(Part 2) Top products from r/darksouls

If you have a lot a lot of money, figure out a way to import the trilogy edition of the Dark Souls remaster from Japan. I think it may only be for PS4 but it comes with all the games and a lot of great goodies. Otherwise if money is tighter there are some amazing Art Books (design works) you can buy online. Dark Souls 1 to 3 (3 comes out in August) with some absolutely stunning artwork from the game.

  Some other neat ideas if he does not already have them would be the Dark Souls 2 & 3 Collectors Edition. Now these do break the bank at around $200-300 a piece (I think you can buy both for $400 USD combined) but the statues they come with are absolutely beautiful.

Yeah, you have to download the app. Sorry! :(

EDIT: To answer your question, I'm mildly extremely inebriated, but I'm using a Black Magic Intensity Pro for capturing the game content. Xsplit is currently a free program (in beta!) that will stream straight to twitch.tv. Hope that answers your question! If not, I'll answer when I'm sober. In the morning. Hopefully.

EDIT AGAIN: This was essentially what got me to stream: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=309480 He pretty much lays out all the choices and alternatives for individuals that want to stream console games.

Better yet, buy a wireless controller.

http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-Wireless-Controller-Windows/dp/B004QRKWKQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345477894&sr=8-1&keywords=controller for windows

The dongle the controller comes with connects up to 4 360 controllers wirelessly. Perfect for PC games that play better with controllers and emulating old games with multiplayer. (Turtles in Time? Xmen Arcade?)

While there will probably be rudimentary mouse and keyboard controls just like other xbox ports, I highly recommend buying a wired xbox (or xbox knock-off) controller for your PC. There are so many games that just play better on controller and as an avid PC gamer I believe this is one of them.

this controller is what I use for example.

I'm not sure then. You'd think it's just install drivers and be all plug & play since it's all Microsoft.

Depending on how much you play games on the PC, you could invest in a controller for it. Personally, I would avoid anything but an "xbox for PC" controller, as I've heard prople having issues with other games when using non-xbox controllers.

Something like this should do the trick. There's also wired ones that are $10 cheaper.

There is also this item, which is a wireless receiver that claims to work with an Xbox controller, which will allow you to use it with your PC. Upside, it's like $12. Downside, it's 3rd party. In theory, it should work, but YMMV. I've only used the one that came with mine.

My theory:

In this regard "wild" corresponds with "desire" from DS2.

The counterpart "corrupt" corresponds with "greed".

This also makes sense in regards to Artorias' "Will of Steel" because a will of steel describes a resistence to greed but not desire and you can consider Manus as a manifestation of desire an unfavorable match up.

The will of steel is likely a reference to Romance novel from Diana Palmer.

A story about a cowboy who didn't budge for the temptations of money, but eventually found the love of his life.

> A quick edit here: There's also the theory of Dusk being mixed with Pygmy's soul, being her transformed in Manus. This theory uses, in example, the fact that all the statues of Oolacile are defaced, combined with her royalty status, to claim that she entered the chasm of the abyss, she was beset by the dark there, and was transformed into Manus, bringing then the Abyss. I think it's a theory pretty acceptable, too.

I actually consider this theory the strongest because this explains quite well why a man such as Artorias with his unbendable will of steel was overcome by the abyss.

Not to mention, figures in the world of dark souls tend to live quite long and with Cairan and Artorias both being members of the four knights of Gwyns and the several hundreds of years of chance ...well you get the gist of it. Gough DOES mention that Oolacile was "our entire land" but it is unclear to me if he means it to be their territory or their native land.

> "I suspect thou hast taken a gander at it,
But the Dark of the Abyss, which swallowed poor Artorias, threatens to devour our entire land of Oolacile."

Artorias could have held feelings for another, but I'll leave the likelyhood of such a thing to your own interpretation.

> But of course it isn't clear either that there was anything bad about the primeval man before the people of Oolacile messed him up. So the ambiguity of the Frampt/Kaathe conflict remains. But I am just saying that if you call one side's products corrupt then maybe you are leaning toward the other side being right, when the game doesn't really say at all which side is right.

There is no real "right" side. That is what politics are about. You make decisions based on what you consider most needed. Ideals can easily be shattered by the shortcoming of whatever system you introduce.

Yeah, that's going to be a HELLA expensive frame. I'd look into bulldog clips like these for hanging it:

I just got a controller with a fan in it off amazon, and love it. I was planning on getting a controller just for Dark Souls, but then the Steam summer sale happened...

Carve? Just buy a bunch of these and break them into small pieces to hand out.

This one's pretty good

It reminds me of this. The song "Hot Shot City" is particularly good.

Could it be by any chance this sword?

By the way, how heavy is it?
