Don't Give Up Skeleton: A Dark Souls and Bloodborne Podcast

This week’s guest is Trey, a friend of mind from the Duckfeed.tv community (take a drink!). Trey and I got to meet in person during a live Watch Out For Fireballs in Austin, TX. Him and I sat down a bit after that and recorded this episode, in which we talk about his backwards journey through the Souls series. We go all over the place in this one, folks. Be sure to stay tuned after the credits to hear some of Trey’s band, Handsome Ransom.

This week’s guest is James Carter from the Cane & Rinse podcast. James is one of those people (like myself) that can’t stop talking about the Souls games once he gets started. James and I go through all of the games, but sort of bounce all around instead of going straight through them. It’s a fun cast, and I think you’ll enjoy it.

I’m very happy to Josh Garrity on the podcast this week! Josh is a host on the incredible Cane & Rinse podcast. Josh and I spend a good 20-25 minutes talking about games in general before getting into the Souls games, but I think y’all will enjoy it anyway.

Quick note: there are some audio issues on this one. I tried to edit around them as best I could, but when you’re recording from 3000 miles away things can happen. Also, right after this Josh found out his mic was dying! So we were in DOUBLE TROUBLE! Oh no!

As one quarter of the Chomp Chain Podcast, Dylan knows games. We sit down and talk about his history with the Souls games, and I think you’ll enjoy the story. We also get into other games like Skyrim, Metal Gear Solid, and Portal. Dylan is also a musician, so stay tuned after the show to hear one of his songs. It’s really good!

Today’s guest is Chris Mosher, a friend from Twitter and podcast buddy. Chris is a BIG Dark Souls fan, and we get into just about everything you’d want out of your typical DGUS episode (except for The Old Hunters, which he hasn’t played, so I kicked him off the cast). Chris is a blast to talk to, and his enthusiasm for the Souls games is infectious. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that he inspires a few people to go back to DS1 after this comes out.

We’re back! This week’s guest is VaderVanOdin, my podcast buddy from Dark Insight. We get all into Vader’s Souls history, including his brother being a bit of a back seat driver on Demon’s Souls. It’s always a blast sitting down and talking to Vader; he’s literally the nicest man in podcasting.

Fair warning: when this was recorded I was still using Zencastr, and there are a few parts where the VOIP connection broke down and Vader turns into a robot (queue all of your funny Star Wars jokes). It’s not terrible, but it wasn’t something I could edit around. Sorry about that!

Cliff is the founding member of Dark Insight, an international gaming podcast. I’m also on Dark Insight, which made this whole thing really easy to book. Cliff talks about his backwards journey through the Souls games, and overall it’s just a fun convo about the Series. Enjoy!

It’s that time again, y’all: another episode of Don’t Give Up, Skeleton is here! This week’s guest is Joan, who I met during the 2016 Duckstream event. She helped me with some Darkest Dungeon advice, and then started hanging out in the Duckfeed Slack, and before I knew it we were chatting bout Souls games on the mic. Joan and I talk about most of the Souls games, and have eerily similar starting builds for some of the games.

You can find Joan on the Duckfeed Slack as WrenchWitch, or

When I started Don’t Give Up, Skeleton, I did so with the aim of finding people that don’t have a voice in the community already. I wanted to get to people that didn’t already have YouTube channels or podcasts, but I’d be lying if I didn’t hope doing the show would give me the opportunity to interview some of the people that were popular in the community. So when the opportunity came up to chat with Dave Klein, I jumped at it.

Dave and I start out with some old school FROM Software games and then make out way through all of the Souls games, talking about everything from music to finding lore to making sure that first playthrough is something special. I think you’ll enjoy it, listeners!
