I have started recording with Demon's Souls again and once more made significant progress in my first new sitting.
I have kind of a mess to sort out with the encoding and recording but I feel more confident about getting this out before the end of 2012. After I do so, I'll probably skip Darksiders 2 and immediately begin Dark Souls. The reasoning for this is because I want them to patch out all the garbage with DS2.
Demon's Souls recording is finished with a violent, sticky, enraging climax.
I expect processing to take a long time as I plan to re-verify all existing encoded material (I know there's edits I skipped like a lazy fuck) and due to the enormous quantity of material I have to encode and sort out still.
My plan is to focus on this when I am able, and await the PC content for Dark Souls to hit the PS3 so I can start that ASAP.
HKS has informed me that they are charging for the Dark Souls PS3 patch. I say fuck DLC so I'll either skip that (and begin when my HD space clears up) or consider just acquiring the PC version and trying to run it with a controller.
