Dark Souls is a sure thing, DkSII is not out yet but I'm sure it will be good. I would put my money on getting the original for cheaper on sale or used. This way you can find out for yourself if you would like paying full price for a sequel. The single player experience is strong on its own and I can promise you the asynchronous multiplayer is not going anywhere because the Demon's Souls community is still active to this day. Heck you can get both Demon's souls and Dark souls for the combined price of roughly $16 used on sale through Amazon. (links provided)

Story wise your probably not missing out on much by playing DkS2 because I think the second game is divorced enough in time. That being said the lore of the first game is amazing. You would definitely missing out on a work of art if you don't play the original Souls games by Hidetaka Miyazaki. Here is a great write up about DkS that I feel you should read.

I suppose a more accurate term would be aerobics, but it can be slower paced and has more focus on stretching and balance, feels more like yoga to me. As far as I know it's not a widespread thing, I stumbled across a book about it when we were looking to mix up the fitness routine a little. The book demonstrates poses with wooden katanas but we rather like the extra work of real steel.

Here's the book if you're interested: http://www.amazon.com/Forza-Samurai-Sword-Workout-High-Intensity/dp/1569754780

Be warned its not a weight loss thing, it's more upper-body core strengthening with a focus on... focus and hand/mind/eye coordination.

I don't know how attached you are to PS3 controllers, but you can but an xbox controller pretty cheap. I got the wireless for PC version for 20-30ish about 2 years ago, and it's still in great condition. Right now you can get a wired one on amazon for 35. http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-360-Controller-Windows/dp/B004QRKWLA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419055172&sr=8-1&keywords=xbox+controller+for+pc&pebp=1419055427639

Any 360 wireless pad works (even if it came with your Xbox), but you need a special dongle for the PC. There used to be an official one, but it's hard to find these days and I believe is no longer in production. There are 3rd party ones available, however.

I have the official one so I can't speak for these, but it seems like the second one (though more expensive) has better reviews. It might be worth the few extra bucks since I've heard of some of the third party ones fail randomly.

The term "Clearly communicated to the player" and the souls series dont even inhabit the same universe. Half the fun are those "OHHHH, I see ..." moments.

The select button is there to help you out. Thats why it says "Help". If you need more help than that: http://www.amazon.com/Souls-Collectors-Edition-Strategy-Guide/dp/0744015472

It's fantastic, absolutely worth the money IMO. It's only $20 on Amazon here:

That's the link from ENB's video detailing the guide.

It does only have thumbnails for the weapons, but they're pretty good sized, and it also includes all the item descriptions as well.

The walkthrough section is great - the maps in particular are extremely handy. It also includes a section detailing every enemy and boss for each area.

For negatives, it suffers from the occasional bit of outdated information, which is common to basically all hardcopy guides nowadays. I've also noticed a few typos and misspellings, but that's more of aesthetic quibble.

Nope, sold separately. It's a really nice guide. Hardbound, awesome artwork, really well done.

Found [here on Amazon] (http://www.amazon.com/Souls-Collectors-Edition-Strategy-Guide/dp/0744015472/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396453470&sr=8-1&keywords=dark+souls+2+collectors+guide)

XB1 controllers don't use Bluetooth, and as of now there are no USB wireless receivers for PC that support XB1 controllers.

I use this with an XBox 360 controller to play Dark Souls (and most of my steam library), and it works great.

The best option, all things considered, is to just get a wired Xbox 360 controller. It has almost universal support across all modern PC games, and you will have to do little to no configuring ever to make it work.

only for games that are highly frame dependant, such as fighters like Street Fighter or Guilty Gear. For a game Like Dark Souls you'll be fine using wireless.

Apparently the price of these has dropped significantly from what I remeber

That should be exactly what you're looking for.

Hey I was just thinking of getting that. Would you recommend this controller or would the regular nunchuck and controller combo work just fine?

You are right, it does look like the console price has come down significantly. In fact, you can get it new for $17.75US from Amazon right now. So it would actually be cheaper to buy it now.

Oh! Well they have it on Steam, which is where I got it. If you don't like steam for some reason, then here is another choice.

That was all PC pricing. Check Amazon in the US.

Just a heads up, it is currently stocked again. Expensive, but not crazy expensive.

That isn't a munny figure? Or did you custom sculpt this from the ground up
Ps

Edit I now realize that it's a munny figure
So shouldn't his head be detachable

Oh, hah, gotcha. TaB is a brand of soda, its been around for a while, and you can buy it on Amazon.

That's odd, I can't find it on the US amazon. Wonder what the deal is...

This is for your raging butthurt...hope it helps!

The Dark Souls 2 guide from Future Press has everything in the book not including DLC and the upcoming game update on February 5th. You can get it on Amazon right now for less than $20.

This is the only written source to date... if you ignore the wiki's poor form in lore. Because not only is it hard to look through but there is just endless spelling, grammar errors and the people who wrote it on the site don't know how to actually write very well.

Both amazon and wal-mart have had it for $29.99 for weeks, but only for console...

Maybe it's just a sale, but I've been stalking this game for trying to find a deal, and it's driving me crazy.

I feel your pain. I'll be looking into importing from the UK. Here's the link by the way.

Quoting my previous armor post :)

>Okay! so I use EVA foam

1: cut a headband that fits too loose on my head.

2: cut out a rough shape of the visor and trim it down to size, flip the shape, trace it, and cut that one out.

3: glue the pieces on

4: Using the broiler on low, I placed a small sheet of foam in the oven for 45 seconds and pressed it against a porcelain bowl to get the dome (the band on top with the "rivets" was done by pressing the nozzle of the hot glue gun into it., plume is fabric I shredded)

5: Then I chopped at it a lot and made a bunch of nicks and cuts. Sprayed it all black, then sprayed a dull silver onto a dry brush and painted with that (leaves the little cuts and nicks black) Then did the same with a chrome to give the scratches.

Good luck!

You sure can but you might have a hard time locking on, gesturing, and jumping

But hell, you could even use an N64 controller or skip the adapter and buy one with USB. You can also do that with the GC controller!

If you're literally insane you could get an Atari Jaguar controller for PC
