After 4 years of making only one video about Dark Souls 3 and then not turning it properly into a series, today I'm righting that wrong!
Dark Souls 3 Dissected is back with a brand new episode about its Invisible Walls and weird collisions!

I haven't gotten as much practice time in as I'd like yet, but being able to set up drums after many years of not having that options is great.
I got these little woodblocks as a Christmas present and here's the first thing groove that came to mind for some reason. Enjoy the terrible audio.

Keith put Fire N Ice (NES) in the A tier of games he played this year!
I cannot praise it enough, one of the most underrated and best-aged NES games.
If NES games aren't your usual speed, this is one still worth playing in 2025. You'll like it if you like puzzle games without time limits/pressure.

Digging through ancient files I also found this silly Kokiri Forest cover from Zelda OoT. Dunno why I even made it in the first place, I think a friend wanted me to do it.
For this one I actually have the original file, another 13 yr old creation here! Arranged with NES + Amiga samples in modplug.

Digging through some old files, I found a chiptune VGM cover I completely forgot about! All the way back from 2008.
This is Player Phase 1 from Warsong/ Langrisser. A Sega Genesis tune I covered using NES + Amiga samples (not adhering to any system limitations, made in modplug).
Kinda goes hard!

I'm going to be joining Zullie for some Nightreign live shortly! I share the link once it's ready.
The current plan for next stream is this Sunday at noon CST.
Past that, I'm considering what games I might want to stream outside FromSoftware titles, and also that I'll probably want to stream more than once a week, if my voice can withstand it, but I'm unsure of specifics yet.

The planking t-pose of the skeleton beast is so good
Nervous about scheduling another mini-mod on patreon and not being able to make it, so instead I uploaded my collection of one hundred plus T-posing characters from Dark Souls.

I thought it was going to take my next video to get me to 225k subscribers, but it just kind of happened on its own in the down time between videos. Cool!

Demon's Souls datamining: Engorged Mosquitos
Mosquitos have a grab attack, where they drink your blood and engorge themselves.
While engorged, they no longer perform physical attacks, and their blood projectile attack becomes stronger. Notably, Poison inflicted by it deals 2x damage per tick!

Fillmore by Yuzo Koshiro is an SNES VGM classic.
If you had to pick any SNES/ SFC tune that'd fit perfectly into a Castlevania game, this is probably the top contender.

This reminds me of when Ann Reardon made a video that very likely saved lives, but then it was taken down for talking about a dangerous activity.
But the whole damn point was that it was a PSA on WHY a viral trend/ activity wasn't safe and why you absolutely shouldn't do it.
