Heyo. Nice shirt. Looks great on you.

Totally unrelated question and definitely doesn't have anything to do with a video, but if, HYPOTHETICALLY, I have been researching how to stealth through the remaining Souls series and slowly but surely working on videos for them...which would you want to see first?

Heyo. Hope you're well.

I'm in the middle of creating a "We Need To Talk..." video for Monster Hunter : Outlanders, the new MH mobile game currently in beta, and I need your help.

The video is going to include some developer Q+A - which is great, because it means the team itself can help us understand the thought process behidn some of their decisions - but I wanted to give you all a chance to ask a question too.

So, if you've got a burning question about Monster Hunter : Outlanders, make a comment on this post and I'll see if I can squeeze it in!

And because Youtube is Youtube and won't push this post unless there's engagement, here's a WaCkY FuN PoLL for you all.

"So are you ready to launch the Melon plushie?"
"Yup!"
"Wait, what are you doing with all those explosives?"
"...I don't follow."

After several months of logistical nightmares, the Melon Plushie is now live! Drained of color and of life, the antithetical anagram of your favorite citrus (maybe?) is ready to join the fray...usually at the phsyical detriment of everyone around him.

BIG UPDATE ON THE "DARK SOULS 1 NO AGGRO" RUN.
YES I'M TYPING IN ALL CAPS, I'M FREAKIN' EXCITED.
VIDEO ABOUT IT IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. STAY TUNED.

Now if you'll excuse me, my Steam Wallet is about to take a pretty hefty hit.

How far do you think the community got?

Wow, okay. I knew the internet was an unstoppable force, but this is ridiculous.
As of this moment, someone has taken up the call of my community challenge, and the Iron Golem has been defeated.

One prize claimed, and Anor Londo is officially on the table.
Which begs the question : how much further can the "No Aggro" run actually go?

Remember, if you can prove how to beat a boss and continue the run, send it my way! The Iron Golem is no longer viable for a free Steam game, but there's plenty more bosses past it! Offer stands until I upload another video about DS1 : No Aggro.

And because there was some confusion about it, a "boss" is an enemy that has a named healthbar that pops up on screen. Just so we're clear.

Best of luck!

While I've got you, what Souls game should we explore stealthily in next?

Heyo. Happy Monday.

For those of you who were wondering where the charity stream got off to, I have good news! I have finally finished battling with Youtube, and have gotten the stream to upload. It took weeks, but we got there.

In order to not mess with algorithm stuff, the videos will technically be unlisted, but they are available for your viewing pleasure in the "Charity Streams" playlist that I keep on my channel.

If that's too hard to find, it's right here : www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

Thank you again to everyone who made the event what it was. Couldn't have done it without the creators or the chat 💛
As always, we hope we can improve on the lessons learned this year from the stream, and we'll hopefully have something even bigger and better next year.

What was your favorite part of the stream?

Heyo. Hope April is treating you well. Lots of news for you all.

First off, the charity stream was yet another great success, as we raised over $30,000 for mental health awareness and resources. Once again, I am blown away by the generosity of this community. We couldn't have done it without you 💛
For those asking, yes, the charity stream in its entirety will be uploaded to Youtube. Youtube hates VODs that are longer than 12 hours, so we basically had to record the entire thing on our end and then reupload it as a video. It's still processing, but should be up for your viewing pleasure soon!

In more channel-specific news, I've got two things coming your way.
The first is a challenge run video that actually features a game from the backlog (and probably from before most of you were born), which will upload tomorrow. I had a lot of fun with that one, so if you want more games from that era, please make sure to let me know.
The second is that Makeship has asked to partner with the channel again! Which means I need your opinion about which kind of plushie you'd like to see available later in the year so I can propose it to Makeship to see if it's possible. I've put down the most requested options below, but if you've got another plushie you'd like to suggest, go ahead and comment below and I'll give it some thought.

And that's all for now! Plenty of projects going on in the background, and yes a majority of them are the ones you all keep screaming for. Thank you for being so patient - I hope they live up to the hype when they finally release.

The annual charity stream is nearly here!
We'll be going live in approximatley 15 hours - here's the link to the stream in case you want to set notifications for yourself. If you open the stream link, it should show you the start time in your personal timezone.

Can't make the beginning? No worries. We'll be streaming for ~18 hours, so chances are you'll be able to make some portion of the stream!

Thanks in advance to everyone who stops by. Whether you're donating to the charity or just dropping in to donate some good vibes, I appreciate you all for being a part of this community.

Don't you dare go hollow.

Ladies and gentlemen, mark your calendars, because it's that time of year again.
The "DON'T YOU DARE GO HOLLOW 2026" charity stream is upon us!

On April 18th, this Saturday, myself and over a dozen other content creators will be raising money for Hope For The Day, subjecting ourselves to unnecessary amounts of suffering for your enjoyment!

See amazing feats like:

- An escort quest through Dark Souls 1 where five guardians must keep an overencumbered Lemon alive while chat summons in bosses!
- A three person Dark Souls 2 speedrun contest where chat can hinder individual runners and even push back the finish line!
- A casual co-op run through Dark Souls 3 that chat can turn into a PvP slaughterhouse!
- A seamless Elden Ring bingo game where PvP is enabled and every player can actively backstab one another!



We'll also be having breaks inbetween segments where we sit around a virtual bonfire, sharing stories and occasionally answering chat's questions.
And just like last year, we'll be having giveaways throughout the stream as well - up to and including a Steam Deck.


The charity stream will go for approximately 18 hours, so stop in whenever you're free and help support the mental health of others by reducing ours 💛

Which part are you the most excited for?

So fun fact. That last post poll had VERY different answers that I typed into my phone, and those answers were (at least at one point) visible to people.
...then Youtube up and had a stroke, apparently.

That's the last time I try to make a post on my phone.

Thank you to everyone who's trying to find me an answer to the Age Of Empires "Spawn a Priest" problem. You all had some good people to reach out to and some good ideas to try.

As a reward, here's (hopefully) the real poll:

Which series are you most excited for the next episode of?
