Smidazzle

GAMERSTACK!!! LETS GOOOOOOO!!! The announcement im most hyped for is PALWORLD 1.0

Octodad had a 4 player mode with one person on each limb

The McElroy Brothers have a segment on their YouTube channel called Three Boys, Six thumbs, One Heart that is basically the voltron/power rangers idea. They play modded versions of video games that allows each of them control over a different action (Ex. Jump, shield, shoot) or a different part of the main player character's body. They're currently playing Elden Ring and they've split control of the legs, arms and head (so someone moves the body, someone fights with the arms, and the head controls where they're looking at.) It make for some pretty funny moments because you'll have someone walking forward and if the head turns to look in a different direction, they'll walk straight into a bad guy or right off a cliff.

18:18 "I just came.." [slight pause] -Matt Arnold No inappropriate joke on the pause from the Gamer-Stack? Beth being sick blows chunks.

Walker

FYI I'm pretty sure the friendslop game they're describing is Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, like almost exactly

Nick Berre

Control universe and Alan wake are peak

withinmyself

I have wildly different opinions on the gaming takes being presented here.

Snake River Bushcraft

how could no one ask Wookiepedia? or am I mishearing? Wikipedia is not a good source for this stuff lol.

God of War is absolutely not the same thing as Dark Souls. And I get what you're trying to say about both being 3rd person and both have you slashing enemies. But, to me, this is the same thing as saying Friday the 13th is the same as American Psycho, because the main characters both use knives to kill people. So, same thing, right? And the comment about having lack of story misses the point of Dark Souls ( GoW's story is more of a convenient vehicle for the mechanics and equipment and character development, but that's another conversation ) Dark Souls presents atmosphere and lore that allows a player's imagination to flourish. Its lack of clear dialog and nonlinear approach to level progression while figuring out how the world connects with itself is something of an introspective journey within yourself. Couple this with failure you can learn from and triumph you can bathe in, and you end up with self discovery and understanding akin to months of therapy. I'm probably over-inflating the significance of a Dark Soul's gaming experience out of bias, but I've been playing video games since the mid 80's. I have a ton of experience with this topic. And I have a lot to say about a lot of games. I already think it's unfair to lump games into genres, subgenres, and cross comparison genres like Metroidvania. So I can't help but defend gaming itself when I hear such a throwaway comment that carelessly writes off a couple games as being the same thing recycled in different forms. So while I do love Dark Souls, and most all FromSoft games. This is about the overall impression that games can have on player's lives. Tl;dr I'm a passionate gamer and you're wrong

Nobi Wolff

Call me when Final Fantasy 6 gets the remake respect it deserves

B. J. Boyd

Will is asking the important questions. How do 5 people control a giant robot at the same time?

Fava and Bedderman

I've started calling a small group of my friends the Gaymer Stack because we're all queer and we like to all lay on top of each other in a big pile and play videogames.

Laci B

gamer stack is okay IF the next episode compensates by letting beth talk about titanic and house MD for 20 minutes

Sir. Corny Neck

I've never related to Will more than trying to explain my thoughts to people who just don't understand it lol

Laci B

edit: 30 minutes

Thomas Mann

If only Beth was here and she could tell the boys that wills argument about what Yoda is and his annoyance with it is literally a Rick and Morty episode, this is why we need Beth lol

Kayleigh

I would argue that the Tt Lego games are fun for the sake of fun.

Laci B

edit: 40 minutes

Goliathspider22

That 4 player Voltron game does exist, it’s called Override: Mech City Brawl and there is a sequel

Michael Purscell

The Sith went to the Gobush homeworld to rebuild because they knew Yoda was so painfully embarrassed by his species that they’d be safe from the Jedi there

Josh Christopher

I’m crying at my cubicle listening to this holy shit

Wade Barfuss

20 minutes in and I straight up forgot this was a dnd podcast

pulled a muscle yearning

A sci fi office comedy where a new hire starts and no one knows what type of alien he is, but also no one wants to ask, but everyone HAS to know

Cameron Templeton

I love how unhinged Talking Dad is getting season after season. The part where they talk about the episode isn't really for anybody anymore. They don't like doing it and it's rarely good. The main show is just a romp at this point unlike season 1 that had some real depth to dig into. If they just replaced it with a second podcast where they talked about movies and games that's really all we've ever wanted from them.

