It's Dark and Hell Is Hot | A DMX Retrospective Review - Duration: 9:47.

These days, it's easy to dismiss Earl Simmons as a man on his last legs.

Since his debut 20 years ago, the artist known as DMX has been arrested for everything from

drug possession to impersonating an FBI agent.

It's been a hard life for the embattled MC, a tragic tale of supreme talent sabotaged

by poverty, childhood abuse, drugs and mental illness.

As with many tortured artists, DMX would have his own demons to thank for the rise and fall

of one of the most fascinating careers in hip-hop.

From its birth in the Bronx during the 1970s, hip-hop has often been described as an outlet

for the disenfranchised.

It was home to honest reflections of the social, economic and political realities of marginalized

peoples.

DMX has always stood out as one of its darkest geniuses, no different than Edgar Allen Poe

in literature.

As it was to the legendary writer, the theme of darkness is equally central to the life

and art of Dark Man X.

First, let's go back a little bit.

Hip-hop was in a weird place in 1997.

Fans and critics were reeling from the devastating losses of Biggie Smalls and 2Pac which left

a massive hole in the game.

Music had moved out of the streets and into the shiny suits of acts like Puff Daddy, Ma$e

and Will Smith.

For big-time music executives like Irv Gotti and Lyor Cohen, signing someone who looked

and sounded like DMX was very dicey.

We're talking about a man with one the most unconventional voices in all of music.

His ultra-aggressive delivery and animalistic ad-libs clashed heavily with the flashy rap

at the top of the charts.

Yet and still, Def Jam took a chance on the gritty product that was DMX.

His debut album, It's Dark and Hell is Hot, dropped on May 12th, 1998.

It shot to the top of the Billboard 200 with 251,000 copies sold in the first week and

went 4x platinum in just over two years.

It also paved the way for the Bronx MC to become just the 2nd rapper since 2Pac to land

two platinum selling albums in the same year.

With that being said, It's Dark and Hell is Hot was much more than just a commercial

and critical success.

It was a sonic masterpiece that introduced a new rap heavyweight, revived a floundering

label in Def Jam and changed hip-hop as people knew it at the time.

Four years earlier, Nas' Illmatic introduced a thoughtful and technically brilliant brand

of inner-city storytelling that inspired evolution.

DMX replicated this in 1998 with a menacing and violent documentary.

His willingness to expose personal demons onstage, during interviews and on wax appealed

to people who were either captivated by darkness or looking to find meaning in their own suffering.

The kind of fascination that surrounded DMX's debut transcends both time and genre.

Kurt Cobain, Eminem, Tony Soprano, Omar Little and The Joker have all exposed America's

never-ending appreciation for complicated and imperfect anti-heroes.

On the song, "F***** wit D", DMX opens up about his own mental illness.

Amazingly, he's able to dig a bit deeper on "Stop Being Greedy" with a manic rap

that shines a light on the highs and lows of his bio-polar disorder.

His most incredible display of dark artistry comes in the standout track "Damien",

a head-spinning, back-and-forth battle between X and the personification of one of his demons.

Here, the suffering MC comes to the realization that by embracing his consuming darkness for

fame, he's sold his soul to the devil.

The greatness of this track can be seen in its influence on Kendrick Lamar

who cited that his encounters with Lucy, or Lucifer, on To Pimp a Butterfly were inspired

by "Damien".

In addition to representing different levels of Hell, a closer look at these songs reveal

that while not the most technical of MCs, DMX was an incredible storyteller.

From Slick Rick to Outkast, certain rappers have excelled at mixing rhymes with gripping

stories over the span of an entire song.

Backed by the perfectly menacing production of Dame Grease, P.K. and Swizz Beatz, Dark

Man X was able to dole out memorable tales of crime in "ATF", love in "How's

it Goin' Down" and redemption in his "Prayer" skit.

Songs like the "Ruff Ryders' Anthem" and "Get at Me Dog" highlighted his flexibility

by proving that he could write radio anthems with the best of them.

Given his fall from grace, I felt that it was important to remind people why Earl Simmons

is one of hip-hop's most important figures.

His numbers, talent and influence are undeniable.

His infectious energy was apparent to me the moment he stepped onto the scene in LL Cool

J's unforgettable "4,3,2,1".

When it comes to content and production, X's debut is a perfect exercise in organized chaos.

To this day, his journey through the lowest depths of humanity remains captivating and

disturbing.

It captures his descent with enough skill and authenticity to match the likes of something

as great as Goodfellas.

