Hello skeletons! This week's guest is Jay Gills, a game designer that works on World of Warfcraft and more importantly: a big Dark Souls fan. We spend a lot of time discussing the magic that is DS1, and then branch out to some of the other games. There is some discussion of Sekiro, including some late boss names, but there aren't any plot spoilers. Enjoy the episode everyone!

Hello skeletons! This week's guest is Alexander, a friend of mind from the Duckfeed Slack. We sit down and discuss his journey through the Souls series, going on some unique side paths like "what's the deal with parrying" and "how to be the only person in your town that knows what Demon's Souls is." It's a good one, so enjoy!

Hello skellies! This week's gues is Joel Corelitz, a video game composer and huge Souls fan. We sat down early on a Sunday morning to talk about his journey through these games, starting with a rough start and ending with, well, him appearing on this podcast because he's into the games that much! Be sure to stay after the credits for a song he wrote from the game Gorogoa (which is gorgeous and you should all play it immediately), and check out the links for more of his work.

This week's guest is Chris, a Dark Souls Dad and lover of all things Souls. We chat about all the various games, we solve the question of whether or not video games are art, and rave about how much fun it is to play Souls with other people. It's a good one, folks, so enjoy.

Today is a very special episode! For a long time now, the idea of doing a "Dark Souls Widows" podcast, where I would interview the partners of Souls addicts who aren't as much into the games to get their perspective on the series. This is almost that, but instead of me interviewing a guest, I asked my wife to host the show and interview a special guest: Laura Stardust! That's right, we got the star of Paddy Does a OneBro to come onto the show and talk about her view of the series. Enjoy!
