Dark Souls leaves you with the intimate knowledge of when to roll out of the way of an ogre's club swing." Funnily enough, Dark Souls has all of that except the debt part. AND it teaches you when to roll out of the way of an ogre's club swing. http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/gaming/2012/02/dark_souls_review_is_a_100_hour_video_game_ever_worthwhile_.html Erik Kain's Rebuttal Good ole Erik here said a lot of stuff about Thomsen so that I don't have to. Thanks. I don't always agree with everything Erik has to say, but he gets a lot more points from me than Thomsen does. http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/04/01/is-dark-souls-a-100-hour-waste-of-time/ Insane Difficulty This community is truly unreal. The main focus is on modding classic games to make them more challenging, and then doing video playthroughs. The members of the community make and test the mods together. There's all kinds of other amazing stuff going on at ID as well. Highly recommended. http://www.insanedifficulty.com/board/ Mode7 The M7 is a newer and smaller community than ID, and has a different focus as well. It really grew up around an amazing core of Dark Souls challenge players, and a lot of the site is dedicated to sharing and discussing challenges. The people here are also ridiculously friendly and intelligent. What M7 lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality... 7fold! http://mode7.ch/ Hip-hop by Windmills You know, I recently checked out the new Aesop track. I loved it, and I listened to it several times. And then, for some reason, I went back to listening to the Windmills. I really do love these bros that much. It's brighter than your clothes. http://windmills.bandcamp.com/ Challenge hosted by KDZEN (thanks Ray!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Lgo0HMqtI ENB Challenges in ARABIC (thanks GameOver!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnfCMQz6y6w And finally... Lore. Do you really not know this guy!? Most of his stuff is on ZAM these days, not his channel, so I'm linking Tankspot. His stuff is almost always on the front page. http://www.tankspot.com/ And, yes, I know there's no evidence that Henry Ford really said it. It doesn't matter.
