Wow, the timing of

Woolie pissing and drinking and Pat getting that extra cutscene could not have been more perfect

The giant titan in Chasing Dead is actually pretty cool. I mean, it would be if the game wasn't dogshit but it's some awesome Serious Sam stuff.

How the fuck do you beat Capra Demon?
DS1 has some really bonkers encounters.

Use gold pine resin and kill those Damn dogs
What annoyed me a lot about the latest DS3 episode is
you don't even need to figure Storm Ruler out if Siegward is there. I didn't even find it because Siegward was with me from the first try. He does like 90% of the work and the only expectation placed on you to ensure he survives is to participate in the fight. I would have been less salty if they didn't even get as far as they did with Siegward, because in the end it just felt like a big shame since the ending of his quest is so good.
The key to that fight is killing the dogs immediately. Either rush them, or run to the top of the stairs in the back, where the dogs will follow you way faster than Capra Demon will. After you've dealt with them, the fight is fairly simple. I think you can buy Charcoal Resin for that fight is you're in desperate need of some extra damage.
To be fair to Pat, I've seen other people do exactly the same thing.
He really should've practiced though, yeah. I homeward bone'd myself (heh) out the first time just to figure out how the hell to use it. Really, the Yhorm fight is just such garbage. The other three Lords are interesting fights, and Yhorm is not only a gimmick but it also throws the item at you and pretty much expects you to know to use it as soon as you get it, or otherwise bone out.
He's honestly the cherry on top of the crap sundae that is Irithyll Dungeon/Profaned Capital. The Dungeon, while annoying, at least has some thought put into it. But the Capital...when I heard "Profaned Capital," I imagined something impressive and creepy, but its such a small area and so meh.

It really is. I had such high hopes after the great job they did with Watchers and Aldrich. I walked in there expecting a fight that would top both of them and it didn't even come close. Siegward charging into the fray was cool because I'm a total mark for the NPCs, but when I learned the battle was "Spam Storm Ruler", I deflated like a balloon. It really feels like Yhorm was probably planned as a completely different fight until someone came up with an "alternative" approach.

The fight is kind of okay if you completely ignore the Storm Ruler and just use a long weapon to do charged attacks on his head when he dips down for the machete smash, then take advantage of the resulting stagger to do a critical attack. (Yes, this actually works.)
I would have rather they just built the fight to work properly around that--it doesn't at the moment because the damage threshold and weapon length required just completely disqualify tons of builds--and just provided the Storm Ruler as a less-broken way for people with builds that don't "work" to be able to stagger him.

"Please fuck off out of the videogame." --Woolie, as his soul leaves him.
Oh man that stream is so good as even the framerate gives up. I can't wait for Woolie to die yet again when that lady android game comes out.

The Heavy Rain stream was absolutely amazing and Woolie's body language and reactions as things unfolded were perfect.
And having watched the stream and refreshed my memory as to just how downright dogshit every Madison section is, I realize Detroit is probably going to be one awful borderline-rape scene after another.
(Pre-emptively) Fuck you, David Cage.

He shouldn't get too much. ENB had huge problems with that fight, too, despite actually leaving the fight and reading the item description and taking time to play around with it under controlled circumstances.
Though, at least Pat seeing Squidward use the Storm Ruler properly kept him from spamming it improperly for as long as ENB did.

"Kill-anna will remember that"
Funny how Pat has completely forgotten about The Fair Lady despite finding what looks like her corpse and reading about her in the Toxic Mist.
Also, I'm getting a weird feeling that DS1's Chosen Undead is just being completely removed from canon. the Pyromancy Tome referring to Quelana's pupil is Solomon, not the DS1 protag, so what's up with that?

That does sort of seem to be the case. Ornstein's armor set also makes it pretty clear that he was not killed in Anor Londo, and Smough's set suggests he may have died at some later point after the city fell into ruin.
This an incredibly unpopular view with most of the community, but there's a very strong case that events in DS1 from the player view are not necessarily canon.

Don't look at what you're doing. Flail around randomly.
Yep, that's Capoeira alright, Liam.

Oh woolie please, just cut out this bullshit from Reboot. You've been on this boss for three, four episodes now? We get it, it's really shitty. You could have actually done more in the episode.

In every sense but the physical, Woolie has already been rebooted.
He doesn't but I'm forcing him too.

I really don't understand why he didn't just go look up a strat after the first 30 minutes. It was stupid easy.
The presence of mike0dude indicates that Woolie may not be on total control of this playthrough.

I'm pretty sure the game's plot acknowledges it, since it mentions "another Earth" or something like that.

Interesting info on that Battle Tendency bit, but man, Brennen needs to work on his line delivery. He sounded so phoned in.

Oh man the ending to Zelda p27. Liam really needs to edit more, all these dumb jokes he's creating are too good.
