In the last post, I was talking more about Dark Souls than about whether I was the target audience or not for the FromSoft games. So let’s get back to that debate because it intrigues me on many different levels. I love the games, but am terrible at them. I prefer the Souls games/Elden Ring… Continue Reading
In the last post, I was talking about my love/hate relationship with FromSoft games, heavy on the love and light on the hate. I think I would say it’s not even hate–it’s more frustration. Krupa from RKG has said several times taht he does not play the game for the difficluties; in fact, he’s quite… Continue Reading
In the last post, I talked about whether or not I was actually good at FromSoft games. In doing so, I neglected to say that I was terrible at the first Dark Souls when I started playing it. You have to understand that I was fairly new to video games. The first ‘hardcore’ game I… Continue Reading

And to be clear, I adore Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. I 1001%ed it, and then played a run a day… Continue Reading
Ed. Note: I’m so close to the end, I can taste it. I want to write more about my frustrations with the game, but also just update how far I am in the game. Spoilers. Some. Maybe? Probably. Be forewarned. We’ve reached #5 on the list, but I want to revisit #4 for a minute. Right… Continue Reading
*BONUS POST* Ed. Note: More boss talk. More spoilers. All gold. The last we met, I was dancing with the devil, otherwise known as the Guardian Ape, phase two. In this phase, it felt as if I were dancing with the boss rather than fighting him. In fact, he reminded me of a… Continue Reading
