This is what I want to happen as soon as woolie gets his hands on the controller

That is still one of the greatest moments.

You're perfectly welcome to find a new place.
Damn, that was quick.
 
Is FNF pretty much a little over a year old now at this point? I really like it's addition especially because they could be playing fucking anything

Edit: Just went and checked next weeks FNF marks a full year of the series.

I'm over the novelty of it honesty. Unless it's something hype like Ultimax I don't care about seeing the obscure fighters anymore.

I don't watch it attentively or anything but it's nice to have in background when Im going to bed on Friday nights or when Im getting ready to do shit Saturday morning

Yeah. I think its my favorite thing on the channel right now. I way prefer the obscure stuff they do rather than the ones that are well known. I can't wait for the new one tonight.
 
If there's anything I'd still have interest in them playing for Fisticuffs, is any of the old Sega Model 2 fighting games. At least play Fighters Megamix for god sake, where else can you play as the Hornet car from Daytona in a fighting game?
 
I hope they do an SMS with Dragon Charlz some day. Just like a huge selection of the worst fighters ever and having fun with them.
Possibly drunk as well.

Pat's just gushing over all the shortcut porn there is in Bloodborne. It's great.

Hey guys, remember that moment in the Rev2 LP where
the statue explodes
and Pat said they didn't take damage because otherwise it'd be total bullshit?
Yeah, it's total bullshit.

Yeah, my buddy and I found that out the hard way.
I think they happened to be just far enough outside of the blast radius that it either did zero or as close to zero damage as possible.

Yeah that would be super hype. Tho I think it would only be one video per game still. I need to see the SMS of Dragon Master with both of them.

You can do it! I believe in you!

I have this problem with Dark Souls in that every time I come back to it all of my "skill" has atrophied and by the time I get back to where I was in terms of ability something like an exam will come along and I set it down for awhile and have to start from zero again

If I just keep chipping away at it maybe I'll finish it before the BB lp is over :) I'm kind of confused about it though; when are you "done" with the game? How much is there after you get the vessel thing? I've been led to believe that there's still basically another 50% of the game after that

It blew my mind when I was dicking around in the swamp and found that hidden zone under the tree

FNF is mostly a disappointment to me because they're generally pretty long vids and unless its a really hype game or one I actually care about, I end up getting bored of it halfway through. Fighters get repetitive to watch.

So on Friday nights I end up being like "Oh man I wonder if we'll get *insert hype LP here* toni- AW FUCK ITS FRIDAY."
 
That is some grade A level design.

Dark Soul-esque.

Every shortcut blends so well together. The city feels so labrythian.

And Pat said this was from the B team at From? Damn.
 
Damn I really wanna watch the Bloodborne LP but I wanna play the game pure and I still lack a PS4, so I'm severely lacking in best friends LPs :< I'm not watching Madworld so the only thing i'm watching revelaitons.

Ok, so you're actually totally wrong:

The level design is more like Demons' Souls than Dark, with all the shortcuts and the hub world. It is a blend of both.

This isn't the B team at all. He constantly accuses DkS2 of that.

I really like fnf. They seem to have tons of fun doing them. Yeah, a normal lp ep would be better, but i think they're a nice bonus.

Yeah I tend to resent FNF for coming out and not only being boring but being long as shit AND taking away from a really good LP currently going on.

Did you stop yourself reading/watching anything about Bloodborne? Part of the hype behind the game in the first place is because it's a Miyazaki game.
 
That Fist of the North Star video made FNF worth it even if I'm not interested in a lot of the more obscure fighting games. But I can always watch a round of Third Strike.

I don't even care that Pat didn't
talk to the girl in the window.
The fact that he didn't bow to the Doll when he left the dream is the real crime. Downright disrespectful.

Just finished Bloodborne few moments ago. Amazing game, strong GOTY contender (although I imagine Persona 5, MGS V and possibly Xenoblade Chronixles X will make it a tough contest). Not much to say that hasn't been said already: I really love the more character action-y combat style, and the level design is one of the best in any game ever. I guess my only nitpick (aside from load times) is that
areas generally don't have more than 2 or 3 different enemy types
, but that's how it's been since DeS, so anyway.
As for game's story and lore... Man, remember in the beginning of DS2 LP, when Pat talked about understanding the lore of Souls-games?

"You play through the game, read all the item descriptions, talk to everybody, and then you beat the final boss and go "What? I don't get it." Then you beat it again and go "I still don't get it." Then, in few months, you go to EpicNameBro's or Vaati's channel where they explain it to you, then you play through it again and go "OOOOH!""

I have new appreciation for that explanation. That's so on-point.

It's this for me, but instead of Vaati's channel I'm waiting for the 500 page guidebook with interviews and information.

Actually having to understand everything through these tiny threads is really fun. I love that storytelling.
 
...why the fuck did I never think to shoot the pig in the face when it's charging?

Pat's continuing to discover shit I never realized.

Though I'm now looking forward to next part when the boss beats their shit in and Woolie gets his chance to play.

Because It would have killed you if it didn't work, and parries usually only work on humanoid enemies.

Edit: I would be more experimental if the dying wasn't followed up by an hour long loading screen

I don't know, it seems logical to use the gun to interrupt enemies in any way you can.

Pigs are always assholes.

Not really.

In other news I am not so patiently awaiting the next LiS eps from SBF, my need to see how their choices affected the 2nd ep is really OP, especially since this time I played it before seeing what they did.

Is it worth buying the season pass? ws Eps2 as good as Eps 1?
