I know I shouldn't fanboy so much on my community page over a Mario sequel, *but*...

Another 9th Anniversary post to one of the greatest games of all time, and the most influential Metroidvania of the 21st century. Team Cherry's HOLLOW KNIGHT is truly a special game and I especially can't wait to talk more about it on this channel, between working on the massive HK project and the occasional shorts while in production.

In case you missed it, please watch, comments, and like my latest DARK SOULS video essay on fighting Gwyn, the game's final boss. This was another passion project which I enjoyed producing.
There will be more DISCO ELYSIUM video essays coming real soon. The INLAND EMPIRE episode in my skill analysis series will premiere late winter/Springtime along with the 2nd episode in the FOREVER FREDDY series covering Five Night's At Freddy's 2. Also, the Drama and Pain Threshold episodes in the DE series will also premiere during the week before summer.
Thanks a bunch for watching and your support and stay tuned for more video updates !
