Headshots. Every time they show up in a game, you know you're in for a good time. But unlike other games, Dark Souls 1 has some...interesting...ideas about how headshots should work. youtu.be/KATMFGsrNnY

That's right. It's time for some good ol' Disney games. You know, the ones that the developers literally apologized for because they made some of the levels hard on purpose so you couldn't beat them in a single weekend rental? Yeah, those ones. youtu.be/88Sodu8rv00

@kabbuse @IndieGameJoe 1 v 1000+ games. ...so you know, might be a bit difficult.

@IndieGameJoe @TheBacklogs how doomed would you be?

This indie dev is making a game where your Steam backlog comes to life… & tries to kill you. - Fight the games you never played - The more you paid, the stronger they are - You’re literally battling your backlog It’s called Game Quest: The Backlog Battler. Would you play this?

That's right baby, we're going back to the classics! Back when Mario could only walk, run, duck and jump. But that begs the question - is the game even doable if you remove 1/4th of Mario's movement mechanics? youtu.be/_RnO-WhK-uU?si…

In case you missed the news, we're back again for another round of suffering. Take care, friend. Don't you dare go hollow.

Hammers are pretty cool in Dark Souls, but what about their bigger, angrier cousin, Great Hammers? Do they live up to their name? Or are they just an overhyped mess? ...oh who are we kidding, you can't go wrong with some Big Bonks. youtu.be/RKwF-fobqQg?si…

A team is only as strong as its weakest member. And that's doubly true of survival games. But if we remove all the other team members, then we remove all the weakness! ...wait, why am I still dying repeatedly? youtu.be/v-1NHp7M8_U

@TheBacklogs DS1 Kick only when 🤣

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
