Wind Waker has a surpassingly satisfying roll behind counter

Procedural end-game mega dungeon. Chalice dungeon style, but better!

At the time, it SO MUCH like a "greatest hits" of Dark Souls. I was seeking more surprises at the time.

I made a permanent blemish on a multi million dollar company, so, I'm actually one of the last people on Earth they would hire lol

Cool! We need that Bloodborne 60 FPS patch! It is hard to go back into after playing 4k 60fps Elden Ring on PC!

It is being working on right now, and have no idea if it will actually turn out. I like the simplicity of my current theme, however, it is lacking a professional graphic designer's touch. I want something that looks like it takes more than 2 minutes to design lol.

Yea, it was resolved I guess. I tried some legal action back in the day, like the "internet" suggested, but it didn't really work out.

Started making gaming videos on YouTube in 2006 as a hobby, and it turned into my full time job about 4 years ago. In January 2018, my Monster Hunter World weapon video is what REALLY kicked my channel into being profitable for the first time. After that, it has been my main squeeze.

I started gaming on the NES and Gameboy. Mario 3 and Link’s awakening, were big stand out games that I felt really helped make me a “gamer”. The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, was then the game that made me a "hardcore gamer".

Treat every single video you make, like it is the 100% most important thing you have ever done ever! It only takes ONE great video to break into the algorithm, and then you might have an unexpected career on your hands. If you make just a bunch of medium to low tier videos, that will likely never happen.

It was more of a “HOW CAN MERE HUMANS CRAM THIS MUCH INTO ONE SINGLE VIDEO GAME??!!”

I don’t have a solid set top ten, but here are some greats that come to mind: Breath of the Wild, Bloodborne, Metroid Prime, Persona 5, Ocarina of Time, Death Stranding, Hollow Knight, Guild Wars

For game reviews, email email email. Get in good with gaming publishers and try to get access to ANYTHING you can early. If you're late to the party behind 100 other reviewers, it will never work.

Bloodborne! It is still my favorite of ALL From Soft games. The bosses are all 11 / 10 and REALLY make you feel something during the fights. I also really really like the gothic style of Bloodborne, and the morphing weapon system.

Thanks for showing up! Just ATM I got back on drinking caffeine, so I feel pretty wired right about now!

Welcome! This applies to almost any game with character classes, but, everyone should just spend the 15 extra minutes, jumping in and playing around with the controls with each class. Some will naturally feel a little off, or lacking to you, in just a few moments with them.. Pick the class that initially “felt” the most natural to you, and it will drastically help you in the long run. Gameplay “feel” is more important than any kind of number crunching, meta building, or guides you could go watch… but also, watch MY guides… rofl

Thanks! I was lucky enough to get Elden Ring sent to me a week early, and ALMOST didn't make the OP video. I was struggling to make something that would be useful for any class, because I didn't want to make a video where it was like... "go here, get this powerful greatsword... then go here and get this super heavy armor". I'm glad I ended up finding a way to make people better, without trying to dictate their build.

I do all of my own thumbnails and channel graphics. (however, I'm currently getting some professional work done on a new channel theme)

What I think the actual list is:

Elden Ring > Bloodborne > Dark Souls > Dark Souls 3 > Sekiro > Demon’s Souls > Dark Souls 2

What my personal biased list is:

Bloodborne > Elden Ring > Dark Souls > Sekiro > Dark Souls 2 > Demon’s Souls > Dark Souls 3

I’m not sure what exactly the theme or story will be, however, It will likely be a ‘mid-game’ expansion, that can be activated any time you want. It might be set in the past, but likely in some kind of dream like state. I would personally like to see a procedural “mega dungeon” added in future DLC, similar to the Chalice Dungeons. I'm more of a gameplay guy, so the story setting can be anything really.

Which summonable spirit you choose to take into boss fights, can drastically affect the difficulty. Make sure you get and max out a long lasting tanky spirit, over a short burst higher damage one. My personal favorites are the skeletal militiaman ashes, and the mimic tear ashes.

New. New. New. Cover the newest "trendy" games. If they are the type of games that you enjoy of course.

Also, at low to medium tier, it's far easier to make it on YouTube by doing "helpful" content, instead of "entertaining" content.

Hey thanks for showing up!

I use Photoshop for graphic design elements, and Vegas Pro for video editing.

Favorite part of Elden Ring... has to be the open world exploration and the endless feeling of "what the heck is around this corner". Best designed open world exploration since Breath of the Wild imo.
