guys, being finally able to match their voices to their faces is just, mind boggling. Regardless, funny as fuck panel
Imagine my surprise when I first saw Jim Sterling. For months I had thought I was listening to a 16-year-old.
uthertheking lol before I thought they were both 17 when I started watching them
It warmed my heart when slowbeef gave him that capture card. You guys are just the greatest.
Made two startling discoveries watching this panel.
1.) The Retsupurae duo look nothing like how I envisioned them.
2.) They are two handsome guys.
I'm super glad you guys posted this on TH-cam. Thank you so much, loved watching the entire panel
probably the funniest retsupurae content i've seen recently. good job on the panel, guys!
Wow, slowbeef lost a lot of weight!
Yeah, damn
are you digging him right now?
Locomamonk
yea ♂
Well he did have a baby, being pregnant add a few pounds Gawd don't you know science.
Red Knucks Can't tell if joking or stupid.
They should've gotten Mike Dawson to guest on their panel.
Dammit wish I could've came out to support you guys love the TH-cam vids, btw great panel
This was a fun video. I've never seen the face of diabetus before so that was pretty interesting.
Great panel, you guys are just as funny in person. Wish I could have been there.
I've listened and watched retsupurae for awhile and I continue to love listening to the things you guys do and say, let's plays from each of you are also rather good to the point I'd like to take it up someday in the future.
It's always fun listening to you guys just before I sleep, because it's either hilarious or just downright fun to listen to. (especially the lime lime time laughter) I hope more people decide to view you guys, and your fans and community grow even more. Thanks for being who you guys are.
Also it's a shame I live in the UK as I would've loves to come to a panel.
Here's another "You guys totally deserved this opportunity, I'm glad to see it went so well, I hope things get even better for you guys" for the pile. Seriously, though, I don't remember the exact date I started watching Retsupurae, but I remember the video: When "Let's Play Mirror's Edge As Soon As Possible!" was still a recent upload. Still happy to be a subscriber.
Been eagerly awaiting the upload of this for the past week searching "rtx retsupurae" several times a day since at least Tuesday. Great job with your first panel guys! If another one happens I'll be sure to attend. Could see how nervous you were in the beginning but you guys really came into your groove. Keep up the great work, you both bring a lot of entertainment into my life.
This is what I've wanted since forever.
I think the best part of the whole panel was slowbeef doing that spit take. You may be saying, "spit takes aren't funny!" I would concur! However the story behind the spit take; slowbeef asked someone who was running the panel if he could do a spit take for emphasis. The people running the place were very adamant about not letting it happen... And slowbeef somehow completely forgot (or just didnt care) and ended up doing the spit take anyway!
What was the awkward question?
Now I see them and I am so glad to be have been one of their first.
I could see reviewing soda. If it's like weird foreign soda, or something. Like Brad Jones does with Brad Tries, but exclusively soda-based. It could work.
By the way, Betus is top qt.
Words cannot express the amount of respect I have towards slowbeef after that elgato toss
How has nobody heard of Slowbeef if he started let's playing?
Because he's not really proud of it and has never really attempted to milk that "title"
ehh
Since it doesn't add anything to the quality of videos you make then it's pointless to claim that title unless you just want to draw attention. Thankfully Slowbeef is not that kind of guy.
Jacob A.
Unlike a man named Phil who lives in the dark. Just a syde-thought.
***** Well, Phil doesn't really have any redeeming qualities, so he needs to garner all the attention he can get in any way possible.
Good panel. Would sit and watch the whole way through again.
This was all well and good, but where is the video of Proton Jon making fun of this panel?
It's good to finally after all these years to see both Slowbeef AND Diabetus together in the public
Very first line: "We expected like six people"
*sigh* When will you find your self-confidence, Slowbeef-kun...?
I honestly figured we'd get like 30-40, but even the RTX Guardian was like "wow, we had more people than expected." The official count was 101 before we went in - who knows how many came/left in the 20 minutes between then and the panel starting.
retsupurae
The Wonderful Retsupurae 101!
retsupurae Wow, that's a lot of people. Just think of how many of them probably bought plane tickets and booked a hotel JUST so they could see you guys do this panel. Best fan base ever.
exiledPostman Best/creepiest.
