To me the strength of Monster Factory (besides the brothers being very funny) is the fact that by the end of this they and the viewer have grown to fall in love with this monster. Final Pam being the biggest case where at the beginning she's just a lady with a lot of the sliders to the extreme but by the ends she's this beautiful god creature.

It says a lot about who the McElroys are as people that the show doesn't end at making something look goofy. They have to create a story for their creations, to care about and for them.

It feels weird to feel more accepted from a show called Monster Factory
but I really appreciate their Dragon's Dogma playthrough where Randy Johnson is a balding lady and they don't joke about that

Yeah! Or how in their Soul Calibur one they casually mention her girlfriend.
My time at Giant Bomb defined a lot about my career, and my life (eight years at a place will do that do you!). Here goes!
Alex: I hope to one day be as sharp and quick-witted as Alex. Dude's jokes are always on point and his lightning-fast comments often have a poignancy I couldn't achieve with hours of soul-searching. He's also one of the genuinely nicest people I've ever met.
Brad: Brad is supremely eloquent. He has this uncanny ability to distill and convey exactly what he's thinking, using the perfect words to do so. He's also down to chat about space or physics or pretty much anything cool at a near-university level. He's a fountain of information.
Dan: Dan will constantly surprise you. His view of the world is often direct and simple, but this can cause you to challenge things you'd previously considered set in stone. I can't thank him enough for introducing me to mindfulness meditation, something that has vastly improved my life.
Jason: Coming into a new environment and gelling with a team that has been together for as long as we had is an extremely difficult task, but not only did Jason pull it off, he did so with his characteristic unwavering positivity. Jason injected new, outside-the-box ideas while also taking to heart the lessons the rest of us had learned over the years, and has grown immeasurably since he arrived, both behind the camera and in front of it.
Jeff: Jeff is a walking encyclopedia of video games, a trait that never ceased to amaze me. But what’s most amazing about Jeff is how much he respects games and the industry. You can’t build what Giant Bomb is without people that care--that have a reverence for the material--the way Jeff does. It’s inspiring.
Rorie: There are tasks involved with operating a website that are tedious, unglamorous, largely invisible to the audience, and vastly important. Rorie does most of these things, and does so tirelessly. Personally, Rorie is extraordinarily genuine, and probably smarter than all of us combined.
David: You guys may not know Dave Nillasca, but he keeps the lights on. Knowing that someone is looking out for you while you make dumb Internet videos is extremely comforting, especially when it’s someone as smart and capable as Dave.
Austin: I hardly spent any time with Austin during his brief tenure at Giant Bomb, but whenever I did, it felt like we had known each other for years. Austin can talk about the things you think you know well, but in a way that makes them seem brand new and makes you appreciate them even more. The fact that he was able to create a website and community with that ability in Waypoint has been amazing to watch.
Patrick: If you need proof that Patrick is always up for anything, look no further than the end of this video (where Patrick eats a boiled sheep’s head). Professional, personable, and just fun to be around, I would travel anywhere in the world with Patrick again in a heartbeat.
Ryan: Man, I miss Ryan. If you want to know what Ryan was like in person, just watch this video. Imagine working with a guy like that every day, how that would give you energy, lift your mood, and make you want to make great things.
Vinny: What do you say about the person who shaped your career? Who taught you almost everything you know about video production, from the technical to the interpersonal? Who stayed just as late (and usually later) than you when you were both working on edits? Who taught you, through his own actions, to care about the craft of the work in addition to its content? And who did all of that while making you laugh every single day? You say thank you. Thank you, Vinny.
Drew's AMA is going at a glacier's pace, but that's probably because Drew is so thoughtful with his words. I think that took like an hour for him to post.
This week's MBMBaM made me try and remember every single thing about Yugioh I could conjure up
And the only things I could remember were "Blues Eyes White Dragon," "trap card," and how in the manga it was about him being possessed by an evil spirit that would make people play Go with him and if they lost he'd steal their soul
I've shown the Bart episode of Monster Factory to people who know zero things about the McElroys or video games, people like my sixty-year-old mother, and seen it lead to tears of laughter
It is some of the funniest twenty-five minutes I have ever experienced, in any medium
I love the rest of the show, too, but that video is transcendentally funny

I think it's because everyone knows what Bart Simpson looks like, and recognizes that they nailed it 100% perfectly
Why is griffin's Speed Run Guy Voice always british
he loves doing that accent, almost every mbmbam too
in the dragon's dogma one it is Justin who does it and Griffin specifically says "why is speed run guy always british?" and then just goes with it and makes him british as well
(i haven't watched this because according to sources it is painfully unfunny)
I'm guessing that's less of a series and more of a "We have Mass Effect Andromeda but are limited in what we can show; let's fuck around with the character editor."
Yeah, this sounds more and more plausible.

I put the playlist on for a group of people when hanging out and the first one to really hit hard was The Pebble.
@simben speaking of accents last night I played a French privateer in a Pen & Paper game but I don't know any French people so I basically did my best Simon imitation the whole time and I'm PRETTY sure I nailed it, by which I mean Mrs. Chilla closed the door to the office because she said it was too painful

I really like the Dragon's Dogma one but that's maybe the only one I can think of where the best part is them playing it without mods

And then we see what Daddy looks like.

"DAD! Dad I found you!"
"daddy's stuck, daddy's in jail"
"Our push-ups can bring him back!"
Like, they actively try to be very accepting and avoid punching down and all that
And with Monster Factory, a project that is theoretically all about making the ugliest person you can, that's a skill that gets tested a bit
Rather than punching down and making fun of these characters that they create, they end up having to come up with some more creative things to say
Which, thanks to their improv skills, coalesce into more and more of a narrative as they keep building on whatever they've already said

Most notably Will Wright and, I think, Shigeru Miyamoto once.
Yeah the Shiggy one was a deliberate play on that theme and also hilarious.

He's American but I know what you mean.
I think he's really looking for someone unknown this time
And work on more quality posts like that one?
The gameplay portions are only boring when the game has nothing interesting to offer and they fail at crafting a good fiction about the character.

Well you never actually posted it anywhere, it only exists on your iPod touch, but yes, actually.
It got a little too heated.
