I think it was Jack who had a story about bumping into Mike during a screening and Mike just walking in the other direction. lol

I think Jack explained it that Mike didn't want to talk to anyone about the movie because they want to save all their discussion for the actual video. But yes. lol
Finally caved in and made a patreon account to support RLM

can't wait to watch that Night Court vhs
lol
I have like 6 or 7 copies, probably more, of Video Nag. Should I send a couple their way for Wheel of the Worst?
OP

When my friends and I had a podcast, we would say "Save it for the podcast" when hanging out before recording. And we had nothing invested in our venture. So I can see Mike taking it very seriously to not talk about it before recording to get real raw reactions.
Next time I'm back home, I'll send a few off to them.
Also, I thought of this joke while rewatching:
They're currently editing their second spotlight movie best of the worst episode focusing on a single film. Looking forward to it.
I can think of two that are out already, Hollywood Cop and The Last Vampire On Earth.
Maybe that doesn't mean much to you, but it means a lot to people like me who have it. That's right I have AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
mama i heard him say hes a vampire
now now baby thats silly, such imagination
but mama he said he couldnt eat KFC for it made him sick
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE KILL THE TAINTED ONE

You forgot that hard-hitting dialogue?!
Wow, "Vampire Assassin" on VHS. That released on the VERY tail end of VHS. They are really going to fuck up the market for used copies of that movie.
I hope they get enough "Vampire Assassin" and "Nukie" tapes to have two of the guys wear them as suits of armor and battle.

Well considering the time period of the Blade films vhs was still around and kicking.
I couldn't handle this one lol, first time I stopped watching one of these.
Did they hate it? Because I wouldn't be surprised if they hated it. They have such particularl fucking tastes in video games that anything not within that spectrum they shit on.
They start off saying how hard it is to control, and then I turned it off when they started talking about how Sunshine perfected 3D platforming. They also did this weird pixel stand in thing.
Lol, I love the entire RLM crew when they're talking about movies (except maybe Jack, although he's still tolerable at worst), but god damn if their opinions on video games aren't completely worthless to me.
Jack said they switched to this format because it takes a shorter time for him to edit.
i guess i can see that
if they're switching to it full time i might as well unsubscribe; not like i watch the livestreams at this point
A better format would be to not do them. Because their opinions are poopy.
Yea, only time I ever tune into the live-streams is if Jay makes an appearance.
Rich started off by saying that 3D platforming is inherently worse than 2D platforming. He liked Super Mario Sunshine because Fludd allowed you to hover mid-jump and reorient yourself, and that solved some of his problems with 3D platforming. Rich and Jack both disagree with people who say that Sunshine is the worst 3D Mario.
Jack disliked a few small instances of realism in Super Mario Odyssey getting in the way of his cartoon. Rich liked the wide range of visual styles.
Jack didn't like the open world nature of the game. He felt that wandering around aimlessly and collecting armfuls off moons undermined the importance of collecting moons to proceed, and Rich said that if Jack felt that way, he should've stopped exploring and made a beeline for the exit, as Rich did. Rich said that if you want a linear experience, the game certainly works that way.
Jack was pretty negative (although I think he described his position as being "mixed"). He said that the 3D platforming is fine, the boss battles are weak, the main gimmick (mind rape) is weak, and some of the level design is fun.
Rich disagreed. He said that "good" is underselling the game, but "great" is overselling it. He might be leaning a little bit more towards "great" though, based on assigning a number value they immediately regretted.
Rich said the gap between "good" and "great" is why reviewers use a 100-point scale. It's neither an 8 nor a 9 out of 10. Maybe 85 out of 100. Or 87 (suggesting Rich's leaning more towards "great").
Rich continues to have terrible opinions about video games lol.
I think it was Game Grumps back when I used to watch that (Jon Tron pre Milkshake Duck) and one of them said that 2D Zelda was inherently superior to 3D because you can precisely see the exact pixel distance your sword will go to hit an enemy.
Granted it's true I guess, but in 3D Zelda it's a different skill of judging distance in 3D space and only takes moments to figure it out. It's all about feel anyways, you get a feel for how far away you need to be in 2D just like in 3D (or in Mario's case how far your jumps are in 2D vs. 3D), it's not like they actually counted the number of pixels away they were from enemies at every encounter in 2D Zelda.
Plus I haven't played a single Zelda game that required pixel perfect combat accuracy.
It's totally OK to have a preference of 2D over 3D, but some of the "objective" justifications for one over the other can be laughable.
Weird, because when Rich finished the game on stream again, he seemed to enjoy it as he was playing it because he was just mainlining the game.
Jack thinking Sunshine is the best Mario is some weird thing he has.

So why does PreRec not do live action Rich and Jack anymore? Doesn't it take a lot more effort to draw the pixel art? I miss seeing them sitting on the couch. I preferred that style.
I mean the new way is okay, but I prefer to see official RLM mascot Rich and Jack in person.

They gave it a 87 too right, so they must have liked it.
I staunchly believe that they're simply trying to ape the "cynical YouTube critic" thing when they review their games, at least to some degree.
I won't disagree that fludd's hover was a brilliant mechanic for people who struggle in 3d platformers to correct their jumps and land safely. Of course I'd argue Mario's spin in Galaxy and Cappy throw in Odyssey do the same thing, but Fludd is superior to then since it last a lot longer. I can also understand how if they prefer more linear experienced how Sunshine would be their favorite over Odyssey. The common complaint about Sunshine is that the objectives are all linear and don't reward exploration.
or maybe they didn't adore the game?
I mean i can understand doubting the integrity of someone's critic when they just say "x sucks"..but there's a long enough video explaining what they like and what they don't like
yeah..if one sucks at 3d platforming and wants an help,fludd is great..problem is i'm pretty decent at 3d platforming,so the best thing in sunshine for me were those levels where you DON'T have fludd