That's so awesome didn't expect the Capture card give away, you've just ruined someone's life! ^_^
Also that Rules of Nature called joke at 20:22 was incredible.
Absolutely
This was honestly one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. Great work guys!
Panel looked awesome guys, wish I could've been there.
Diabetus looks a lot cooler than I expected
i was so excited to see this and when it wasn't livestreamed i was super bummed, so im very glad it was uploaded! better than expected. shit like this has the potential to be awkward and forced but you guys were fucking hilarious. gg. thanks for being awesome and uploading this at the perfect time for me to watch while sick in bed and be less miserable!
"I have a gift for you... can you sign my game which I'll then keep?"
This was really entertaining, despite what your own riffing on it would suggest. Thanks a lot for everything you do guys. It sounds weird, but I got into watching other Lets Plays from this channel when I wanted to start watching quality ones (starting with yours). It has become one of my favorite things to watch and has always given me something to do when down. I never thought seeing someone get a capture card would be so heartwarming, but it was. You two are really good guys and I hope you keep it up for a while :)
Cherrydoom looks cool. I'm guessing, it's the costume from Drive, bu I never saw the movie myself, just few short clips from it, so first thing I thought of, for some reason, was Travis Touchdown -_- Because of the sunglasses, maybe.
Drive is an awesome movie. It inspired Hotline Miami. :)
Drive is one of my favorite movies ever. It's a really really great movie and cherrydoom's cosplay made me like her way more.
Mark Marchesini She could also totally have pulled off a Dr. Strangelove. I didn't really get it was a Driver cosplay until I noticed the gloves.
Mark Marchesini Aye. The Driver didn't say much but when he did, it was intimidating as fuck and the music...Man.
I was happy to see Cherrydoom's face for the first time. I hate LP's and stuff where one's face is always shown, but I'd like to put a face to a name sometimes. I've seen the other 2 before.
Well, that's off my bucket list. I'd like to see what Dave_O looks like now. I think of someone like the "Good Guy Greg" meme guy or one of the guys from The Meat Puppets.
Also, Retsupurae's opinion on Game Grumps is that they're not terrible but they're also not great but they're sorta just like okay, right?
It's up and down - they have some really good stuff apparently, but we've only ever been pointed at the bad, so... ...I don't know. I don't really have a problem with them or anything; maybe someday we'll RP them, maybe not? I don't know.
See, I'm ok with people talking about random stuff with gameplay as background, as long as the conversation is interesting, or at the very least, entertaining. The problem with Gamegrumps is that a lot of times, they're neither. They run out of things to say and they just start making fart noises, beatboxing, or just fooling around. I'm sure they had a lot of fun making the video, but it's not even half as fun watching it.
Another thing, is that I find easier to tolerate the "talk about bullshit while a game plays in the background", if the one playing is somewhat competent at the game.
With the Game Grumps, a lot of times they know nothing about the game, they start talking about bullshit, skip and ignore every tutorial or instructions, and then they get stuck in the early game not knowing what to do. And then they start shitting on the game "This game is stupid, it's not telling me what to do" "why is the game so dumb", when it's not the game's fault. And that's pretty annoying.
retsupurae They are not consistent and honestly I'm not going to try to defend them anymore. How the hell do you play Toejam and Earl and never use the presents? Applesgosh and his monthly "Best of Game Grumps" series does a pretty good job of sifting through the crap to find the nuggets of entertainment, you might want to look at some of those videos.
retsupurae As with anyone who churns out a fuckton of content, you get a ton of pure shit... but a few bits of gold pop out from time to time.
As a fan of GG, I'd actually like to see you dig into them for some of their particularly bad videos. They really fucking need it at times. Their fanbase has gotten so big that there are even less funny/interesting moments because the lowest common denominator rules.
If you're looking for some of their better videos, you're more likely to see it in Jon and Dan's first few respective months on the channel, especially Jon's era. Most of the "best of" videos and animated bits fans made give an idea of their better moments if you don't feel like sifting through the archive. I'm sure everyone's already given you suggestions for their worst videos.
I don't really see the "they have some good stuff" point, because most of the youtubers you have Rp'd had/do have good stuff, you just picked a video that you can tear into. It's not like they have thousands of good videos and only one bad one. They have so many options, so many terrible videos I'm suprised not a single person has ripped into them in depth. But I guess it isn't my choice to make :/
You can't leave us hanging slowbeef what was the awkward question?
