Ep. 243 - Yard Essentials: Building Aiden & Ludwig [VIDEO]

Nicks choice of the Vitruvian Man and orbs is kinda just making Zenyatta from first principles.

Asked how it would be in Dark Souls and didn't go with Shameless King. smh

New favorite ep

lttl bnr t th hngt has strong fav fob song energy

Can Nick do a class on photoshop for the Patreon lol

The same way nick talks about falco is how I feel about siegfried in soul calibur. Its surreal man. Video games really are beautiful

Its so funny when they talked about someone whos great at games and funny, Arteezy was the first person to come into my mind as well

Bro can Miles replace Aiden when he leaves for Sweden?

59:25 hate to be that guy but fist of the North Star is an 80s manga & anime that got an unfaithful movie adaptation that slime is referring here. The manga is actually beautiful drawn

Beautiful that there was so much good shit that luds song didnt make the list

Dude, Stacy’s mom has like actually got it going on though.

Every time they say "unnamed smasher" I can't help but think about how funny it would be if the smasher was Hbox

The breakdown of Lud's acting chops will become legend

Nick put into words how falco feels 😭

I go back to the cornbase commercial like once a quarter

Love that orbs clearly come from The Defect from Slay the Spire subconsciously infecting Nick

Have they talked about Aiden being hung before or are we all just finding this out at the same time

RTJ went hard as fuck when i was in high school

can't talk about EL-P like that man...

I love the fact that their idealized bodies of Aiden and Ludwig are the Godskin duo

What Nick said about falco is honestly one of the most beautiful things ive heard in a long time.

“Even the women” glad they remembered us for once

dude putting slime onto the wahlid lore is so fire

Worst thing about run the jewels albums is that NONE of them come close to Company Flow.

ah yes, the L.B.A.T.H. (little boner at the hangout)

Trevor Evarts, the dude who plays basketball w/ Lud & Aiden (he's from Smosh & Mythical Kitchen), also did a pretty public change to a hair system after wearing hats, bandanas and hiding his hairline during his internet career.

I think you guys think that Ludwig is much funnier than Aiden, or that you have more respect for him as a "funny person". And that's probably true over the totality of your friendships together. But from my POV, the Aiden moments covered in this episode are miles more hysterical than the Ludwig ones. I found that very interesting (value neutral statement)! Great episode.

90 minute preemo after that fever dream of a main, the Yard boys are really treating us nice this week

I'm a family new Patreon member, and I'm honestly kinda confused fellas. Is it only the "premium" episodes that get posted here? I hopped over bc I thought it was like an extended cut of the new episode on YouTube. You know, the one with the togas and punishment devices

I sincerely love that this many years later y'all are still having "melee is jazz"-esque convos. As someone who found you guys all the way back with slime on the scene, its beautiful that the game is still such a huge part of your identity. Nvm, I just got to the part about sheik mains and I don't want to hear that from the guys who barely play the game

the whole section of nick talking about melee was really beautifully put and resonated with me heavily as a melee player myself, i haven't competed nearly as much as i used to in the past year or so and there's a real fear of letting it all go and not being able to move my guy (marth) around anymore. crazy how melee is just so ridiculously goated that that kind of fear even exists lmao. and also yes sheik players are unfeeling androids who desecrate the beauty of our game

Aiden is just the dark horse. When they hit, his bits are top tier

These episodes have made me feel confident that when Aiden moves to Sweden we will be eating good still.

1.5 hour primo ooo that feels good

how to use dropshadow?

Nick talking about how he feels playing falco is pretty much how I feel whenever I start playing a couple specific rhythm games. I sit down and then my means of controlling the game just feels like it’s part of me. It’s harder to explain without having like a character to view yourself through but it’s interesting how that same sentiment can apply to very different types of games

Mario Party League being mentioned here reminded me how very recently I was sad that I wanted to watch the MPL triple feature, to find out that MPL 3 got deleted/delisted.

It would never be as good but a dumb part of me wants Nick and Slime to do this with Nick and Slime

1:24:10 pge

The medallion is yours

This episode was so wholesome. I loved this :') Also Slimeball was a generational episode to come into this with. Top tier week for The Yard

i quote the 'drinking hot cum at cafe nero' all the time, always stuck with me its so funny

The extension of self segment made me tear up when he said "It felt like I went home for the weekend".

Astrogoblin photoshop episode. Well, a little different

Link to the chill music playlist?

I think lud's skill at games is at the peak of what makes an entertaining watch outside of just the spectacle of being good. Which is to say I don't think he'd be more entertaining if he were better, because he can be a shitter in a way that is just too entertaining sometimes and the idea of losing that is just too sad. And it makes when he succeeds pay off so much more.

i think this is easily my favourite episode of this show, i really like when you guys analyze your comedic styles, i feel like it's part of what makes this podcast unique and it's not only funny but interesting and insightful. Also, the thing about nick talking about how he really connects with falco resonated with me pretty deeply, and i think it speaks to how you guys are willing to get very genuine and honest and talk just about how you feel something and maybe that thing is weird but it's how you feel, which is pretty rare in this general space.

Man. What a special week

Release the unredacted slime ball we want the prentis

Fist of the North Star is a shonen manga not a kung fu movie

why is the camera cutting back and forth haha

How do they never get to “silly willy” am I crazy or dumb

I watch the Jean Pierre clip at least once a month. I die laughing every time

As funny/insane it is to message someone for a quarter, it doesn't feel like the inverse was ever held to the same scrutiny. So a guy owes Aiden money, and deliberately Venmo's him a non-exact amount? It's not like he handed Aiden cash and said "sorry can i just give you $X, I don't have any change". There's nothing barring this person from just sending the right amount, unless their bank balance is 0. It's a faux pas to ask for the difference, but so is sending less than what you owe with no reasoning. Idk just call me a feminist I guess!

"What's your favorite trait about Aiden?" "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"

hour and a half premo??? On the day I got my first HRT labs??? boys you spoil a young lady!!

Didnt slime see Aiden’s hard penis when he shared that story of asking a friend of his to critique his nude in one of the early premium episodes

I believe El p said that word too

I feel like the inherent silliness of "the willy to be silly" makes it kind of beautiful

My ep

Dark souls shameless Boss Name: "Adion The Embodiment of Shame"

I think this is the first premium ep to be longer than the main

power hour

Uncensored main ep?

Yall should play deadlock

Referencing the fist of the North Star movie over the anime is kinda beast ngl

David Guetta being sold as a Roblox streamer is top 5 on my list.

Watched it after the audio, was not expecting the set up nor the beauty of orba

watching this first since the main ep isn’t out yet

Really beautiful what Nick said about melee.

Me when I use the device

im greeking out

nick genuinely looks so different face on

wahoo!
