Dark Souls is serious business. Except when it's not. from doris89592's blog

These tall tales represent what we love most about PC gaming: the ways truly passionate players can imprint their own personalities on Dark And Darker Gold our shared virtual worlds. And given that it's set in a replica of the Milky Way 100,000 light years across, in Elite Dangerous the dark gets real deep.


Tales from the Hard Drive demanded a a world-class voice, which is why we brought on Lenval Brown, the incredible narrator of Disco Elysium: The Final Cut to help us tell them. InEpisode 1we told the story of Angwe, also known as the Terror of Menethil Harbor. 


Angwe was World of Warcraft's infamous serial killer: an unstoppable rogue who went on a months-long ganking spree that became the stuff of forum legend. In Episode 2 we met the Fuel Rats, players of Elite Dangerous who help out pilots who run out of gas in the deep dark. 


In Episode 3 we spoke to Dr. Wasteland, the heroic healer who became a legend in DayZ's early days, proving that even a grim post-apocalyptic survival sim had space for altruism.


In Episode 4 we covered World of Warcraft's Corrupted Blood plague, talking to an ex-Blizzard raid designer and one of the many players who was on the ground when a pandemic hit Azeroth. We also interviewed an epidemiologist, who had some interesting things to say about the blood plague's real-world parallels.


In Episode 5 we pulled apart the EVE Online scam that took 16 months of undercover work, and resulted in the loss of Dark And Darker Gold for sale a valuable ship—as well as a broken heart.
