pfff. he has always had the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ voice/microphone out of any dark souls vids i've watched. :D tho was a long time ago maybe he has bought a proper mic since.

I'm glad to actually see a video so in depth about this. I've had personal issues with Vaati from as far back as 2013, but personal reasons aside, it's great to see this.

I've had several of my clan members over the years that have referred to Vaati as a Dark Souls god, yet I've never seen it. His gameplay is mediocre, his voice is half decent for narrating, and I never really felt like I learned anything from watching his videos.

Oh well, guess it's time to swallow that salt. Anyone gotta glass of water? No? Alright.

And here's his response, apparently:

That's a shame. He had some valid points about his own video and the Paleblood Hunt (which neither Vaati nor the Bonfireside Chat guy could refute beyond saying "nuh-uh" and "maybe he copied it but it was really good so whatevs," respectively) but he also over-reached and let animosity shine through with the extended speculation and "gotcha" format towards the end of the vid.
