Current Events > "Matt and Pat are no longer friends" happened just a year ago.

(+) Yeah! (+)

For some reason, it feels like it was longer ago to me.

---

The pain still hurts

---

Wha happun?

---

It's even worse when you find out they haven't been getting along long before the actual group split.

---

---

What? Who? I feel like I've heard of this before but I forgot who they are, are they a dnd podcast group?

---

They never were

LPers.

Castle Superbeast could be carrying the momentum if they just did more LPs.

LP's are more work for less money, especially for Pat who's dropped Youtube completely for Twitch. Woolie still insists on LP's but hes chosen boring partners and plays mostly niche shit no one cares about and when he does play something new that people are interested in he does a terrible job, hell he even realizes this and has started streaming more too.

IMO, it was Pat who was the insufferable one.

he was but the others have been getting to that point too, especially pat

I never got the appeal. The segments that people thought were worth animating never made me laugh.

Yeah I personally saw the clock counting down when Pat Stares At became a side thing because he barely has to put effort into anything.

Matt is insufferable as a commentator, Pat is insufferable as a human being you have to sit down and talk with for hours at a time.

Matt was literal cancer in everything he participated in once Liam left, all his LP's were horrible and if he even bothered to show up to the podcast it was always weak episode as hed spend the whole time on his phone without engaging in anything. Remember when Pat surprised the guys with news that he bought a house and Matt couldnt even be assed to be even slightly cordial for 2 seconds and congratulate him?

Pat literally bought a house to be closer to their office, and this was way after he started streaming and right before the channel collapsed, and he still brought his A game to every LP he was in right to the end, his side shit isnt what lead to the end of the channel. Matt was doing side streams way before Pat started then Matt decided to completely check out of every LP he was a part of and barely ever showed for the Podcast and phoned that in when he did bother to show up.

It still hurts. I told myself I'd go back and watch some of my favorite LPs once it stopped hurting.

On the bright side, all of the guys have really flourished on their own. Pat's streams are great (aside from all the donation reading), Matt's edited content is thoroughly entertaining, and Woolie seems happy with what he's doing. Even [REDACTED] seems happy and has done an excellent LP of Sonic 06 with Matt (and has an ongoing SA2B LP).

I truly hate donations. I get why streamers do it and don't really blame them, but it fucks things up so much.

I miss those damn Shitstorm vids

And plus the reason Matt was checking out was because he was deep into making "The Takeover". I believe he did alot of the artwork for the game.

It was obvious Matt was over it when he came back for Resident Evil 7.

Pat does try to keep it contained to the beginning and ending of the stream.

That was the biggest void in my heart this past October.

My dad just did the most clam thing in front of my pals

He came downstairs when were all playing VideooGames and he said to me and referring to my friends when he said it, "Hey who invited the clam brigade over, didn't know your mum was making seafood for dinner." My friends were in shock and I was in disgust. Im so emberstomed right now I think im going to be sick, what should I do?

my friends are in the other room not talking and my dad is just laughing watching tv in his bedroom, if my mum mum finds out about this I don't think pat and matt will be able to sleep over for the night and its ****ing stupid cause the weekend is my time. My time to relax and have a good time, I don't need this bull***

---

tfw there's a new deadly premonition coming out but no best friends play

---

RIP MatPat

---

i had been long unsubbed by that point anyway and it wasn't surprising. for at least 2 years prior matt blatantly didn't want to be there for most of the LP's and generally was an insufferable blight on just about all their content

---

what was best friends plays best year/era

---

I still listen to and fully enjoy Castle Super Beat podcast, but I don't bother watching their stuff anymore otherwise. Woolie's channel is pretty boring, I don't watch Twitch so Pat's stuff is out and Matt is insufferable and unfunny. I missed when they were all together. I was watching their stuff from 2011ish right until they ended it last year. It was some good times >_>
---

Pat's stuff is on Youtube

---

Liam leaving killed it for me.

I used to like Liam when he first came on but after a year or so, he got really annoying for some reason

Liam is awful, anything he is in is unwatchable

He at least knew how to, you know, actually play video games and not suck and complain about the game because they suck.

---

I've been watching their old stuff since they split. There's plenty of old playthroughs that I can barely remember at this point, so they're almost like new. Streams aren't really my thing, but I'll watch a Matt or Woolie vid every so often.

---

Matt was just a greedy and lazy fuck. He earned more than Pat despite not really doing anything more and missed tons of recording sessions and podcasts. And when he was there it was the same jokes over and over.

And Pat said he considered fan meet ups at bars where they'd just drink and play arcade games as "work" and would use that to justify extra vacations. What a fucker

---

Freddie_Mercury posted...

matt was insufferable

He does good solo stuff now, though. Not all the time, all his live-action stuff where he's drunk is really bad, but I like his Wha Happun series and his Gone Too Soon series.

---

I couldn't stand Matt near the end. No matter how bad Pat may be irl, Matt was worse during content.

Woolie>Pat>Matt>Redacted.

bump

Wait whats wrong with Pat as a person?

---

I get the feeling that Liam is a huge bitch and after he had some kind of falling out with Pat, Matt "chose" him over Pat.
---

I hope the Game Grumps never split up

I was considering posting this topic but it almost always leads to arguments over who was the worst and/or who was really responsible for the breakup.

You were responsible admit it

People dont like Liam? I thought he was second best after Pat.

Pat > Liam > Matt > Woolie > Matt imo

Pat is an asshole but an entertaining one. He always played off meek members like Matt and Liam the best but its clear his personality was too much for both.

Liam was and is funny and is extremely optimistic, even when he plays dreck. Hes very good at creating a relaxed atmosphere.

Matt is good sometimes and terrible others.

Woolie has always shifted between boring mediator and cringy weeb. Also, he has quite possibly the worst taste in partners of any LPer Ive ever seen.
