Dark Souls fans are absolutely rabid when it comes to ultra greatswords. And it's hard not to see why. But aside from the eldritch knowledge of "Press R1, win game," what other hidden secrets do these weapons have? youtu.be/Wc2ZTy9S5k4?si…

Halberds are just a sword duct-taped to a stick. Prove me wrong. ...okay, that's not even close to accurate, but to be fair Dark Souls doesn't seem to know what a halberd is either. youtu.be/MbLbdoVW-oc?si…

@s1uincy I don't think Nightreign would really lend itself to weapon showcases. Would take hundreds of runs just to find the right ones 😑

@TheBacklogs Would you ever make these challenge videos on elden ring nightreign? idk if you talked about this or not😭

A wooshing noise. The after-effect of a blade swinging through the air. A sudden burst of damage. If you're looking for flowing combos, fast swings and above-average damage, have I got the weapon class for you. youtu.be/m3PD4eamtKM?si…

@c0c0_666 I think we are officially in the single digits.

@TheBacklogs How many more weapon classes are left?

High On Life 2 is all about its guns. They talk, they quip, they give you terrible advice, and they're (probably) super important to completing the game. ...so how far could you get if you didn't use them? youtu.be/rV2aN3HGwys

Thrusting swords have always been a strange beast in the Dark Souls series. So, with that said, I think it's time we gave them a look and really figured out what it is they do, what they do well, and what's holding them back. youtu.be/g5CJVjY-kM0

So it turns out, one of the boss combos that I struggled with FOR DAYS can actually be separated if you do a side quest. This is both fantastic and devastating news. youtu.be/AAWHlbQN3cA?si…

NIOH and I have a bit of a history. And by that, I mean that I tried to challenge run NIOH once, and it slapped me down so hard that I sat on my own shurikens. Not this time. youtube.com/watch?v=AAWHlb…

Once Human and I have done a lot together. We've beaten it with throwing knives, with explosives, and built an entire guildhall on it's monster-covered shores. But what if we...let the game beat itself? ...this is going to end badly, isn't it? youtube.com/watch?v=1LWyIs…

Heard of Genshin Impact? Well, if you're looking for a relatively simple look at what the game is like as a new player, look no further. Oh, and I also got to play as a Moon Goddess. Because Genshin knows what I want, apparently. youtube.com/watch?v=S-5QX3…

The greatsword is a player favorite, but what about its curved cousin? Does anyone use this thing? Why are they so slow? And why are there only three of them? youtu.be/05MLkVPH3nQ

So a lot of you were very confused with my axes video, because it left out some great axes. Okay, ALL of the great axes. And after using them, I can confirm these are definitely better than those mediocre axes we were using earlier. youtube.com/watch?v=rgjBmf…

Sweet summer child, your work has only just begun.

@MimicSouls ...huh. Okay. You have my attention.

@Wolf_2117 No idea. Haven't had fun with XCOM 2, so I'm still playing around with it to try to find the fun. If I find it, then yes.

@TheBacklogs Hi just wondering will you be doing any xcom 2 videos next year

Obligatory "No Weapons" run submitted. Good luck to anyone else in the Creativity category!

Katanas in Dark Souls 1 have always been a bit of a black sheep. Not because they're not good, but because they're TOO good. And even though katanas ARE easy, they're also REALLY fun. And that's really all that matters. youtu.be/6exgGMppack

@lichofmt_heljen Don't worry, if you press this button hard enough, it should unschtick. Might wanna consider cleaning your keyboard more often though.

@TheBacklogs ALSO APOLOGIES IF IT SOUNDED LIKE I WAS GENUINELY ANGRY ITS JUST MY *SCHTICK*!!!!!!!!!

PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR @TheBacklogs: THE DEMON GIANT BUILD IS *PAINFUL* TO CREATE!!!!!!!! THE ONLY WEAPON I CAN USE IS THE BATTLE AXE AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE I HAVE TO HAVE *9* DEX, AND EVERY OTHER WEAPON WHICH WOULD WORK THAT I HAVE ACCESS TO NEEDS 10 OR MORE!!!!! ALSO HAVEL HARD :[