Cartwheel Skeleton

For Anthony, Babu Frik is an Anzellan and I also fucking love them lol

Tony Loch

I absolutely loved octo dad

Jacob

Ive been wondering when you guys would talk about disco elysium and of course its the most broed out episode imaginable losers

Tturrtles

Gamer stack, i think we edged reinventing Evolve for but the briefest of moments.

liam morin

nah will is valid. making it a mystery is weird. i didn’t need to know when i saw the movies, but the idea no one knows is silly

Cassie Muldrow

Lol I also worked at Blockbuster Video. It's absolutely wild how angry people would get. One lady screamed at my 19 year old self SO HARD over five dollars worth of late fees that I wound up crying after she left.

Russian Guyovitch

I love these safe spaces. I just wonder how off the rails it could be if Beth subbed in for one of them....but which one 🤔

Tony Loch

I thought it was a great episode, even if I kind of saw the twist coming. The arc so far has had great story telling, and I really like the ups and downs of the season so far. The masturbation jokes aren’t my brand of humor, but not everything has to be for everyone.

FROGGLE Dubs

Gamer stack assemble!! I made a game called FROGGLE (not FrogDoggle!) and I would love if my fellow Daddies fans would give it a try! It is a roguelite dungeon crawl to save an adorable Tadpole named Tapo! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4333900/

starlightmeg

They absolutely say that Jabba’s a Hutt in the movies

Matt SandSweep

I want to know what the gamer stack’s thoughts are on Mixtape

clemmie & gil

is kingdom come deliverance spreadsheets or parkour?

John Ring

It was actually George Lucas himself who insisted that Yoda's species remain a mystery. So, this is not fan-lore, this is from the top.

Jessica

I came here to say this!

Blake Perryman

I work in a doctors office. One time a patient knocked while I was taking a dump, and when I came out he was still outside the door so I panicked and said “Don’t worry I kept it warm for yah, Boss”

Sea Hag

I don't know that it'll get you any *new* fans but I thought this episode was hilarious

NolanVGC

The Matt revealing what Yodas speciales is the funniest thing ever

Adam

“They’re Gabooshes now?!” “They’re Gabooshes now.”

Linnea Lindstrom

I wish I could hear anything other than Charlie Brown grownup speak when Gamerstack happens. 😅 I just can’t handle it. I know, I know. I’m broken. K love you byeeee

Ryan Lim

First I was mad they weren’t talking about the episode, then they started talking about DE and then I was fine

Super Pops

Fuckin love Disco Elysium

Anthony Monachino

I'd suggest playing either Star Trek: Bridge Crew or Artemis: Bridge Simulator. Prefer Artemis but... Yeah. Running a ship in space is interesting. Same idea with uhh... Pulsar: Lost Colony? Good things you guys need to coordinate over.

Mel Mel

Speaking of grogu I watched the new film. Only seen the first 2 seasons of Mando so maybe that makes a difference But when Grogu is wondering alone and picks up a stick I (AND MY FRIEND) legitimately though he was going to fall into a goddamn time vortex and go back in time and just be Yoda. And yes that's very very dumb. But also would be an hilarious left turn for the film to just leave all the hutts behind with zero explanation for their story 🤣

Mel Mel

I adore that game. So stressful but fun (esp with 2 people 💀)

Patrick T

Yoda is an alien frog, alternate name is Muppet.

