    Congratulations, Pat, you are the proud winner of the Fromsoft Fandom Shitpost Free-For-All. Here is your *Commemoratory Champion Belt.*
    _It is made of dirty, bloodstained iron, and very obviously cursed and/or creepy. The large buckle is made of unpolished, dark silver, but still visibly shaped in the beautiful, bald countenance of Unbreakable Patches himself. Congratulations._

    This is an absolutely scathing indictment of the From Software formula. It is also 113% accurate. Chef's kiss Polygon. Chef's kiss.

    This video properly breaks down the likely character tropes that will show up in Elden Ring. And yet, my takeaway is:
    Buil
    Ding

    Some of these read like Brad Neely characters, especially the burger kings.

    loved the use of Hall of the Mountain King and New World Symphony as background music. That just made this for me

    I love how everyone expactations when we learn that will be a horse mount in the game was like "Humm.... Lets see how realistic Fromsoft can do the horses"
    But then the horse his fading and appearing out of existance, superjumping and double jumping and everyone is like WHAT???
    This so much a Fromsoft thing

    I would love to live in a world where a game would be put on hold for updates to make the version Patrick comes up with.
    "Just some guys." :D
