Ah, makes me happy to watch your view count go up as you build a small fanbase :) If you'd appreciate some constructive advice, I have to say that while I enjoy the guests, It would be nice to have a solo commentary every once in a while just for variety's sake. However, fantastic as usual. Keep 'em coming.

[nickplaysvideogames]

@Golightsaber I always appreciate constructive feedback! Not to worry, there will be plenty of back and forth between me flying solo and featuring guests.

also just a little tip about equip weight and movement...when you have 50% equipped you run faster and roll better, and when you have only 25% you roll really fast and far. later on theres a ring that lets you do a new kick ass flip instead of a roll and it lets you do it at 50% burden. AWESOME!

[nickplaysvideogames]

@snowden421 I knew about the burden amounts but I had no idea that there was a ring which actually changed the roll animation. That is badass, thanks for the tips!

[snowden421]

Love the vids, just started watching! Can't wait till you get the halberd cuz that was my go to weapon for most of the game. Level it to +5, then ascend it to divine and it will rock fools. Also start leveling your shield to +10 ASAP, cuz the first boss of darkroot garden let's you level that ascend that shield into the best piece of equipment in the game!

Feebs finally has 2 shoes!!!!

[nickplaysvideogames]

@juggalohub He's moving up in the world!

...And just because it's driving me crazy to watch: you can view an item's full stats from the equip menu, no need to hop over to the items menu. Press X to select a slot, then in the "pick which item to equip" screen press square to "toggle display".

[nickplaysvideogames]

@gothefungus lol, thanks for the pro tip, I didn't even see that before. You may see me doing it the dumb way again, though, since I have several episodes done and uploading soon.

[gothefungus]

The gargoyle axe isn't poisoning you - it's increasing your max poison/bleed/toxin(?) resistance. So you're going from (made-up numbers) 0/100 poison level to 10/110, which then fades away and leaves you at a higher maximum.

[Red3eardX]

Cool play through man, though the video of you guys is somewhat distracting ...

[nickplaysvideogames]

@Red3eardX Thanks for the feedback. I'm still playing around with ideal placement for the video overlay. It probably worked better in the upper right hand corner. Will mess around with it some more.

[Red3eardX]

@nickplaysvideogames Word, glad you're thinking about it. I'd say middle area is not so good. Especially when looking at items and in combat, as it blocks stuff.

[nickplaysvideogames]

@Red3eardX Yeah I'm in complete agreement after looking into it more this morning. Upper right corner was the sweet spot, and I think I'll shave about 40% off the window size so you can still see us talking but more of the game is visible.

[DarkSoulHub]

The blacksmith sells the key to that door you are talking about. Its 20000 souls and gives you a nice shortcut.

[nickplaysvideogames]

@DarkSoulHub Yeah I eventually saw that in his list of items. Good to know where I can buy it.

[PsychoticPengu]

Oh, watching you consider kindling the bonfire reminds me. I remember hearing that kindling a bonfire gives people connected to you an extra Estus Flask, like how you were getting earlier in Undead Burg.

[nickplaysvideogames]

@PsychoticPengu Ohhhhh, ok the puzzle is coming together now. Thanks for posting!

[Muglosx]

lol I remember that part of Max Payne in the dream sequence. That was crazy. :P

[Muglosx]

Hey are there merchants where you can sell all of your extra items you're not using? I'm guessing probably later in the game?

[nickplaysvideogames]

@Muglosx I've heard that there is a way to break items down into souls later in the game, but I have no idea how.

[Sevogajre]

@nickplaysvideogames It's after a pretty major development in the game, so you can't really miss it (unless the game breaks your spirit and you sell it back, haha). I would say it's in the first... 30-35% of the game though?
