Ever wonder if a game's mechanics can be twisted so thoroughly that every enemy in the game dies in 1-hit? I know I have. And now, with Enshrouded finally released, I think it's time we put that theory to the test. youtu.be/CBPt0mcM5zw

Stealthing through Dark Souls 2 is not a thing that should exist. And yet here we are. I don't know why, but you can stealth through Dark Souls 2. And I'm going to show you how. youtu.be/GsejcyszJrk

You wake up on a rocky highland. Ahead of you is a singular black obelisk rising infinitely into the sky, impossibly tall, broken at the base. A voice reaches out to you. And gives you a choice. youtu.be/cCPslVhYVnE

Snikt snikt! Parry! Riposte! Stab stab stab stab stab! You get the idea. youtu.be/9ftnDOU9aXM

Stop. Hammer time. youtu.be/N4lfQR4iuHg

After getting access to the beta and talking to the development team, I've put together my thoughts on Monster Hunter's new mobile game and what it means for the series. We need to talk...about Monster Hunter : Outlanders. youtu.be/W-Piqyp6-90

Tides of Annihilation is not a souls-like...and that's a good thing. youtube.com/shorts/H8JJ5yV1Z…

The 1-Shot Contest. I've always wanted a reason to do it myself. And today, I've finally found a way to not only make it harder, but also do it in a way that has never been done before. And it nearly broke me. youtu.be/7el4-IvyARU

Y'know, I don't think I should be allowed to play automation factory games anymore. I keep breaking things. youtu.be/u8gYF7zVJoU

A few years ago, I ran a 1-shot Contest for Dark Souls 1 and invited a bunch of Youtube creators to participate. And one run was so unconventional that I haven't stopped thinking about it since. So. Can you 1-shot DS1 as a dragon? youtu.be/Q_7AD63BGj4

"So are you ready to launch the Melon plushie?" "Yup!" "Wait, what are you doing with all those explosives?" "...I don't follow." The Melon Plushie is now live on Makeship! Available for a limited time only : makeship.com/products/melon-…

Earthworm Jim is a 90s game that I remember fondly, but never truly finished, as I have vague memories of it getting impossibly hard at points. So what better way to revisit the game than by making it even harder on ourselves? youtu.be/M7CWT-FrgQE

Dark Souls 1 Without Aggroing Enemies. Last time we attempted this, we got the run all the way to Sens Fortress before we were no longer able to progress. We covered a lot of side paths, but the main questline was unobtainable. ...or so I thought. youtu.be/yD4XEoiH2Cs

Ahhhhh Gothic. Retro dark fantasy at its finest. Set in a prison mining colony, all sorts of dangers await us. Dangers like orcs...or the horrifying (yet somehow adorable) bone chickens. But what if we only had the pickaxe we came in with? youtu.be/7fgk1vK2UjY

Today, we're going to see how far into Dark Souls we can get without alerting/aggroing any enemies. You know, in a game that doesn't have a dedicated stealth mechanic. This should go well. youtu.be/Yyds7JJJlpo

Headshots. Every time they show up in a game, you know you're in for a good time. But unlike other games, Dark Souls 1 has some...interesting...ideas about how headshots should work. youtu.be/KATMFGsrNnY

That's right. It's time for some good ol' Disney games. You know, the ones that the developers literally apologized for because they made some of the levels hard on purpose so you couldn't beat them in a single weekend rental? Yeah, those ones. youtu.be/88Sodu8rv00

That's right baby, we're going back to the classics! Back when Mario could only walk, run, duck and jump. But that begs the question - is the game even doable if you remove 1/4th of Mario's movement mechanics? youtu.be/_RnO-WhK-uU?si=aHqt…

In case you missed the news, we're back again for another round of suffering. Take care, friend. Don't you dare go hollow.

Hammers are pretty cool in Dark Souls, but what about their bigger, angrier cousin, Great Hammers? Do they live up to their name? Or are they just an overhyped mess? ...oh who are we kidding, you can't go wrong with some Big Bonks. youtu.be/RKwF-fobqQg?si=I56x…
