After 4 years of making only one video about Dark Souls 3 and then not turning it properly into a series, today I'm righting that wrong!
Dark Souls 3 Dissected is back with a brand new episode about its Invisible Walls and weird collisions!

This Goblin track is my jam. Here's a chiptune cover of it I played drums on almost 15 years ago! (damn where does the time go?)
With @nmlstyl.bsky.social on guitar!

Huh. I'd never heard of this famicom add-on before. Study box, a cassette drive used to load educational games from one of the tape channels and run recorded audio narration off the other

I had a demo of Hired Guns on the Amiga and I played the absolute hell out of it. One of my favorite games as a kid.
All of the character designs were great.

Pierce the city of rubble with hope." 🎶

This reminds me of that time in Malcom in the Middle when a character referenced "Double Dragon IV: The Sacred Stones", and I shouted at the TV "that's Double Dragon III, you IDIOT".
I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder!

Stranger Things 5: Kid plays Ghosts n' Goblins on an NES, but they're depicting gameplay from the arcade version of the game on the CRT screen, with NES audio. Illusion ruined, 0/10 show, do your damn research.

I discovered how to escape the kiln after defeating Gwyn in Dark Souls. Here's a video I made about how to do it.

I saw that line about a dad bod and immediately thought "a straight person wrote that."
Invisigal has no idea what a dad bod or a butt plug looks like and she has the gall to claim that she pegs people

I don't know how I went this long without ever having seen House (Hausu - 1977). I actually picked up the blu ray a few years ago but just got around to watching it last night.
It lived up to the hype, what a wild ride.

Dark Souls 1 datamining: bugged fear logic of the Pisaca sisters
In the Duke's Archives, there are 2 special Pisaca (internally called "Pisaca_Sisters") that are not aggressive. By default, they do not move and only cry.
However, when attacked they will begin to run away... but it's a bit bugged.

It seems like a program like DSR Gadget was never made for Dark Souls 3? Everyone just uses cheat engine to gift themselves items I'm guessing?

I expressed interest in getting my hands on more of these and the BF put this together as a Christmas present way back. Some of these are my own since childhood, some were newly-acquired.
Remember, don't copy that floppy!

Here's a takedown of Champion Gundyr at SL1! He really, really kicked my ass to get to this point.
Dark Souls 3 is the Souls game I've played the least, but I've been going back and trying some things that feel long overdue. This is my first time doing a DS3 SL1 run and it's been pretty fun so far.

Showing up in the Epstein Files because you were a thorn in the side of one of his buddies is a serious flex. Rebecca Watson has been doing great work for a long time now.

The gameplay was terrible in the Amiga version, but at least we got this Tim Follin theme!

Always loved the cowbell part at 34s in. I'm too lazy to try but someone good at imitating the Follin bros sound on NES should cover this on NES.
