Thread 717228110

I’m real sorry to bother you again, I know you’re a busy man, shitpostin' on /v/ and all, and heck, beating Dark Souls without a guide? That's—wow, that's somethin'. I mean, I get lost just lookin' at a map of that place, you know? And the drake sword? I didn’t even know you could miss that, hah... You must’ve really known your way around.

It’s just—ah, and I hate to bring it up—there’s this one little thing that’s been naggin’ at me. Just a small detail, probably nothing. See, you said you walked right past the drake sword, didn’t stop to shoot the tail. But... that means you’d have to go across the bridge. Past the dragon.

Now, I’m sure a guy like you could handle that, no problem. So I just keep wonderin’.. if you didn’t have a guide... how’d you know you could shoot the tail?

That’s the part I just can’t seem to get straight in my head.

I looked up the guide for every single item in Dark Souls, and that includes looking what equipment the NPCs were wearing so that I'd decide if I'd kill them or not.

Because my friend made fun of me for not shooting the tail and using the drake sword, Columbo, so I learned of it after the fact but I just used and upgraded a claymore throughout the entire thing

if you're gonna arrest me then arrest me lieutenant but I won't speak to you without my attorney present

>>717228110 (OP)
Now you listen here Columbo! If you have any other inquiries you may refer them to my lawyer! Now I need to get back to playing some of the various games available for the PlayStation 3 video game console. Good day, sir!

>>717228446
TAKE THAT

>>717228110 (OP)
also why the fuck are you out questioning suspects lieutenant? that's the detectives job. you should be in your office working out on the cop's shift rotas and shit

>>717228110 (OP)
FUUUUUUUUCK

>>717228110 (OP)
You should have removed my weapons before asking me this, Columbo! Have at thee!

sell me on Columbo
what's the appeal? I've never watched it.

Youtube recommended me a video on the drake sword just as I reached dark root garden.

He annoys people into implicating themselves

>>717229331
Supposed idiot accidentally solves crime cases in the most brilliant ways possible, making you question if he's secretly a genius

>>717229331
Stodgy slow dwarf of a man turns out to be a horrifying trickster god of justice who destroys smug and 'smart' men who think they cannot fail

>>717229331
Fun writing, fun acting, additionally you get a fun time capsule into the misty pasts of LA since they've got some nice locations. They're also unusual since the viewer knows who dunnit 99% of the time so it's not a mystery for the viewer so you just sit bad and watch Columbo do his thing. They're well worth watching, there's only 1 or 2 stinkers in there

>>717229331
this Columbo, he pretends to be stupid
but he's really as smart as a tack

>>717229624
anyone who's seen more than a few episodes knows Columbo just plays dumb to give the killers a false sense of security

>>717228110 (OP)
I'm a quadruple-digit hours MHFU player, shooting tails for goodies is in my DNA at this point

>>717229331
Columbo seems to be an oaf of a detective and is continually underestimated, but by the end of the episode he catches the real villain; usually based on a slip up and plays them into admitting or confessing to the crime.

It's really a twist on detective novels and it is rather fun in its presentation. It holds up quite well in spite of its age just because of how focused it is.

>>717228110 (OP)
there were two saves, and my client clearly own the KidsInMyBasement save (hence his previous crime record)
and that one had no drake sword

>>717229963
they only released 1 episode a month too, so they had more time to spend on cinematography and editing. each episode feels like a movie, especially in the early seasons

>>717229331
It's a show where both you and columbo already know who did it, the point is to watch him annoy the killers into playing themselves.

>>717228110 (OP)
Drake Sword isn't even good. Not worth the time it takes to get. That was a weapon for a different era, one where didn't know how to roll or what scaling stats were.

absolute kino
downloading all seasons now

>>717228110 (OP)
sorry, i just don't trust people with one eye, colombo

Who even remembers colombo on this board?

>>717229331
fun detective show, you see the crime take place at the start, columbo locks onto the killer right away too. but the mystery is seeing how columbo gathers the clues and wears down the killer with his questions to get a confession.

it's kinda like an ace attorney case.

>>717229331
You get introduced to a smug cunt and watch some goofball absolutely demolish their lives and egos.

>it's kinda like an ace attorney case.
That's actually the easiest way to describe it.
Ace Attorney TV show but starring a cop.

>>717229331
great detective show but gets stinkier around season 8-9 when the irl columbo actor starts getting dimensia

>>717229331
kinda like Death Note but the good guy wins and the series is contained to the episode

It's kind of amazing how Columbo's ultimate weapon is purely making smart people overthink themselves into a very stupid and simple trap

*Columbo examines a door frame while deep in thought and spills cigar ashes on the carpet*
>Excuse me, what on earth are you doing?
>>Oh, pardon me, sir. Just looking around the scene.
>Who the hell are you?
>>Uh, Lieutenant Columbo, sir. I'm a detective. Now uh, where did I place my badge...ah, here we are.
>I see...
>>Mr. Brown, I couldn't help but notice that the room where the victim suffocated to death had wooden doors, doesn't that seem a bit odd to you?
>I don't follow, Lieutenant, and quite frankly I have a great deal of work to do on my taxes, and I would rather not have people wandering around my house in the meantime.
>>Oh, I understand that, sir. My wife is all about getting our taxes done early, it's a mess around the house. Me? I can't seem to follow any of that gibberish.
>Yes, Lieutenant, I wish you luck with all of that.
>>And you too, sir.
*Columbo pretends to leave before turning around, much to the dismay of the house owner*
>>Just one more thing, I'm terribly sorry about all the mess that I've made here, it seems that I spilled ash all over your candle holder here. Now, let me write you a check to pay for cleaning that.
>That won't be necessary.
>>Oh, I couldn't just leave this mess here, I'd feel awful about it. Besides, the chief has instructed me to make sure that the department pays for any damages involved with us investigating things.
>Well, if you insist, Lieutenant.
>>Who shall I make the check out to?
>Jonathan Brown Katz.
>>Oh, and here I was thinking your last name was Brown. I apologize, Mr. Katz. What kind of name is that anyway? Swedish?
>It's Hebrew, Lieutenant.
*Avante-Garde ominous 70s music plays*
>>Now isn't that interesting.
