Haven't watched this yet but I've been going through the Yakuza 4 videos and in episode 16 at a bit before the 25 minute mark Matt jokes about doing an lp of Prison Break. Pat immediately shuts him down and says he's "above that poo poo." I could not possibly be happier about this runback.

This isn't a runback, it's a backdown.

Kinda off-topic: Hey, guys, I found Liam's workout routine!

(I was going to try and find an specific link to the app, but dude mentions "listening to his favorite podcast" right at the end and it's SBFC, so it seemed fitting to post my original source)

They did Cthulhu for the Shitstorm too but the friend cast teaser implied they'd be using that one too. But who knows, maybe Matt's a big ol kidder.

I bet that CoC is one of their more requested LPs

Like, I don't mind Pat if he was wrong, it's that he's aggressively wrong in the "I'm right, shut the gently caress up Woolie." Woolie's actually doing better when he ignores Pat and experiments on his own, like knocking Desert Sorcerers into Poison or shattering the wood shutters in Copse.

Also he tells Woolie not to two hand his sword against the Smelter Demon so he can block. :ughh:

Pat's total lack of understanding of how strength scaling works and what two handing does is probably his greatest oversight. And that's totally not obvious advice, so it's the perfect thing to let Woolie in on; if he got good at switching between one and two hand, he would never need to waste another point on strength.

I see Smeltermania 2014 is off to a good start. :allears:

Gonna be interesting when they beat OIK, since that's the entrance to the new DLC. I have no idea if these recordings are that recent or if they even bought the dlc yet but seeing Woolie try to deal with an area even Pat doesn't know would be amazing.

The recordings are way back, and they're going to do the Sunken DLC first. Which I feel is still suicide, especially if Woolie is struggling hard with regular Iron Keep.

There is no way they should tackle the 2nd DLC unless Woolie goes deathless post Drangelic castle.

I will say I got a kick out of saying "Goddammit Woolie, stop trying to tank the smelter demon, put your goddamn shield away, dodge, and punish," litteraly moments before he put his shield away and resolved to focus on dodging and punishing the Smelter Demon.

He still got his rear end killed, but he's going in the right direction. Shame he doesn't have better pyromancy - flash sweat makes the late stages of the Smelter Fight absolutely trivial. I'm pretty sure when the Smelter ignites his sword, it trades off ALL of its physical damage for fire damage. Wear decent fire armor and cast flash sweat, and if you can live long enough for him to ignite his sword you become almost invincible.

Is it actually worth watching? Even with Matt and Pat at the helm, I still don't know how entertaining it could be to watch a game based on a lovely live action series.

Jesus christ half the game-overs are people that aren't looking at him or, in the latest video, someone that was behind a wall. The game's only saving grace is apparently the most generous checkpoint system outside of save states.

They should get Liam in there for a few Dark Souls episodes. It sounds like Liam understands the game better considering Pat thinks Liam is too reckless and hasty when he plays the game, when that's just the natural result of someone Getting Good at Dark Souls.

Also it would be fun to watch Pat and Liam argue strategy as Woolie just sits there trying to play the game.

Put pat and liam in another room and have them commentate over it :v:
See how long it lasts until one of them bursts into the room woolie is in.

The Dark Souls videos has consistently been my favorite series on the channel for a while, I like it way more than Soul Suspect.

I liked Soul Suspect if only because Matt and Pat kept throwing shade at Liam and Woolie for making it sound like a really decent game when it was just kind of okay.

Prison Break, I hope they finish because it can only end in tears.

I love how nobody in this game ever changes expression at all. It's like they did all the lip-syncing and figured that was good enough.

Never watched Prison Break but I hear that last few seasons got really loving stupid. Given what's happened in this game so far I can't say I'm surprised.

I've never seen the show, and from what I can tell it's about a guy trying to break out of prison by doing a lot of lovely stealth sequences.