I'm gonna throw a wild guess:
"Did you kill Rita?"
*awkward silence*
Mantis47 That actually sound very likely
He answered it above, Phantom bro :)
Can you tell us because I really cant find it
"It was basically like "do you read 'something sensible' or any sites that just kinda hate you?" and I was like "Yeah, but you really have to try not to let that stuff get to you, or you'd go nuts" I then made a joke like "thanks for bringing up awkward shit at our panel!" and even though I meant it (and think it came across) jokingly, the guy felt really bad and apologized and we were like "no, no, it's fine!" but I felt bad so we excluded it."
Gotta say, this is the only panel I've watched more than once
I didn't know about you guys until today because of tweet from immortal hd saying he wished he saw your panel. That comment made me wonder, so I looked this video up. After watching the first 20 min I can already tell that I'm going to end up subscribing. I have found a hidden gem!
Nice panel guys! I'm a little curious what the cut question was though. Was it awkward on your guys' part or the guy asking the question? Or was it just a mess altogether?
wow, you'd think at a live event it might be harder to come up with good jokes but they were just on the ball. betus especially was at the top of his game, i have no idea how he comes up with some of that shit so fast. great panel.
I didn't know Dane Cook and Christopher Hitchens had a panel at RTX, cool
that was the best panel i have ever watched...for anything ....
Excellent mic grip Beef! Almost as good as the comic timing on your pauses! Though you seemed nervous at first it was good to see you settle into it. Plus, I'm so glad you finally did Project Enfinity, it's like the Everest of bad LP intros.
Y'know, everyone is complementing Diabetus' looks, but I think Slowbeef deserves a shoutout on that front as well. He's really rocking that beard, too.
Please do more roleplaying like Dungeon World! The two-parter you guys took part in was what got me into it in the first place.
Slowbeef looks like the child of Mike Myers and Grizzly Adams. Loved the panel hope I can make it one year.
me too man, me too
That was their first panel? I'm pretty impressed how well they controlled the room for firsttimers.
I'm glad the panel went this well, I do panels at cons too for anime and the sort and know well how rough holding a panel can be, and I can honestly say, you guys did spot on perfect. You had good conversations, good material to show others, VERY generous gifts for the people, and all in all, an enjoyable experience. Well done Slowbeef, Diabetus, and CherryDoom!
No offense, but that went way better than expected.
nyeeee
*gasp* a prank youtuber watches retsu? my (youtube) world is collapsing
Awesome!!!!
Holy shit. I never knew that the guy who dresses in drag for a lot of FilthyFrank's videos watched Retsupurae!
I never heard of you.
This was my favorite panel out of all of the other ones I went to at RTX. I hope they go next year again.
You guys have grown such fearsome beards recently. They made my cook steam 69/69
HOLY SHIT, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU RIFFED THE ENFINITY GUYS, I TOTALLY MISSED THAT.
That's what I get for sleeping in late like a bum, I guess. I just barely made it to the panel in time. Good show, you guys, it was the best panel I attended at RTX. (and, curiously, the most well scheduled/organized)
RTX now officially stands for Retsutalk Extreme!
I have a question when are you going to have Raocow in a podcast? Vote this up if you think this is a good idea, because they have hinted at it and Raocow has mentioned Slowbeef before in a video.
I'd be down for it.
This may be the one of my favorite videos of all time.
I love how quick-witted these guys are. They can make almost anything funny.
Diabeetus is ripped o.o
Are you a girl? Diabetus is pretty small lmao.
Always surprises me how women think guys who lifted weight twice are ripped.
James Sunderland
My favorite thing about TH-cam videos is now people who watch panels that are about people who watch other people playing video games bragging about what being "ripped" really means.
James Sunderland
someone is jelly
MarleyBM199
"if he makes le statement he must be le jelly :^)"
No fuck off, I'm prolly the same size as Betus but about 4 inches taller.
Stay mad manlets.
Voxel Composer
I never heard any official statement saying Slowbeef was a smoker but I could always HEAR him lighting up in retsupuraes and sometimes speaking in a muffled voice as though he had a cigarette in his mouth.
