What in the hell is that?
What is Load our Last Souls?
Vinny+Brad would be great for content like that
Probably going to be Vinny and Rorie.

Well, Rorie is pretty much confirmed but it would be great to have Brad as well, he seemed interested in the game. But isn't he on vacation right now?
why is this premium?...why is this site laden with premium bullshit as of late when regular users suggested a Dark souls playthrough?
Because they want you to buy a premium membership. That is how business works. It's all about the profit. Go buy a premium membership (plus help support these cool dudes as an added bonus).
@abendlaender: yeah, he's on vacation this week so no Brad.
Whoa. I read that earlier and didn't even catch the Souls part. I figured it was just Load Our Last Save and thought that was pretty cool already.

Did he? He always seemed pretty dismissive of the game's to me. (Although not as much as Jeff.)
I am incredibly excited for what is basically the return of Load Our Last Save. Vinny always has great content ideas and follows through on them more than the rest of the staff.

In the last four weeks there's been 3 Unprofessional Fridays, 3 Spookin w/ Scoops, and 2 Daily Dotas. I would not consider that "laden with premium content." If anything it's a bit short.

I'd love to but no, there still is no option to pay a monthly sub via PayPal. I live overseas and they still can't put a monthly sub option for PayPal? It's been 5 years now since premium memberships?
Vinny stopped playing about 2 years ago and never got around to finishing. Rorie is playing through it recently and office talk has Vinny back in to it. They are bit around the same point (lord vseel/tomb of giants).
The name is a play on Load Our Last Save - a series where Vinny and Drew would play from the last save on his old xbox 1.

People have suggested DS coverage since it came out. Nobody can claim credit. If you want to see it then support the site. You can get away with paying $5 every six months and download half a years entertainment, I don't think it will break the bank.
Revisiting a 2 year game is exactly the sort of thing they wanted to, and could only justify doing, with premium. If it was only abour ads and traffic they would be encouraged to look at a more recent release.
edit: I see you require paypal. It just isn't worth them doing for $5 as the fees and then they have to credit it manually. I am from europe and pay by debit card. It really isn;' that hard.
Vinny tweeted that he wanted to get Rorie and Ian (is that LtSqugs' name?) so it's probably them.
Oh, you mean Ethan?
Great to see an old premium feature come back. What a great game to revisit too. Hopefully Vinny makes it a regular feature until he finishes it.
Well, good for the people who are premium I guess.
I wish I could afford tossing $50 at the crew, but I am guessing I need the money more than them right now. Still, it does seem like the vast majority of interesting content changes are specifically geared towards subscribers. I'm glad we freebies have the morning show at least.
As has been mentioned before, premium subscriptions justify the varied content that the guys deliver. It's why we get to see them play through old games (especially bad FMV ones), and do crazy things that the broader audience would largely ignore.
The CBSi purchase might've come as a surprise to many, but it is also the reason why Giant Bomb is the way it is right now.
I have no idea how the site was making enough money to stay afloat previously, especially considering the cost of maintaining and hosting the huge amount of content they produce.
If PayPal is not an option, you should try getting a debit card from your local bank. It's common practice for banks to offer them now, no matter where you are.
Moreover, PayPal's fees are usually much higher than using a card so you'll be saving yourself some money, and giving a larger cut to the GB crew.
That way everybody wins yay! :D
@scrawnto: Well, my only thing is that when Vinny first mentioned this on Twitter he didn't really frame it like that.

After spending some time with @LtSquigs I might have to grab him and @frailgesture and get back into Dark Souls. Daily Dark Souls.
Daily Dark Souls sounds a lot like Daily DOTA, which was a free stream. Of course the guys are entitled to make it premium if they want, but I think it is also reasonable to understand why there might be some confusion.
After all the Castlevania: Lords of Shadows during Unprofessional Friday, I was sincerely hoping Vinny was gonna get back into Dark Souls.
@kevin_cogneto: I-than

Just throwing it out there, there is a 5 dollar (1 month) option for those who don't have 50 bucks lying around. In the long run it would cost more, but if there's something you really want to watch, it's a great option for the short term.
@excast: In the end, this felt like a better fit. Vinny's most of the way through the game, so doing this as a Daily Dark Souls probably would've allowed us to do it for, like, four days or something before he's done.
New Character. Make Brad play. Or go with your character that isn't as far.
It's finally happening! :D

Not sure what it has to do with anything but I'm also "overseas" and I've been a premium member since the first BLLSL.
If you have a Paypal it means you have a credit card, so why not use that?
edit: Nevermind, I read more stuff.

"Most of the way through the game"
That's not how it works, you play it and then you play it again... and again... and again.
You can never win, it just keeps going over and over again...
'goes to the corner and cries'
@themanwithnoplan: And sometimes we dont get to spend 5 dolars ... I wish I could but I cant :(
That's probably part of the reason they went with the name Load Our Last Souls instead, because the Load Our Last Save feature was always premium only (though we haven't had one of those in well over a year).
@themanwithnoplan: And sometimes we dont get to spend 5 dolars ... I wish I could but I cant :(
Sure. That's completely understandable. Money can be tight.

Is this an inside joke I don't get? I otherwise don't know where the name "Ethan" would come from.
