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

What?! That’s right, this week there are TWO episodes of Don’t Give Up, Skeleton for your ears to enjoy. I decided to make this a Twin Humanities themed week and post Paddy’s episode the same day as CJ’s. This one was recorded after we had both finished Dark Souls 3, so expect lots and lots of spoilers. Also, Paddy confesses his favorite game of all time is Lords of the Fallen! :o If you’d like to come onto the podcast and chat, send me an email to [email protected] with your Souls story, and we’ll see about making it happen.

Welcome to Don’t Give Up, Skeleton Episode 13, featuring CoffeeJesus! CJ is one half of the Twin Humanities podcast, and one of the most genuinely funny guys I know. This episode was recorded in the long long ago, before Dark Souls 3 was released, so enjoy a look into what CJ and I were thinking DS3 was going to be. We didn’t even know we should complain about the lack of poise yet! If you’d like to come onto the podcast and chat, send me an email to [email protected] with your Souls story, and we’ll see about making it happen.

Welcome back to Don’t Give Up, Skeleton! Today’s guest is Ali, a man who has more hours in Souls games than anyone I’ve ever heard of. He’s also one of the most earnest people I’ve ever talked to for this podcast. It was a blast to record with him, and hopefully he’ll get to come over to the US and do his Blues Pilgrimage. That’s right, this dude lives in Kuwait but plays the Blues like a man who’s been working on the Mississippi river all his life. Stay tuned after the episode for a taste.

Episode 11 is here! Stephen is another guest from the Duckfeed community, and was a blast to sit down and talk with. There are lots of spoilers in this one, so watch out if you haven't finished DS3 or the Bloodborne DLC. Be sure to listen for some amazing Bloodborne music that was performed live.

As always, if you want to come onto the show, send me dm to @dguspodcast on twitter, or email me at [email protected]

Episode 10 is here! This week's guest is Bryan Wade, another friend from the Duckfeed.TV network. Bryan and I have known each other as "internet friends" for a few years now, and I think that comes out on this episode. We talk all sorts of Souls games, as well as a handful of other games as well. Also! There's a ~bonus~ section! Bryan was so inspired by DGUS episodes that he went back to Bloodborne and gave it another try. Listen past the closing music and credits to hear the special addendum we recorded. Enjoy!

Episode 09 is here! This week we sit down with Thomas, a very friendly Swedish man who shares my love for Karmic Justice, as well as Dark Souls in general. He tells the story of how a famous Japanese streamer got him into Souls, and what he's been doing since.

In this episode your host, Jeremy Greer, sits down with Emily B. Emily is has become a bit of a lore diver over the course of her experience with the Souls games. She tells us how she came to appreciate the lore, and shares one of her favorite stories from Dark Souls 3. If you'd like to come onto the podcast and tell YOUR story, email us at [email protected]

Hello! This week we're talking to Eltee, a friend I originally met on Something Awful, but have gotten to know closer via IRC and Twitter these last few years. We have a lot of fun talking about the Souls games, spoilers, and a ton of other things besides. I think you'll like it.

Episode 06 is here, and this week we're sitting down with the IllusoryWall. Those of you who get into the nuts and bolts of Souls mechanics already recognize the name, I'm sure. IllusoryWall likes to dig into the secrets of the Souls games, like testing Vagrant spawn points in DS1. Enjoy!

Episode 5 is here! Join your host and his friend Jon C as they talk all about Jon's first Souls game: Bloodborne! Then stay tuned for some quality audio drama as Jon talks about his first time through the Anor Londo archers.