Shannon

Failure to Launch is an awful movie.

kadable

To each there own, I definitely subscribe for behind the scenes rather than mid gamer takes and movies I haven’t watched, tho I enjoy those bits as well!

Emma Tim

Anyone who likes Disco Elysium should check out Esoteric Ebb. It's made by some of the people who made Disco and it's a D&D version of it. Very worth it.

Jessica

I hope they're proud of themselves as this got me to finally purchase disco Elysium and stay up way too late playing it and now I'm exhausted waiting around to not get selected for jury duty

Taryn

Frankly Gamer Stack should be a spinoff Patreon podcast. I love it as long as we’re not talking about hangars. 😂 My grandmother was the person who got me into video games. She was 67 when she died about 16 years ago but she would have been an amazing twitch streamer I feel like. She would have told it like it was like Will’s aunt and people would have lived for it.

C Buff

Rip Beth, i wanted to hear more thoughts on the ep but it got side barred for a bit, one of the best episodes in a bit given 3 minutes

C Buff

Genuinely ruined my mood to hear a good episode not even acknowledged, Will had a great point on the freddy comment but nooe that'll never be explored because we want to be nostalgic for legends of zelda

Aaron Nier

Matt talking about his time in customer service made me think of about all the similar things that happened to me over the years in a decade of restaurant work, and made me feel seen. Thank you Matthew Arnold

Maxxie Ryder

skyrim mentioned <3 ily skyrim

Risotto

Sounds fun! I'll check it out :D

Trevor T

Talking about Yoda's species really reminded me of Story Break

Iaspiretobesoup

I need an MBIC that is Will's Star Wars opinions and takes

Red

Can you please talk about the episode more? That was pretty weak guys.

Red

Agreed. I listen to these at work and had just listend to the main ep, was excited to hear them talk about it. What a disappointment

Burk

There’s a fascinating noclip doc about Disco Elysium, big recommend

Oof

The Gamer Stack crew seems so much happier and energetic when a girl isn't around 😆

Piotr Drobczyński

I recommend checking out Esoteric Ebb if you like Disco Elysium

Toasty

Totally agree but they’re definitely just ruthlessly bullying him 😂

MfShark

Gamerstack: The First Most Problematic Left Leaning Video Game Side Podcast to a Side Podcast to a Dungeons and Dragons Podcast

Logan Richards

Yall need to check out How Many Dudes? On steam

Tom

Ive always wanted to see an asymmetrical multiplayer game where one player is in vr and the rest are on pc. I feel like that would work pretty well for a 1 v 100 type game. Im genuinely suprised that doesnt really exist yet

Clove

Wait wait wait what video game did will and his sister make???

Brandon Sifuentez

I agree with Will lol I wanna hear about the episode. But also this is your art I just need some Beth 😂

Brandon Sifuentez

This is fun in a “oh wow men are bad” kind of way

Traumagotchi

This conversation reminded me of an asymmetrical game I consider to be underrated, Evolve. If you guys remake Evolve and add in some form of "many generic hunters vs real world creature" let me know!

Quito Ollero

Will’s frustration around Yoda’s species is so valid. An alien species so rare and secretive that not only do we not know their planet of origin, we don’t even know their name. It isn’t even recorded in the vastness of the Jedi libraries. And yet at one time during the era of the Republic/Fall of the Jedi, there were THREE members of that species on Coruscant in the Jedi temple/order - an 800 year old senior male, a 400 year old adult female, and a 20 year old male baby. And despite being keepers of knowledge, the Jedi (nor anyone else) knows what alien species these 3 belong to? I get that never revealing it was George Lucas’ intent, but I can absolutely understand being frustrated with the logic of the “mystery.” But it is funny to see Matt steamroll someone other than Freddie tho 🤣

Patrick Morris

Isnt like a big part of the mandalorian tv show that no one knows what grogu is? So when Matt's asking where is that lore they made a whole TV show about it.

