I'm gonna try for a video Latest Video: 12/29 Episode 36: Lovecraft, Madoka, and Blood   I'm sure a lot of you know what Bloodborne is, but for those unaware here's a quick rundown. Bloodborne is a game by FROM Software of Souls fame, and it plays pretty much like a quicker Souls game. Ditching the dark fantasy of the Souls series, Bloodborne adopts a more victorian and gothic horror style, which is part of the reason why I love the game so much.  As a bit of backstory; I love Bloodborne. From the gameplay to the sheer style it oozes, this is easily my favorite Souls-esque game. An LP is something I've considered for a bit, but, I wanted to capture the "first impression" style that would've been impossible by myself. That's where Compufreak and Devious Vacuum come in. They're both friends of mine who've experienced very little of Bloodborne, and both showed interest in this plan of mine. Now, a couple things about the LP setup. I do not have a capture card, which is unfortunate, but, I can use PS4's streaming in a way that allows to me to record at at least 720p. It's not perfect, but, it looks serviceable, and the fact that I get to do this in the first place makes it good enough for me. Unfortunately the streaming situation does cause a few frame drops and some pixelization problems, but I feel it turns out otherwise fine, despite those issues. On the topic of Chalice Dungeons! I bring this up in the first episode, but, I'll only be briefly showing them off so I can get a specific armor set. The Chalice Dungeons are just completely uninteresting, and while some of the bosses in there have neat lore implications, it's not worth it to delve into them.  THREAD RULES: - Keep spoilers in spoiler tags: My co-commentators won't be looking at the thread too often for this exact reason, but on the chance there's someone reading the thread that hasn't experienced Bloodborne in some manner, I'd rather future things be kept a surprise. - Try not to devolve into tangents: A discussion about mechanics is fine, but if it's just a constant back and forth about something with nothing coming from it, I really don't care. That's about it, honestly. - And of course all other SA and LP forum rules apply.  Episode 1: Shotgun Grandpa Episode 2: Teen Wolves Episode 3: Papa G Episode 4: The Technical Difficulties Episode Episode 5: Feat. Special Guest Jordan Mallory Episode 6: The One in Which I Get Owned Episode 7: Reindeer and Cthulhus Episode 8: Thread, What's Your Favorite X? Episode 9: The Highschool AU Episode 10: The Long Con Episode 11: Understand the Concept of Snake Episode 12: Everything is fine. Episode 13: Compufreak yells about the sky. Episode 14: Everything is still fine. Episode 15: gently caress the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst Episode 16: Time to go Full Anime Episode 17: Pixels (2016, feat.

You can check Bo's youtube, or my own (I'll be stuffing them in the Bloodborne playlist when they come out) if you want to see them. Kobuddy fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Jan 11, 2017 |

  Average, ordinary villagers that Bleaksol murders because they blame him for all their problems. They're probably not wrong. Also, maybe zombies?  Big fat creepy crows that drink blood.  They're basically  I'm hunting hunters! - Shotgun Grandpa, 19xx  Angsty teen wolves that have had their hearts broken one time too many by Sir Bleaksol.  Gotta stab it in the butt!  Basically just the guy from Scream.  A POISON lovely halloween ghost; one of the most deadly breeds.  Please don't burn them again, they're very sensitive.  GET IN THE SACK  They're not a crow.  They keep trying to play fetch with you, but, you can't understand it. Because of all the knives. Much like Edward Scissorhands, the tragic hero, and classic Tim Burton character.  Find all eight pages to fight the boss for Hemwick Charnel Lane.  Y'know, Witches of Hemwick WOULD make a pretty good tumblr rp blog name.  If you're wondering if they just have really great pecs, or they execute pecs, the answer is: yes.  Snake orb.  "What's the dark, gothic fantasy version of 'boing'?"  That's a bug.  "It's like a human centipede, but without the human." - Compufreak, 2016  What the gently caress.  gently caress you.  "HEY! HEY I SAW YOU POSTED SOMETHING ON TWITTER! LET ME GIVE MY THOUGHTS ON IT!"  I don't have much to say here other than why the gently caress are they called "Lost Child of Antiquity".  Today we learn that Gravelord Nito is actually a dad. That explains all the "neato" puns.  Jesus.  "Hooooow do I solve this prooooooblem?" - Undergrad - two hours before class.  Where's their honky nose?  "Hey, what's that flying towards m- OH GOD! -YOU DIED-  Get them for like 99 cents at the halloween store.  They're going to come to your house and break all your toys. (This is an in-joke.)  They'll get Olmec on your rear end if you piss them off.  *Aesthetic*  GETTING YOU BACK, COMPUFREAK!  "OH GOD!!" - Compufreak, 2016  Their milk brings all the hunters to the clocktower.  *birthdayhorn.mp3*  "Death will rise, from the tides!"  This guy gets crazy strong at family reunions.  He's a legend among murlocs. "Mrghllghghllghg!", they say.  They can see the future. In that future both players draw more cards. Spoooky.  I don't get it. COOL GIFS 'N' poo poo: Wordybird highlighting one of my favorite moments from episode 3:  Shlapintogan shows that the  Wordybird shows how incompetent I am at videogames.  DeviousVacuum shows what would happen if our snake friends tried to go the movies.  Shlapintogan proves that even if you're being attacked by a murderous hunter, you still have time to exercise.  Wordybird showing off Bleaksol getting his just rewards.  SweetNAwful gives her interpretation of Kevin as the new crow.  Shlapintogan shows, uh...y'know what, I got nothing.  Oops.

