[@Dasgewt1]

For all those unaware, Dark souls pc servers won't be back up until some time after Elden Ring releases. They found a really bad vulnerability in the online that would let other players launch code on your system (RCE).They will be fixing it, but making sure it's not in Elden Ring at launch is their (very understandable) priority.

[@WannabeCanadianDev]

Hasn't that vulnerability been around for a while?

[@dragamation3266]

@@WannabeCanadianDev Well if it has then they've become worried enough about it to shut down all the servers for the souls games till they get that fixed

[@Inferryu]

@@WannabeCanadianDev Maybe another one, as far as I know, this one was recently discovered (by a modder?) and the servers went down shortly after it was reported to FromSoft.

[@rmsgrey]

@@WannabeCanadianDev The version I've heard is that the exploit was discovered late last year, and reported at the time, but it wasn't until it was demonstrated on Twitch that action was taken. There are also reports of other issues having been reported previously and not yet fixed as of the time the servers were taken down.

[@leviadragon99]

Either way, it took the white-hat hacker actively demonstrating how bad it could be for Fromsoft to take any action whatsoever. I love their games, but I don't love their inertia when it's "just" innocent players being banned because of hackers dropping hacked items, or having their savefiles wholly borked by the hacker event-triggering NG+, or any of the other truly scummy things that happened before the extent of how bad it can get was demonstrated in full. Fact of the matter is, Fromsoft sat on their hands until the issue or issues became too big to ignore.

[@ballroomscott]

More of this please, and invite Carrie to join too.

[@generrosity]

Only if Carrie likes [edit: wobbly] platformers, otherwise this is NOT a fun game to fall down and not know the moves for!

[@timothymclean]

@@generrosity It seems like the kind of game you can have fun being terrible at if you go in with the right attitude.

[@generrosity]

@@timothymclean maybe? Wanderbot/prime had a four player, and wanderchelle didn't get to interact with the other players at all due to the environment and generally dying before anyone else. It can be brutal

[@davidwilliams5497]

I know this is a big ask schedule-wise and that you lack the recording setup to make it easy and everything, but it’s episodes like this that make me want a Dan v Dan v Carrie v Soraya Mario Party miniseries.

[@pyrosianheir]

I would EAT. THAT. UP.

[@superspeedish]

That would be amazing

[@Ahrpigi]

Four player Overcooked too!

[@andrewhallock2548]

After watching today's video, I would be very happy to watch the two of you play Rounds any time you want to take a break from whatever game you're currently playing.

[@timothymclean]

Or if the Dark Souls servers continue to be down for the next two weeks plus recording time.

[@zodayn]

Man, I love how burst + homing + explosion turns your gun into artillary, this game is so creative in its builds

[@dimwarlock]

I normally feel like these chaotic VS games get old pretty quicly once you've seen all the stages and items, but giving random combinations opens a whole other world, if things like this pick up I would love to see how even Smash Bros. like games can become. I was in tears during that last match, it was amazing.

[@pedroscoponi4905]

I started this video thinking "ooh, that's a really clever name for what this game is!" and ended out of breath from laughing. This is the best 😂

[@sirB0nes]

That was such a fun episode! Really interesting design concept for this game. And any game that makes Dan Floyd say "Oh nyo! Oh nyo!" is a good game, imo. This _has_ to make it in the line-up if and when there's another Battle of the Dans.

[@princessLilytea]

you can block when you hit the edge of the screen to avoid damage, and it launches you up way higher. so falling to the bottom of the screen doesn't have to be a death sentence. also demonic pact hp cost doesn't kill you. it will reduce you to 1 HP, so anything can kill you. But you can keep shooting.

[@treyslider6954]

Oh, is that so? *malicious laughter*

[@missingknight7955]

I recall seeing mods for this that increase the required wins letting builds get even more crazy and mods that add more cards.

[@sams.975]

Getting some serious Battle of the Dans flashbacks here! I kept expecting "Dan Wins!" to pop up on screen with confetti. Seriously laughed so hard watching this. I vote this be the filler game going forward.

[@AK-tr6lo]

Dan Jones’ final build was amazing

[@ironmilutin]

Mutually assured Danstruction in its purest form

[@timothymclean]

@@ironmilutin Unfortunately for Jonesey, he was _way_ closer to the Danstruction every time.

