Right? It kinda hit me one day the OT was the older part of the fanbase and I've always really appreciated that.
That's the thing aint it, those newer subs are from newer people, not exactly people who have been on youtube for years
Count me in the list. I am pretty suicidal and honestly knowing there was always going to be more content kinda helped me at least look to the future when I needed it.
We can't replace them, but we're here if you want to talk about anything. I, and I am sure many others, like you a lot.
Damn, I really hope you stay along despite what has happened.
You guys are sweet but don't worry about me. This hasn't put me into a spiral or anything. That's usually saved for more tragic events like stubbing my toe or it getting like five degrees too cold. (I'm joking, it's a kinda random thing).
But if people don't mind a dark depression story. About two years back I got committed to a suicide ward for a lot of reasons but ultimately it was cause I had a dumb end of life plan about when I wanted to die. Also i had been drinking. There was a lot else going on, but the long short of it is police came and kindly escorted me to a hospital then a mental ward. That mental ward was one of the most interesting and heartbreaking moments of my life that's going to stick with me until I die, but those are stories for another time. After three days, they let me out and it was nice to be back home because I had a bunch of shit storm videos/whatever the other LP going on was to just binge and catch up on at my own pace and that really helped. Every time I go off on a spiral and just disappear from the world, when I came back, there'd be some videos I could watch to kind of help me forget about all the shit that just happened for a bit. It's going to be weird not having that anymore. But c'est la vie. I'm thankful Matt is as prolific as he is in that regard plus they've introduced me to so many great channels.
Oh shit god damn it finally hit me. Here come the tears.
I've not been following the channel as long as others in here -3 or 4 years i wanna say, not really sure- but it still hit hard.
It's sad it had to end this way, thanks for all the good times SBFs :(

I'm gutted. I didn't have much time to process it the news this morning but damn does this suck. The silver lining is that Matt and Woolie can make content they enjoy and are passionate about. I haven't really been up to date with their side channels although I have been really interested in what they're putting out. Hopefully this will all work out for the best, even if I do think it's a shame.
FlowersisBritish Fat4all and @everyone else that's been a fan - you're good people. You aren't good people because of the SBF, but because you can talk passionately and honestly about the things you love. This OT and the subreddit where places where a million interests intersected and it was great to see people enjoy new things and share their passions for things like Yakuza, Jojo, DMC, Gurren Lagann, whatever. I'm glad that this is the legacy of the channel, and that the guys are still keeping that passion. I didn't post much (I'll never hit Fat4all's 13k+ with how many in this thread), but I checked the thread alot and I'm glad for everyone who posted in it.

Consider joining the discord if you haven't, we've been pretty reasonable through this and have been more concerned bout how bummed we all are. Somebody can shoot an invite if need be.
Ive just been lurking the thread all today ans i just want to say this been a good community, will say i use to be way more frequent here, well on gaf that is and was here since the beginning of the 1st OT on gaf, then i kinda just fell off community threads for a while shame when i decided to come back to post here more often the group called it quits
It sorta hit me earlier today aswell, there's just isnt a new video to watch, there are LPs I didnt finish or skipped but having that new episode always helped.
We'll keep going I hope, and I again recommend the discord if you like many of the folks here.
We still have the solo channels content! Maybe there will be other collaborations too.
Have joined! Interesting to see so many names I recognize from the thread. It'll also be a better notifier of new solo content than Youtube I imagine.
Doesn't surprise me but the Barkley LP is one of their best, which makes it kind of strange in hindsight
Yeah, he outright "hinted" at it during some of his streams (can't remember which ones though).
I must be so oblivious cos I never noticed any tension during recent LP's, but then I didn't listen to the podcast
I didn't either. I was enjoying their Star Trek LP to the very end and didn't see it at all
Just wanted to say that when Liam left, things never felt the same. People kept making fun how he's "devil's advocate" but he brought new perspectives or actually gives out thoughtful arguments. The quality of the podcasts and videos went down for me when he left.
Watch older LPs or ones you didn't give a chance, I'll probably gonna check out TMS and Freedom Planet

Not only that but he was one of the few who was pretty good at games, outside of pat on old RE games/DMC and woolie on fighting games/DMC
Yeah definitely! The SA-X trolling is still one of the best moments for me on the channel
Yeah. Sigh. It is really hitting me this morning.
Last night, I spent a little bit just catching up on the Kingdom Hearts LP and there's this brief spot during the Ursula boss fight where its just complete silence, and you KNOW something is up.
I think what's hitting me the most is simply realizing that we won't get the Best Friends' reaction, and play throughs, on things in the future. It hurts not to have them go out on say RE2 Remake or something.
I also wonder how finances will be. I don't know all the specifics of how much they continue to make from simply harvesting views from the remaining Best Friends videos but I would have to imagine it would give them a good solid few months. Matt's channel never had the same viewership as the Best Friends and it seems like he puts a TON more work into that, same as Woolie Versus.
Pat, with his streaming, is probably going to manage to cultivate that viewership, especially with continuing the podcast.
Honestly all of our LPs were absolutely ace. Barkley and SMRPG are like, top five SBFP LPs for me. We hurt each other in different ways and after a while I developed really intense anxiety and willingly chose to leave. I can still look back and appreciate when we were close, honestly.
I still go back and listen to Barkley and SMRPG to fall asleep sometimes. They're just such good LPs. And they led to me picking up SMRPG as well which I have never regretted.
Hey man,
I just wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you so much for all you did, and continue to do. Your LPs really helped me out during some tough times in my life and without you guys, I don't know where I'd be or if I'd even be here honestly.
But now I'm married, have a house, two dumb cats, and have created things which I never thought I would. So again, thanks so much Liam. I'm tearing up as I write this but you're a good guy and I really look forward to seeing what you do in the future.
No longer rising, he is risen.
The friendship may fade, but the Dong Dong Never Dies.
You made the right choice for yourself and I think pretty much all of the fans (at least the true ones) respected that at the time. We all really appreciate your honesty and candor about all of this. It's easy for fans to fall for drama or speculate all day, but what you've provided has been sobering and forthright in a way that's rare when high profile relationships are being bared for everyone to see.
Love you, guy.
Proud of you for getting yourself out of that situation rather than just trying to live with it and stewing in it
Got a lot of respect for you making that choice for your own happiness and I hope you're doing good now. Cheers for all the hours of entertainment with SBFP and with your streams now.
I'm glad to hear that. I hope you aren't getting bombarded too hard with other people's misdirected rage and confusion about this.
I can't believe how distasteful the conspiracy theory shit around this actually is.
Joining in on the big forum hug, but dude thank you so much for your chill and warm attitude, and made me discover tons of new stuff that everytime i'm in japan, i almost feel like "I wonder if I should ask Liam about this" (but don't worry, I won't !)
Thanks for still taking the time sometimes to leave a message to us, god knows we're not always the most bright. Wish you the best, and looking forward for the Silent Dude.
I read somewhere that we're gonna be getting the first CastleSuperBeast sooner rather than later.
