I was trying to think of what would even count as a modern counterpart and I feel like you could make the argument that Hundreds of Beavers makes the most sense for a double feature.

Yes I realize one is horror and one is comedy, but I'm being completely serious.

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.

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!

Yesss. Happy to hear that someone else appreciates it! I actually learned about this game because some friends wanted to cover music from it way back. I think we recorded this in 2006!

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.

Being hacked wasn't a legitimate complaint until youtuber illusory wall, a Real Gamer™, brought it up? Or something?

Having a hard time following this one!

Oof. 😢

Yuuup found myself in a crowd pic at a Magfest, where I don't even remember having seen them and assumed it would've only been at NY or Philly shows instead. 💀

But also my memory is bad and everything is a blur.

This was the closest they could get.

There's also an actual physical candle in there as well. So it's like an entire candle gets glued to the top of your head when you dunk it in there... I guess.

I just noticed that the wax head of Dark Souls 3 has its candle wick texture not cropped/ transparencied correctly, surrounded by a black rectangle.

My immersion has been ruined! Pre-order canceled, etc.

This other transforming beast guy might've been a bad influence on that cart.

Debating which mask to wear tonight.

Leaning towards pug cause a lot of kids found it funny last year. But also check out this dumbass, completely non-threatening werewolf.

Shout out to the Famicom version's box art. They like... actually made a model of the character and photographed it? Weird amount of effort tbh.
October 28, 2025 at 12:03 PM
The box/ cartridge art is no less ridiculous.

Just busting right out of the cartridge!

Fun fact: Not only is this the ending to a real NES game, but the game it's from has some of my favorite tom samples in NES music.

I ripped those samples & you can hear them in (most?) of my Dark Souls Dissected chiptune intros.

Find me better 1-bit toms; Just listen to this.

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!

What I wanna know is if anyone has ever done a MIDI cover of Midir's theme and titled it "MIDIr".

Stoning people to death for being gay was "god's perfect law" according to him.

Also did a smarmy "just saying" when bringing it up. Disgusting monster he was.

There are citations here linking back to a video on twitter.

Dunno how many people actually use restricted mode so I can't be certain how it'll impact viewership, but half of my videos are considered potentially mature and disappear from youtube with restricted mode on.

Red slashed ones are the ones that are removed, of course.

hmm maybe they're growing me
