I think it's not just his line delivery. A lot of my annoyance is with the way he's written, too. He talks like he's from 2018, not 618.
I also hate his face.

Patrick's been on this whole kick about Bloodborne having this fantastic narrative and characters that he never knew because it's not very clear in the game, and how that is a better way of storytelling. But I can't get behind that notion. If the sum of your story is hundreds of people creating conspiracy theories that may or may not be correct, then in my eyes you failed at expressing your story. I'd rather have a fleshed out world and characters like in Horizon and The Witcher that also reward you for delving deep on your own than a game of vagaries that leave you with little notion of what you saw.
Thank you for powering through! It took me until late Sunday to finish the show since I was off for 4.5 days. I know it was a super long show, but if it makes you feel better, it was 4 hours and 15 minutes before I started editing.
Thankfully, most of our listeners seem to like our long shows. I definitely like long podcasts, and can't wait for the Giant Bombcast GOTY Deliberations in December, which usually gives me about 20 hours of podcasty goodness at the end of the year.
The reason I hate hearing myself is because of my lisp. And also a general hatred of the way I talk. Especially the stuttering, which I cut out as much as I can.
Find the Hackthought Podcast, then listen to The Sandwich Saga Condiment Episode, Deepu Edition. You will then learn all you need to know about Deepu. Also hoping to have him on episode 143.
After Angelo left, Patrick suggested Mike as his replacement, and I told him that Mike would end up treating him like Deepu if he was a regular part of the show...
Oh man, somehow this comment didn't load for me or something when I went to the site on recording day, so we didn't get these excellent comments into the show. :(
I do love how a lot of things boil down to "throw the kids in a murder scenario and see who lives."
So, this is curious to me. You say you're a coward, but you've watched all of the Silent Hill games in Let's Play form? Does the scary come from not watching it passively, but controlling the character? I mean, that's why I prefer horror games to horror movies, but I can still find the occasional horror flick that scares me.
It was that last scene with the mom in the attic that did me in on Hereditary. It was just so creepy and off-putting, and it stayed with me for weeks.
Ah, I see! Whew, you were about to catch these hands...
