Which episode was it? If it's the most recent one they're inebriated.
Obviously it's a pretty casual laid back show though, so- aside from the occasionally overpowering Pat- they talk like they're just hanging out.

Weirdly I think the best podcast from a listenability standpoint is the one where Matt is in Cuba, because they're more laid back and there are fewer people to talk over.

it wasn't a post-PAX episode I was listening to, it was from a month or two ago I think.
With the IRC you now have an outlet to share your depraved doujins.

Episode 55 from August.25th. HORRIBLE introduction.

Eh, not all podcasts are for everyone and theirs is mostly for fans of theirs anyway. If you haven't watched any of their LPs and you're not terribly against watching LPs in general, they have some good ones and are much less manic during them. It might also make it easier to go back to the podcast if you like it.

Try 52 if you want more listen ability, it's the one where Matt's in Cuba.
Obviously this becomes less of a problem as you go along. I had this problem with the Bombcast as well.
Well I recommend what Aaron said. Check their LPs out if that's your thing, or check out the more laid back episodes.

Maybe I'll check out some of their LPs then. Thanks!

It's a problem jumping into any podcast from a group of guys doing it as an aside to something else when you have little to no knowledge of their main thing. They assume you know who they are and are used to their style going in, so they don't focus too much on the introduction aspect.

I think there's a list in the OP of this thread that has a good guide as to which ones are best to start on.
Oops, DP.
The OP has some good suggestions for LPs. Their current running Prison Break is hilarious, too.
Personally, I haven't listened to any of the podcasts yet because I'm not much of a podcast guy.
Sweeeeet. Now you need that AA Trilogy.

Avoid Shaolin Monks and Nuzlocke. Recommend the OP stuff, but especially Metal Gear Rising and Deadly Premonition.
Yup. And obviously they can't waste everyone's time starting fresh introducing themselves everytime.
...what are you trying to say huh!!!! jk

I recommend starting on Silent Hill Downpour, there are semi-frequent callbacks to it, it has some really fun stuff and Pat is actually pretty knowledgeable about the franchise, and it's a good introduction to their personalities.

Amen. Downpour is a fantastic start. Their run of Eternal Darkness is gold too.
So basically avoid any LP with Wooly?

It's so weird, he seems to largely be in LPs that get boring quickly because of game choices. Like, he was great in Indigo Prophecy, because the game was suited to it.
Woolie's there for the Revengeance DLC. I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream was pretty good. He was also there for Beyond Two Souls.
I personally like the current Dark Souls 2 LP, as well.
I just need to buy AA3? right since I cant get the 4th game?

Eh...
I'm pretty sure the Bombcast crew introduce themselves everytime. I haven't heard of the podcast, do they not put their names or something?
I only watch their LPs and I second the Deadly Premonition one

The Dark Souls 2 LP is pretty entertaining. Mainly due to Pat slowly pushing Woolie towards a mental breakdown.
Also Cryme Tyme and Triple Tr...I mean FF8
Eh...

Yeah, just adding something like "hey, I'm Matt", etc. every week wouldn't be a huge deal. Giant Bomb does it and it's a nice way for new people to put names to the voices.
I don't think the trilogy will be sold in parts. I think it's a whole set.
You have the first two now? Yeah, you'd need to get Trials & Tribulations. Despite people disparaging it, you should probably play Apollo Justice (the 4th) as well. I still like it.
Heads up, Mega Man: X4 is up on PSN as well as the Muramasa Rebirth final DLC

They mainly just get right into it and talk over each other pretty often. If you're used to their LPs you probably won't notice too much, but just jumping in they're loud and hard to follow.
X4...the best X game...damn it all, I really need to replay my Zero Collection.

Woolie's ok... I like him in the group stuff. Him and Pat work pretty well.
I haven't liked a Matt and Woolie video since DKC though.
Is my nostalgia for X1-3 blinding me for does every X game after suck hardcore.
I bought the X collection on PS2 and hated X4, and loathed X6 and 7.

What was wrong with Apollo? Overall it was a lot better than AA2, and I consider equal to AA1.

On my way to get Danganronpa 2. I dont think i have been this hyped for a game since Revengeance.

While I don't really enjoy Matt/Woolie LPs that much, I appreciate the variety.
Hnnnnng. Can't wait to get mine.

What? X4 is easily in my top three Megaman games, it barely has any crap in it, and it's just levels from levels. No collecting parts or anything like that, you got 8 choices and go for it.

Moar Pat though. I waaaaant it.
I just thought it felt gross. I would say X2 and X3 fall into that trap of strapping too much shit on top of X1's mechanics, but the core gameplay felt awful in X4.
OOH. MMMMHPH.

I appreciate Pat's growing mental instability. The sounds he has started making are barely human.

I haven't been hyped to get a game in like 5 months. I'm super hyped for September 30th though.
Team Woolie Hole forever
Really? I never really had a problem with how X4 felt, I'd say the only 2d X game that felt really off was X6
X8 is alright, not good, but not bad.

Maybe it's nostalgia blindness. I played a god damn TON of X1 as a kid, so the new engine and gameplay really throws me off.
That said, I should probably get the Zero collection sometime...

This Prison Break LP is breaking me. Holy shit.
A lot of people have issues with the new characters, and the motivations of several antagonists (which I won't go into for spoiler reasons). Others just didn't really like Apollo at all.
My main gripe when I first played through is that the prosecution never felt quite as hostile towards the defense as in the earlier games. It felt friendlier than a rivalry, which made the courtroom back and forth a little less entertaining. I grew to really like it after successive playthroughs, though.

bad gameplay lol
Like I said, on PSN. :lol
(Though to be more clear, the PS Store.)
Damn you Sony, my wallet can only take so much!