By giving an unforgettable voice to the darkest corners of society, It's Dark and Hell is

Hot solidified the Bronx MC as one of rap's premier street prophets.

In addition to bringing Def Jam back from the dead, this album ushered in the return

of the rap crew with Ruff Ryders, a talented collective that brought us Eve, Swizz Beatz

and the return of The Lox.

It also led to the emergence of street talents like 50 Cent and Camron who came with crews of

their own.

DMX sits with the likes of 2Pac in my top 5 because of his honesty as an artist.

Both MCs were not afraid to rage against the machine in one song and cry for forgiveness

in others.

Both persisted through challenging lives and careers.

They also stood tall in the face of a demise that they predicted in their own music.

Dave Chappelle once said that the worst thing you could call somebody was crazy because

it's dismissive.

I too believe that some strong people suffer because of their sick environments.

Few make it out completely, some not at all.

Remember that the next time Earl Simmons is on the news for something other than music.

The Dark Side of Spiritual Healing That No One Talks About - Duration: 10:01.

you

spiritual healing is generally considered to be something very positive

I mean what could be more uplifting than putting the two words spiritual and

healing together it's like watching a puppy cuddle a kitten or eating a triple

chocolate cake doused in melting caramel it just feels wonderful and enchanting

and don't get me wrong I love spiritual healing I think it is absolutely

essential on our inner journeys in fact if every single person in this world

underwent spiritual healing I think humanity and planet Earth would

be transformed forever I believe that we could finally achieve the ideal of world

peace but if you have been reading my work for a while

you will know that I'm not interested in focusing solely on the love and light

side of spirituality I am a shadow worker I love to plunge into the

darkness and expose what is hidden and today we need to shine that torch on

the darkside of spiritual healing but firstly what is spiritual healing

spiritual healing is the practice and experience of restoring harmonizing and

balancing our spirit or soul there are many different approaches to spiritual

healing for example some new age healing practitioners focus only on bringing

balance to the etheric or non-physical energy field of the human body shamanic

healers focus on restoring the soul and curing soul loss and other holistic

healers focus on unifying the body heart mind and soul even psychologists and

therapists are starting to incorporate spiritual healing into their works such

as those operating in the depth and transpersonal fields of psychology

spiritual healing is also seen as a transcendental experience of

reconnecting with our true nature as author and teacher Shakti Gawain writes

spiritual healing occurs as we begin to consciously reconnect with our essential

being the wise loving powerful creative entity that we are at our core the

darkside of spiritual healing that no one talks about there's a reason why no

one talks about the dark side of spiritual healing number one most people

aren't even aware that there's a dark side and if they are aware then number

two they are uncomfortable to face or confront it here's where I come in your

friendly neighborhood Shadow worker I will help to outline exactly how seeking

for spiritual healing can be self-destructive and why sounds

paradoxical doesn't it well here's the thing it is spiritual healing can feel

like an enigma wrapped in a riddle and I'll explain why to be as short and

succinct as possible there are two dark twins of spiritual healing spiritual

eyes Dresden's the first dark twin is what I call spiritual eyes Drance what

does spiritual eyes resistance mean basically it means that sometimes we can

use spiritual healing as an excuse to get rid of certain feelings memories and

experiences that we've had what's wrong with trying to banish or get rid of what

we go through it's a form of resistance and resistance leads to tremendous

suffering I'm talking anxiety depression anger resentment bitterness the whole

shebang I believe that everyone in the spiritual community needs to understand

that trying to heal is not always about healing

in fact often healing is used as an excuse to deny suppress disown or reject

what we're going through it is completely understandable to want

to try and get rid of our suffering particularly if we are exhausted and

deeply wounded but here's the thing desperately trying to heal can actually

exacerbate your unhappiness and deepen your resistance to what's happening

thereby preventing you from actually healing I will repeat that sentence

again read it slowly desperately trying to heal can intensify your unhappiness

and deepen your resistance to what's happening thereby preventing you from

actually healing it is important for us to understand that true spiritual

healing is about facing acknowledging exploring and integrating what we are

going through it's not about trying to escape our

reality dark spiritual teachers the second dark twin is perpetrated by

spiritual healers and practitioners who are aware either on a conscious or

unconscious level of the first dark twin of spiritual healing these teachers are

aware of the addictive quality of the push and pull game of eternal

self-improvement and they use it for their own self gain I see this literally

everywhere it's a sad thing to behold it's prevalent in people who believe

they must pay big bucks to manifest their desires keep their vibration high

and basically accumulate more and be more as if who they are and what they

have isn't already enough when does this getting and being more

actually end it's an eternal cycle that leads to suffering which I wrote about

in my thought-provoking self-improvement article then of course you have the more

