Miracle Resonance Episode Progress Update (and a video clip!)

So I've completely scripted and recorded the audio for the upcoming Miracle Resonance episode, but haven't begun recording footage and editing just yet. One of the central topics of the video is th...

A scenario you've definitely never seen before.

So Miracle Resonance won the most recent episode poll, I've begun scripting and did some (very preliminary) footage gathering as well. This has no real purpose but while thinking about how rare Mir...

First stretch goal met, and new goal added!

Thanks so much everyone for your support! Completing the 8-bit Majula theme is now on the to-do list! I'll aim to have it completed and released with the next episode of Dark Souls Dissected.

Making good progress into the next episode!

The episode about the prototype maps for the Gutter / Grave of Saints is coming along nicely! I'm over ...

Something wicked this way comes

So something really cool arrived this weekend. I was lent a PS4!

But why would I borrow one if I already own one? Well, you can probably guess what "JB" stands for!

Dark Souls 2 Dissected - Next Episode Progress

This next episode is all about early map designs for The Gutter and Grave of Saints! Yes, this area is getting its own episode entirely because there really is that much to look at! It's the area t...

Significantly decreasing or outright disabling mid-roll ads.

Hey everyone, I've gotten some complaints about the excessive mid-roll ads.

YouTube has added these automatically to all of my videos, but I'll go back and fix them. Unfortunately I can't fi...

Episode Select Poll #2

So coming up I have another specific Dark Souls 2 episode in mind, but I'd like to get another poll going for the episode after that! This time it's all Dark Souls 1 options, to help ensure that co...

Mr. Gimmick episode is coming along! Probably about 4/5ths done recording and editing!

This is coming along nicely! I was hoping to get it done this weekend but it's looking much more likely...

The Mr. Gimmick Script is underway, but I'm also working on the next Dark Souls 2 Dissected as well!

I don't necessarily have a set way of preparing for upcoming projects, but with the amount of work that go can into a single episode I find that it's more enjoyable to take breaks and mess around w...

The winner of the first episode select poll is in!

And it's "Mr. Gimmick Dissected"!

If you're wondering what the heck this is and why isn't it Dark...

Dark Souls 2 Dissected # 2 - Out of Bounds Exploration is Live!

It's still processing as it just very recently finished uploading, so it may take a while before the 4k version is accessible. Enjoy!

Almost halfway done! (and a look at the project file)

I'm a little over 13 minutes into what's shaping up to be a ~30 minute episode. I never like to promise anything being done by a certain time, since anything can happen, but I think this being fini...

Next Dark Souls 2 Dissected Episode [Script Finished and Recorded]

So the script has been recorded and the audio is finished being edited! I tend to script things completely in advance and try to make everything work with just one long audio file, but of course it...

Dark Souls 2 Out of Bounds (Preview 1)

Moving the camera during cutscenes can reveal some pretty funny-looking things.

Decisions decisions... (about the upcoming episode)

The poll for the episode after next is still open, I figure I'll keep that up for a bit. But the actual next episode is going to be about out of bounds content in Dark Souls 2!

Soul Memory Follow-up: Another observation on the early matchmaking info.

So in the Soul Memory video, I had a part explaining how I think Bandai Namco wasn't lying when they gave us incorrect information. I can elaborate on that some more here.

Episode Select Poll #1

Hey there! Welcome to the first episode poll. I'd love for fans' input on what they'd like to see me talk about next! Though this won't be for the very next episode (I have another, specific Dark S...

Soul Memory Follow-up: It's a Secret to Everybody (a hidden detail in the episode)

I'll probably post this to twitter later, but a hidden detail I didn't bring attention to is the fact that the Looking Glass Knight has an alternate summoning animation when it summons another onli...

Soul Memory Outtake: A Strange Encounter with the Pursuer

Here's an outtake from the Soul Memory episode. I caught some random co-op footage, and... this happened during the Pursuer encounter. I'm not sure what the cause was.

The host was cheating (...
