Friday: Trunks has already burnt through all the submissions. Cue another month long hiatus.

Nope. Maybe through next Monday. But as long as we keep getting (GOOD) submissions in, I'll keep posting them.

Otherwise I'll start posting the bad ones.

As long as it doesn't involve Kratos with Starburst backgrounds I won't mind.

I got to be mission support for someone playing it. I got to be on the laptop browsing the wiki while they played.
Hey, I did my time beating Demon's Souls on someone else's console, so I wasn't going back into that.

Dark Souls is actually more fair to the player than Demon's Souls (although it has a fair share of difficult spots). It's one of my favorite games because it actually gives the player a good challenge, but can always be beat so long as you are methodical and don't rush in blindly. That is, unless you fight Bed of Chaos... *shudder*

A lot.

There's three videos. Watch them all. They're hilarious.

It takes him until the Darkroot Basin to realize how to use miracles.

Then he says "I'M FINALLY GETTING THE HANG OF THIS GAME"... then immediately walks off a ledge and dies.

I've seen the guys videos before. Honestly, I'm not sure if he is just faking being bad or not. Cause I've played a fair share of Dark Souls, and I can't fathom anyone legitimately being THAT bad.

He is just that bad.

His Dark Souls playthrough suggests that it's not exactly his fault. There is clearly something mentally wrong with him.

What surprises me is that people actually still believe he's not doing this on purpose to get a rise out of his audience.

If he didn't, he would be responding to criticism more often with something other than his usual "instant death nothing I could do", and more directly too. Not to mention he keeps it up for a bunch of his playthroughs, and he strangely seems to know what he's doing whenever he wants to.
He can grind off screen in Dark Souls and not ragequit but he's apparently still bad enough to make the most basic mistakes. And he knows that Electromagnetic Grenades work on Monsoon with hardly any effort to finding that out but still has no grasp on the basic mechanics? And apparently he's so defensive to the fact the games he plays always has a fault that pushes nothing to his favor in every situation yet can never go into depth with it even once in the slightest bit aside from his normal "complaints".
And people hate how he plays, and he seems to hate playing games so much himself, yet he keeps making more videos. I wonder why that could possibly be!

Well, I actually felt from comparison to what I was seeing that the "graduation point" of Dark Souls ramped of the difficulty a lot more than Demon's Souls ever did.
Sen's Fortress did a jump similar to the same jump I went through on accident back in Demon's Souls where I refused to learn magic for World 3 and tackled World 4 instead. However, Dark never made you go out of your way to shape your character like Demon's did. Sure, you needed to get some ranged on you eventually, but it never felt as enforced.
I also felt like running a full level in Dark was just a bit longer than Demon's, but that's probably the hub world vs interconnected issue.

As much as I'd like to see both succeed, I'd actually have preferred to see the Shantae kickstarter not have its money stolen by MN9.

Shantae at 1.2 million dollars would have given us three new story modes, full voice acting, new costumes, and some other neat things.

MN9 at 1.2 million dollars gives us two extra stages. At least we'll be getting a lot with all those broken stretch goals but still...

I'm not the only one that thought Dark Souls wasn't super difficult am I?

Anor Londo was my favorite area and I only died once before Drake and Josh, and I made it through the game just fine using the Drake Sword for 85% of the game knowing it would be an awful endgame weapon.
