How could you say that Smushy is a monster, he's just searching for his friend! You guys are playing on PC, right?

drifterofhell posted:Yeah I didn't notice it until blister said something, but I went back and checked that it's not an annotation, it's in the video itself. Yeah, I've been following these guys a while and I thought it was an annotation. Maybe it ruins that one corner of the screen, but the fact that I've watched hours of video so far and it never occurred to me that I should close the water mark means it's pretty unobtrusive

I wouldn't point out that the chaos witches are an example of misogyny in dark souls, they're tragic figures who were birthed when their mother tried to reignite the primordial flame with parts of her own soul. That being said, Sigmeyer's daughter is the only female character who is actually portrayed well and/or isn't trapped at a bonfire and even she has to be rescued....

Dooky Dingo posted:I, personally, also like the character of Priscilla the half-breed, who, while being absolute furry fan-service, actually does a very good job of being both lady-like, as befits a person of her royal lineage, and an absolute invisible half-dragon scythe-wielding badass who just wants you to leave her alone. She is even one of the few characters in the game who is willing to show you mercy and DOESN'T try to murder you on sight...

double nine posted:I prefer to think of him as a double agent, pretending to work for the primorial serpent while feeding his bounties to the pale lady. I thought it was guilt. You can only see the chaos sister after you kill Kellogg and when she speaks to you, she thinks you're her sister. Since Kirk doesn't have a parasite, I always thought he was invading to assuage his guilt over killing Kellogg and dooming the innocent chaos sister to die. Dark Souls yo, poo poo is complicated

The spikes are on the armor, so the armor protects him from the spikes  What I want to know is how that douche hole in the painted world sees with the giant penis turban on

No, no, I get the resemblance (aesthetically at least) between Buddha and Smough. His armor looks like the two most common depictions of Buddha glued together   But Smough as a character is a monster. He was the executioner who reveled in killing people and eating their corpses and souls. He is so cruel, he murders a weakened and helpless Ornstein, who you can see move his hand before the hammer comes down, and eats his souls to gain lightning attacks. Smough is so absolutely vile that not even Frampt, the guy that you feed garbage and poop to for money/souls, will give you more than 1 soul for the boss soul of Smough. Maybe he could be a dark mirror of Buddha, but the concept art makes it seem like the resemblance is merely a coincidence based on the largely western depiction of fat Buddha  Also, your "One Ring" theory is totally true. The cutscene for Super Ornstein shows his armor and weapon growing with him when he takes all of the souls that HIS FRIEND Smough had eaten, but only after Smough had died and started to glow like corpses of enemies do. Seriously, gently caress Smough. He's an abomination who doesn't even have cool gear or any personality to redeem him as a character. I hate that guy... E: For even more spergy Dark Souls lore, Ornstein is the leader of the Knights of Gwyn and the only one that we see without the DLC. Smough desperately wanted to be a knight, to be honored as the best and most loyal follower of the Lord of Sunlight, but because he was grinding the bones of those he executed and eating them, he was denied knighthood. Everything beyond here is speculation, but even though some see Ornstein as the only thing holding the leash on mad-dog Smough, I see their pairing in the chapel to mean so much more. Since Smough wanted to be a knight, being in the chapel that eventually had an elevator built specifically for Smough shows him trying to repent for his sins by praying, but since there was only the Princess of Sunlight after Lord Gwyn had left to rekindle the primordial flame, he still couldn't actually be a Knight, even though Smough was buddy-buddy with the leader of the knights. A man who lamented the death of one of the most vile and evil inhabitants of Anor Londo. Ornstein being weakened by the Chosen Undead was his one chance to take the mantle of Knight of Gwyn and he jumped on it without hesitation. I like this boss battle a lot, if you hadn't noticed, and since there was a problem with the game audio, here's the best music in a game that is filled to the brim with great music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX51T-EipOo The Door Frame fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Sep 17, 2014 |

Which serpent is Jotsam going to align with?? He ignored Frampt and left Gwynevere alive. I kept thinking about it the entire video..... I wish you didn't have to kill Sif. Maybe it's a "cutting down the last Redwood for kindling" kind of thing, but I can't feel good about killing him or Priscilla. Even though I always interrogate both  And once I stop working nights in October, I'll figure out how to join a steam group and play with you guys. As is, I'm too tired and distracted to play anything faster paced than FTL

NEW VIDEO DAY!

Y'all should put on subtitles for the batman in case other people like me haven't played it yet and are trying to follow along with the story. Also, the only legitimately good Nolan film is Dark Knight thanks to the fantastic acting of Heath Ledger and some pretty good stuff with Aaron Eckheart, everything else is so dour and boring. I love me some Michael Keaton. And Val Kilmer. And maybe even George Clooney because it was that magical kind of awful. Even though Burton's movies were creepily sexual and gothic, they had a lot more heart and knew how to have a little bit of fun with the premise of "rich billionaire gets bat themed life and beats up mental patients" besides the research scenes between Morgan Freeman and Christian Bale. Dooky Dingo posted:It really is disturbing how much sexuality they try to shoehorn into this game about giant, burly men in their underwear beating each other. You need to watch the first 2 batmen, I think Burton had some real issues :bigtran:

Only kills through negligence? Maybe Christian Bale, that pussy. When Michael Keaton was batman, he drove into a factory full of people, dropped bombs at their feet and blew it up without saying a word

Tell Jotsam to stop using pyromancy like a scrub. The only real way to play dark souls is at SL1 and only using an unascended broken straight sword

Dooky Dingo posted:So, Jotsam brings up an interesting point in the video, and I would like all of your opinions. I personally think that the bed of chaos is pretty great, especially if you have done the side quest and I rather like the gimmick in new londo, but it is frustrating sometimes. The DLC is really cool looking and Manus and the knights of Gwyn have a lot of cool lore that Jotsam will ignore. Plus, the final boss of the game is a big, dumb jobber who can be parried into oblivion, which is always fun. I would say go for it, but I absolutely adore DS1, so I may be a little biased For what it's worth, TOTG and the archives are the worst parts of the game. Like, I have abandoned 20+ hour playthroughs in those locations because they are so drat frustrating

Gologle posted:The DLC is pretty fun, IDK. I thought the Kiln was pretty great. I don't remember if he's done Lost Izalith yet or the Four Kings, and though Lost Izalith definitely sucks, it's up in the air for New Londo. Oh.....I forgot about the stuff leading up to the bed of chaos..... that poo poo is so annoying I blocked it all out of my memory besides Solaire's side quest. Ummmm..... yeah, that's a hell of a thing to play through. I hope he liked the Capra Demon. I stand by my recommendation for new londo though