[@Volvagia1927]

Double bouncy exploding bullet spray! How was that not going to be turning fire into "Immediately Destroy Self"?

[@SlackwareNVM]

Guys, this was amazing. Now my head hurts from laughing for the last 20 minutes straight. All I know is that I want MOAR!

[@andersonborba2060]

I don't remember laughing this hard in a while... Hell, I don't remember hearing Dan Floyd laughing this hard ever! This ep was great! Now I need to get a group to play this nonsense

[@fourcatsandagarden]

I laughed so hard I scared my cats, especially in that last round

[@kiapet286]

I laughed so hard my sister (who was across the room watching her own video) started telling me to breathe

[@bryanbradford2829]

“We’ll be back with Dark Souls next week”. *checks Dar Souls tweets* *checks Elden Ring release date* I have my doubts on that statement. Not the Dans fault, mind you.

[@kadinriggs6840]

if dark souls servers are still down next week maybe they'll play more rounds =)

[@Inferryu]

@@kadinriggs6840 Aparently they will be down until Elden Ring comes out.

[@leviadragon99]

@@Inferryu At least.

[@ahandsomefridge]

Yeah, it's gonna be a little while. At least the series won't end too quickly now.

[@timothymclean]

Hooray, more Rounds!

[@macFuzzle]

That second round turned into an amazing game of Worms.

[@PaladinGaymer]

Omg that was hysterical. I could not stop laughing and think I need to get this game for my entire family now. 🤣

[@CommissarMitch]

5:37 The way he says "Come here Dan" is perfect

[@vezroth3600]

Omg... I couldn't stop laughing for that last round. We need more of this game!

[@simpleChoas33]

To describe the final build: "Pray"

[@Kio_Kurashi]

They should link to this video as an advertisement for the game. I had so much fun just enjoying watching you two enjoy playing.

[@thephoenix6651]

Haha, this was amazing. I had a large smile on my face the entire time. We need more ROUNDS!

[@antonhamdali8754]

This whole episode is definitely going to be in Playframe 2022 Highlights. The whole clip :D

[@ToriTheChicken]

This video managed to make me laugh loudly, and sell a game. The game looks amazing and your chemistry and presentation is still superb!

[@hadriennogueira3726]

This episode, the ice hockey one and remembering battle of the dans really makes me want to see more pvp games on the channel

[@timothymclean]

Like Overcooked?

[@evieraines1333]

I am SO on board for more of this game. I haven't laughed this hard since What the Golf. XD

[@krishnansubramoni7801]

I was smiling the whole time because this episode is probably one of Playframe's best ever episodes alongside the SNES games episode 🧡🧡

[@Sientir]

Wow, this was amazing to watch. An excellent and hilarious time! 🤣 This game needs to come back. Heck, I'd love to see it in a Battle of the Dans!

[@SlackwareNVM]

I don't know how many people can play at once, but at the very least a tournament between 3 Dans and 1 honorary Dan would be a blast.

[@erikasilva4183]

I can’t believe how hard I was laughing at the end of this

[@rocovailo2862]

I don't think I've laughed as hard as I did tonight at one of playframes videos. I was laughing so hard I was crying XD This... this is a game I must play with my friends.

[@windwolf7517]

I would ADORE seeing more of this. Love you guys. Your videos help me out when I'm having a bad day.

[@NightStarGamer]

I would love to see more of this game. Seems like you two are having a blast which is contagious, give me vibes of being akid and playing games with friends on a couch.

[@muraalia]

This was the funniest anything I've seen in ages, I'm in pain from laughing 🤣

[@florallychaotic]

"The Dan? The other Dan for Kuzco? The not me Dan chosen specifically to kill Kuzco? Kuzco's Me Dan? That Him Dan?" "YES THAT DAN DAN"

[@svndve]

Just a heads up: - Demonic Pact doesn't kill you if you shoot too much, it just drains your HP to a minimum of abt 1%. - When you're abt to touch the edge of the screen, you can use your block at the last second to launch yourself away from taking damage from it. - Cold Bullet's bullet slow effect means that it applies a slowing effect to your target. - Getting multiples of the same card means that you can stack abilities, making them better at doing what they do (i.e. 2 Timed Explosions makes 2 delayed explosions on impact) Love watching your vids btw! Keep it up!

