What do you get when you combine Italian mafia with a heart eating entity from the void depths of the universe, The Darkness obviously. This episode, we immerse ourselves in the origins, the history, the story, and the mechanics of the cult classic game, The Darkness. It's a wild ride of a game with more somber moments than you'd expect, wrapped up in Italian mafia lingo and rapid-firing pistols. Take a dive with us into The Darkness. We promise you it doesn't bite....if you are Jacky Estacado that is.
