Impressions of All Deadlock Characters After 50 Hours (+Just Talking About The Game a Bit)
This is not like a serious tier list, I don't think it's super accurate probably, plus the game is changing a lot. I'm just using the tier list format as an excuse to talk about all the characters and give my impressions of them.

Eiyuden Chronicle Demo is great you guys ( Talking About My Old Indie Games a Little Bit)
Personally I'd swap Dynamo and Talon around, and put shiv in S. But that's probably pretty biased from me cause I looooove playing him. Tips for shiv, if I can help anyone who doesn't understand him: 1. Use the Deathy build. 2. His dash is craaazy powerful. Level it to full asap. Put a point in knives, but let it sit until everything else is maxed. 3. His gun is really just a way to apply soul shredder bullets. 4. Build health and spirit. Life especially and extra stamina is a must. 5. His passive (3) is very strong as it makes him very tanky assassin role. It makes him a direct counter to characters with very high burst damage like bebop or Lady Geist because he takes it over time, rather than dying instantly, then you pay back that life debt by lifestealing it off them while they are on cooldown.
VII Remake/Rebirth will always be the series’ best real-time/action combat. There’s really no other way they can top this system. It’s a perfect modernization of the ATB system that Final Fantasy itself introduced, and remains faithful to its RPG roots.
Zelda. Is. Not. An. RPG.
Final Fantasy is in the RE5/RE6 "Imma do what I want for new fans TM 💅" phase. They'll soon find out that they cannot compete with the goats of the action/ARPG genres of DMC, The Witcher 3, etc. FF7R is the best balance of both action and menu management, if they still need to squeeze some action in there. Pure action only just ain't it.
more obscure rpg stuff! cracks whip. hope ur well
california has better mexican food
Shocker, californians ruin every place they go. Cheese enchiladas suck by the way.
Your ending ramble lol… 6 months later, good to see you over 500 now.. here’s to another sub! Good video Aloha from Hawaii -Des
I grew up in southern California. I've lived in the Austin area for over 30 years. The Mexican for is definitely better in Texas than California.
We’ve had weird weather this year partly from the hurricane. Last year at this time, it was about 110-115 everyday. We’re getting a nice break this year. Glad you enjoyed Austin tho! If you get a chance, go check out Hamilton Pool, Barton Springs, or Devils Backbone. All are cool
Xenogears was a banger
Hey man, your video popped-up in my timeline yesterday and I watched it with my wife. She wonders if George (still interested in finish it or not) could be tied to a contract that demands him to finish the last to books. It is possible?
It sucks because is writing is so top tier. It's like a master wood worker running a shotty welding business. He's robbing the world of his expertise.
Fantasy will always be an absolute gem of a literary genre, but all the "muck" that you described about the boring adult stuff, selling, dealing with executives, public discourse, backlash, etc., stikes me as a damn pain in the ass. Personally I'd never bother being a writer and deal with all that
I never read the books or watched the show, but many of my friends did so I was aware of it. When I heard the show was going on past the books written, I always thought why would Martin want to finish the books now. Everyone already knows the ending of the story. All he can do is make the events leading up to it make more sense.
or he finished the damn thing years ago and it along with another dozen books are in a safe place waiting the rite time to be released to get the most bang for the buck....like a lot of writers do.
He has them both written and is waiting to die to release them
George gave the major points of the ending to the showrunners of GOT. He already knows everybody hated the ending, so he would have to change the story and that's just too much work.
The “ending is basically the show ending” seems pretty on the nose. The showrunners said he told them the ending when back when they were developing the show
Because he's fundamentally an unprofessional writer. Stephen King for example manages to write 6 pages a day because even though I don't enjoy his work, he is without a doubt a professional.
Nah, as long as he's alive the books are going to be finished, no point in dooming about it not being done, as long as he lives OFC which is the major issue
He shouldn't be scared of writing a similar ending to the universally despised TV show ending. I'm sure if he wrote it, it would be better. Dany turning into the mad queen would have been brilliant, but it would have had to have been set up better and not rushed.
I just want him to personally come out and say that the books are never getting finished. I'd be fine with that, I only dislike the lies.
Several times I've thought about reading the books. But who wants to read a series that isn't finished. I can see them maybe getting finished one day by a ghostwriter.
Idk if I buy that Martin is tired of ASOIAF. He’s probably been planning some of these ideas for decades, and now he gets to write them. And he still writes in that universe. Fire and Blood, HoD, Dunk and Egg.
I agree. If you watch a lot of his interviews, he’s always talking about how much he enjoys the world of Westeros and how he’s always traveling and going to events to promote his. There’s many signs that he’s still very much invested in his creation.
@@MarioLopez-rn2bsI think the thing js though is that he’s tired of the actual game of thrones storyline itself but still loves his world overall
Do you think we'll get a W.O.T scenario? George was actually asked before Brandon to finish W.O.T... AND who would it be? Robb?
