I am amazed it took that long for someone to sincerely respond to Dias' post with something like that considering that I'm sure someone from the WDS2 thread does post here too.

I didn't know it was this bad in the Walking Deads, guys. Sorry. Woolie. Woolie. You have a secondary weapon. Use it on the stones. Not the big badass sword. Use the mace. Also, as someone that didn't get too far into DS2, there's a lot of humanoid bosses with the same moveset in that game, huh? Wide swing combo, lunge, big overhead, maybe a powerup animation or a close range AoE.

This is every boss, period. Human or Dragon or beast. It was the same in DS1 with non-humans, about how all of them pretty much had the same pattern with variance on size. The only difference is the design and why people have more forgiven for bosses like the 4 Kings because of The Lore (even though it was pretty lovely and easy.)

Am I the only fan of the boys who couldn't give less of a poo poo about either Dark Souls II or The Walking Dead? Ninja Edit: Just about to wrap up the podcast. Pat summed up my thoughts about raids in MMOs perfectly. Hearing "DKP" again made me wince. gently caress all that poo poo. That's just one of the many reasons why World of Warcraft was both my first and last MMO game. Charles Martel fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Sep 24, 2014 |

Ending the episode without beating the boss is goddamn sacrilegious.

Don't listen to Pat, Matt. Archie comics are a far more engrossing experience than Dark Souls. I mean remember that time that he had promised to take Betty out but made a date with Veronica and had to take them both to the SAME restaurant. I MEAN WHATS A GUY GONNA DO?!?

But seriously though, Life with Archie: the Married Life (both versions of betty and veronica) is legitimately incredibly good. Like, I was really shocked by how mature and interesting that series was. They actually push the stories of everyone forward and takes them in directions nobody was expecting at all. Moose becomes mayor, Lodge tries to turn Pops into a mall and does shady corruption dealings, Archie becomes a failed musician, The teacher lady dies of cancer. It's pretty great.

Depths posted:It's actually super entertaining, throw everyone under the bus I seriously can't stop laughing at them wanting everyone but Clem and the autistic(?) girl and maybe that girl's dad to die. Like, they're on a murder spree and it's the best. If you didn't love their pure glee at being able to throw Kumail Nanjiani under the bus I don't know why you're even here. "YEA HE DIDN'T SHOW US!"

Just for shits and giggles I got this like, big mega comic about the Death of Archie and it had a total recap of the comics up to it and it's like, crazy poo poo that sounds like a soap opera and I kinda wanna buy Archie comics help am I my grandpa????

Probably what I enjoy the most is how they were so happy to see Luke and see YEAH I'M GONNA HUG YOU LUKE gently caress KENNY. Also I enjoy how they are making Clem to be such a dick.

When I don't like one of their ongoing series I just don't watch it and if I need SBFZ I either wait for something else to be uploaded that's more to my tastes or rewatch something they already did- I just rewatched their Revengeance playthrough and man I just never get tired of seeing people react to that game. Pat is having such a blast all throughout and I love his enthusiastic "OoooOOo!" whenever he gets a new item or weapon

The moments where something awesome happens and everyone in the room goes OOOOOOOGGGGHHHHH are probably the best part of the best friends videos. edit: I think I have made a post similar to this in the past but it bears repeating regardless.

Nah, the best moments is every one of them calling bullshit on something like the Matrix Indigo Prophecy scene or the two indians showing up at the end of a Beyond Two Souls chapter when they clearly died.

That's just one of the many reasons why World of Warcraft was both my first and last MMO game. I feel like they're getting deliberately misconstrued in a lot of cases. It's 10 years later and people still use that soundclip/ytmnd to dismiss what is essentially just participation points. Which is kind of besides the point as barely any guilds bother using DKP anymore. Most just use an open /roll system.

The Best friends have the same problem a lot of people do about MMO's where WoW is the only one they really know and assume everything's the same. Which is a safe bet, since for a long long while every new MMO was a WoW clone.

Nope, I'm put off by Dark Souls 2 completely because of the fanbase, and I've yet to play TWD S2 so I'm avoiding that one also. Liam mentioned a Guacamelee playthrough being uploaded on the podcast...that is gonna own.
