Hey all, just wanted to create a dedicated blog for my Extra Life stream. Goal this year is to get to know the GB community (or any donors who want to call-in). I'll be hosting a call in show where I get to know GB community members about their gaming lifestyle, history, and GB in general. Donations bump duders up the queue. If possible, we'd co-op one of their favorite games or at least have m...
That’s it. We’re doing it. Yup. No more waiting. I’m getting this out of the way and it has been a long time coming. What exactly are we doing? We’re finishing my Dark Souls blog! You know.. the game I finished over a year ago? I think I have to explain myself a bit, so here goes. Last year I was streaming my first full run of Dark Souls and writing a blog, with highlights and death compilation...
Hey guys, so I just bought the Steam Link and the first task I knew I had to do was run some tests, and share my experience with you all. I remember there were a lot of people wanting to know how well it performed in all sorts of conditions. Before we start, here are my PC and network specifications and then let's get into it. If there is more information on my setup you'd like added or if you...
Well well well, what do we have here? A new blog entry! That's what! In the last blog we talked about our run through the Catacombs and the Tomb of the Giants. I defeated Nito and called it a night. That axe I've been grinding, the hatchet I buried? Well I dug it up and framed it. What we learned from all this is that sometimes, you just need to get to your objective and do it, and forget all t...
What a season, what a season! We keep trudging forward and we keep taking down bosses. In the past two sessions, I have come across a couple of bosses that are arguably well known to even the gaming community members that have not touched a souls game. Last session we beat Orstein and Smough, and this time we came across Nito. More on that later. I'm going to keep this blog post concise. First...
Whoo! It's been a while. I've been busy with stuff and DOTA2 keeps sucking me in further and further with this Battle Pass they have going on. But I managed to get some good ass Dark Souls in and I've been putting off getting this blog and these videos together. It was definitely a frustrating and exciting couple sessions. The first was a short one followed by a longgggg session a few days afte...
Hey guys! I'm back again and ready to impart my inexperienced wisdom on you, or whatever it is I have in me. Ahem, moving on. If you haven't been keeping up with the blog, we're playing Dark Souls all the way through for the first time. I've played once back in the day but I brute forced through a wrong path, and eventually had to stop playing because life got really busy. No matter, I'm well w...
Ah, Dark Souls, just when I think I have you figured out, you go and do.. something. We're talking Day 5 here of my first full run of Dark Souls . If you haven't been keeping up, let me get you caught up. Inspired by recent Dark Souls talk and all of the Bloodbourne in 2015, I've decided to play Dark Souls after I had to give it up my first time because life just got busy. I saw a lot of people...
I'm going to keep this one nice and short. No really, I meant it, so that's it for the introduction. So let's recap the lessons we've learned so far from Dark Souls. Lesson #1: Expect the unexpected . Lesson #2: Maintain your composure and always be aware of your surroundings . Lesson #3: Analyze your enemy . Lesson #4: Sometimes the best defense is a good (and smart) offense . Lesson #5: Do no...
Another two days are in the books for my first full Dark Souls run and I'm here to tell you all about it! Our last day left us off at the blacksmith after we managed to ring the first bell. We didn't die too much that day but days two and three turned out a little different. Dark Souls started showing its true colors and challenge but we managed to make the best of our situations and power thro...
Background The past year brought us a lot of great games and has led some people calling it one of the greatest years in gaming. One of the games it brought us was Bloodborne and I had no intention of playing it. For whatever reason, the Bloodborne aesthetic did not capture me like it did so many others but it did something else. It reminded me of my past Dark Souls experience. A frustrating on...
It wasn't long ago that I had played Dark Souls. My experience was very mixed. I bought the game knowing that it was going to be a challenge and I remember telling the clerk at Gamespot "I'm ready to bang my head against a wall." Well, I was kind of ready. I went into the game without reading about any of the mechanics because I heard part of the experience was learning about that. At the creat...
