  <description>Dave is joined once again by Adam Rivera to discuss the finale (for now) in the Dark Souls series.

Find out how we feel in this episode!   
*Both Adam and I had some technical issues in this recording that affected the audio quality, but the conversation is worth it, I promise! Sorry!
