Matthew I had a question the other day and it was when elden ring comes out and everyone is settled are you making a animation of it?

[@iamrealm9885]

Omg nvm I just finished watching 🤣

He played "Live and Learn" by Crush 40 if you are interested. He played that so good that was sick!!!

[@thelonewolf7443]

I love Crush 40, man they’ve been killing since 1998 + this year also marks the 20th anniversary of Live & Learn for Sonic Adventure 2. I’m gonna look it up now 😁

[@Shezmen88]

Love Crush 40!! Thank you btw, I wish I had more time to practice though and get better.

A Bloodborne cartoon would be awesome. As for special appearances, I’m sure some of the streamers/you tubers in the Souls community would be thrilled to be involved.

[@MisterPuck]

I would love it if he did a Bloodborne cartoon! I’ve never really seen any good Bloodborne animations, despite the popularity of the game!

[@GriMitchell]

He should get Zeus in there too.

[@CrazieSilver-Tongue]

The idea that the main character having different outfits for each episode makes me think on how some players like myself start with the starting gear and over the course of the game try out new outfits at times. In the sense that as one progresses through the game, you steadily get better gear bit by bit. Of course this is just how my journey in Dark Souls went and by "better" gear that depends on ones point of view as well I suppose. With that said though I as well as many others out there are looking forward to what ya got to share Matthew.

[@Shezmen88]

Thanks dude, and also that's awesome! I do that too from time to time. BUT, to be honest, I'd be lying omitting the large amounts of times that I've been wandering around Lordran completely naked as a zombie LMAO

[@aloncafry4192]

Nice guitar riff at the start!! Did you play "Live and Learn" by Crush 40? Sounded really similar to it. It was a soundtrack for a sonic game if I remember correctly.

This comment made my day dude, thank you!

[@cptntrash1387]

Yo Shez big hype for the new project!!!

[@ghostgate82]

Souls is the most memeable game series of all time. Please, never stop. ❤️

[@RSHastingsIV]

This is a very healthy degree of self reflection, recognizing both your limits, respecting the original content, and allowing yourself to stretch into the experimental. I look forward to these, sir. Some of my favorite film are short 1-5 minute experimental animations. The freedom the format offers is refreshing and even as a viewer I can still walk away satisfied in the spectacle even if I wouldnt consider the content my favorites.

[@cennerdobber8196]

Looks like Dork Souls is back on the menus, boys.

[@neonnwave1]

Short skits is a very good idea. Easier to work with, means more videos can be produced, and it gives you more practice and preparation for anything big you have planned in future. Keep up the good work and keep on rockin'. Arrivederci.
