Fuck it lol I won't even bother. I can't exactly scrub 5 years of podcasts/videos to get the quotes I want. Still, them jumping on the Souls train this late in the game still cracks me up.
There's a reason I posted in this thread after this long. It's pretty obvious why all of a sudden this site that shunned Souls is dedicating hour long sit down talks about it. They realized this ain't some niche game anymore.
Well, of course they would want views, that is the whole point of the website. But being honest: Vinny was always interested in Dark/Demon Souls, Brad tried in his charity stream and probably warmed to the game and Volgarr probably made him more comfortable with difficult but fair hack and slash games. Vinny enthusiasm, Brad not wanting to play only DOTA2 for the rest of his life and his promise of doing something with the souls games after the charity reached certain goal, probably made them go for Dark Souls.
Good for them and for the games.
Did their fanbase only just get interested in a 3 year old game? Considering I was a member of that fanbase, the answer is no. But we were the minority..
HAHAHA What? Even Jeff was surprised when Loading your last souls was their top suscriptor feature and commented about being about an old game. Also, do you remember this thread when Ryan played Dark Souls or when Vinny mentioned Dark Souls in the podcast?