I'm sure the shows entries were similar to what George was going to do, just different to how he was going to do it. He is a much better writer than them. There's so much in the books which would make sense where they can't in the show. Such as Jon's parentage and Bran becoming King. I think people were so insulted by the show that George may have decided to scrap or re-write what he had written because of the similarities.
Maybe he will finish winds of winter, but i have 0 hope for him to finish the last book
Winds is going to have two entries if I remember correctly.
The reason is simple: "Evil cannot create anything new. It can only corrupt and SUBVERT that which is good" GRRM is just an elist postmodernist hippie that is jealous of Tolkien (to the point of stealing the R.R. from him) and his garbage series is just his vengeance against Lord of Rings and a pathetic attempt to "subvert" everything about it. And now he's stuck, because his story lacks any substance other than that "everything is bad"
While I think you make valid points I am still (too much 🤣) an optimist he will finish A Song of Ice and Fire. My hope is that he will finish The Winds of Winter soon and that then the last book in the series is much easier (and faster) to write, because there will be far less characters left after TWOW.
I hope what happened with Kentaro Miura doesnt happen again u.u
I'm just glad he contributed to the elden ring game
We may have the new book if he didn't contribute so much to other projects.
Eh has someone who greatly prefers other fromsoftware games I’m gonna say I’d rather him finish ASOIAF than contribute to elden ring
@@charlieuetz2539 darksouls 3 was a true masterpiece
@@koontzsama I think that’s my 3rd or 4th favorite. I genuinely think Bloodborne is pretty close to a masterpiece. I adore Sekiro. Dark Souls 1 is such an amazing game as far as level design that I think it can be called a masterpiece although playing that combat system after playing later Fromsoftware games is pretty rough.
Bloodborne is a masterpiece.
Yeah I can see the dude dying and the book never being finished.... Or hey maybe he finishes it and he only ask for it to be published when he dies who knows
The sole reason why i prefer not to engage with the books
As someone who has read all the five books, i dissagree. I still believe SOIAF is an incredible fantasy world, even without a proper conclusion to the story. The richness of it's worlf setting, it's characters, it's lore, etc., are fantastic on they're own, even without a proper ending.
@@imanolfaya889Other than ending a story, they're great novels to learn writing, worldbuilding, etc.
I always liked the idea that they are both finished but he doesn't want them published until he is dead so he wont have to witness fan reaction
Honestly, I don't blame him. Dude is enjoying the ride of his fantasy world becoming a tv show. Why the hell should he care? Writing is exhausting and hard af.
I think you wouldnt finish a song of ice and fire, but i doubt he will let his lifes work go willingly to the grave with him, also this videos audio and focus are fucked
Never played D&D, but I know enough to make a judgment on it. It felt EXACTLY like how a D&D campaign would actually play out
Cool stuff man
You are most likely an INTP. You have a "jolly" vibe. You bring a bunch of topics to talk about at once, you are a bit too creative for an INTJ (with your book, channel direction, channel content), your Si also sticks out with your occasional cooking and enjoying life, you "trade money for fun (even when you are low on money!)", you make quirky dances in "public"... I mean, one of them doesn't mean anything, but at most distinctions between INTP and INTJ you walk the INTP path.
ah but youtube doesn't know about my secret master plan. o.O well whatever it is, it's the worst one. I want a refund. 2/10 would not recommend
Broke as hell but decided to spend some of my remaining money Half Baked date style (I'm sober for months now it's just a joke about an ICONIC MOVIE SCENE) on a day trip to downtown Austin and walked around downtown and walked around a bunch of museums They were all cool but my favorite was the toy and arcade museum. It reminded me a little of the pop culture museum in Seattle near the space needle Had TX BBQ for the first time was really good. I wasn't sure what to do with the bread tho???? I used it to sort of make a taco. Are you supposed to eat the BBQ and then just eat a plain slice of bread? o.O I didn't mention it in the video but I like the whole Robert Rodriguez old school film kid thing Austin has I've been watching a lot of movies since I got into town. I wanna go to Alamo Drafthouse while I'm in town. I also tried to go to the LBJ Presidential Library but I got there too late, but my Uber driver did inform me the LBJ apparently had a huge hog so I feel like I pretty much get the gist. I'm vibing with Austin a lot. I wish it had a beach then it'd be perfect. Alright cheers see you next time.
Human bones being a currency is fucking sweet. Reminds me of orks using teef
eyyyyyyyyyy someone actually watched this. nice. Runway did not want to give me a clip of a dude holding human teeth it kept giving me a mutant hand with human teeth. I forget what I ended up with in the video
I’ll take no voice acting if it means the other parts of the game are better for it. Voice acting isn’t cheap.