[@rakatika]

Holy crap those last few moments had me cry laughing and constantly rewinding to see every detail of chaos.

[@SpellCaster1830]

Yes, PLEASE play this more! You can mod it if you need more variety, adding more rounds or choosing two powers at a time. It would be fun to see what shenanigans you can come up with while playing this amazing game!

[@erwinlimawan3158]

11:27 “No.” Boy that’s cold.

[@sevensunlessdays1284]

I could've easily watched two hours of this, I'm not gonna lie :D

[@skylarkessler9805]

This game seems really chaotic and fun, I bet some hilarious moments would come from it.

[@velemamba260]

This was absolutely delightful. I'd love to watch more of this!

[@BlizzardofKnives]

That was absolutely hilarious , I hope we can see more of this.

[@Ahrpigi]

6:48 "You don't need bombs..." Flashback to the ZelTroid Randomizer :D 19:23 Ready to be a [BIG SHOT]?

[@stormie5666]

The little animations and general vibe of this game are just the greatest thing

[@timothymclean]

0:10: There are _much_ worse times for the servers to go down. Like, five minutes earlier. 5:00: A very simple balancing mechanism, to prevent either player from just lucking into a great combination of skills and dominating the rest of the game. 23:30: Remember how the Dans were trying to charge at each other to use their close-range abilities last round? 33:40: When your bullets are _that_ impressive, you can afford to take the cool option. 48:30: It feels like when the designers had to decide how skills would interact, they chose the option that would maximize chaos every single time. 0:35: "Twitch matchmaking"? Huh. Wonder how that works. Always kinda neat to see games design features specifically for streamers/LPers. 3:10: *Deeply* disappointed that Dan Floyd's character is not way larger due to the Huge skill. I'm not sure he's larger at all... 8:15: I see Dan is going for a collateral damage build. With his HP boost, it's possible that he'd have an edge on surviving mutually assured damage, if it wasn't for the fact that the other Dan can just hurt him by getting close. 12:55: I am _so_ disappointed Dan didn't go for bouncy exploding bullets. 16:55: Important question, how many HP do you start with? Could be a good ability if it's 1,000; much worse if it's 50. 22:30: The only thing better than victory, is unexpected victory. 29:05: Yikes. 41:50: I now count three blocks per block. That's a lot of bullet reflection. 51:40 Dan is having more fun losing this than I have fun winning most shmups.

[@VenusAsAFormerBoy]

I'd love it if you did more of this! It's so fun to watch

[@davidwilliams5497]

THE BATTLE OF THE DANS RETURNS!!!

[@thekidfromcanada]

51:55 duck and cover proving to be an effective strategy.

[@justember794]

If Battle of the Dans ever comes back this NEEDS to be on the schedule!

[@JudinA]

This was so much fun. Another episode would be awesome.

[@XxDerpygamerxX]

God, I'd love a playframe battle royale with this game

[@Fachewachewa]

Oh my god that moment when the homing bullets fell back :'D

[@sayi50ch]

I absolutely wouldn't mind you two playing this until you exhausted every possible combination.

[@Composureman]

Please give us more of this. I haven't laughed like this at a youtube video for some time xD

[@hannahm7646]

This was amazing. Y’all sound like you’re having so much fun. If this is what we get when Dark Souls goes down, it can stay down for a while 😂

[@SentaeJohnson]

On one hand, I'm sad the Dark Souls playthrough is paused. On the other hand...We get to enjoy THIS!!! :D

[@mariacargille1396]

A rollicking good time that I would absolutely watch more of! :)

[@jkristoff88]

Can we have two Saturday series now lol? This and Dark Souls? This is spectacular

[@Rallion1]

For anyone who's confused, first game Dan is orange and Dan is blue. Second round *Dan* is blue, and Dan is orange. Then on the third round Dan is blue while Dan is orange. Hope that helps.

[@paulungar6001]

I could definitely watch a lot more of this. It seems like you two are having a lot of fun!

[@SIaanme]

Oh man, I wish this game was out for something I could actually play it on. It looks amazing! Laughing from beginning to end.

[@Altrue]

It was amazing to watch, ROUNDS is such a fun game! You should have picked grow at least once, I GURANTEE you that you'd pick it every single time afterwards, it's just so devastating!

