Episode 151: Danny O'Dwyer Nov 14, 2018

Show notes

Hey folks! This week's guest is Danny O'Dwyer, a name you may already know if you pay attention to video games at all. Danny worked at Gamespot for years, and is now running a crowd-funded video game documentary series called Noclip. I have links to my favorite eps of that in the show notes, but I'm going to reinforce it here: the video on Warframe is extremely good, and worth your time even if you've never played or heard of the game. Danny was nice enough to sit down and talk about his unique experience playing the game in this extra long episode, and I KNOW you are going to enjoy it.

Special thanks to AllisonByProxy for putting this bug in Danny's ear, and thanks of course to Danny for agreeing to be on the show.

Episode 150: Johannes (Immortal:Unchained) Nov 07, 2018

Show notes

Hello everyone! This episode is quite a bit different from the usual. Recently, I was introduced to a game called Immortal:Unchained. I believe I've mentioned it on one or two episodes of this podcast, and if you've been following me, or Twin Humanitities, or SenPlus on Twitter, then you probably saw us talking about it. I was struck at how many Demon's Souls/Dark Souls vibes the game was giving me, so I wrote to the developer and asked if any of their staff had played the games, and if so, would they be willing to come onto the show and talk about their experiences. I was very surprised and delighted when they got me in touch with Johannes, the Lead Level Designer for Toadman. We sat down and talked all about Immortal, and just a little bit about Dark Souls and how it relates to the game. Forgive me for geeking out a bit, I was pretty excited! I hope you enjoy this as something a bit different from the normal Don't Give Up, Skeleton episodes. Thanks for listening everyone!

Episode 147: Kat Oct 17, 2018

Show notes

Hello folks! This week's guest is the extremely nice Kat, who came to video games late but has really embraced them. Her first Souls game was Bloodborne, but she's played almost all of them (when are we getting that PS4 Demon's, Sony?) since then, and done some extremely hard challenge runs since. Check out her Twitch and YouTube to watch some of those. Enjoy!

Episode 143: Astral Lace Sep 19, 2018

Show notes

Hello folks! This week's guest is Astral Lace, who I met through friend and previous guest, Kou. Lace has a passion for Bloodborne that I've rarely seen, and it was great being able to sit down with her and discuss how she found the games, the difficulty she had at first (which I think all of us can relate to), and why she stuck around. We also get into some DS1 and DS3! Enjoy the episode, and make sure to stay till the end to hear her song about Dark Souls.
