Which Game/Franchise Would You Like To See Adapted By LEGO?

I would absolutely love to see a collaboration between FromSoft and LEGO for Dark Souls or Elden Ring. Some of the locations in those games would make for really good real LEGO sets, like Irithyll of the Boreal Valley or even the Church of Elleh from the beginning of Elden Ring with Kale - I'd pay a lot of money for a LEGO version of Aldia, Scholar of the First Sin. But I think the games dour atmosphere would also be an interesting contrast to the typically bright and shiny LEGO series. Really, I just want to fight a boss like Iudex Gundyr in a LEGO game and watch bricks fly off of him with each hit.

Who's The Better Elden Ring Boss: Malenia Or Consort Radahn?

Malenia is the better boss by a mile. Not only does she feel better to fight, she also doesn't reduce my framerate to 20 every time she does a fancy attack. Consort Radahn's second phase overwhelmed me and my computer both, and while I eventually beat him in fewer tries than I did with Malenia, I still would rather not fight him again.

What Game Should Every Elden Ring Fan Play?

I consider Elden Ring to be my favorite game of all time, but after you get to 500 hours playing the same game, it's natural to want something new. If you're craving more games that are similar to Elden Ring, older FromSoftware games are a great place to start – Dark Souls and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice especially. Dark Souls has the same vibes and general gameplay of Elden Ring without jumping or mounting, but if you liked the combat mechanics and want to play something that expands upon them, you'll have a lot of fun with Sekiro. In terms of non-FromSoftware games, though, I'd recommend Elden Ring fans play Soulslikes that twist the genre in some way, like Another Crab's Treasure.

What Are Your Favorite Songs From Your Favorite Game?

My favorite game of all time is Elden Ring, and there are a few songs that I still listen to again and again, doing more than just reminding me of some of the game's best moments. Out of everything in Elden Ring, the best music to my ear is either the full suite when fighting Radagon and the Elden Beast, or the Rellana boss fight from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The Rellana song in particular goes really hard – especially the part where the descending strings that were used in the original Shadow of the Erdtree trailer play. Plus, you'll likely hear the whole thing as you try to beat her again and again.

Which Elden Ring Side Story Did You Find The Most Emotional?

The first thing that came to my mind when I thought of sad Elden Ring moments was the Castle Morne story with Irina and Edgar. This is one of the side stories that many players (me included) encounter first, and I really didn't see that ending coming.

Do You Prefer Realistic Or Artistic Graphics in Games?

Back in the day it was really neat to get a new console or a new game and really be able to notice the generational differences – like the jump from 2D to 3D in the 90s, or the jump to HD quality in the 360/PS3 generation. Nowadays the leaps in graphical quality are much smaller, and the recent PlayStation 5 Pro ad was mocked by some because there were so few differences between the base quality and the Pro quality image. 10 or 15 years ago I probably would have said that I prefer realistic graphics, but nowadays I need something that really stands out visually and tend to go for games with a heavy stylistic approach to its visuals. You can have the best of both worlds, too, in games that take advantage of the capabilities of computers today for truly beautiful renders that don't sacrifice an artistic, stylistic visual design – like Elden Ring or Cyberpunk 2077..

What Is The Coolest Piece Of Gaming Memorabilia You Own?

It's nothing too special, but the coolest piece of video game merch I own is either an Elder Scrolls calendar I won from an official Twitter raffle from The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages, the largest compendium of lore and info about the Elder Scrolls series, or a custom-made Elden Ringkeyboard and mouse mat. The Calendar isn't useful to me anymore so I just have it up for the artwork and Morrowind screenshots, but I get to use this XL rendition of the Elden Ring cover art every time I sit at my desk.

Show Us Your Best In-Game Screenshot!

When it comes to the best game screenshots there are few games with better visual design and environmental aesthetics than Elden Ring. I got this screenshot while preparing for Shadow of the Erdtree and thought to get a screenshot of The Blasphemous Serpent before picking up the Serpent Killer. Rykard's boss arena is easily one of the most beautiful (and just plain terrifying) Elden Ring locations, and there's a really eerie feeling that you get upon first stepping in and seeing this great serpent sleeping amongst the countless bodies of other Tarnished. But using Elden Ring screenshots should almost be cheating – there are countless moments and environmental landscapes in Elden Ring that could be a contender for the best game screenshot of all time.

What Is The Best Ending In Elden Ring?

While almost every ending in Elden Ring is ambiguous, I feel like the Age of the Stars is the best outcome. It basically ushers in a new age free of Marika, the Golden Order, the Elden Ring, and the Greater Will's influence. The world has already fallen into ruin, so it might as well start again under the guidance of a new, less intrusive deity.