sinister breed of spiritual teachers who appear divine an enlightened on the

surface but are raging megalomaniacs underneath a true spiritual teacher will

always give your power back to you but a false spiritual teacher will not only

parade around wearing your codependency like a crown but will also actively

encourage it they will purport to have the power to

heal all your issues and provide you with the one true path towards

enlightenment illumination or oneness and if you believe them you will be

ensnared in a dangerous web of believing that someone outside of you can offer

you salvation read more about dodgy spiritual teachers what is authentic

spiritual healing healing doesn't mean the damage never

existed it means the damage no longer controls

our lives akshay dubby i hope that during the

course of this article i have communicated myself clearly spiritual

healing itself isn't to blame it is our mental approach towards spiritual

healing when spiritual healing is used as a way

to avoid deny suppress and disown our issues through spiritual eyes Drance we

are abusing its potential and when spiritual healing is used as a dangling

carrot by unethical and unwise spiritual teachers then it is being desecrated

what is authentic spiritual healing true spiritual healing is about facing

acknowledging exploring and integrating what we are going through it's not about

trying to escape our reality it's really as simple as that just think of it this

way if you had a blistering sore using blood and puss

would you really achieve much by covering your eyes and pretending to

ignore it know the pain and infection would still be there

would you really heal by pretending the sore wasn't yours or by making it

someone else's responsibility to look after no you'd still carry that sore

with you everywhere it wouldn't go away any time soon

the only way to heal that blistering sore is to face it accept it and find

ways of alleviating your suffering not as a way of trying to escape your

reality but as a form of self-love this to me is true spiritual healing so

when it comes to spiritual healing please be mindful of these traps and

practice healthy caution critical thinking skills and radical self honesty

are so vital in this day and age

Welcome to Self Development Dark Mode 🕶️ | Dark Mode Ep 01 - Duration: 12:48.

Hey guys,

So, you're about to watch an episode from my Self-Improvement Dark Mode series.

We're showing this intro at the beginning of every episode,

so if you've already seen it,

you already know what Self-Improvement Dark Mode is,

skip ahead.

My goal with the series is to show how we can accomplish amazing things

if we put all of our focus and energy into them.

It's called Dark Mode because I'm effectively going dark.

I'm not talking to friends or family,

not engaging in social media,

and not going out.

I'm basically not doing anything that isn't directly facilitating the acquisition,

the manifestation of my stated goals.

And I will do this every single day.

I will not stop until I have accomplished my goals.

I will die before I don't accomplish them.

I have four very difficult goals that I've set for myself:

First is my occupational goal.

I want to successfully launch a brand new corporate website,

and I also want to create 20 extremely high-quality videos for our blog and marketing

My expressive goal.

I want to dance one complete song of salsa at the same level of energy.

I know that sounds easy but it's extremely difficult;

even some of the highest level dancers aren't capable of doing that.

My physical goal.

I want to be able to complete five reps of

225 pounds benchpress,

325 pound deadlift and,

245 pounds squats.

Those all represent personal records for me,

and I have to achieve these goals, remaining lean.

And then my fourth goal,

is with Nelson Quest, my youtube channel.

I want to get to 10,000 subscribers organically.

let's go ahead and get into the episode.

Welcome to day one of Dark Mode.

Maybe let's do a a quick progress check so you can see where the body's at.

now that we're officially starting.

I mean like, it's just going to get better from here.

So I think I did a pretty good job last week.

I think I have my diet stuff down.

I think I have my diet stuff down.

I just feel really good, really good energy

Let's adjust that a little bit.

I don't really know how to flex so...-

Whatever, you see my body.

I don't think I need to do much more.

but it's just going to get better from here.

Anyway, body's looking pretty good, I think,

I actually feel bloated.

I think this is actually worse than what it could look right now.

but yeah, we'll check back again,

maybe in another week.

see how things are going.

But it should only get better.

I should actually only get stronger and leaner from here.

Alright guys, so to reach some of my strength goals,

I'm going to have to basically play around a little bit.

I'm going to have to implement everything that I know.

And so, today's technically a rest day,

but what I'm going to do during my rest days is,

I'm going to try to stimulate more growth hormone,

I'm going to do that with high-intensity training in a fasted state.

So I'm going to do 50 cycles of what are called Tabata Training.

