Ugh... October issue of Hobby Japan... I want the Caledvwlch but the magazine is going to cost as much as a full HG kit. ; ;

Namco talks Dark Souls 2 marketing: "we're treating this as a massive, massive triple-A title"
Would like to attract Skyrim players, but series fans are the focus
Namco played it safe with the original Dark Souls marketing budget, and with good reason - this, after all, is the game that takes pride in being inaccessible. According to PR director Lee Kirton, however, the publisher has no qualms about blowing the bank on Dark Souls 2.
"The good thing this time round is we're investing more in it from a marketing perspective," Kirton told OXM at a preview event in London today. "With Dark Souls and [PS3-exclusive spiritual predecessor] Demon Souls it was very focused, small-scale. We're treating this as a massive, massive triple-A title."
"We're going to go guns-blazing with it, and hope to God that it works," he continued. "We're going after people who love and adore Dark Souls, while hopefully widening the net a little. I'm not saying that every Skyrim player's going to be jumping on Dark Souls, but it would be nice if some of them did. It's a different game, sure."
Aoife says that Dark Souls 2 is considerably tougher than the original. Her recent feature also suggests that the time-honoured aphorism "the only good dragon is a dead dragon" doesn't always hold water.
Rather amusingly/unnervingly, alternative titles for Dark Souls once proposed by developer From Software include "Dark Race" and "Dark Ring" - thanks to CVG for the insight there.

I wouldn't call the souls series difficult, it just punishes stubborn players.

SEED's has already finished, but Destiny's is currently airing. They're all uploaded onto the GundamInfo Youtube channel as they air.

Simpler times, Josi. Now they're either obscure pictures of Pokemanz or threads from 4chan.
Hmm, one post away from 16,000. Better think of something awesome.

So I've been playing Dragon's Dogma for the past week or so, maybe a bit more.
I have yet had my pawn be rented once >.> I don't know why either.
I know that DD players can't rent from DD: Dark Arisen players, but DA players can rent DD players.
That might be part of the issue since I'm playing DA, but I find it strange that she hasn't been rented out even once.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
