Fresh Despatch
Delivered by crow, which the Keeper considered showy even by the standards of this archive. Inside: a bonfire, a claymore, and a man who opens by promising he is not very good at this and intends to die in front of you regardless.
- A Normal Guy Plays Dark Souls - Part 1 - Intro Through Taurus Demon — a casual descent into Lordran, prized less for the deaths than for the running argument that this game’s level design still humbles everything built since.
From the deeper stacks — if Lordran suits you, the archive keeps its kin:
- Rune - Yes Indeed. Prepare, Engraved, to roll dice — the same bleak loop folded flat onto a table, engraved dice and all.
- Revisiting Bloodborne: The Board Game — the same studio’s dream, rather less kindly translated to cardboard.
- Video Games? Why? Channel Update — the archivist explaining, patiently, why a board game channel keeps a controller in the drawer.
Planned excavations resume next cycle.
