[PREMIERE at 10 AM CT on 8.26] Dark Souls - Race to Ring the Bell | Battle Masters
Added 2024-08-25 17:15:21 +0000 UTCTomorrow at 10 AM CT!
Join us for the Premiere of Battle Masters, the Second Wind team's new show where we test our gaming mettle in a variety of competitions to see who becomes the Battle Master. It's funny, it's competitive and no, not every episode will be about Dark Souls.
We've been working on this in secret for the past few months and we think you're going to absolutely love it. See you then!
Comments
Fun show; love the idea. However, please drop the "commentary". An occasional timed check-in could work - "After 5 minutes, he's here, she's there and KC's dying to this..." - but as is, it's so infrequent, redundant and (I assume (hope) purposefully) unfunny, it serves only as an annoying interruption. The players' own commentary is far more entertaining. That said, the prize: genius! For a challenge, how about Horizon: Zero Dawn - first to take down a Thunderjaw?

2024-08-29 17:24:36 +0000 UTCThis was very fun - cool idea would be to have other runners react to the top run, like “ohh good idea, you bastard”

2024-08-29 04:13:21 +0000 UTCCould I suggest EMMI Keepaway in Metroid Dread? Everyone has to survive as long as possible in one of Dread’s EMMI zones without dying, longest wins. Or is that too straightforward? That aside I enjoyed this! Clear pilot episode but I love dumb little gaming challenges, reminds me of my mates and I trying to make single player games 2 player :D

2024-08-27 18:24:56 +0000 UTCThis was a lot of fun to watch, and the unscripted exclamations by the different players made me laugh out loud more than once. Jesse's narration voice and clever wordplay, along with the editing, really ties it all together. For future challenges, I think it's a good idea to have different approaches to the same goal, especially if you're speedrunning / going for a high score.

2024-08-27 01:43:25 +0000 UTCIdea: Who can design the hardest puzzle in Humanity's level creator? Bonus Idea: Track who solves everyone else's the fastest. Design one day, play the next! :D

2024-08-26 20:21:19 +0000 UTCGood stuff. I’d enjoy a follow up version with time codes, just to see moments when people are feeling overconfident about their progress.

2024-08-26 17:34:22 +0000 UTCI’d imagine part of the appeal of starting your own company is the freedom to launch whatever creative idea that interests you. I don’t mind the experimentation of different content.

2024-08-26 16:26:59 +0000 UTCThat was rad. No notes. (Idly curious how many hours JM8 has in DS1, sounded like loads)

2024-08-26 15:22:52 +0000 UTCFWIW I prefer written, polished essays/reviews from the SW team to seeing them play, fool around, and or interact with each other in a spontaneous fashion. I'm curious to know how many people feel that way. I know editing, polishing, and redrafting is lot more work, but to me it pays off. But nothing against this here, especially if other people are enjoying it.

2024-08-26 13:32:37 +0000 UTCThis sounds like loads of fun, can't wait to give this a watch. Please tell me there is a golden joystick up for grabs for the victor, or is that a far too obscure aging British gamer reference? 🤣

2024-08-25 21:06:54 +0000 UTCLooking forward to the premiere! Though I consider the Discord battle over date formatting as the unofficial Episode Zero :-D

2024-08-25 18:46:00 +0000 UTCI remember subtle mentions of this series and I have been waiting for it with baited breath. Must have been a lot of editing. Appreciate the effort guys.

2024-08-25 17:31:19 +0000 UTCI suppose a betting pool would not exactly be legal... I'll donate 50€ if Jess wipes the floor with the rest of the crew.
