And you could feel his features in the air
A wide smile and perfect hair
He had complete control of the rising tides
And a medicine bag hanging at his side

In the flowing blue world of the death-dealing physician
No y'all this was a planned christmas gift to their fans, didn't you watch the video pat says so.

This is Woolie and Pat taking a brave stand over the wave of bullshit that killed two Best Friends, saying "we will NOT be defeated by weapon selection criticism and snailborne edits, the Zaibatsu will LIVE FOREVER!".That or they wanna go down shooting.

edit: okay, Darlington and Pat shoving a bagel on his mouth second one kinda push it towards Falling Down territory.

Hey, so for christmas I watched Kubo and the Two Strings with family on recommendations from SBF and others.

KatTS is a loving mindblowingly gorgeous, wonderful movie, and you absolutely should see it if you haven't.

I picked it up on bluray last month purely from their recommendation and went into it with no knowledge of what was going on (I hadn't even heard about it before and made sure not to watch the trailer either). I concur wholeheartedly with this opinion.

This Mystery Bag is pretty good. Though there's stuff I want to scream at the screen because Pat is asking so many questions that I've already seen the answers to, but I don't want to spoil it.

Death has no meaning thanks to the Dragon Nalls, Hit is super hard to get in touch with, and he's the strongest guy Goku's fought. In context its brilliant.

I literally guessed that as soon as the arc started and it makes total sense if you think about how the character's being portrayed in the series and how the two got to meet. It's "stupid", but at the same time it's in-character without it being a bizarre lapse of judgement.

yeah it 100% makes sense with Goku's logic

"I want to fight Hit at full power but he can't fight at full power unless it's a battle to the death, and he doesn't try to kill people for free."

It's not hard to see that line of reasoning when you keep in mind fighting strong guys is right up there with breathing and eating on Goku's priority list. Plus he even had a contingency plan in case Hit just instantly slaughtered him (which he did).

They're skipping Magfest, which is their only usual con that's going on during Matt's vacation. After that I'm betting it's going to be Matt and Woolie doing most cons.

This is the mentality that got us to the point where giant swords are two thirds of the metagame. Want diversity, you say? Well you could take a smaller sword? :colbert:

The one Souls constant is that regardless of what weapon Woolie decides to use, he's using the wrong weapon.

Is that the current situation in DS3? When I dabbled in pvp close to the release it was just rapiers and straight swords for miles.

I didn't really like pvp in DS3 anyway since I didn't like how it played pvp-wise. DS2 has a ton of weapon/build variety in pvp though.

Most kinds of swords are highly viable, piercing and straight are the top of this list. Greatswords, Ultragreatswords and Curved Greatswords are pretty good, but are vastly more numerous in terms of the weapons that actually exist due to 60+% of all boss souls being transmutable into greatswords. (And that's not an on-the-spot statistic, I actually ran the numbers)

The main issue is that almost everything else sucks, entire classes of weapons just nigh-useless to anyone but the most masochistic of players. Hammers (1h) are total garbage, there's not a single viable hammer. Daggers have a decent weapon art, but are also uniformly garbage. Greathammers are better than hammers, but are largely just inferior Greataxes. Greataxes are pretty solid and surprisingly diverse. Spears are bad to middling, with some that shine over others. Scythes are, again, terrible across the board. There is ONE semi-viable whip in the game and it requires an entire build focused around it to work.

I hated a lot on Dark Souls 2 for being bland and uninspired with questionable level design, but the one thing it did right was the fact that you could pick up just about any weapon and make a weirdo-build that somehow worked to your advantage.

In Dark Souls 3, I'd estimate maybe 20-35% (This one is an on-the-spot estimate) of all non-sword weapons across all types are less effective than the worst straightsword.

Reading this with the voice in your skull.
So only an hour and a half into the podcast and already noticed some stuff:

1) There is no one to reign them in. This is at once both great and terrible.
2) Was worried the podcasts would get shorter. That is clearly not an issue.
3) Things feel way more low-key and relaxed (so far).
4) Way more talk about video games, way less talk about movies/television. Could be imagined.

So far only some JoJo talk, but only because the series ended.

I like this new direction.
