After becoming somewhat self-conscious of my time invested in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin recently (216 hours and still counting in NG++ chasing the pyromancy achievement...) for amusement I decided to collate a comedic oriented thread on a classic theme.
You know you've played too much Dark Souls when:
1. Every important threshold in your life brings a crashing sound and gothic embossed lettering of the new location's name, resounds across your vision.
2. Opening the curtains to warm flickering light in the morning makes you murmur "Praise the Sun".
3. You give anxious evil stares to people dressed in red; cheerfully wave at those in full navy blue.
4. Whilst consuming a packet of "Twisties", one chews thoughtfully before thinking "I just ate part of the Xanthous set".
5. You start randomly dropping stones in anything resembling a birds nest.
6. You start writing cryptic advice for people in the middle of the street in orange chalk (waiting in anticipation for the person to write "liar" after you)
7. Anything resembling a fire pit brings tremendous exaltation and comfort whilst their extinction draws great tension.
8. Combat in any other third person cRPG simply feels inadequate by comparison...
9. You start doing circles around your boss in the office, looking for openings, strategic weaknesses, rolling backwards whenever they try to step near you...
10. You make sure to hit your chest or drawer before opening it for clothes in the morning...
Watchers and fellow fans, feel free to add your own or indeed share your own tales of crazy souls investment! Have fun and keep chugging the estus.
