What is Deracine? [New Game by FROM Software]

Déraciné received a woefully low amount of coverage out of E3, so I thought I would make a video trying to do it justice.

There are some promising aspects to this game that you may not have considered!

(thanks for supporting my patreon so I can afford a PSVR to play one game, lul)

[EARLY ACCESS DRAFT] What is Deracine?

Hey all!

Before I head to bed, I wanted to quickly upload my current draft of a video discussing Deracine. 

The full version will have tighter editing and better visualisation of some of the folklore I talk about halfway through..so if you're really interested, consider waiting for the public release in a day or so. 

The folklore was a lot of fun to dive into, and I recommend you do some of your own reading on Celtic folklore if you're interested. 

Thank you, a...

A Story Breakdown of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

There is a ton of story information that ONLY featured on the Japanese Sekiro website. 

This video brings us all up to speed. 

Remember that $3 patrons get to see videos early! I noticed only about ~50 of you saw this video 24hrs before official release, and I felt I should remind some of you about that reward.

I should be doing a stream or two in the coming week - i've come to miss chatting with you all :)

[EARLY ACCESS] A Story Breakdown of Sekiro

Hey all, 

It's 2am here, but I managed to get a draft rendered for you guys! I haven't checked it over and it's likely full of small mistakes, but if you're super keen to learn about Sekiro's story..give it a watch.

The polished version should go live in ~20hrs.

I sleep now.

Thank you for patroning me

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice isn't really a Souls Game

 Guys..Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice isn't really a Souls Game...

..and that's okay!

It retains a ton of identity from Souls, and is abandoning some concepts in order to innovate in other areas. That's why i'm excited. 

Shortly after our first video, a ton of new info came out - and the discussion around this info definitely warrants a discussion.

Enjoy! Can't wait to read all the comments on this one - I bet there are a ton of other angles I haven't considered.  2018-06-17 07:37:48 +0000 UTC View Post

[EARLY ACCESS] Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice isn't really a Souls Game

So..this video went longer than expected! 

Sorry guys, one video wasn't enough. Shortly after E3 a ton of interviews and impressions swept out of the convention..changing a lot of what we know about Shadows Die Twice.

We've lost a lot of Souls staples..but I reckon what we gain will be better than what we've lost.

Enjoy my impressions, and i'll be back in a few days with a Story breakdown.

Thank you for being my Patrons.

A Gameplay Breakdown of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Patrons!

I hope you ($3) enjoyed the early version, but now the full version out..with a bit more polish. I pushed myself insanely hard for this one, and the draft had so many mistakes lol

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It's all scripted, I spent hours analysing, and got it out as soon as possible. I'll do my best to have a Story analysis out in 36 hours, which should be well worth a watch..there's an insane amount of fascinating detail we know already, and I think you'll be su...

[EARLY ACCESS] Gameplay Breakdown of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Here's the first upload of my Gameplay Breakdown of Sekiro.

I've been working on this for like 24hrs straight, so i'll probably wake up tomorrow and realise how badly i've edited it..but hopefully you can enjoy it for now!

Top 10 Textures in Dark Souls: Remastered!

If you're reading this as this post goes live, i'm currently streaming over at https://www.twitch.tv/vaddyvideo !

If you miss it, don't worry, I plan to stream a fair bit this week!

EDIT: Stream over. Thank you all for being there, that was probably the most fun yet!

[EARLY ACCESS] Top 10 Textures of Dark Souls: Remastered!

Okay, not really. I actually had some fun in the Remaster, and figured I should make at least one video talking about it. These are my experiences and thoughts..with a few goofs thrown in.

At the end I tease a stream..but don't be fooled: i'm not streaming now, but I will be streaming when the video goes public. I'll let you know.

I had hoped to stream today..but my PC has been crashing non-stop. I'm getting a Kernal Power Event ID 41 error..anyone know what that is? It's been happening ...

Streaming Dark Souls Remastered in 30 minutes

30 minutes from the time of this post, I'll be streaming over at twitch.tv/vaddyvideo

Going to get through as much of DS Remastered as I can.

See you there :)

Dark Souls 3 Lore ► The Warriors of Carthus

Victory, at any cost. 

The Warriors of Carthus embody that sentiment in every element of their design, and they deserve their time in the sun.

(also how cool would it have been to have a proper desert level in Dark Souls...)

Enjoy!

[[Early Access]] Dark Souls 3 Lore: The Warriors of Carthus

Hey all,

It's 3AM, and I finally completed the story of the Sand Kingdom of Carthus.

It's been a long time coming! There were a few nuances to this story that I had overlooked for the longest time, and i'm glad I could finally do it justice.

Enjoy! I can't believe i'm still able to make videos on Dark Souls 3...

Save me E3!

NOTE: This is a draft version and there might be errors! For example, I just realised the music balancing is horrible in the middle.. If ...

Dark Souls Lore ► 10 Secrets of War

A video that started as "The Great Wars of Dark Souls" ended up as this - a concise list of 10 Secrets of War from the Souls Series.

[EARLY ACCESS] Dark Souls Lore ► 10 Secrets of War

Originally this video was intended as "The Great Wars of Dark Souls", which would have gone into way more detail about the great wars in the series.

However..somehow I forgot I shouldn't make 30 minute videos. In the end, I turned that script into 3 separate videos :)

Enjoy the first of these 3 videos!

