Seriously that third strike video was amazing. This is what I look for in Fisticups. You guys have to return to 3rd strike sometime.

3rd Strike is probably the highest level of play we'll ever see in fisticuffs, but it was excellent.

I swear, Pat is self-aware because he just bombed 3 KnowWhatImean in 10 seconds. I'm so glad they do 2 videos a day now because the previous schedule of a video every other day would hurt so bad.

I don't know about Chico being a good character after you listen to Peace Walker's tapes, but I know that they make Paz a character. Not a good character, necessarily, but an actual character with a personality.

Probably because Woolie worked on Video games QA testing which basically makes Pat's constant nagging a walk in the park in comparison.

Do not work in QA testing.

Are there any enemies or bosses you straight-up can't melee to death in Dark Souls? It doesn't seem like any enemy has physical resistance, so there's no reason not to just bump up all your "whack poo poo to death" stats to maximum to clear the game out.

"Whack poo poo to death" is the way the game is meant to be played on the first time through.

Dark Souls 2 works with different kinds of damage, not just general physical resistance. The three kinds of melee attacks are 'slash', 'thrust', and whatever they refer to blunt damage as. Usually whatever the enemy is made out of determines what it's resistant and weak to; the big guys in the Tower of Flame are made of stone, so they're resistant to slash/thrust and weak to blunt. The generic zombie hollows are more weak to slash/thrust because they're just fleshy dudes wearing rags.

But generally because Strike has no general weakness, the easiest time to breeze through the game is carrying a mace and occasionally enchanting it for bonus damage because a majority of the enemies are armored in some way.

Yeah pretty much. Ironically in a world of swords that are on fire forever and magic that can literally eat your soul, the best weapon for any given situation is a club or a mace.

Yeah I remember them talking about it a while ago, not sure who though. I remember because one podcast they were talking about KLK saying something like "I wasn't sure about Satsuki's mom as the main villain" but then something something molestation so she's for real and then almost literally the next week's podcast was GZ and you got the exact same "I wasn't so sure about Skullface as a villain" but THEN...

Probably meant nothing but it was surreal and unintentionally hilarious listening to those back to back.

This is perfect. Early on Pat was still saying it a lot, but you could tell from the cuts that they were 5-6 minutes apart at least. It comes to a head at the dragonrider/ornstien fights where he's dropping yaknowhatimeans every 20 seconds. I felt like I was having a stroke when I first watched that video.

I want every game to be impenetrable and nuts and made by platinum. I just finished the Wonderful 101, got a ton of consolation prizes but finished it and it was great!

(Platinum games always seem to kick my teeth in the first play through.)

Bayonetta is the best though, I got the platinum trophy in it :)

I just discovered these guys recently and have been going through their videos- any recommendations for the longer series videos on some favorites to start? I actually just finished watching the Indigo Prophecy series they did because I had that game and played about 15 minutes of it, I was curious how the rest of the game was.

Guilty Gear Xrd is pretty amazing in this regard - it's not sprites, but damned if you'd be able to tell at a glance.

I liked the Yakuza 4 run because it's a series I will never be able to play in a million years but now kind of want to. If you liked the Indigo Prophecy run you can't go wrong with the rest of David Cage's Cavalcade Of Garbage. And of course the theme months (Rustlemania, Superfriends, maybe both Shitstorms) are pretty good.

In addition to the earlier suggestions, I'd recommend the I Have No Mouth playthrough. It's not as hype as most of their series, but it's still two cool guys being very interested in a very interesting game.

Their RE2 and Silent Hill: Downpour runs are what got me hooked on the brothers(friends, whatever) also the Persona 4 and LA Noir vids they did for Machinima are their best single vids.

loving right? Normally I don't care about Liam's one sided argu-rants (well except when he was all "LET ME JUSTIFY PUTTING NEAR NAKED 15 YEAR OLDS IN MY GAME DAMNIT!") but he was arguing that they should make it 3D to make it more accessible and make money for the company but they'd have to make the models which would cost money especially after they just got done spending a ton of money making those gorgeous KOF13 sprites. Really came off as a "I don't care, IIIIII like persona, so change it" sorta thing instead of something logical and I have a feeling if Matt was there he'd give him the nudge and the Lenny/Carl 'shaduuuuuuuuup'. But he's dead now. Dead in a Cuban prison fortress.

Well, KOF 12/13's sprites started life as 3D models in the first place (admittedly with months of pixel-art re-touching after the fact) so it wouldn't be completely from scratch, especially if, again, they imitated all the crazy poo poo Guilty Gear's doing.

KoF can make several 3D models for the cost and time one 2D HD sprite is gonna cost them. If they want to do it and do it well, I see no problem with them switching to 3D models.

Oh I have no doubt. I'm just saying they already have the gorgeous sprites done and so just using them again is very little money spent. I mean gently caress if Capcom can use that same Morrigan sprite for 49 and a half years I think it's ok if they double up on KOF13 sprites. That and they LOOK SO loving GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

Despite Pat playing DS1 and DS2, he seems to way overestimate fall damage. Latest video and the one where you get Knives back in Giants are like baby damage when you fall.