Yeah, unfortunately, I can be a bit scatterbrained when remembering to talk to NPCs (as evidenced by me having to double back in the video to talk to Gilbert). That being said I do have a second character that I have yet to beat Gascoigne with, so, I should be able to get her dialogue with them on video by the time the second recording session happens.

Genocyber posted:e: Though I do not blame you for deciding to ignore the Chalice Dungeons for the most part, I do wish you would at least cover the Pthumeru line for its unique bosses for your friends to react to. After googling the name (since I couldn't remember which were which off the top of my head) I can say that I do plan to do up to Keeper of the Old Lords at the very least, because of the armor set that comes with beating him.

Tollymain posted:funnily enough, i think the keepers are all supposed to be female I have made a note that npc dialogue is quiet, so, I'll be adjusting that during the next session. As for other audio being quiet, I'll see what I can do, but, I plugged in the commentary audio as normal. But again, I'll see what I can do for sure.

Samovar posted:Sad trombone sounds. The weird thing is I used to have this problem, but it was on an old computer, which ended up getting fixed anyway because I just had to reset Nvidia to it's default colors. But now it did it again, and only to this particular file, but it didn't do it to the first two videos??? It also doesn't do it to other video files. So, I don't know. I think tech just loving hates me.

UPDATE: Episode 3: Papa G I tried bumping up the audio a bit here, but, unfortunately since the source files are long gone, this is the best I can do when messing with the mixed product. This will definitely be fixed after this episode, however. Additionally, this will be the only episode this week, as I am out of footage! We'll be recording again this Sunday, however.

Lord_Magmar posted:See this is where my earlier comment is really interesting, because you missed talking to Iosefka before Papa G your commentators have missed some important context for the decision between the church and the clinic. I think you'll be pleased with the next episode, once the commentary gets recorded. I ended up going back as Kevin to record Iosefka's dialogue before actually beating Gascoigne, since you brought it up, and I actually forgot at the time of recording the first session.

Oh yeah, I hope the audio balance is slightly better in this episode. I did a bit more dynamic editing and auto-ducking rather than just the straight decrease I did in the previous 3.

Lord_Magmar posted:You can still actually talk to Gatling Guy at this point. Seeing Paarl resets Djura's aggro the first time, and then as long as you don't come from the front you can be friends, which includes warping in to the Church of the Good Chalice bonfire and doing the second half of the level backwards. I actually didn't know that about Paarl. I'm a bit too late for Bleaksol, but I'm planning on trying my hardest to talk to him as Kevin.

Kevin is already sending everyone to Oedon, and things are all fine and dandy. I want to show off the whole Adella murdering Arianna thing too, but I'm not sure how yet. As for the reveal, well, let's just say I'm pretty drat close to it. Just so this post isn't completely in spoilers, I'm gonna take a suggestion from Shlapintogan and putting together a bestiary based on what Dvac and Compufreak think the enemies are.

Lord_Magmar posted:I hope you do the DLC at least before the Workshop burns because there's some dialogue you can't get at that time, and it gives some very interesting information about some of the bosses. I'm still debating how I want to handle the DLC, to be honest. There's an idea I have that I'm kicking around, that I'm not going to spoil, but the DLC won't come up for a while anyway. Additionally, Compufreak and Dvac's Bestiary is now up on the second post, so, if you ever wonder what their conclusions on certain Bloodborne enemies are, there you go.

Sweet and Awful posted:Do you plan on showing off any of the other weapons? Some, yeah. I don't plan on showing off EVERY weapon in the game, (partially because with some of them, neither Kevin nor Bleaksol would have the stats to wield them, so unless I grind for a while to bump my stats up, it wouldn't be possible.) but I have plans for both Bleaksol and Kevin for where their builds are going, and they don't involve sticking with the weapons they're currently using. The DLC in particular has some weapons that I plan on sticking on the both of them, because goddamn they're fun.

I actually did haha they reacted so little I actually just cut the small amount that was recorded. quote:Also, appropriately, that voice actor (whose name I don't remember) voiced the character of Benton in the cyberpunk anime OVA Cyber City Oedo 808. In the episode that stars him, he ends up killing a man-made vampire. This quote is still beautiful.

UPDATE: Episode 19: We're not gonna go there Also, a thing that's interesting to note. Sony just recently increased the amount of time that you can record videos from 15 minutes to an hour. This means less chance for gently caress ups in terms of recording. Unfortunately I already recorded the rest of the main game before that patch went live. This will make DLC recording easier though.
