The Interconnected World of Dark Souls 1

     When you first start playing Dark Souls (1) one of the first areas that you're able to go to is Firelink Shrine. ( pictured right ) this area is a lot of peoples favorite 'hub' areas in the game. One of the reasons that Firelink Shrine is such an influential area is in Dark Souls 1 they intentionally limited the soundtrack, there isn't music playing in the background at all times so when it does it's a big deal. When you first enter Firelink Shrine you may not even notice the music but then you find shortcut after shortcut leading back to Firelink Shrine. The music plays once again and you're finally able to feel safe again because nothing can hurt you here.

In Dark Souls lore, if you give up in the game you go hollow. It's essentially the games way of saying you're mindless (and bad). I felt that this was a good name for the blog because I'm not good at these games in any shape way or form, people have beaten Dark Souls (1) using a Dance Dance Revolution pad and I simply do not  have the patience

Queen of Fashion Souls

  In the Dark Souls community there's a bit of a running joke that when you're able to have nice armor and look cool or good it's called your fashion soul. I felt that my fashion soul was definitely the best in Dark Souls 2! I had a bit of help getting my fancy armor and my power stance-d Blacksteel Katanas but it was fun nonetheless!     Remember, don't go hollow!     - Autumn
