It was his father's name. Woolie is actually Woolie Jr.

I never laughed out loud as much as I did when they had the Waifu discussion. Pat's first waifu is apparently a girl from...Tekken? Or was is virtual fighter.

If I didn't mishear, I'm pretty sure he's talking about the evangelion character.

Yo Matt, I'm sure it varies from place to place, but Cheesecake Factory is notorious for food poisoning. I'm sure the crapton of food would have caused massive rear end dumping, but the 'batsu might have gotten some skank eats as well. I got the worst stomach flu of my life from there, to the point where I had to go to the hospital because dehydration was a legitimate concern.

It does, which is indeed the main reason they have a problem. With a menu of over 100 entrees, there's no way to have fresh ingredients, and with a kitchen massive enough to cook all this, there's less oversight on individual chefs.

It's from Booker T's Reality of Wrestling show, but more commonly attributed to Botchamania. It was originally featured on #240 but that was taken down, but it's also on Maffew's Listamania

I love Pat's descent into anger in Prison Break. It took around 4 episodes but that game is starting to make him crack.


I really enjoy Matt just laughing at how stupid every death is.

He did in the latest video. Then he stopped because he was getting wrecked by enemies again because for some reason he's not using a human effigy to gain 25% of his life back.

the 25% of his life isn't even the main thing, use it to loving get a ring slot instead of using that lovely rear end ring.

I would probably guess he's going to struggle way more with the NPC's than the Lurker. Woolie can eventually kill the Lurker by getting enough swings with a +10 sword, it's him dealing with cheating NPCs when he's already having trouble taking down enemy grunts without taking damage.

He was getting wrecked because neither he nor Pat know that you only want to 2 hand when it's appropriate, and to learn to switch between the two modes well. He just thought people meant "2 hand always never block", and they tried that and it was bad, so they decided to keep being scrubs.

You can totally play a never block high damage melee character, and it's awesome, but it's done by using power stance rather than a single big sword.

Okay what the gently caress just happened in the latest Prison Break video, did I miss a plot point or something? I'm pretty sure I watched all the episodes, and now it's about killing a guy he wasn't supposed to kill but they talk like that was the mission all along and this random guy said "You'll be free from the Company." Who is he???

edit: Pat, literally the only similarity between the Scorpian Lady and Quelaag is that they're ladies on monster bodies. They don't share any attacks outside of like 1 thrust, how the gently caress is it a rip-off fight.

edit: And they just skipped the Pharros boss.

If this DS2 LP has taught me anything, is that DS fans are insufferable. Well, I already knew that, it just reinforced that belief in my head. Especially the guys that are mortally offended about healing in non-consensual PvP.

Explain yourself. Sure, I'm right there with you on the healing issue, but how is that attitude different from the way pubbies get about PvP in practically any game ever? How are DS fans special?

Dark Souls 1 was superior in every way, but remember to play it first, because you won't want to get into it or go back to it after you've played 2.

This is a logical statement and totally holds together, trust me

I think that almost everybody agrees on the fact that as far as actual game mechanics go, Dark Souls 2 is superior to the first game. The differences in opinions come when you start comparing bosses, the story, level design and other similar things.

I know, I agree with that too. We've been over this many times. I'm mostly mocking people who talk about how DS2 took so much away and barely made any improvements- I think these are mostly people who didn't bother to actually play the game.

Also, there are people elsewhere on the internet who have said almost exactly what I posted in mockery, except completely serious. Nostalgia and fanboyism is a helluva drug.



I'm still on part 27 of the Best Friends DS2 LP. I've enjoyed it but Pat is really killing it for me. It would help if he remotely knew what the gently caress he was talking about, but most of the time he does not. He's just a giant prick who is also wrong.

Shut the gently caress up, Pat.

Really great improvements such as.........four ring slots

Dual wielding, better movesets for existing weapon types (WHIPS), cool new ones (twinblades), and a much better set of toys for magicians of all stripes. There's a lot of mechanical improvements in Dark Souls 2.


Unfortunately it also comes with adaptability, which is the worst idea since Item Burden in Demon's Souls.

Would rather have Adapability than completely useless stats like Resistance. And I bet there are people that unironically miss the Jump button in DS1 (for those that don't know, Sprint/Roll/Jump are all the same button. Jump is sprint first, then double tap the sprint button).

I stuck with DS1 style jumping in 2 because I was used to it.

Resistance being useless has no negative effect on gameplay, Adaptability does.
