Dark Souls: The Tale of Black Iron Tarkus (or: video game environmental storytelling is COOL)

[@matthewmanarino6574]

Similarly I love the detail in Elden Ring which has all the ogres stomachs torn out because they all used to have the great fire giant god’s visage in there, but lost the war against Marika, so they had all the faces in their abdomens torn out and are now these sorta pitiful servants to the nobles who supported Marika.

YUCK and COOL

Iron Tark is a legend and an absolute beast

[@MikedotFoster]

he's the hero we need, but not the one we deserve

Literally remember this being one of the major things we pointed out on the Spoilercast we did back in like 2014 lol.

oh my GOD that's memory lane; i'm gonna download and listen to old me

9:00 Well, I sort of blindly played through the game, and it was still an immense amount of fun I had. But I find it absolutely astonishing how much lore and thought went into this game! Thank you for summing up this little story.

[@MikedotFoster]

I definitely went wild the first time and finished thinking "okay lol what just happened????" -- i think there's no wrong way to enjoy a game

[@whatanonsense856]

@@MikedotFoster Yes, I agree. My comment may have sounded a bit too critical with the time stamp, too - I did not think that you ever said that a game should be played this way or that.

Great video. I had a feeling there was more to that loot pile. Thanks for pointing all that out. I’ll never look at that “random” broken window the same again.

[@MikedotFoster]
