I love Dark Souls, and now I love the game and it's director Hidetaka Miyazaki even more. I just read an article about something that definitely made me laugh. When the game was first coming out Miyazaki gave an interview to Famitsu magazine. In the article they were discussing some of the "starting items" you can select when you create a character. Most of these have clear descriptions of what they offer as a bonus, but one mysterious item listed was a subject of discussion for a long time now. The Pendant. Miyazaki in the interview commented that for him personally he'd take "the pendant or nothing at all". This sent the internet into a frenzy for quite a while. Wh…

Very weird. So apparently I can't check out the Xbox Live Arcade section of our forums? Password protected?

Woo hoooo! Wow, we're all getting old. Can't believe I've known you since you were like 18 hahaha. Have a great birthday dude.

Our main page will be down for a time today. Something went wrong on the back end. I have IP.Board Support looking into it right now. Seems to have went to hell when I upgraded. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/04/18/officials-helicopter-crashes-iraq/ Unfortunately it was our guys that went down. None of the pilots or crewcheifs were severely injured but the passengers got banged up pretty good and sadly, there was one fatality. Environmental conditions are the main cause for the crash. They came in to land and got dusted out and lost sight of the ground, landed crooked and rolled over. Just wanted to ask for support for the family of the soldier we lost. My prayers go out to him. They held the ramp ceremony last night and sent him home this morning. Hopefully he makes it without delay due to all the volcanic ash.

It's awesome.

Topic says it all. Does anyone have a spare code that I can give to one of my good friends in the UK? I'm not home right now, otherwise I'd try to look to see if I had one kicking around the house.

I see that this title doesn't have the Live logo on the cover. I was really looking forward to running this on my quad core. So what's the story on why this isn't going to be released for Games Windows Live when the first one was. Looks like Kane and Lynch 2 will be burning up my optical drive in my 360 S instead...

Last night went from a successful night in computers to worst than to horrific! First off, I installed my 2nd cd-rom drive on my older computer Then my brother tells me theres a computer that I can have if I just hook all the parts on the inside back up, I said I was fine with that and I hooked everything up, powered her up and no screen. After examining it for a long time, looks like the motherboard, video card, or hard-drive has gone bad. Motherboard - that particular one retails for almost $400 on amazon or newegg can't remember which one I saw it through. Moving on, my computer (never opened or touched until things went bad) decided to give me an amber light and 2 bee…

Two major British retailers are threatening to ban the selling of games tied to Steam and are demanding that publishers remove Steam from their game or suffer the consequences. According to MCV, the two retailers who are unknown at this point are claiming that Steam is ruining the PC market and that Valve has created a monster.
