Remember that absolute lunatic who decided to take on some of the toughest Dark Souls boss fights using a Rock Band guitar instead of a controller? Well, as it turns out, that madness wasn’t challenging enough for them.

Now YouTube user gbbearzly is taking on these boss fights using a Rock Band drum set. That’s right, drums! You can see a couple of the videos below.

The Dark Souls games are already some of the hardest games ever crafted, and yet fans, for some incomprehensible reason, are always looking for new ways to increase the challenge (because Dark Souls fans take great pleasure in inflicting large amounts of pain and suffering on their own psychological makeup).

One such fan of questionable motives decided one day that he wanted to take on the Souls games using a Rock Band guitar as a controller. You can check out a few videos of his efforts against some tough boss fights in the videos below.

The official Gamescom 2014 gameplay demo for Bloodborne, the latest game from the makers of Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, and Dark Souls II, has found its way online. It runs about six minutes in length.

While fans of the games will notice that Bloodborne is set in an entirely different Victorian era-inspired nightmare of a location than the more fantastical (but still nightmarish) locations found in the Souls games, they will also notice just how similar the actual gameplay looks to those previous games.

You can find out more about the game and check out the gameplay demo as well as a trailer below.

One of the many things the folks behind the Dark Souls games do well, is cinematics. This truth is reaffirmed in a new trailer for their upcoming sequel, Dark Souls II.

The trailer opens with a dark and rainy cinematic sequence before moving into various shots of gameplay action…shots that remind anyone who’s planning to play the game just what they’re in for: pain. Lots of pain. And death, of course. Plenty of death.

OK, so you’re not likely to actually die whilst ordering food from this Dark Souls-themed cafe—that may have been a bit dramatic—but anyone who has played it knows that it would be fitting considering the game’s difficulty and constant deaths, even during the tutorial (NSFW), and the fact that they even released a “Prepare to Die” edition not too long ago.

The cafe is in Japan and in collaboration with OZ Cafe, and is only for a limited time. The cafe, which features Dark Souls-themed foods, drinks (including Estus flask beverages!), and decor, will run until April.

If you’re like most of us and can’t make it to the cafe, be sure to head on over to the other side now to see some images it looks like!
