Unrelated to anything I'm working on, I found a funny glitch in Dark Souls 2. I found that despawning this elevator in Shulva, while it's still during its animation of returning to the top position will confuse the game. When you warp back to the area, it'll descend on its own when you get back t...
2025-02-13 21:52:56 +0000 UTC View PostI've got another Dark Souls 2 video on the way, this time a somewhat shorter one, exploring the time that seemingly everyone thought that player messages were blocking illusory walls and got annoyed by it.
Here's a sneak pick at the Interaction Amalgam™; Something cursed I modded into th...
My next video should be completed by this weekend, or if not, sometime early next! It's all about the pickaxe quest in Dark Souls 2, and other pig secrets. Originally intended to be a shorter video, I found that there was surprisingly quite a lot to talk about. It's going to be in the ballpark of...

It's finished and currently uploading! But with the large filesize and my pitiful upload speeds, combined with the time needed to process on youtube, it most likely won't be ready until Friday now. Just wanted to let you know if you were waiting & expecting it sooner!
Really looking fo...
I don't have an exact ETA, but I believe this should be ready by Thursday at the latest if there aren't any major hiccups.
I made another long episode, this time all about the invisible walls of Dark Souls 2. I've been having a blast exploring the game using Debug Manager, something I didn...
A little behind the scenes clip back from my Retrieving Lost Items video that I meant to post here. For part of that video, I talked about how indictments are infinite use and I wanted some footage of the misleading indictment count that gets displayed in the indictment usage prompt.
So I ...
I got four pages into the script of what should probably be episode #20 of Dark Souls Dissected, but it's another very mechanics-focused discussion. I realize that's what most of my videos are, but after the last video, instead of making two videos in a row that feel kind of same-y to me I've had...
2024-02-02 19:33:30 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! I'm happy to have finally gotten the lost items video up. My computer had a hard drive failure and I had to reinstall windows, which delayed the video by about a week!
In the next couple days I'm going to work on making better changes for the Discord. Patreon will have proper...
I'm almost done scripting my next Dark Souls Dissected, which will be a somewhat shorter video on the Lost and Found items chest in Firelink Shrine. It won't be a very meaty episode, but I firmly believe it currently stands as Dark Souls most misunderstood mechanic, something I'll explain in the ...
2023-12-28 01:50:47 +0000 UTC View PostI've been working on a few episode ideas simultaneously, and I initially planned on another topic being my next video. But I've now made up my mind, the next episode is going to be all about Seek Guidance and the Hidden Developer Messages of Dark Souls 1.
I compiled the list of all the hid...
The episode about Dark Souls 1 prototype maps is coming along nicely, the video is past the 20 min mark and I'm expecting it to be done no longer than a week from now!
I was originally hoping to mo...
2023-10-02 19:42:14 +0000 UTC View PostIt was supposed to be a shorter episode but the script is 18 pages long! I'm not sure how that'll translate to total length but we might be looking at something more like a 30 minute episode (or longer) instead of a shorter ~15 min I had in mind. But that's okay! I think people are going to dig t...

One of my upcoming projects, probably my next video, is going to explore a bit of prototype map content of Dark Souls 1. I can get some of them to load in debug, but the maps are very dark and don't look the best, so I'm looking into modding them to brighten them up...

Not only am I happy to have it wrapped up, but I'm excited to be able to move forward with other video ideas I've had in mind. My goal is to make at least 2, if not 3, shorter vids before I take on a bigger project again. Partly to feel like I can mak...

2023-04-26 00:20:39 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! Progress has been a bit slow with the Demon's Souls Compare-Through. I've had to deal with some kind of serious stuff going on that ate up a lot of time these past couple weeks, but things are okay and should be back on track soon!
I was stoked to learn that an old, unrelease...
Feeling better and back in the swing of things! The script for the Stonefang video is currently 27 pages long, so we're looking at an episode that will probably be over an hour and fifteen minutes in length.
I'm only part-way through 2-2, but these videos tend to be heavily front-loaded wi...

Last week I made some solid progress towards the next episode, the script is currently at page 13. I'm excited about some of the extra datamining details we didn't have access to previously, like the Hoplite Shield's exact drop rate (it's ~0.55% at base ...
So I'm finally returning to the compare-through, and I've already made a discovery that's new to me. Maybe someone has seen this before, but I've run it by a couple people deep into Demon's Souls datamining and it just seems to be easy to miss, it's new to all of us so far. This ...

I updated my video editing software, I'd been using Wondershare Filmora and didn't even realize I was a fe...
2023-02-03 05:54:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe project expanded in scope a little bit, climbing up to roughly an hour-long episode! The vocal editing is done & finished and today I finally started the actual video file, with the introduction completed. Full steam ahead!

I've finished the script and begun recording my voice! Over the next several days I'll continue recording and editing vocal audio. The script is ~23 pages long so right now it seems to be on par with some of my longer episodes; I'll be surprised if this is under 45 minutes. Can't wait to get this...

Earlier today I spent some time answering more follow-up questions about poise in the comments of the latest video, but I'm ready to start scripting the next episode soon.
I have multiple Dark Souls 2 video ideas in mind but I also just had a sudden idea for a Dark Souls 1 that I really li...
I think it'll be ready this weekend! I originally wanted this to be a pretty quick follow-up video, but in reviewing questions and trying to decide how many to include, I wasn't satisfied in picking just 10 or 15 (the original plan) and instead built it around answering 20 questions!

I'm working on a Q&A follow-up to the Elden Ring poise episode, and someone mentioned that they never broke the stance of Radagon and were wondering if a critical attack was available.
At first I was going to say yes, because I remembered seeing the orange glow following the stance bre...
