Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about the first stretch of King's Field IV: The Ancient City. Continuing our Origins Suite, we now turn our attention to King's Field, which is the other big fantasy series that From Software is known for. We opted for King's Field IV because it's a standalone story, and also because it's the most accessible. Take a listen to hear more, as we talk about everything up through the first encounter with some Guardians.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about the Conviction Arc of the Berserk manga. With the Golden Age covered, we are now venturing out beyond where any anime or movie has adapted the Berserk story. The Conviction Arc has a great structure: it's part Monster-of-the-Week and part "let's fulfill the promise of this horribly broken world". But, most of all, it gave us Serpico. Long live Serpico! This episode covers Volumes 14-22 of the manga.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about the first two arcs of the Berserk manga. Why the hell are we talking about manga on a Dark Souls podcast? All you have to do is open a Berserk volume to any random page to see that From Software drew a LOT of inspiration from this decades-long (and still running!) series. In this episode, we cover generalities, along with the first two major arcs of the series-- "The Black Swordsman" and "The Golden Age" (Volumes 1 - 14).
