“It was a beautiful laughter-inducing sight,” he said. In a way, he had achieved his original goal of making new areas from the game by repapering the existing ones so drastically. Krisis18z was struck by how unfamiliar Dark Souls II looked with these new textures. The result after the first batch had Dark Souls II looking like this (yes, that is George W. There, he had built up a collection of anything on the internet he had found funny, and so these were the first injected into the game. He started out by pulling images from his hard drive. “That’s how I came up with the (idiotic) idea to inject a massive amount of textures to see if the engine could cope with it,” Krisis18z tells me. But he did find out he could mess around with the textures. Unfortunately, none of what Krisis18z was hoping for is possible. This would mean that new areas and weapons could be added to the game-it was curiosity driven by wanting to get more out of a beloved RPG. It all started with Krisis18z wanting to find out if Dark Souls II‘s maps and weapons could be edited somehow. “It was a beautiful laughter-inducing sight” The “Philosopher of the First Meme” mod is another. For these avid and long-time players, who have ran through the game and its DLC several times already, finding new challenges and amusing each other by pranking other players is a way to keep Dark Souls II feeling fresh. This might sound cruel but Dark Souls II is a game that implicitly encourages this type of behavior among its community.
“We tend to use slower and weaker weapons against less experienced players which is entertaining for us (It’s basically like challenging yourself by using a non-optimal setup) but it ends up being a nuisance to the players you fight against,” Krisis18z tells me. As veterans of the game, he and others enjoy annoying less experienced players by purposely using frustrating tactics in the game’s PvP. Have a look at Krisis18z’s Twitch profile and you’ll see he describes himself as “a trashcan souls player and love annoying the hell out of people.” He claims that this sentence is a joke between himself and the people he knows in the Dark Souls II community.
It’s easy to say that “Philosopher of the First Meme” is an effort to troll the Dark Souls II community and anyone else who comes across it. Krisis18z wasn’t just going for discordance with this mod.
A tortuous medley of Pokémon theme music and Korean pop hit “Gangnam Style” is strung together like snot to form the soundtrack. A shoddily-drawn portrait of Link from The Legend of Zelda is the face of the gems used to restore health. Buzz Lightyear grins from a hardened warrior’s flowing cloak.