Smo

God I love gamer stack

Rargona

Re, the “what do you get out of games?” And Anthony’s answer. I just started fighting games this year and the sense of progression and fulfillment in my own abilities is unparalleled in other games. The most rewarding experience ever, 10/10 would recommend

Chalk

You guys should do a miniseries just with Freddy where it is an alternate universe where Tony collete survived

Chalk

Bonus series idea: only Tony collete in a universe where he escaped

Anna

My favorite dnd podcast talks about my favorite video game (disco elysium)… arguably this could have gone on for far longer than it did

TyGamer63

Gamerstack let’s goooooo!

Mika Aapakallio

love the convo about games trying not to be embarrassing as someone whose biggest win this summer was the KH4 trailer 🩷 my friends ARE my power, and I'm theirs

Sebastian Ma

There’s a DnD version of Disco Elysium called Esoteric Ebb! Was an interesting gameplay experience :)

Alexis Marie

I legitimately think you guys should have a podcast just about Star Wars stuff. Every time you talk about it I’m dying laughing

Drake Nuzzo

Stardew ISN'T A GOOD LOOKING GAME?? 💀

SenorBumFace

Thank you Anthony for recommending "Into The Deep", also Beth who it was in honour of.

Jakob Medlin

I think it’s insane that Freddie said that about halo. Halo is master chief.

berryawkward16

Well now I need Beth's True Crime recommendations! Pretty please 🙏

Just Jake

GAMER STACK 4 LYF (but i still miss beth)

Marissa Y.

Ah yes, the two genders: God of War and Uncharted. Anthony's love for Dragon Age and Morrigan always hits.

Nikofoshizo

Damn I liked wii music😅

Mossy_Zambo

Will said it best, this sucks

Creekie05

The fact that yoda’s species is unknown is on purpose

Creekie05

Also, I love that will loses it when he gets frustrated.

Creekie05

Admiral akbar is a calimarian

Cody Russell

This is the first time I’ve ever enjoyed hearing a bunch of nerds argue about Star Wars.

Bethany Yuly

The show Into the Deep was SO good! What a great suggestion.

sdlite

Team Will here! It's absolutely insane that in a series where the vagina monster from Return of the Jedi has pages written about it, but no one bothered to figure out Yoda's species

Damarin, known to the otters as Slippery Slope

Some folks basically created the Disco Elysium TTRPG by reverse engineering the video game, it's called Jamais Vu, I've been running one-shots in that system and I love it. Definitely check it out!!!!

Jacob

Ikr? The best

Jacob

Yes please

Kit Schmunk

The limb game they are looking for, wildly, is Octodad: Daddliest Catch.

Kit Schmunk

Omg, I just commented this too.

Michael G. Masukawa

Ok, so Beth is right that this group can't play a bunch of women, but otherwise you guys could totally use "Brindlewood Bay" as a between seasons mini-series. Its a PBtA TTRPG cozy murder mystery TV game about murder-solving grannies with a Lovecraftian backdrop. Most notably, the mysteries aren't scripted and the group uses the game mechanics to discover the plot through play. My group played through a campaign and it was one of our favorites.

Alex Mendoza

God I love gamerstack so much

Iain Macalister

Override: Mecha City Brawl is a Co-Op game where up to 4 players can control the one mech. It's great fun

IamSparloo

Bethisode!!!! Like when they all pretended to act like girls so Beth could do girl talk

Corkboard Podcast Network

Just came here to mention that the multi-limb control game they are talking about WAS made- PsyOps.

CyanideXD

I know Im so late, but I just need to say that Will is right

DeviantRabbits

I really hope they don't add voice acting to the Ocarina of Time remake. I had an immense sense of frustrating dread and foreboding thinking about that again, but then Will had his tirade on Yoda which really helped me decompress. So thanks Will! Your anger helped me get over mine. Here's hoping the mystery on that Yoda fellar gets solved 🤝

Devon Willingham

Real steel is a great movie. It’s also a horse movie
