We recorded this episode of Monster Factory the day Dark Souls 3 came out, which marks the first occasion that we've pre-ruined a game that we actually really wanted to play in the pursuit of monstrous beauty. The results speak for themselves: Thanks to our lack of prep work, our hero — a dirty, rowdy version of the classic batman villain The Joker — just gets Shadrached by pretty much every enemy in the game. Like, they line up, take a number, and then just light this rowdy, dirty boy up.

You can watch the birth and many, many deaths of The Junker in Dark Souls 3 in the video posted above. Heads up: This episode is especially NSFW, because that's just the kind of response that this franchise elicits.
