Howdy, nerds!
In this episode the boys, and special guest Morgan "Bubbycat" Reynolds, sat down and jawed all about the history of the legendary gaming company FromSoft and all of the genre-creating and difficulty spiking games they've released.
From humble beginnings designing software for industrial agriculture to redefining what difficulty means in video gaming and causing Nerds for years to come to question if any new game is "Souls-like", FromSoft's rise to greatness is a heck of a ride that almost didn't happen if not for some innovative risk takers at helm!
We had a blast with this episode and we think you're gonna really dig it.
