Urgh, Why did I not put "The Dark Prince of Nerd Media" as the subtitle. URGH.

Everyone here needs to go on YT and look at the game trailers reaction to the e3 of Sony's where ff7r was revealed. The best reaction of all time I think

Yes. Kyle Stuff.

If you'd like behind-the-scenes insights into the creativity of misery, check the Box Peek Q&A sessions and be sad and angry at the shocking true and real life fate of the Peekref 12 puppet.

This is the one for the series finale:



Whole playlist here.

 

[The Third Heat]

Fun fact: Kyle's Failed Sketch Friday from today was actually staged by his sketch group. When he started describing it, I knew it sounded familiar so I went digging and found this:



I think it might be a bit different from what he read, but it's essentially the same.

 

[Fanto]

I am so here for this.

 

[Zebesian-X]

Neat! This is definitely a good call

I'm a huge fan of this idiot, so I approve of there being a thread.

To celebrate the new tread, here's a gif I made (for one of the weekly art shows) of Zidane doing that dance Kyle did for an episode of Dear Bosman:

Favorite strimmer. I just wish he would stream shorter games more often. As much as I love (J)RPGs, watching them for weeks and weeks and weeks is a bit boring. Except for FF9 of course, that shit was awesome.

Is this where we OINK?

I love how much chat goes crazy everytime Mucho hops on screen.

Still super salty about the Torna streams, but at least watching him pull off his first complete combo was fun.

Hope he sticks with XIV tho, it'd be a massive shame if he drops before hitting the end of ARR and never seeing HWS and the stellar lead up to that.

 

[Hazz3r]

That first round of Tetris 99 was ridiculous. I was on the edge of my seat. He's so good at Tetris.

A Bosman thread?

 

[Bongodaddy]

Awesome to see an OT for Kyle! I try to catch streams every now and then, but with the amount of hours Kyle puts into streaming I definitely need a topic like this to stay on top of things and get inspired on what to check out.

 

[Aether]

Oh, i thought there is something new.
Since 90% of his content is streams and im not interested in streaming, there is not much output from him i would like sadly. Still, kyle is great.

At the beginning of his streams he always does a segment called "Praise and Scold" where you can get a taste of those Kyle takes.

I usually stick for those and skip watching he actually playing games unless it's something I'm really into.

 

[dancingphlower]

I probably spend more time watching Kyle content than I do Easy Allies stuff at this point...glad to see him get an OT. Dude is legit one of the best streamers I've watched. He can make even the weirdest or worst games look entertaining.

Sounds nice, but also a bit cumbersome to have to go to twitch just for a short segment.
If he would just cut them out of the stream and upload them on youtube...that would be great.

He uploads the every stream to YouTube on a channel called Kyle's Stream Dumps, and Praise and Scold is always close to the start. I'm not sure he necessarily does that segment every stream though.

 

[TwoDots]

Oh man, a Kyle OT. I'm here for this stuff.

For those unaware or simply looking for the link, here's the itch.io page for the Game Jam that Kyle has initiated.

Detailed information can be found on the page and I'd recommended everyone to watch the Twitch VOD in which the theme, characters and eventual drawings have been made. Quite impressed with how quickly Kyle can just draw these cool concepts. Also hats off to LittleKittenBit for giving the drawings some very nice colors.

Yeah, praise and scold is only on Wednesday. His weekly segments usually look something like this:

-Monday

Art Show - viewer submitted art/comics/music/etc based on the streams/games/Mucho​

-Wednesday

Praise and Scold - gives his thoughts on something good and something bad, can be about anything​

Welcome to the Playlist - searches for songs on Epidemic based on chat suggested keywords. Chat then votes on whether it gets added to the playlist​

-Friday

Failed Sketch Friday - reads through and talks about a sketch he wrote from something like between 2012 and 2016​

Occasionally they won't happen for various reasons, but that's the typical schedule.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Super Mario Bros. 3 full playthrough tonight was super fun.

