Apparently the game in the latest Mystery Box was released last year. Remember this as you watch it.

I love how you can just hear Pat's soul dying the further in they go. Also this exchange:

"I had to make sure."

"...OF WHAT!?"

Edit: Oh jesus loving christ the plot summary for this is something else:

Wikipedia posted:

Magus has been imprisoned in a tower in the Waterfall Kingdom and tortured for years - his crime is sublime, his history is a mystery, his might is right. Magus remains handcuffed, locked up, imprisoned, static, immovable, clueless, powerless, until a new prisoner named Kinna arrives and forces him to escape from the Tower of Power. Once Magus has escaped then their journey to discover Magus's true identity and abilities, and thus form the Mega Powers, begins. Magus uses chroma magic, his innate talent to absorb power from colored stones in the surrounding environment and then to unleash deadly attacks. Along the way they must face the wrath of the Kingdom Waterfall plus battle them to uncover identity of Magus's purpose.[2]

I was just going to post that. The way Pat says that is pure gold.

To think that people used to poke fun at PS3 games with giant enemy crabs and "BROWN!!" and then this poo poo comes out of nowhere is blowing my mind.

Also, this game came out just 3 months ago a year and three months ago, but it still stands. :aaaaa:

I wouldn't say it's bad, per se, but I would say that it's slowly becoming evident that the story has basically no set direction because of ~plot things~ that happen. A million different things are happening at once and they're all grabbing at your attention to show that they are the most important thing. Unless some miracle happens to tie it all together in the coming episodes I really doubt it's going to end up being satisfying AND coherent, just one or the other. I do hope they play it.

Eh it's just funny seeing them throw everything at the wall and hoping something sticks. Then again that doesn't mean I didn't have fun playing around with it. Least more fun than recent telltale games that have all of the production but little freedom or choice.

Pat's incapable of forming original thoughts and has to parrot ENB when it comes to these games. It's the real reason they took a break.

Also I can't really feel bad about Woolie being sad about snailborne. Like take a joke duder.

To be fair to Chewie the volume of "jokes" is pretty huge for this lp, not to mention the commenters don't always reach the lofty comedic heights that we do in this thread. Joking about Snailborne is fun but all the people clamoring for Woolie to give up the controller at every opportunity seem a bit mean-spirited.

At the beginning of today's Bloodborne video he says this is the first lp where he's tapping out of looking at feedback. They say it's because they're running into too many spoilers, but all the poo poo-flinging probably didn't help.

This, but he's not wrong. If it's just getting salty about Bloodborne then he's dumb, but if it's actual insults and poo poo like that, I can understand.

I find it pretty surprising that they would look at youtube comments at all since they should know people wantonly say whatever the gently caress comes to their mind there and should expect rampant spoilers.

He kinda hints that the youtube comments have been more mean spirited. Not surprised though, Soul fans are the worst in YT comments.

edit: They coulda popped more insight, I mean they did say it was a while since they last did a video.

Well, YT comments are their biggest source of feedback. It's what, that, random Facebook/Twitter comments and NeoGAF?

I'm pretty sure Woolie is a good sport about the Snailborne video especifically, but holy poo poo, the feedback on the Souls videos is something else. I mean, barring the Kennystorm 2014 and maybe Nuzlocke, it never got as obnoxious.
