Episode 93: Cameron Oct 04, 2017

Show notes

The third and final cohost from the Monster Dear Monster podcast is Cameron, and this is his episode of Don't Give Up, Skeleton. Cameron and I had a blast talking about his history with the series, why Dark Souls 2 is great, and why invasions are so scary. Be sure to go check out MDM (I would highly recommend starting with the episode on Shin Godzilla) and Cameron's twitter. Thanks for listening everyone!

This week we have three guests, all hosts of the Monster Dear Monster podcast. This episode's guest is Dave, who started way back with Demon's Souls but never really got hooked until Dark Souls 2.

Episode 91: NinjaBadger7 Oct 04, 2017

Show notes

Hello! We're starting this week with a bang! Three episodes, each one with a host from the Monster Dear Monster podcast. This episode's guest is NinjaBadger7, an extremely nice person who has lots of affection for the series, specifically Bloodborne. We talk about how the game's difficulty can prevent it from being accessible to "normal" gamers, and that special sense of satisfaction of killing a boss that you've been banging your head against for hours. Be sure to check out the Monster Dear Monster podcast for all of your monster needs.

Episode 90: Theomeny Sep 27, 2017

Show notes

Welcome back, listeners. This week's guest is Theomony, a Souls lore enthusiast with some fascinating insights into the Souls/Bloodborne games. We've been friends on Twitter for awhile now, so it was great to sit down with her and talk about her experiences with the games. Be sure to check out her Souls streams and YouTube for some great hashtag content. Thanks for listening everyone!

Heads up everyone: since recording this podcast, Theomony released an essay entitled Lethe and Aletheia: The Essence of the Soul in Dark Souls, which you can find in the links below. I asked her to come back onto the show and discuss it, so after the credits in the main episode, stay tuned for an extra 30 minutes of lore talk centered around the essay.

Episode 89: Adam F Sep 20, 2017

Show notes

This week's guest is Adam, a guy who loves making lists about his favorite and least favorite things in Dark Souls. Adam and I sat down and talked about him discovering the games, his desire for a Star Wars themed Souls game, and the fact that he loves the Chalices (yes!). Enjoy the episode, everyone!

Episode 88: Sightless Pyromaniac Sep 13, 2017

Show notes

This week's guest is a friend of mine from tumblr and a big contributor to my old blog, Dark Souls Haters. Sightless and I sit down and talk about DS1, 2, and 3, because he's mostly a PC guy and skipped Demon's and Bloodborne. We talk about why everyone hates magic users in PVP, why cookie cutter builds are bad, and I get salty over Souls PVP in general. Enjoy!

Episode 87: Terese Sep 06, 2017

Show notes

Well, prepare to fall in love with Terese. Teresa's son bought her Demon's Souls, but she was a bit too intimidated to start it. So she waited until a co-worker convinced her to play Dark Souls, and she's been in love ever since. She talks about her journey through the games, how she spends time doing co-op runs with her husband, and the reasons she didn't click with Bloodborne. I promise you, this is one you don't want to miss.

And look! Terese made a comic about being on the show!

Episode 86: Trond Aug 30, 2017

Show notes

Trond is a Dark Souls fan all the way from Norway, and has a very interesting in depth look into the games. We sat down a few months ago and talked about his introduction to the series, and how he used the game's reputation for difficulty to power through the early parts of the game.

Episode 85: Sara Aug 23, 2017

Show notes

Sara (who goes by BellringerKat on tumblr) is a professional illustrator and part time Bloodborne lore guru. Because of the distance between us (she's in Italy), the audio quality is a bit rough this week. I promise you're going to want to listen, though, because Sara has some very interesting insight into the world of Bloodborne. She also has a different opinion to on the subject of people shipping Gherman and Lady Maria, which I think is pretty fascinating. Enjoy!
