The 1-Shot Contest. I've always wanted a reason to do it myself. And today, I've finally found a way to not only make it harder, but also do it in a way that has never been done before. And it nearly broke me. youtu.be/7el4-IvyARU

A few years ago, I ran a 1-shot Contest for Dark Souls 1 and invited a bunch of Youtube creators to participate. And one run was so unconventional that I haven't stopped thinking about it since. So. Can you 1-shot DS1 as a dragon? youtu.be/Q_7AD63BGj4

Earthworm Jim is a 90s game that I remember fondly, but never truly finished, as I have vague memories of it getting impossibly hard at points. So what better way to revisit the game than by making it even harder on ourselves? youtu.be/M7CWT-FrgQE

Dark Souls 1 Without Aggroing Enemies. Last time we attempted this, we got the run all the way to Sens Fortress before we were no longer able to progress. We covered a lot of side paths, but the main questline was unobtainable. ...or so I thought. youtu.be/yD4XEoiH2Cs

Ahhhhh Gothic. Retro dark fantasy at its finest. Set in a prison mining colony, all sorts of dangers await us. Dangers like orcs, the other prisoners, or the horrifying (yet somehow adorable) bone chickens. But what if we only had the pickaxe we came in with? youtu.be/7fgk1vK2UjY
