somebody's watching me
Did they ever do a podcast where they talked about Kill La Kill? I just finished it (thanks netflix, now i'm some kind of dirty anime watcher) and i'd like to hear their opinions on it.

Woolie just needs to beat 2 more boss souls, drangelic castle, the 5 areas leading to the Ancient Dragon, 3 memories, beat the King, do 3 entire DLC's, and then beat the last 3 bosses in the game.

Should be over next week.

Nothing is worse than Nuzlocke, at least you can't really grind in Dark Souls so we're not just watching chatter about nothing for thirty minutes about nothing. My only real beef about DS2 is Pat needs to eat a slice of humble pie, because he keeps getting gameplay information wrong and misrepresenting lore.

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.

Also being able to respec. And the way infusions work, the fact that they don't remove stat scaling and they're independent of overall upgrade level. And how weapons have innate damage modifiers for two-handing, so you don't end up with stupid poo poo like a weapon doing the same damage when two-handing as when one-handing just because it has no scaling bonuses.

I'm not going to make any exhaustive lists but there's a lot of quality of life improvements in DS2's mechanics, and I'm not just talking about the framerate.


Tae posted:

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).

There are. I've seen them with my very own eyes in the comments on some of the Best Friends LP videos. I know, youtube commenters and all that, but still. Some of them were talking about how they missed jumps all the time in DS2 but never in DS1, which is straight out of bizzaro-world because I have the exact opposite experience.

It's not even that, this really has nothing to do with DS itself but he's really playing up his role as a dick a bit too much. Like, what the heck drove him off the deep end?

Pat can be wrong about lore and mechanics all day, I have no problem about that. It's his attitude of aggressively being a poo poo to Woolie that makes those things annoying to hear.

Oh, to be clear, I'm fine with him being wrong. It's his attitude of "No I know everything shut up Woolie" when he does not, in fact, know everything.

If Pat wasn't there to poo poo on Woolie, Woolie would still be standing in Iron Keep trying to figure out how to dodge the fist slowly approaching him.

I enjoy the antagonism, it's the lack of that kind of thing that makes say, the Nuzlocke so terrible at any point in which Liam's not actively trying to get Woolie killed. Or pretty much every single Matt/Woolie video, where the two of them tend to just agree on everything.

Yeah, I agree. It gets really old when Woolie proves him wrong, right there in front of him, and he still learns nothing.

People all have their own tolerances for how they can act with each other and how much of it is taken seriously, so I tried not to get too bent out of shape about Pat being a prick when Woolie seemed to be okay with it. But the fact is, it's not very fun to listen to someone just relentlessly being a douchebag to someone you don't hate, whether or not the other person is offended. This is not the kind of interpersonal interaction that makes LPs fun to watch for me.

I think it's hilarious and Woolie deserves it because he's a liar and a thief. Also, murdered that guy. (but he should tone it down a tiny bit)

Also, the last two pages just made my last comment stronger.

ALSO, I couldn't really get into the Prison Break LP so DS2 is all I have - it's just too bland in its terribleness for me to care. :smith:

No, it's because the sheer mention of any opinion (fanbase, weapon choice, lore, how to play, DS1 vs DS2) about DS2 generates a long-rear end debate that goes nowhere. If the Democrats got into Dark Souls, there wouldn't be a need for Republicans to filibuster ever.

It's that I find the game to be terrible but somehow also boring. Maybe it's because I found Prison Break the series tedious and it just reflects on that piece of crap.

Which is, again, much like innumerable other video games during the prime of their popularity. What, is this some sort of 'people who like popular video games are all insufferable' kind of thing?

Well, that's partly true, I admit. But to try so hard to single out DS suggests some petty personal reasons on your part.

Every person whose Dark Souls videos were vaguely popular that I've seen has had a metric truckload of people come out of the woodwork to tell them how they were playing it wrong. Every single one. I don't think it's a stretch to say the Souls fanbase is more than a bit anal about things.

It's a real lovely week on the best friends channel. Prison Break has stopped being funny-frustrating and started being actual-frustrating, Dark Souls playthrough will never loving end and is as insufferable to watch as all Dark Souls gameplay videos, and shaolin monks is over now I guess?

Prison Break itself isn't really bad in a funny way, the appeal of that is just Pat dying. It's like his version of Crime Time.

Honestly, mid-tier MK9 is more fun to watch than high level anyway. You're less likely to watch Kabal do his air-fireball for an entire round.

Also, the video isn't actually on their site right now, so just watch it on Youtube.

It's probably one of the best FNF's just because they're right in the meaty part of the curve between 'legit high level' and 'knows the game good' to be fun.

Also, full of technical dramas.

They're kinda very far away from "knows the game good", man. Still awesome, and I forgot how fun Test Your Luck can be when you both don't know how to play.

(I think the closest they got to "high level play" in FNF was 3S, which makes sense because it was "their" game)

Yea rewatching I just remembered since this this is Mortal Kombat and everything cool they did was by accident. Still great video though.