 

[False Witness]

Does anyone know where to find the Schluffe (?) / Gamescom stuff?

I just got through watching Dark for the first time and I swear half of the script is "Es tut mir leid." All I can think about whenever I hear it is Kyle.

These are the three episodes I can remember Schluffe being in. Maybe there's more, but I can't recall.

I couldn't get any sleep last night or the night before because I keep hearing "You little shit!" in my head on loop ever since Kyle called Malos' voice actor underwhelming.

Honestly part of the reason I liked Malos was his VA, just the perfect amount of corny and anime jock.

For me it's the only reason I grew to like the rest of the character. Whether you love or hate the direction, the voice is most accurately summed up as the polar opposite of underwhelming. Overwhelmingly positive or overwhelmingly negative - but the actor never settles for anything that would merely whelm or less.

FF14 are my favorite Kyle streams right now. I hope he doesn't stop.

Click to shrink...

Complete opposite for me. I think these streams are incredibly boring and I hope he stops them rather sooner than later. :D What's especially bad is he streams it on Fridays and that's the only day when I could potentially watch for a couple of hours.

Overall I have to say I didn't really like the type of games he chose to stream in the last weeks (months?), so I've been skipping more and more streams lately. Ape Escape 3 should be fun, though, and I'm really looking forward to the Game Jam stream.

 

[Hazz3r]

Captain America today on stream. I remember thinking this game was a bit weird. Cap looks like a bit of a dork. Looking forward to seeing Kyles reaction to it 10 years later.

I think they're fun too, but man alive, does he have a long way to go before he gets to the good stuff. He said he plans on doing some offline playing, which might be good. I'm sure some in chat would object since they'd want to see his reaction to certain things, but the sooner he gets past Realm Reborn, the better. Especially if he's keen on becoming a Machinist.

The problem with his FFXIV streams that a good part of what it makes it so entertaining for a while (his slow play, fucking around in first person, stopping to admire everything) is also what makes it so hard to watch for prolonged times, at least for me. Like, it's fun in small doses but when he's walking everywhere and takes 1h plus per quest, and he's at the worst parts of the game storywise, the novelty kinda wears off.

However, that style of play was what made the Gold Saucer stream so great. Best case scenario I think would involve he doing both actualy story advancing streams where he plays quick for story and those slower streams where he's specifically doing something else (mapping an area, leveling an alt, beast tribe quests, etc). Otherwise i would bet on him dropping the game waaaay before finishing ARR.

 

[Philippo]

I really, really want to see Kyle's reaction to the lead-up to Heavensward live. I hope he both reaches it and streams it live.

Oh, and Hildibrand stuff of course.

 

[Kastenessen]

The FF14 streams got me to dive in too; been hearing a lot of praise for the game and especially Shadowbringers and I'm having a blast. There definitely needs to be a lot of offstream play though, last night I spent most of my time climbing up and down circular stone towers delivering letters (MSQ level 38 or so) which would not make compelling viewing.

 

[Fnnrqwin]

Can't believe I missed Kyle discovering who Herb Alpert is on his last stream and only found out through the VOD. It's like worlds colliding, Herb Alpert's one of the biggest artists in my musical life. And of all the songs to play, we got 8 seconds of "Ladyfingers." Too bad he didn't get to the strings part. :/

Yeah a lot, and I mean a lot, of MSQ in ARR are like that.

 

[Sheldon]

I never miss Kyle being part of Easy Allies more than when he's dropping trolly Monster Hunter hot takes without Ben there to sigh and shake his head at him.

 

[demu]

Did Kyle say why he's streaming tomorrow instead of today? Is this a one week only thing or is he changing the streaming schedule permanently?

It's a permanent change. He didn't give a reason which makes me think it's for his convenience/personal reasons, which is fine.

The Bruised Egos Game Jam was such a lot of fun. Definitely check it out if you haven't.
