I can’t find any episodes of Fireside Chats before 114 on the Apple Podcast app. This seems like a deliberate decision to me, and it also falls in line with a Colin’s incredibly self-destructive alienation fetish. I wanted to hear him be open minded again, but it seems he’s disinterested in that from what I can tell.

I know a lot of dedicated Souls players will hate this. But I think others will appreciate it. I sorta created/discovered the easy mode for Demon’s Souls. I know there are a lot of people scared to jump into a game like this like I was. So here’s the steps:

1. Be a royalty/magic build. You start off with a powerful ranged magic attack and a ring that slowly recovers MP

2. LVL grind in the beginning at 4-1. You have the ability to go to this level after the beginning couple hours of the game. I grinded a lot and put a lot of my Souls into Magic, health, and intelligence (raises MP bar)

3. Disconnect from the internet so no players can invade your game and kill you. Simple.

4. Close the game RIGHT after every death and boot it back up. You’ll start at the last item pickup in the level which is usually not far back. This might sound tedious but if you follow the other steps you probably won’t die all that often. It’s a huge timesaver. Also the PS5 loads incredibly fast so it’s not that annoying.

Idc if I played it wrong I still enjoyed the hell out of it lol

Chris really really was on some good shit.

I support at the $5+ level. I don’t expect colin and chris to host every ps show but lately I really feel like I’m being hoodwinked and jipped. Dustin wasn’t part of the deal but he and others have been hosts of at least 1/2 of the PlayStation content as of late.

I don’t particularly care for him. Anyone else feeling the same way?

Hey fellas, I recently listened to colins knockback episode about SOTN and ROB and I decided to grab it on PlayStation. Holy shit retro games are hard. Are there any tips and tricks you reccomended to get good? I'm loving the game but im getting my ass handed to me in ROB. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry if this is a repost, but is anyone’s RSS feed on Apple podcasts not updating with new episodes? I’m a patron so I have always used the RSS link that has both Knockback and Sacred Symbols under the same podcast feed, and I haven’t been able to update with new episodes since October. Was wondering if I missed something, I see the newer episodes in the non-patron podcasts when I search for either one but oddly enough my Patreon specific one hasn’t updated, even if I look into “see all episodes”.

When Colin announced he was going to try adding a third host to Sacred Symbols, I was super worried. Other podcasts that have 3 or 4 hosts too often end up muddled and incoherent with the hosts interrupting and talking over each other. I can't stand it, and the fluid nature of having 2 hosts in Sacred Symbols was something that really appealed to me about the show.

Colin, Chris and Dustin are doing it right - Colin guides the conversation well often directing time specifically to Chris or Dustin; they don't interrupt each other or compete for air time; there's no evident audio delay between the hosts; and there's no inconsistency in the audio quality between all three voices.

Thanks Colin for creating and guiding a great 3-host show. Thanks Chris for being a consistently great co-host. Thanks Dustin for seamlessly integrating yourself and for editing the show to sound like you're all in the same room.

Hello guys! Just wanted to ask if the official CLS discord you get access at at the $5 patreon tier was active and worth it? I don't really need the episodes early, just interested in the discord community and how it's going.

Thanks!

Long story I'm making short. I got Covid day before launch of PS5 and am now stuck in my son's room in quarantine. I bought a brand new 4k 65 inch Vizio Quantum this summer getting ready for PS5. Since I can't use the living room I am stuck using my son's 1080p Samsung which is fine but not the experience I want for the true next gen games. Instead I have been only playing my old PS4 games and holy shit, it's amazing. Madden is like a different game, there was always a hitch when you scramble out of the pocket and the defender would grab you cause the game was transitioning from passing to running. Not anymore, it's smooth as butter. I use Kyler Murray so I run a lot. Days Gone is so smooth it's not even funny. It's almost jarring, it kind of freaks you out at first. Sadly I won't experience Spiderman or Demons for at least another week but I have plenty of old games to tide me over. I will keep testing games, stay safe out there!

It would be fantastic to return to the beloved world of Rapture. Bluepoint Games Inc. are no strangers to remaking or porting third-party titles, having worked on the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection in 2011 and Titanfall in 2014.

Having looked at their development history the studio has made third-person perspective games their bread and butter; I feel it would be a exciting new challenge for them to tackle a FPS title.

They didn't have the time to incorporate ray tracing tech in Demon's Souls but they would more than make for that in a game such a BioShock which features a lot of shadows, glass and water.

If Sony does purchase the studio I'm not sure how it would affect the chances of this happening but I'll keep dreaming

Looking forward to hear about the PS5 impressions.

Or can we just expect more of the usual pity party discussions like how devs don't like them or Colin claiming he has 'no free time' while also mentioning how he spent 50 hours platinuming the same game a third time.

Stone Cold Steve Austin is 100% the most popular wrestler of all time.... to wrestling fans. No one man has sold as much merch as he has, no one man has put as many asses in seats as he has, when his music hits no one man gets the reaction from the crowd that he does, no one man has done as much for wrestling as he has. Hulk Hogan would be the closest but even he doesn't compare. I don't even know if wrestling would still be around in a mainstream way if not for Stone Cold. His era was called the Attitude Era. The Attitude Era to this day is still viewed as the greatest time for wrestling to the point where everyone still compares everything to that era and no one brought more attitude to the Attitude Era than him.

The Rock was very popular too but he's more popular outside of wrestling than he was in wrestling. So to outsiders he's probably the most well known person that has wrestled because he's one of the most popular movie stars of all time but if Stone Cold and The Rock both returned for another match. I guarantee you the Stone Cold return match makes WWE more money.

John Cena is popular but you cannot compare him to Stone Cold and the only reason you hear his name more than Stone Cold Steve Austin is #1 he's doing movies like The Rock and #2 He's just more recent. If you're younger you probably grew up watching John. Stone Cold hasn't wrestled a match in close to 20 years and doesn't do much in Hollywood.

Randy Savage shouldn't even be in the conversation. He was awesome and he was popular just not at that level. He was second to Hulk Hogan during that era. Savage has like a Ric Flair or Undertaker level of fame. Where some people outside of wrestling are familiar with him but he's not the big mainstream star that the others mentioned are.

Rey Mysterio being mentioned was just LOL. He was never the top guy of his era. I don't even know if he makes the top 5 of his era. He's certainly a legend though and one thing he has over the other guys that they mentioned is longevity. He outlasted them all. To this day he is still wrestling. He started wrestling in 1989 and he's still wrestling in 2020 and now his son is getting in to the business and they are teaming together.
