I Love Dark Souls so Here’s a Really Long Review and Analysis About It
I've been writing about Dark Souls for nearly a year and this is the end result. I could ramble about the games design, lore, and aesthetic for hours on end and that is exactly what I ended up doing here with this comprehensive review and analysis of my favorite game ever. Hope you enjoy this long winded video filled with, rats, covenants, and quite a bit of Gwyndolin.

Here is the covenant video I somehow forgot to add to this supercut:

The End of Dark Souls
Просмотров 9 тыс.Месяц назад
Gwyn, Lord of Cinder, is the final boss of Dark Souls and the one responsible for the tragic state of the game's world. The finale to Dark Souls is one of the most memorable moments of any game and for good reason; it is fantastic. It has been such a joy to talk about Dark Souls and it is the best narrative I have ever experienced in a game. #darksouls #darksoulsremastered
The Lost Potential of Lost Izalith
Просмотров 161 тыс.Месяц назад
Alright, I have put it off long enough, it is time that I finally talk about Lost Izalith. I’ve waited so long to talk about this because it is home to some of the most depressing narrative moments while also being a horribly designed area. I don’t like being too negative but that is damn near impossible to do when talking about this clearly rushed and unfinished section of Dark Souls. But if y...
Dark Souls Covenants are the best
Просмотров 9 тыс.2 месяца назад
At its core, Dark Souls is a game about the need for humanity to reach out and make a connection. So it only makes sense that its multiplayer aspects are not only a ton of fun but also a beautiful translation of this game’s message. Despite a majority of the covenants in this game being pvp oriented they all find ways to have their own unique qualities and they also intersect with each other in...
Why this is my favorite moment from Breaking Bad
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.2 месяца назад
Breaking Bad probably needs know introduction. But there is one moment I have always been particularly fond of and it was right at the start of the series in the Pilot episode. The matches in the pool scene is my absolute favorite scene in the show because of how simple it is and how effective it is at humanizing Walter White. In television series filled with extravagant action scenes, it is th...
How One Line Perfectly Sums Up Dune
Просмотров 14 тыс.3 месяца назад
"Lead them to paradise" is a line that has stuck with me and many other audience members. It is a line that perfectly encapsulates the themes of Frank Herbert's Dune. The story of Paul Atriedes and the Fremen is a tragedy because we see the beauty and the love they have for the world become twisted by prophecy and war. Denis Villeneuve is able to perfectly bring this tragedy to life and through...
The Beast Rabban | Rage Is A Mask
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.3 месяца назад
I've been going through a bit of a Dune Obsession and one performance I can't stop thinking about is Dave Bautista's performance as Glossu Rabban. The Beast Rabban is almost cartoonishly angry but underneath all that rage is a fragile man. I think his performance highlights the self destructive nature of the Harkonnens masterfully. #dune
An Artorias of the Abyss Retrospective
Просмотров 17 тыс.3 месяца назад
Over the years, From Software has gained quite the reputation in regards to their dlc’s for their stellar games and it all started back here with Dark Souls. This DLC offers some of the best boss fights in the entire game with the Sanctuary Guardian, Artorias, Kalameet, and Manus. Artorias of the Abyss is an incredible experience and although it is often regarded as just a boss rush I have real...
The Truth About the Ending of The Sopranos
Просмотров 1 тыс.3 месяца назад
The Sopranos probably has the most iconic ending in the history of television. It was an ending that shocked just about everyone who watched it. It is a polarizing moment in the series with many people unsatisfied with it while others view it as a fitting end to such a foundational show. I am among the crowd that enjoys this ending and I believe it to be the perfect conclusion to Tony Sopranos ...
A Deep Dive Into New Londo | Dark Souls Analysis
Просмотров 13 тыс.4 месяца назад
New Londo ruins is one of the most somber locations in any of the From Software games. It is also home to some of the most frustrating design choices in Dark Souls. But I believe that the great parts of New Londo Ruins outshine the bad parts of it. I want to examine this corner of Dark Souls and its surrounding quest that will take you into Darkroot Garden in search of Artorias the Abysswalker....
A Review of The Sopranos: Road to Respect
Просмотров 2 тыс.4 месяца назад
The Sopranos: Road to Respect is a tv tie-in game for the playstation 2. It was developed by 7-studios and published by THQ. THQ has quite the reputation of publishing licensed games and I find Road to Respect to be one of the most interesting. It follows the story of Joey Larocca and his journey toward becoming a made man. This game is faithful to the show in a lot of great ways but it is prim...
I Have Become Obsessed With Dune
Просмотров 4,3 тыс.4 месяца назад
I cannot stop thinking about Dune Part 2 ever since I stepped out of the theater. I've got so much to say about it and I just felt like rambling just so I could get it off my chest. This is one of the greatest adaptations I've ever seen and as a fan of the book I love what they did here. Denis Villeneuve is one of my favorite directors ever and he is truly one of the best filmmakers of our time...
The Coldest Moment in The Sopranos
Просмотров 15 тыс.4 месяца назад
Tony Blundetto was a character I initially rooted for back when I first started watching The Sopranos. I genuinely thought he was going to change for the better but then he took away any hope of that so quickly. His actions created so much tension between the two families and his close relationship with Tony Soprano wasn't enough to protect him. That Animal Blundetto's final scene is one that s...
Tenet is the Best Mess
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Tenet is a pretty divisive Christopher Nolan film. It goes against so much of what we expect from a good action film. It is full of exposition and so many disorienting plot threads but that disorientation is part of why I love the film. It is an incredibly satisfying film to watch and it feels like it is built around each audience member having their own clicking moment. It also has an absolute...
Why Did Phil Turn Into A House
Просмотров 17 тыс.5 месяцев назад
The Sopranos is a show filled with many surprises. Mobsters in therapy, FBI Informants, but the thing that might surprise the audience the most is the show's exploration of the supernatural. In his arc of the final season, we witness Phil becomes something more than human. This is the closest The Sopranos gets to horror. #soprano

    Did Phil get his first taste of being a house when he turned into a closet? I feel that was the tipping point for his character.

    I think caelid is the izalith we truly lost. Think about it, izalith was originally supposed to be an infernal swam. The red exploding aeonian geysers, izalith getting changed to a literal inferno. I really believe Miyazaki held onto the idea until elden ring to make up for what was lost

  • @sulphurspanic26
    @sulphurspanic26 20 часов назад

    Don't worry, that's not Havel. Havel's been the victim of mistranslation, he's not called a bishop in the Japanese version and instead he has clerics that follow him and use Havel rings and stone armor to mimic him, the Havel's items should have probably has the apostrophe s removed as well. So Havel is another god, and judging by Dark Souls 3, since the faith in him hasn't wavered he's probably still around by the end of the trilogy, just off screen.

    Okay I don't want this to come out wrong but the gate in Church after the dragon you said it's not too satisfying to come up to this gate, especially cuz I have no real need for it now or something really close to that. But what is really satisfying about that gate is trying to run at it and at one time getting through and then it's slamming down and killing the pig. Then you grab your key. Open it back up and happily die knowing that that challenge is done cuz there's like 15 guys on your right now

    - Half of the game if unfinished - extremely clincky - graphics are way too bad, even for games at that time. Ds1 is not even close to a masterpiece, but people love it because it was special at the time and a way to annoy others that you player souls games before you're friend who love Elden ring.

Would you consider doing the same for other Fromsoft games? Bloodborne, Sekiro, or DS3 could be hype
