  • Dark Souls 2 – Livestream Playthrough

    Dark Souls 2, known as the black sheep of the series, is what brought me back to streaming after a long absence 10 years ago. I had just bought a new computer with my brother and decided to stream with him providing commentary over my shoulder. We ended up getting a few hundred viewers and its stuck in my head ever since. We only made it to the Flexile Sentry back then, but it left an indelible mark.

    Fast forward nearly a decade and viewers on my Youtube channel voted for me to stream Dark Souls 2 as my next game after completing Odallus: the Dark Call. What started as a failed experiment at getting a head start on the game turned into a mix of my bread and butter strategy of smacking things hard and trying out hexes for the first time.

    We ran through most of the game quickly once we were able to upgrade my Scimitar and eventually graduate to a Halberd. For the bosses or areas that gave me trouble, I would try to cheese them with Dark Fog. Eventually, I ran into trouble with the last two bosses until realizing that I had played the rest of the game hollowed and could just summon a phantom to help me out.

    Finally, Nashandra kicked me in the groin for 5 hours until I upgraded my S-ranked named Rapier and ran the “standard” build for Dark Souls 2 to beat the last boss and put an end to the base game. I’ll eventually return to beat the DLC bosses, but until then I’ll be playing something from the Dominus Collection.

  • Castlevania Dominus Collection: Dawn of Sorrow Playthrough

    I grew up playing alongside the Nintendo DS and now have built in nostalgia for playing through the DS-vanias as a kid. Although emulation has been readily available for a long time, the Dominus Collection offers fans a way to enjoy the three games on newer consoles and PC with a clean presentation and without the hassle of hunting down roms.

    After playing though Odallus: the Dark Call, it felt appropriate to jump straight into the series that inspired it. Dawn of Sorrow may be my favorite of the DS Castlevania, so I chose to playthrough it first before giving my viewers and opportunity to vote on what game I should play next. Turns out, they wanted Dark Souls 2!

    Well, too bad! It only took me approximately 11 hours and 28 minutes to beat Dawn of Sorrow, breaks and all. I think I can be forgiven for getting a little ahead of myself.

    If you missed the excitement live, you can always watch the livestream VODs above.
