Hmm, I'm guessing you guys all bought it during the steam sale... I was actually torn between it and MW3. (sort of, it did not take me long to pick MW3, namely because buying it later would be meaningless, as most people would be playing the next COD and I'd have wasted 30-60 bucks and missed out on any multiplayer, as Black Ops players have clearly died down.)

I'm getting back into Dark Souls. My brother finally started playing it and he just managed to be Taurus Demon yesterday. He was pretty pumped because I could tell he almost going to give up. After a while Dark Souls just kind of "clicks" and you understand how to play it without dying so much. But yeah I've been running a new character around, helping people with bosses and shit. I'm rolling with like 7 humanity at the moment which isn't much but it's the most I've ever had.


Also Hero Bash make sure you use Dwarf Therapist, it makes managing your dwarfs like a million times easier. It's seriously a must-use program for DF.

Yeah man I totally agree. I liked Demon's Souls a lot and I've been playing Dark Souls since day 1, but I went on hiatus for a bit because I had a bunch of other games I wanted to play. It's hard to get back into it, I guess.

But I was worried because for about 3 days he was stuck in the Burg (understandable). I could tell on the phone that he was rushing, not paying attention, not blocking or being aware enough, and he was reaching those rage-levels where someone just throws the controller down or possibly worse. But anyway he stuck with it and yesterday while I was at work he sent me a text that was like "I FUCKING DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Feels good man. Didn't even have to help him with the boss.

So now I'm literally pumped to play it. I'll probably play my new char with my bro for a while, then hop on my original character and finish up Sen's Fortress soon. I'm still kind of early in the game anyway. Haven't beat Sen's, only did Moonlight Butterfly in Darkroot, the Stray Demon, didn't get the Hydra in the Great Hollow (but I did get the other one, by Havel). So I still have quite a ways to go. So much fun though, I fucking LOVE THIS GAME!!

Also I love the sound in the game. There's something so mesmerizing about jogging around in the chain armors... like the Silver Knight's, it just makes the most satisfying sounds I've heard, I can't describe it. Pretty superb game.
