Episode 23: Gav Weir Sep 12, 2016

Show notes

That’s right, this week’s guest is the second founder of YouDied.co.uk, Gav Weir! We talk about everything Souls, as usual, starting with the lack of a thorough Dark Souls wiki. I promise, it’s explained in the episode. Be warned, Gav and I apparently suffered some major memory loss during this episode, as neither of us were able to remember some pretty common names. It happens, folks.

Episode 22: Gav Russell Sep 12, 2016

Show notes

Skeletons! Today’s guest is Gav Russell, one of the two people behind YouDied.co.uk. Gav and I share a very hungover conversation that is none-the-less chock full of jokes and chat about Dark Souls, and probably a bunch of other stuff too (look, I said I was hungover, give me a break over here).

Episode 21: Suvesh Sep 06, 2016

Show notes

Welcome back, skeletons! The guest for episode 21 is Suvesh. He doesn’t have a lot of history with games, but when he came across the Souls series for the first time he was hooked. He went on to play all five games so far within a year. A year! That’s crazy. Enjoy the episode!

Episode 20: Fiona Aug 30, 2016

Show notes

Hello skeletons! This week’s guest is Fiona, a name you probably aren’t familiar with. Despite playing FROM software games with her brother since the PS1 days, she hasn’t really had a presence in the Souls community. I have a feeling that’s about to change, though. Fiona and I chat Souls for awhile, and then she starts laying down some serious lore. Over the course of 30 minutes, she pulls together Greek gods, Egyptian gods, possum myths (!!), and all of the royal family from Dark Souls 1 and 3. I’ll be honest, I didn’t 100% track it the first time through, and had to listen again to get a good handle on it. I think you foresters out there will love it.

Since recording, Fiona has opened up her YT channel and started a twitter. So if you have questions, hit her up!

Episode 19: Layne Aug 23, 2016

Show notes

Hello again skeletons! We’re back with another episode of Don’t Give Up, Skeleton. This week’s guest is my good friend Layne, who I met on (you guessed it) on the Duckfeed Slack. We talk about all sorts of Souls, being a dad, and probably some other stuff as well.

Remember, if you’d like to be on the podcast, send me an email to dguspodcast@gmail.com.

Episode 18: Adam B Aug 16, 2016

Show notes

Welcome to another episode of Don’t Give Up, Skeleton! This week we are joined by Adam, a relatively new Souls player. Adam was given a copy of Dark Souls 1 by Emily B (remember episode 8 with Emily?) and has been hooked ever since. Enjoy the episode!

If you’d like to come onto the podcast, send me a DM to @dguspodcast on twitter, or send me an email to dguspodcast@gmail.com.

Episode 17: Rosie Aug 08, 2016

Show notes

Hello Skeletons! This week’s guest is Rosie, a woman I met during the hey days of Dark Souls 2. We became friends on Tumblr, and have kept up with each other over the years since. We have a long conversation about her own journey with the Souls series, pausing to gush over the amazing Old Hunters DLC for Bloodborne (as has become a trend on this show). PLUS! She likes Chalice Dungeons! That makes…three guests so far! Not bad. As always, send me an email to dguspodcast@gmail.com if you want to come on to the show!

Episode 16: Leonard AKA DrFaustIsDead Aug 03, 2016

Show notes

Hello again Skeletons! This week's guest is Leonard, aka DrFaustIsDead. Leonard is a great guy that I met via the Duckfeed group, and has started his own series of "lore plays" videos for Dark Souls 3. See the link below to catch them. Leonard and I had a delightful conversation about all things Souls, so sit back, relax, and let the podcast roll.

Episode 15: NeoLoki Jul 23, 2016

Show notes

NeoLoki makes incredible YouTube videos based on the Souls series. They have a very unique and creepy aesthetic that you just don't normally see. This conversation was recorded a few days before Dark Souls III was released. We talked about marketing the game, NeoLoki's history of making videos, how he came to the Souls series, and all sorts of things in between. His personal connection to the stories of Dark Souls II will change the way you think about that game, and can change the way you think about how games in general.

Remember: send an email to dguspodcast@gmail.com and you can come onto the show! All you need is a microphone and a story about how you came to the Souls games.

Episode 14: Paddy Stardust Jul 18, 2016

Show notes

What?! That’s right, this week there are TWO episodes of Don’t Give Up, Skeleton for your ears to enjoy. I decided to make this a Twin Humanities themed week and post Paddy’s episode the same day as CJ’s. This one was recorded after we had both finished Dark Souls 3, so expect lots and lots of spoilers. Also, Paddy confesses his favorite game of all time is Lords of the Fallen! :o If you’d like to come onto the podcast and chat, send me an email to dguspodast@gmail.com with your Souls story, and we’ll see about making it happen.