Tabata is 20 seconds on, full intensity, ten seconds off.

I'm going to alternate between three things,

One is this stationary bike,

which is really great for everything thighs up.

One is this exercise ball that I'm sitting on,

And this is, well....-

Today it's mainly a core day.

I don't want fatigue the muscles that I'm trying to get stronger at.

I just want to do really high-intensity training to promote growth hormone.

So, anyway...-

I'm done.

Got to get home,

hit the sauna,

get that growth hormone nice and boosted.

Isn't that rain?

Hey guys,

so seeing that this is the first episode of Dark Mode,

I think one of the first things that we need to talk about,

this is really one of the most important things,

that if you want to self-actualize,

if you want to develop the capacity to look within yourself,

and that's a capacity that's very difficult to develop.

i think one of the first things, one of the first abilities you have to develop

one of the things that was personally most helpful to me,

going inward,

was understanding the outside.

Really understanding the outside.

And I think one of the most important things to understand when it comes to the external,

I think one of the most important abilities to perceive things that you can develop is

the ability to perceive and understand how everything external to you

is, basically, designed to turn you into a consumer.

Capitalism, from the moment you are born,

is designed to just make you a better and better consumer.

Make you better at consuming things.

Make no mistake,

I'm not against capitalism.

Truthfully, I haven't given a lot of thought to which economic system I think would be best,

because I like to try to focus on the things that i can control;

I live within a consumer capitalist society,

and so, I have given a lot of thought to the natural evolution of that,

and how the evolution, specifically of capitalism,

more and more, works to turn us into consumers.

This is very much like The Matrix:

where there's like a blue pill and a red pill

And so, and by the way, there are benefits to either.

There are benefits to just taking the blue pill,

Reality, going within yourself,

is very scary.

You will feel depressed.

you will have to confront emotions that, on the blue pill, you typically try to,

or you're taught to run away from;

or use pills to treat.

With the red pill, you're going to have to...-

Reality is not anything that I want to glamorize,

It's a scary thing having to actually go within yourself,

and that's why most people don't even spend like, a second of any day, alone.

Without some sort of, like, company.

Even when they go to bed,

they're looking at stuff,

or maybe they're watching tv until they go to sleep.

The second they wake up, they're on their a phone again.

People don't realize it,

but this is all just a way to escape having to be alone with yourself

which is potentially putting you in a situation where you would actually have to go inside yourself.

Which, again, we're taught, and we're brainwashed,

that this is a...-

That you have to avoid that at all costs.

The great promise of consumerism is fulfillment, right?

That you can buy this physical thing,

or you can buy this pill,

or you can, basically, use money to buy something

that leads to fulfillment.

And this is just a carrot at the end of the stick.

Like, the only way to have fulfillment is to go within yourself.

But the false promise of consumerism,

and in consumerism, again, it's all just external,

is that you can have fulfillment paying money for something

and then buying that thing, and realizing you're not fulfilled,

and then you move on to the next thing,

or the next thing, or the next thing,

and then you just do that until you die.

That's consumerism.

If you're watching this video,

and you worship the Lamborghini,

you want to make a million dollars,

there's nothing I can say in this video that's going to sway you

from wanting those things.

There's nothing.

At best, the best that I can hope for

is to open a door in your mind that maybe you walk through and you start to peek through,

but you yourself have to come to realization.

I can't give you realizations.

When I first had my epiphany moment, back in 2011,

my goals were:

$100,000 dollars, and

a really, really nice car.

Those were my goals,

Those are the things that I wanted.

And this was even after I had my epiphany moment.

This is after I had, you know...-

My epiphany moment was basically where

I started to...-

I walked through the door and I started to see all of the the falseness around me.

But I still wanted these things.

And it wasn't until I actually had a lot of money,

until I actually was able to purchase these material things,

that I was able to fully understand that they don't,

I could have had the idea that they wouldn't fulfill me,

but I still wanted them.

And then when I had them,

that's when I realized that these things don't make you happier.

They don't.

And also, entrepreneurship it's a lot of good things,

like, I'm an entreprenur, I'm very happy,

but i'm also a very specific personality type;

and most people are not my personality type.

Most successful entrepreneurs that I know take very few vacations,

travel very little,

work their fucking asses off,

don't have families,

I mean, it's really hard.

It's really hard.

Because I'm running a business where I'm competing against other businesses

that prioritize profits.

Anyway guys, I could talk about this for hours,

The main part of this video is simply just to put the seed into your head

to open the door for you to start to looking at your external world

with a little bit of healthy skepticism.