P.S. I might be streaming tomorrow, keep an eye out! Thinking of doing a Randomised Pokemon Emerald Nuzlocke run...

[EVENT OVER] The Dark Souls Quiz Starts NOW!

3. Get the questions from the stream and answer them in your browser!

A Couple of Changes

Hi all! Just wanted to announce a couple of changes. Don't worry, it should be a net positive for everyone here.

#1. In celebration of my new 40mb upload speed, I've decided to try opening up the "private livestream" reward to $1 Kindler patrons and above. It was previously a rarely used $5 reward.

Streaming is nicer with a larger audience, so we'll see how this goes!

If you have any ideas for replacement $5 rewards, let me know.

Our First Look at Dark Souls: Remastered

Ah, I wish I could have given you guys early access to this one! It's been hiding in my uploaded videos for days...

The Joint Timeline of Soulsborne

This is the video that won the Patreon "unmade videos" poll a couple months ago!

I hope I did you proud. As pointed out by some astute patrons in the early release comments - I could have also mentioned that Aldrich dreamt of the "coming Age of the Deep Sea", and that the Dragon God could have been a precursor to the Ancient Dragons.

I've got a feeling we'll get more Dark Souls: Remastered footage / news soon..so here's hoping. 

[EARLY ACCESS] The Joint Timeline of Soulsborne

Hey all! This is the video that won the "unmade soulsborne videos" poll, according to your votes. 

It ended up being fairly tricky to make, as I had to really disregard my desire to present counter evidence..as there's a lot of counter evidence, haha.

That said, the transitions between the games are surprisingly easy to argue for. I hope you enjoy, as this ended up being a pretty curious experiement.

I'm heartened that you're all here, as always. See you next time :)

What We Want From Dark Souls: Remastered

The past few days i've been playing this fantastic fan-made "remake" of DSI that moves around enemies and items. 

I really wanted to make a video on it! https://youtu.be/knvs2BK7k2g 

You can also download the mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls/mods/1372/

Next video is the joint timeline, sorry f...

Apologies

Hey all, I really should say sorry for the lack of content recently.

I went on a short trip, then came back with intense food poisoning which has been completely debilitating. Ive barely been able to sit at my PC for the last few days.

All of this coupled with an ambitious Bloodborne project has been taking its toll!

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm feeling as inspired as ever to keep creating, and that I'm really excited for what the future holds.

Thanks fo...

The Cut Content of Bloodborne

The cut content gives us some great insight into original ideas for the game. When it comes to understanding Bloodborne, we need to take every piece of extra information we can get.

[EARLY ACCESS] The Cut Content of Bloodborne

Sending this one out a bit early :)

I haven't gone through this on YT yet, hopefully there are no mistakes. Got hit with a killer fever towards the end of this edit, and i'm definitely struggling to focus right now o.O

Hope you're all well. Should have another video out this week..hopefully. 

P.S. The secret Bloodborne project looks amazing and I can't wait to share it

Introducing Dark Souls: Remastered (and some Shadows Die Twice revelations)

Okay, I couldn't help but gush about Dark Souls: Remastered a little bit.

Sorry for the delay in content, I got pretty sick over new years. Should be able to smash out a new video soon.

So excited to play this again with you all. Thinking of streaming it publicly, if not just to you guys.

The "Dark Souls of" Awards [2017]

Hey all,

I don't get many chances to talk about all the other games I played this year, and I figured this was the best way to do it! An arbitrary awards show featuring 5 categories featuring all the games I loved, and loved to hate.

I really needed to get this out of my head before starting 2018.

P.S. It was super difficult working on this towards the end, as I really want to make that Soulsborne Universe video, and a video on all the Bloodborne Cut Content...

[Discord Movie Night] - Theme: Christmas Nostalgia

 It's time for another Discord movie night! This time, the theme is "Christmas Nostalgia", and we've taken a number of suggestions that are listed below. Please watch their trailers, and vote on which one you'd like to see.

Movie Night will be held on the 18th December, 12pm AEST (visit http://bit.ly/2B8W5LS to check your time zone). We will be streaming and chatting about the movie over at 2017-12-11 05:23:11 +0000 UTC View Post

A Breakdown of Shadows Die Twice [New Game by FROM Software]

Hey all!

24 hours later, here's your breakdown of Shadows Die Twice - the new game teaser by FROM Software.

Pulled an all nighter with this one..and surprised that I can still edit and narrate while completely delirous. It goes without saying that i'm super excited about this..I think that sustained me.

What are your thoughts? I always read your Patreon messages, so let me know :)

The Poll for the Unmade Soulsborne Videos of 2017 has concluded, and the winner is...

"The Shared Timeline of Soulsborne"!

Great choice :) Between you and me, I was rooting for this video..but had to resist making that known for fear of skewing the votes. I'm looking forward to making it.

Regardless of the truth behind it, the "shared timeline" theories will be really exciting to dive into. Naturally it will all be about beginnings and endings - what came before the events of this story? What logically happens after? These are great questions, because they force us to tak...

Which video should I resurrect?

Recently I put out a video titled "The Unmade Soulsborne Videos of 2017", which teased a number of ideas that fell to the wayside. Here's the link if you missed it: https://youtu.be/hVx_9VF6VcQ

These videos may never grace YouTube..but that's where you come in! Vote on which video you'd love to see, and i'll pull it out of the graveyard.

I'll probably end this poll as soon as votes stop coming in. 

Also, welc...
