Welcome to Yharnam [ Bloodborne ASMR ]

You stumble upon one of the few residents in the city willing to open their doors on the night of the hunt, and who happens to know a bit about the history of what transpired. *Spoiler alert!* For those who haven't played the game yet, there are a few things given away plot-wise, but I did try to avoid major spoilers. I wanted this video to be geared towards those who have played the game, and those who have never played it. Bloodborne creator Hidetaka Miyazaki left much of the game's lore up to the imagination of the player, and he also drew inspiration from H. P. Lovecraft, two great things I love about this game. But this meant a lot of questions left unanswered and puzzle pieces I had to put together. So I spent about an hour or so each day over the few weeks leading up to this video trying to devour and memorize as much lore as possible that was theorized by various folks out on the internet who have bigger brains that me, including one individual who wrote a 90-page thesis here: http://bit.ly/1jBQgcR In this video I had also planned to discuss some of the locations and enemies one would find and discover in the game, but this will be done in a future video as it's all just too much for one video, especially being an ASMR format. Lastly, there is some weird interference or a possible technical issue with my microphone or recorder, as you may hear some strange static sounds occasionally throughout the video. I hope it isn't too bothersome, there's nothing I could do about it as I didn't realize it until after filming. Just use your imagination and pretend the Rift connection between Yharnam and current day Arkham Sanitarium is on the fritz. But believe me, it's no excuse and you deserve better, especially as fans of the game and Souls series. Tingle on, E.R.

In my subjective view, ASMR is 2 things: a sensation and a medium (like music for example). The sensation itself (ASMR) stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current (non-scientific) name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering and personal attention. ASMR videos, the medium, are not only meant to help induce the sensation or "tingles", but also help provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer while helping to relieve their anxiety, stress, headaches, insomnia, to help those suffering with PTSD or depression, to serve as a study aid and much more. It is quite therapeutic, for both the creator and recipient, not much different than the mediums of music and painting. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy affect.