Anyway I'm going to get back to work

I mean, I don't even want to eat this,

it just looks so good.

I mean like, I want to eat this.

Colored salts.

I think Luz's already gave you guys the the rundown of what this is.

I'll try to get the macros up here on the screen.

If you want to know the real secret to my success

It's this woman.

It's the way that she takes care of me,

It's the way she keep my house clean with just love,

and just love.

like, love. Like she loves me.

And I love her.

I'm extremely, extremely fortunate.

Everything that I put in my body,

she cookes up.

And all the keto diet stuff,

she's learned how to work with that,

and I mean, just...-

Man, this is incredible.

So I'm going to eat,

i just took a bite:

it's a 10, it's a 10.

This is better than anything you're going to find in any restaurants.

I mean, just...-

I don't even think,

everything she makes is just...-

I cook really well.

But if she makes it, it's just always tastes...-

Even eggs ,even just like one single egg.

She would still find a way to make it, like, ten times better than I could possibly make it, so

She actually used to own a restaurant on the coast in Colombia.

So she's a...

I think I'm going to have to open a restaurant with her.

Anyway, I'm going to eat.

I think we're done with this episode.

Anyway, please like, please subscribe, please comment.

Dark mode has officially begun.

And I'll see you guys in the next episode.

Walk'n With Walken- Episode 7: The Dark Night - Duration: 6:45.

Hey!

Hey you!

Who the hell?

Hey!

Hey!

Are you talking to me down there?

What the hell are you doing up there?

You're gonna get hurt!

Well, you know!

Being up here sort of reminds me of that Batguy man.

What?

Oh!

Oh no, sorry!

I'm talking about Batman!

And Gothic City!

And when he's flying around and shit!

Are you nuts?

No!

I'm not nuts, my good sir!

You see, I'm talking about The Dark Knight!

When Heath Ledger passed away, there was a lot of doubt and fear surrounding the new

Batman movie!

But to ease the Warner Bros. fears I directed, produced and wrote a version of the film all

by myself!

He's got no items.

No identification.

Nothing.

He just came in off the streets.

He's clearly unstable.

Why so serious?

*Poorly acted laugh* We all want to rule Gotham City!

We all want to rule Gotham City!

But a common foe presents himself to us!

A man dressed like a bat!

You may know him by his street name: Batman.

I don't know where they came up with a silly name like that but there you go!

Gee, boss!

What are we gonna do?

Well, it's quite simple.

We kill the bat.

And stuff!

*Poorly acted laugh*

Hey!

Don't you know never to touch the Batman's radio?!

I'll sing!

War what is it good for?

Master Wayne!

The Joker is the on the loose again!

And his evil plot is in full swing!

He's turning day into night!

You mean if I don't stop him?!

Yes!

Gotham City will be in for...

A Dark Night!

You are black!

You are darkness!

From within the shadows you fight like a knight!

You are: A bat man!

Who in the hell are you?!

I'm Catwoman!

Why you be dressing like a cat you crazy bitch?!

Care for some milk?

What the hell is wrong with you?!

Put that shit away!

Can it you!

Dark, chocolatey hunk of bat!

Oh hell, I'm hungry!

Come on!

Hit me!

Hang on, Catwoman!

Come on, hurry, and hit me!

You're gonna have to get your big ass booty of this ride!

Come on, hit me!

Hit me!

So yeah, that's pretty much the movie!

I mean it was quite the challenge being writer, producer and director!

I even helped compose the soundtrack!

I think I might even have one of our jam sessions on my i-Thingy here.

Dark Souls Remastered (PS4) Review | A's GAMING moments - Duration: 6:40.

Dark Souls Remastered may not bring a lot new to the table.

But what it does do, is give an excuse for fans to go back and play this game again.

Or, it maybe for people who have never explored the lands of Lordran before, and give them

a new reason to try it out.

Either way I'm going to review this game, from my perspective.

I'm a fan of series, but I haven't actually played the original before.

(And I'm not talking Demon's Soul's- I mean have never played Dark Souls One).

So I'm going to review the game in full, without any previous experience with it- and so will

probably die a lot.

But first, for those of you out there, who just want to hear what the remaster's like.

Well, here's a list of things that have changed.

Number one, graphics.

The game looks pretty good.

But anyone who's expecting it to now look like Dark Souls III has to remember that this

is a REMASTER and not a REMAKE.

It's taking an old model and sprucing it up a bit, but it's never going to look amazing.