[@Garwik]

My face hurts from grinning ear to ear for the entire duration of this video. This is peak sheDanigans.

[@brendanward7595]

This was just too much fun! More, please!

[@marrond]

This was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time!!

[@Guydude777]

Love watching you two have fun. This was great.

[@brockmckelvey7327]

I was wondering how far ya'll got before FromSoft paused the PC online of DS3. I'm VERY excited for more Double -Dragon- Dan action!

[@simonhede4381]

Man I'd love to see more of this!

[@zerareota1560]

Yes! I want to see so much more of this! It’s so fun to watch

[@hillmengogo]

This made me cry with laughter- I assume with servers down until Elden ring You might be back with more of this…? Please…?

[@netbattler119]

DAN WINS

[@arthurhill8185]

This is the funniest game I've seen you play in ages! I want more!

[@rundinj]

It's over Danakin. I have the high ground.

[@Zanarthis]

I would honestly love to see you guys play this more, maybe with friends. (Carrie, destroy them all >:) )

[@MrDaXLR]

The frikkin' homing mortar shot at 22:30 was some galaxy brain stuff Edit: That games looked like SO MUCH FUN! This needs some ultra-chaos 4 players mode.

[@timothymclean]

And if you look closely, both Dans had some shots aimed at them-Dan just died before they could explode on Dan. Also, judging by some of the KZbin videos I've seen, it has even higher-chaos modes with at least eight players.

[@ShadowMystic7]

This reminds me of Stick Fight: The Game. This one definitely feels like there's more of a strategy element.

[@mostlikelysmarterthanyou5031]

This game was actually made by Landfall, which are the developers who also made stick fight!

[@bl33kselderij]

I was wearing my dark souls clothes and had my dark souls snacks ready, but man was this hilarious :-)

[@RndmFndm103]

you guys definitely need to play more of this, and maybe invite Carrie to

[@EricOrang]

I wonder what this is like with more people. Honestly seems chaotic with just 2 I'd be pure chaos with like 4

[@safaiaryu12]

I was smiling the whole time. So much fun!

[@joemalo5335]

I would not mind more of this madness.

[@zachrodan7543]

that last round... dan "frankenstein" jones. you have created a monster, and it wants your blood

[@CommissarMitch]

A thing I love about this is that the cards only give exact info when absolutely needed. How much is "A bunch more HP"? Does not matter.

[@Ultracity6060]

This reminds me of a mix of Liero and the Destruct mode in Tyrian.

[@WolfAmaril]

OK WE SERIOUSLY NEED MORE ROUNDS THOUGH!

[@Salsmachev]

I for one welcome out PlayRounds overlords

[@SarimDeLaurec]

I'm loving this. Mooooore and with more people :D

[@Vedues]

My wife and I like to have a game night at least once a week. I'm pretty sure you guys just found the perfect game for us.

[@kadinriggs6840]

you guys should totally play rounds every once in a while it's super funny!

[@WhiteWizard42]

This was excellent; would absolutely be down for more. And echoing other comments that it would make for a remarkable Battle of The Dans type feature.

[@TheHct123]

This was an absolutely lovely episode ÷D

[@ICountFrom0]

Overpower + HEALING, lovely combo.

[@zachrodan7543]

I want to see you guys do more of this, but maybe with even longer matches. (I believe you can set the wins needed to be higher...)

[@DaneeBound]

You name-dropped Snipperclips there, and I definitely see the resemplence, but I’m getting more of a Nidhogg vibe in there.

[@ericaransford9770]

I hope that if you guys do play this again, you check out some of the crazy card mods that are out there (Also things like playing for ten rounds/doing two cards at a time.) There are some really wacky ones that just make it that much more hilarious.

[@stack_4544]

i remember watching this weeks prior and audibly going “ah,” at the beginning. im sure you all can guess why.

[@cole7463]

If I'm not mistaken, the demonic pact doesn't take away the owner's final 1HP. From there on, you can shoot freely without being scared of dying.

[@Dasgewt1]

This was a super fun one, hope to see more of it in the future.

[@OhNoBohNo]

Having the loser get to choose new abilities is such a fun way to mitigate the sting of loss!

[@GlydeBorealis]

22:31 the moment I saw those red lines, I knew he was dead XD