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it

Sorry, he's not a teen. He's 29, 30 in some episodes. That been said, I absolutely love this show
They should have a difficulty select button, so should dark souls games !
Not sure which DQ had Terry in it but DQV is S tier right below Chrono Trigger and above FF6.
x-men 97 is incredible i bet they are scrambling to rerelease/remaster old x-men games due to it's success. x-men 2 the clone wars on genesis is probally the best 16 bit one. when i was a kid i saved money from my part time job to buy x-men vs street fighter for saturn. i forsee x-men legends games getting remastered.
It looks pretty good, maybe I'll give it a shot! nice, I heard those x-men legends games were pretty good

Have you checked out David charlmers talk about panpsychism? Also agreed on disagreeing with sapolsky. And dooe ouroboros shirt!
Thanks :) I don't know David Charlmer but I do know panpsychism and I'm down with it. I think originally I watched a video from Arvin Ash maybe a few years ago?
What which philosophical idea of reality do you lean towards would you say?
@@ezekielschmittart Mmm yeah so generally speaking I'm a deist existentialist. I started out really young being interested in Jung and Joseph Campbell and then got really into Buddhism then Nietzche, Camus, Kierkegaard etc. Gnosticism, kabbalah, hermeticism that kind of stuff. I was in a Buddhist cult for 2 years like 10 years ago, and I also dated a Catholic for a long time so I learned a lot about that. There's a channel on RUclips called third eye drops that's into a lot of the stuff I'm into. Duncan Trussell is another guy I really like. The tattoo on my forearm is a kabbalist sephiroth. The tattoo on my chest is a tarot death card with a yin yang in it. For the nature of the universe I think a few things. I think what we've got going on locally is some form of simulation theory, and the power center of it is as likely to be a browbeaten engineer, something like The Architect from the Matrix, as it is some kind of benevolent all powerful God, but I don't think it stops there, because we're very close to being the architect of our own virtual worlds that are indistinguishable from reality, as well just one of many different timelines and dimensions, which religion has always thought (i.e. Hindusim is wild, it's all about multiverses and The Matrix), but quantum physics now seems to support. And I think that whole apparatus, where even the most basic physics may not be persistent between dimensions, has to run on something and that's where I start getting into something that resembles panpsychism, because I think the purpose of all this existence seems to me to be something dreaming or thinking or processing scenarios, and we are to it sort of like individual cells are to our bodies. Where its imagination and our reality are the one in the same. That's just the relationship that makes sense to me, as if I was an all powerful being and I was simulating all timelines and dimensions at once, why would I be doing that? I would imagine I'd be trying to think or to imagine or dream. Anyway like 5 years ago I wrote a book about my philosophy as a whole. I didn't advertise it and only one guy bought it and said it seemed culty. Mmm yes. But then again the current cults are failing us all, no? Nevertheless, I mostly still have the same foundations. You can find it on Amazon if you're interested, it's called Modern Existentialism by Ryan Night. It's like 60-70 pages or something, it's similar to the kind of thing Hare Krishnas hand out at the airport but it's about existentialism. Speaking of the ouroboros shirt, I've been using the ouroboros to symbolize this modern form of spiritual existentialism, like Christianity uses a cross. A couple key things from that book: I think the universe is like a sandbox or a theme park like Minecraft as compared to something where there's some sort of grand cosmic objective. I think the objective is to evolve until reality and imagination converge and try not to get a game over from nuclear war or planetary resource collapse or things like that. I think objective purpose and meaning is false and subjective purpose and meaning and meaningful experience is of top importance, moreso than money or things like that. I think religion has a specific purpose, both in terms of lore and community but I ascribe to sort of a jeet-kune-do approach to religion, like an MMA approach of picking and choosing the systems and beliefs and making my own philosophical framework with them. In terms of deontology vs consequentialism vs virtue ethics I ascribe to virtue ethics specifically nicomachean ethics and the golden mean. What else, ah I believe in collective unconscious. And Carl Jung's individuation theory. I think synchronicities and aspects of reality beyond our senses are very real. I think for a lot of this stuff the branding doesn't matter so much (i.e. christianity, buddhism, hinduism, greek/roman polytheism, whatever) as much as how it does what it's supposed to, happiness, community, meaning, depth of experience, appreciation, harmony, that kind of thing. That said, I do believe in some pretty wild stuff, I've done a lot of drugs and a lot of chanting in dark rooms and stuff like that and those experiences, when you experience them, are undeniable. And I would say that although it's an unconventional belief system, my "religion" is very important to me. I don't know if you've heard of the game Civilization but I always use culture, religion and diplomacy to achieve a scientific victory and colonize Alpha Centauri. Long answer I guess I kind of wanted to post something other people could read if they stumble on this video too. :D Cheers
Right on brother! Love the way you think! I'll def check out your book.
