[QUOTE=Zeos;32866669]Every time I watch one of their videos, as much as I enjoy it, they miss out on obvious things and consistently forget basic parts of the game.[/QUOTE]
I read somewhere that no one likes to watch people people who are good at something do it, and I keep seeing more and more evidence for it.
For example, would Spike and Barley's playthrough of AoM be funny if it weren't for the moments where they're screaming their heads off?
[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;32851747]i still wanna spike and barley/simon and lewis crossover[/QUOTE]
They're too different to go well together in my opinion.
Simon and Lewis are more calm and easy going while Spike and Barley are more hectic.

When I mean they miss stuff, I mean that they miss fundamental basics of certain gameplay elements, what it takes to mine certain things, basic crafting materials etc. That and stuff like opening chests and completely missing the fact that there are items they need in it.
I'm all for people being oblivious, but when you've been playing the same game for years it's kind of a massive frustration when watching videos like that. Not that I am not entertained.
have you seen any of their recent videos
they're pretty good at it

pretty sure they skip alot of the stuff so it doesn't give away or spoil the story for people.

Uh? I'm talking about the Yogscast, did I not make that clear? Missing items such as diamond tools/weapons in chests purposely placed for them to take that they miss completely.
Disregarding whether or not the stuff they miss is intentional, they're still really bad at the gameplay. Count how many times you see them doing things like building with TNT blocks, or using mining picks as weapons, et cetera.

Not true at all. We never miss basic things, you might have noticed but there are a lot of clean cuts in each episode. I cut out the slow parts of us learning things and so forth, if it isn't entertaining to me - I cut it.
Furthermore, a Minecraft LP might not be up to par as far as entertainment goes, as both me and Spike have both put A LOT hours into Minecraft. Though I stopped at 1.4, Spike still plays. A game that we both know inside out wouldn't be that entertaining just because we wouldn't be surprised by anything. Maybe I'd be surprised by the new stuff since 1.4, but that'd last like 2 parts then it's back to us punching blocks and exploring caves. We're not ruling it out 100%. We'd just need to find a way to make it original and interesting, different from other Minecraft playthroughs. It won't be soon though, we have a full plate with Silent Hill, Dead Island, Cryostasis, and a few other plans in the furnace. I've already brainstormed out the final months of 2011 for SnBP and Barley Productions, the schedules pretty much packed till 2012.

Blocky David Leatherhoff.
Still got more on Dead Island do we?
I wouldn't say Minecraft mostly because it's based around making your own entertainment rather than a designed experience. There's enough Minecraft videos on Youtube anyway. Coop games, scary games and just silly games are the ones to focus on.

I agree, minecraft is waaaay overplayed, there is a lot of games that you guys can make lets plays on.
yo guys zeos rant is directed to yogcast
Tip for you two: Try out Magicka and Blacklight Tango Down.
Blacklight because it's so horribly buggy and funny as hell as you can one hit kill people with the melee (basicly you punch everyone).
Magicka because it's a coop game with a fuckload of humour (and it's Swedish).

I could see Barley raging so hard with me as a teammate on Magicka haha. I'll mention that we give them a try though, I'm so looking forward to Cry of Fear....

Magicka would be such a laugh! There's so much in that game, that even when you try to play it serious, you'd still end up with blowing eachother up all over the place! It's amazing!

Because this is a[b] SPIKE & BARLEY [/b] megathread, not yogscast?

I can just imagine you blowing him off cliff edges with water.
Everyone does that atleast once.

This would of never happened if people haven't mention about the Yogcast and Spike & Barley cross-over shit they want.

Except the argument brought up Yogscast, which is what I was talking about. Seriously people this shit is on this page.

your only reference to anyone in your rant was "They". Considering we're in an S&B thread, we assumed you were talking about S&B
I didn't because I'm not an idiot

I must've been one of those weirdos who was actually reading what people posted instead of skipping posts and just assuming people were talking about S&B then
I'm one of those people that doesn't expect a half page to be arguing.
20 new posts I guess that means the new video is out.
[B]OH WAIT.[/B]

For once I can contribute with some content.

I forgot how much of an asshole david was haha
That part with David's cardboard cut-out was one of the greatest moments ever, especially when it was live, almost suffocated due to laughing too much. :v:
