70 Hidden Secrets in Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro and Demon's Souls

Hey all!

These games are a gift that keeps on giving. I don't think I'll ever run out of things to talk about, and this format is great for jumping around in all the games and keeping it fresh.

This video is also an excuse to show of a piece of artwork that we've been working on for over a year now. I can't believe it's finally out. Please, buy it to support the artist. 

10 More Soulsborne Secrets for Patrons

Hey all!

Enjoy your early access on this one - it's actually been done for over a month now, I just got done putting some draft-level touches on it. 

It will be uploaded in a couple of days if we DON'T get Elden Ring news on the 8th. In case you didn't know, Xbox are doing their next-gen console game announcements, and it's possible that Elden Ring will be featured there. If it is, I'll be doing a news video on that stuff instead.

Either way, there is some amazing merch that will be available this month - I'm finally rolling out some products we've been working on for over a year now. I can't wait to show you. Remember to use the patreon-exclusive code "PATEEON" on Teespring for free shipping!

Talk to you all soon.

Never-Before-Seen Places in Dark Souls [Art Competition]

It's finally here. 

After weeks of deliberaton and editing, we've come up with the top 10 finalists and runner-ups for the "Unseen Lands" art competition. 

I hope these expand the scope of the world we all love so much.

It's your pledge that makes my payments to these artists possible. When I give the winners their earnings, I'll be thinking of you guys!

Prepare to Cry Remastered ► Siegmeyer the Adventurer

 Is someone cutting onions? oh wait no it's just a Prepare to Cry episode for Siegmeyer 

Thanks for watching all. 

Early Access for a "15 Secrets" video should be going up in the next couple of days, followed by the results from the Dark Souls: Unseen Lands art competition. Man..we had some incredible entries. Wait until you see #1. The feels..

[EARLY ACCESS] Prepare to Cry Remastered: Siegmeyer the Adventurer

Hey all,

Here's a Prepare to Cry out of nowhere! I suddenly had the inspiration to recreate this old video, as it's one of the more impactful stories, and it's only been enhanced by Siegward's tale in Dark Souls 3. 

You'll notice some little nostalgic callbacks to the original video, like the montage at the start, and some of the wording throughout.

Please let me know what you think. I may do Solaire next.

Sorry for the lack of videos. I actually have another two that are basically complete - I'm just forced to delay their upload a bit.

Talk soon!

I Played 3 Famous Dark Souls Mods

Hey all,

In case you missed it, I played 3 amazing Dark Souls mods on stream this month, and finally made a video about my experiences. These will rekindle your love of these games, and give you an excuse to dive back in.

Please enjoy and check them out if you're interested!

Another good video coming very soon, and we also have the art competition winners being revealed later this month.

Cheers <3

[Early Access] I Played 3 Famous Dark Souls Mods

Hey all,

Sorry for the quiet March - I spent a good amount of time streaming this month over at twitch.tv/vaatividya in preparation for this video.

These mods are absolutely incredible - and worth playing if you have any desire to replay these games. 

I have another secrets video that is going to be released for Early Access soon. Stay tuned! 

Here's hoping we get some Elden Ring news soon -.-

Thanks, as always, for the support.

The Best Soulsborne Content of the Decade

There's been so much incredible Soulsborne content created this past decade - I wanted to pay homage to some of it. 

My First Patreon Merch!

Hey all! I'm excited to reveal my first piece of exclusive Patreon merch - The "Golden Valkyrie" Poster, by Cbot.

It's a 12" x  18" giclée print with a matte finish, and you'll automatically receive it after three months of patronage to the "Soul of a Great Collector"  tier over on my Patreon. 

$30 is the lowest amount Patreon allows me to set for merchandise..so I fully expect this to be a very exclusive item indeed, haha. That said, I am really glad to at least have some small reward to give to those of you who pledge such generous amounts.

If this isn't for you, don't worry! I have some exciting poster designs available to all that I can't wait to announce. I'm just in the final stages of working out a quality distributor.

If you end up pledging to this tier, please let me know when you receive it, and if you are so inclined - show me a photo of it framed and hanging in your room! I would get such a kick out of that, and I want to know if you're satisfied with the product.

Cheers guys

The Unseen Lands of Dark Souls | $1750 Art Competition

The Dark Souls series has ~18 lands you can read about, but never see. Let's change that! This video inspires the third art competition on this channel - a challenge to depict "The Unseen Lands of Dark Souls".

I wanted to push this one out early for patrons, but it would have given an unfair advantage for the competition. Good luck, to those of you who choose to compete!

Sekiro: Shadows Cry Twice ► Shura

Finishing up Sekiro with a "Shadows Cry Twice" featuring Shura. My content on the game is comprehensive, and I'm 99% sure this is my last major video for it!

Thank you all for your ongoing support. A lot of background projects held this video up, but I can't wait to speak about them.

[EARLY ACCESS] Sekiro: Shadows Cry Twice ► Shura

Hey all!

It's been a while. I took a short break, and followed it up with a lot of work on projects behind-the-scenes.

This video marks the end of major Sekiro content, and the start of a new year. Thank you for being here with me - I can feel 2020 is going to be a good one. 

Excited for the content to come in February :)

Talk soon

15 Amazing Secrets in Dark Souls, Bloodborne & Sekiro

Always more secrets to cover..this time mopping up all the major ones of 2019 spanning all 3 of the Soulsekiroborne titles :)

Sekiro: Shadows Cry Twice ► Blackhat Badger

Here's the fourth video in our Shadows Cry Twice series!

Man..crazy how many father-son dynamics are crammed into Sekiro.

If the script comes together - there will be one more in this series. It will feature Shura, and all the characters that demonic presence affects. 

Thanks for sticking with me, as always. See you soon! Hopefully some good stuff coming this month...

Shadows Cry Twice ► The Soul of the Ashina

We're finally out of Senpou! Into the lands of the Ashina...

Thanks for watching these - once they're done, we'll have the most comprehensive Sekiro library of content on the internet. Right in time for Elden Ring news in December...I'll probably write some community posts on ER tomorrow on YT, so keep an eye out for that. 

I hope you new $5 patrons are enjoying these dope wallpapers by Ami.fly. Uploading this one to the drive folder now. Please enjoy.

See you all again very soon!

Shadows Cry Twice ► The Children of Senpou Temple

Hey all!

This is the second episode of our Shadows Cry Twice series, with episode 3 already being out for $3 patrons. Episode 4 should be done in the coming week.

With this series, I TRULY feel like I've wrapped up the entirety of Sekiro! The lore has been explained from a factual standpoint..and an emotional one. Just in time for Elden Ring news to drop next month, hopefully..

Thanks for sticking around! See you soon.

[EARLY ACCESS] Shadows Cry Twice ► Blackhat Badger

Hey all,

Here is the third Shadows Cry Twice video that I've completed. Originally, it was paired with the Kotaro episode..but Blackhat kind of deserves his own space to breathe. 

One interesting thing that this series brings to light is the overwhelming amount of narratives with a "father/son" dynamic. It makes for some good Prepare to Cry.

Next up, and last on my list for Sekiro content - Shadows Cry Twice: Isshin - the Soul of the Ashina. 

See you then!

Sekiro: Shadows Cry Twice ► Robert & the Armored Knight

Hey all!

I actually managed to get ~3 videos complete in advance, for once. If you're looking for the next in the series, it should show up in my "posts" section of Patreon as soon as it's done.

I'll be uploading the third episode of this series within the next 24hrs, for example. 

See you soon!

[EARLY ACCESS] Shadows Cry Twice ► The Children of Senpou Temple

Hey all! Another Early access for you!

Turns out there's a lot of sadbois at Senpou Temple. I was originally going to put them all into one video, but splitting it into three made a lot more narrative sense.

Aiming to have all these done before I release them. I should have another for you tonight, then maybe a fourth soon too.

Have a great day :)

PS: my son is on my lap reaching for my keyboard and he wants to type something to you: jn 7yu8ijj6yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy    m njjjjjjm, .lllllllllllllllll)

Shadows Cry Twice: Robert & The Armored Knight

 Hey all!

I know I said I'd be taking a break from Sekiro..but I'm back sooner than expected. I really wanted to hash out a short "Shadows Cry Twice" series for some characters, and this will be the first episode.

The second episode is almost complete as well, so expect early access to that in the next couple of days.

Thank you, as always, for your support.

Prepare to Cry Remastered ► Gwyn's Light

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieve it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

[EARLY ACCESS] Prepare to Cry Remastered: Gwyn's Light

Hey all!

Here's the current draft of the upcoming Prepare to Cry: Remastered.

So much has been revealed about Gwyn's intentions and character since the original DS1 video..and I'm excited to share it with you.

Cheers for watching, and thank you for being here. 

Demon's Souls Deserves a Remaster.

Don't you agree?

[EARLY ACCESS] Demon's Souls Deserves a Remaster

Demon's Souls deserves a remaster!

You know it, I know it..Sony..might know it? Honestly I just wanted an excuse to rant about Demon's Souls again.

If you have played, let me know some of your favourite experiences in the game. If you haven't, then it's now possible to play an emulated version!

Hope you guys enjoy the chat.

Talk soon

50 Things You Missed in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

I decided that three "15 secrets" videos would have been milking it..so instead, I decided to cram them all into one long, enjoyable video. Enjoy these last secrets that Sekiro has to offer! All that's left to make for Sekiro is Prepare to Cry, in my opinion. 

Next up - a video talking about Demon's Souls..and why that incredible game deserves a remaster.
