Dark Souls - Oscar, Knight of Astora

I've been playing through Dark Souls for the past month or so… oh man have my skills been shamed playing that game.  I'm even using the strategy guide, plus playing off-line (so no random PvP) and it has been a slog.

Despite the constant frustration, it has been a lot of fun and quite the learning experience.

I'm probably reading too much into it, but I love the sense of dread while exploring a new area, meeting NPC's and watching the majority of them succumb to the evil that is eating the land, and just trying to figure out what the hell is going on and if I'm making things better or worse.

I'm hooked.
