Never EVER feel guilty with anything you get away with in that game. Dark Souls remembers all that shit and will punish you periodically for thinking you "got away" with something.

Never EVER feel guilty with anything you get away with in that game. Dark Souls remembers all that shit and will punish you periodically for thinking you "got away" with something.
Should I have tried to get through that part the real way, to try and get a good drop off of the knights? What do you mean by "punish you"?
You might get good drops, but until you know patterns of the knights, I don't worry about drops.
As far as punishing you, you'll know when it happens. Just hope your controller is reinforced so you don't snap it in half and there aren't any magazine racks around.
You'll know when it happens, but here is an example from the first time I played:
I had just defeated a major boss in the game, I was feeling really good and felt like I could take on any enemy I came across. On top of that a new area opened up to explore.
So off I go ready to destroy anything that dared confront me. I no joke take 1 step into the new area, trigger a trap get 3 arrows in the face, THEN two guards come down the steps and kill my dude.
It honestly felt as if the game was saying "Know your place".
You did it the right way, Dark Souls is all about bonfires, do whatever it takes to get to the next one. I don't feel guilty at all when those gigantic archer assholes in Anor Londo fall off the ledge.

I looked at Lombax's post for about 30 seconds wondering what Chrono Trigger had to do with Giant Bomb or the P4 Endurance Run before I remembered.

did Gaf hate the CT endurance run?
I've tried to watch the P4 ER so many times. I think I made it to about episode 25 before I gave up. It's so boring.
Chrono Trigger was just as bad, I never watched the last few episodes of that.
I did finish both the BR and JV runs through Deadly Premonition. There was so much weird/crazy/funny stuff going on that it was easy to watch.

So it was like the Persona 4 ER.
Yeah, that was pretty fun. If they ever do another ER they should do that again.

The CT ER was shaky at times, but it definitely picks up once Klepek and Ryan find their groove.
Ah yes, the ol' "rapin' my game" complaint.

I can't ever watch LttP for games longer than a hour or so. It gets to the point where I just want to go play the game myself instead.

Not necessarily hate, but it isn't as fun as the other two, I guess.
It's kind of hard going back to watch the episodes where they read something that tells them where to go, then they wonder where they're supposed to go, wander around for half an hour wondering where to go even though the game told them where to go, and then they realized that the game told them where to go in a text bubble that they scrolled through really fast. Also, half the time they didn't realize that a good offense is a good defense / elemental attacks generally work in their favour so switching up parties is a good thing. It happened a lot and it just became rather tiresome to watch.
The last episode was probably the best one.
Those ERs were among the best ERs.
I've been watching pieces of that here and there. I saw most of their run through Halo CE and about 1/3 of Halo 2 when it was live. The stuff with Alexis' sister was pretty funny, she was all engaged with the chat and having a good time.

Blind LPs usually aren't much good unless the game is garbage and/or the people playing are naturally amusing. The best part of the CT LP was the very end, when they played it live and someone made a Lavos account on Twitter to mock them.
Hahah, that's only because tumblr is down right now.

I still think LP's for story based games worked the best.

They're doing a Press Reset parody and I am looking forward to it more than I am Christmas.
I hope it's that...but more importantly I REALLY hope they won't back out at the last minute and actually go all the way to demonstrate how fucking stupid the whole press reset thing was. I have a feeling they won't go far considering they are talking about other game journalists.

well... video page actually doesn't suck now so that's a good thing!
I must be watching the wrong episodes. I've mostly seen repetitive fights in repetitive dungeons and lots of time spent in menus fusing things. I'm sure it's fun to play, but it couldn't hold my interest to watch.

Persona 4 has some of the craziest shit ever shown in a GB video, and is the prime example of Jeff and Vinny being amazing with improv humor.
The opening is a bit slow as the story establishes itself and Jeff and Vinny slowly figure out how to actually play it, but it's easily the best video series on the site.

Yea the improv stuff in the P4 ER is great.
vinny's ghoul impression had me in stiches
or
"Kill the kid, torch the house, we goota go"

I think Persona might be harder to watch now that it's done. When they did one a day you could just treat the dungeon episodes like a podcast, and half watch it while doing something else. Almost all the S-Link or story stuff is still great though. At the very least you should try to watch it, but skip the dungeon and fusing parts.
No. You miss out on some of the best moments. Like Vinny casting Bufu on things when he shouldn't and any time they died.