But there is a nice improvement.

Number two, 60 frames per second.

Now this isn't really something that I usually care about.

I think my old eyes must broken from 25 years of gaming, but I often don't really notice

frame rate that much.

It's never something that I really care about, as long as it remains consistent.

But this was the first time when I really appreciated a silky smooth 60 frames per second.

I think the reason is that it creates the illusion that the combat is faster than it

actually is.

Dark Souls has always been considered kind of slow and ponderous, but now, things appear

to be moving a little faster.

And it's a good thing too, because timing is so important here.

Dodging, blocking, attacking has to timed perfectly- otherwise, well, you die.

Number three, Blighttown.

From what I've seen and read, the area of the game called Blighttown used to be atrocious.

It would chug along, making it, what some people would describe as unplayable.

But now, it seems to be fine.

Most of the time.

Number four, Online play.

Essentially, the online play has been boosted up to the levels of other, more modern Souls

games.

So you can now have six players in arena battles, rather than four.

Matchmaking is better, so the level of an invading phantom will be adjusted to make

things more fair.

There's a few other changes from the original, but they're the main ones right there.

So is it still a great game?

Well, yeah.

But could they perhaps have done a little bit more with the remaster, to really treat

die-hard fans.

Possibly.

After all, Dark Souls' fans are some of the most loyal fans you'll ever get.

And to be honest, I can't blame them.

It's great.

The game starts off small, not afraid to throw you in at the deep end.

There's no hand holding here as one of the first enemies you come across is a boss that

most likely will wipe the floor with you.

And that's the tone set, right from the beginning- if you expected an easy ride, you may as well

turn off the game now and trade it in for, I don't know... Knack.

But pretty soon the world opens up to become this vast, interconnected web of horror locations.

The irony being, that the graveyard's one of the brighter locations in the game.

Where you go and what you do is largely up to you.

It creates these truly memorable locations, that you'll get to spend a lot of time in,

exploring hidden chambers, looking for rare weapons and creating routes that you become

familiar with, so that you can farm away for those precious souls.

And there are plenty of disgusting, evil, but creative enemies for you to kill.

There's often deliberately no music, making the atmosphere kind of drab and gloomy, but

in a good way.

In a way that makes you feel less like a heroic knight going off on an adventure, and more

like a violent, pest control guy, trying to clean up this world and that no-one has any

faith in.

The characters that you meet on your journey, come across as almost comical, always laughing

at you, at your pitiful attempts to survive.

It's like the whole world's in on the joke, except you, with traps and surprises around

every corner.

When you approach a fog wall, you never know whether it's going to be safe to pass through, or if your

walking into one of the game's many, many bosses.

My only real criticism with this first game, is that a lot of the areas don't have these

amazing wide views, that you really want to stop and take a closer look at.

Sure there's a few, and these look better now than ever, with the improved lighting

effects.

But I think a handful more would have been nice.

Gameplay is tense, satisfying, rewarding and tough.

At least at first, before you begin to level up, but more importantly, before you start

to learn how to take on each individual enemy type.

They all come with their own moves and ALL of them pose a threat, no matter how high

your health is.

But by almost studying them.

By learning their patterns of movement, you get more and more skilled at beating them

without taking a hit.

Take this boss for example.

My first attempt, did not turn out so well.

Third or fourth attempt, I knew when to stay back, when to close in.

And by playing it cautious and not getting too greedy, it was no longer a threat.

And you're rewarded with not only items, weapons or souls, but access to new areas to explore,

so you can repeat the whole process over again.

And the now famous souls mechanic, where dying means that you drop whatever unspent XP you

have on you, always creates this dilemma of do I carry on and see how far I can get, or

do I go back, play it safe, level up, but re-spawn all of the enemies, meaning I have

to fight them all over again.

"OK, I'm going to... think I'm going to jump over that but...

Did he just push?

Oh, you're getting it now!

Bye-bye!

You can make the jump for me.

See you!"

Before wrapping this thing up, I will say that I don't like how, early on in the game,

the items dropped by a lot of the enemies is the same armour or weapons, so you end

up with like ten pieces of the same set of gloves.

It would have been more useful if they dropped a few more usable items, like throwing knives

or bombs or something like that.

But anyway, Dark Souls has gone on to become a lot of people's favourite series of all

time.

It's spawned countless memes and has even inspired many other games to follow in it's

footsteps.

So it was great to finally get the chance to get a taste of where it all began.

As always, thanks for watching.

Bye.
