You should do a Mugen Souls QL just to troll.

Why would anyone play a Souls game when you can watch Brad and Vinny play one

I'm waiting for the PC release of DS2. The wait isn't the hard part, it's avoiding major spoilers, something I'm not typically sensitive about but with a Souls game, certain spoilers can hurt the challenge I look for in those games. I have to avoid streams and podcasts that I watch regularly for weeks.
I really want to watch the QL and watch Lobosjr's first play though.

I start a walk as the podcast begins with John Drake, and pass by a can of Diet Coke sitting on a little pole kind of conspicuously. This is fate.

Golden makes fusions good though, so no more Jeff and Vinny spending 10 hours in the Velvet Room!And people still won't listen when I describe why Vanilla > Golden.
(Well, unless you are like me and needed to get the stupid Kaiwan skill).
Was he? Looking on the site, the Wii port is the only video coverage that I saw, but I don't remember who did it.
if you watch the ace attorney investgations ql it becomes apparent than Ryan is the only person in the room who has played the previous games.
i think that's just a little too appearance-based to have any real credibility. Changing an avatar to an anime thing isn't a deterministic factor nor is it a completely reliable indicator of general posting maturity. Dresden has an anime avatar. So does Hitokage, so does Duckroll. So do I. Going to reduce them or me to this composite set of nebulous 'anime avatar' traits, too? I've got a secret for people judging others based on their avatar: plenty of people who don't have anime avatars watch anime. Some people who have anime avatars barely watch any anime. Who fucking knew.
You've officially described the worst thing ever.
Vanilla > Golden.

Vinny's Dark Souls 2 Trailer Remix:

Edit:
I also checked his youtube channel after watching this out of curiosity. He only had 3 videos but I found this gem:

I don't think it has anything to do with maturity, I wouldn't assume anything about a person from them having an anime avatar other than that they are probably into anime on some level. I think pointing out that if you watch anime etc. with any kind of regularity you're probably a little more desensitised to the kind of thing patrick was complaining about is pretty valid. At least when the picture the avatar is from is a pretty similar kinda thing.

Sounds like at the time of recording they haven't realized that the adaptability stat raises movement speed like raising the shield and quicker rolling (Vinny mentioning that he's shield raises really slowly).
Edit: It also takes into account your equip % I believe, so unequipping all that heavy armor might make raising your shield quicker
I took it as more of a "Of course you're going to say defend this thing and not see it as a big deal, you have an anime avatar". Which is still probably a little more mean/dismissive than I would put it, but I think that's actually a pretty valid point, honestly. (Maybe not zaph specifically, but the general conversation about the avatar thing).

It's not really a valid point because you're arguing based on assigning a stereotype instead of the merit of the actual situation.

That's a result of another reason Vanilla > Golden!
It's a really stupid ad hominem. It only got worse.
The stereotype of people who have anime avatars being kind of into anime stuff? Sure.

Another Dark Souls stream? They should check out the PS2 Kings Fields games at some point. I never played them so I'm curious to see them in action since everyone says the were the spiritual predecessor to the Souls games. Of course I could just watch someone else play them on youtube, but wheres the fun in that

It's the stereotype that he is into anime stuff, so obviously his opinion doesn't matter, because he's into perverted cartoon child sex. Which.is literally a point someone in this thread brought up to counter what he's saying.

That's not a bad idea. For UPF they should try the Japan only original King's Field game, as the earliest seed of the Souls games. See how well they can handle launch-era PSOne RPGs in a language they don't understand.
This is true gold, aha.

A thousand times better than the actual trailer.
To me, it's that he's into anime stuff so he's more desensitised to cartoon child sex than the average person so might not see why it's as big of a deal to patrick. And also, lets be honest, he's more likely to defend it.
Antiwhippy

Then at that point your own perceptions of a stereotype is so loaded that you can't honestly tell me that you're approaching the argument with any rationality.
Also it's not really cartoon child sex, it's just cartoon sex. Get it right gosh.

Guys this thread is getting weird in a way it doesn't usually.
Jesus dude.
How about this: I find cartoon sex to be weird and creepy in a similar way to the weird and creepy Mass Effect sex - like puppets being mashed together.
But I find it particularly weird when the characters just look young - echoes of EO4.
Surprise ruined.... I think.
Kinda surprised it isn't a subscriber only feature, but putting a real recent game behind a paywall like that probably wouldn't be great.
How is my perception "so loaded"?
I thought one of the things people were saying defending scenes like that was that japanese culture is different and it wouldn't be that weird there. People into anime and stuff are more exposed to that, and so I can understand why they wouldn't see the stuff in these games in the same way as someone a bit more outside of that stuff. That's all.
I was quoting you on the "cartoon child sex" thing.
Edit: Meh, that last post of mine came across way differently from how I meant it to, my bad. I more just meant people into anime are more exposed the stuff in these games than the average person who isn't. The fact that his avatar was in fact from a picture similar to the stuff in those games that patrick called embarrassing is sort of relevant to that conversation imo.
Antiwhippy

That's fine honestly. I'm more saying that trying to discredit someone with something like their avatar is super dumb. Just derails the conversation away from anything meaningful.

I was assuming the title of the video is a pun sorta, and they're playing Dark Souls 1.

Brad's too honorable to use poison on the 1-4 boss, so playing it myself is the only way to see an asshole wizard.
Oh right, everything's pretty much been Demon's Souls with Brad so far, hasn't it?
I guess that makes it a bit weirder that it's not entitled "Breaking Brad" and it's not a premium video, but cool.

I think Jeff finally booted me from his PS4 friend's list. He sent me a name request, I accepted it, and now a month later he's no longer on my list
I feel hurt.

If you can't whip out a sweet lick on a 6 string Jeff doesn't want anything to do with you.

On the podcast Brad explained that it's just a short check in with Brad and Vinny showing off their builds and playing a bit. I don't think it's a playthrough of DS2.

Problem is, and I'm not saying it's you because at this point I've lost track of the actual conversation, but people mostly bring up anime avatars as a way to dismiss arguments. Not in a "oh it seems like we have different cultural perspectives" way but in a "Of course you think it's ok you freak" way.
Like, talk about what he wrote, not in how he chooses to represent himself. It's fine to take some cues about his perspective or interest from it, but don't make it the main topic.
But whatever, on to the actual topic, I really hope they don't do a dark souls 2 endurance run. Too soon and the site is getting a little oversaturated.
