    What Are You Playing Now?

    Dark Souls: I'm taking a break from this game because I'm getting sloppy and thus will have this break to shape up for the fight with Manus.

    I entirely agree. I've made my way to start working on "Manus the Father of the Abyss" and he is most certainly a tough bastard even if I'm slowly figuring him out.

    What Are You Playing Now?
