This one’s for the nerds.
Demon’s Souls, like any RPG, allows you to advance experience levels. It does it via this lady here, the Maiden in Black. Every time you approach her, this is her actual prompt. ”Then touch the Demon inside me.” I thought it funny. So did Carter.
Only the true nerds will get that title, though.
BTW – When looking for reference to draw the Maiden in Black, I came across this:
Seems everybody likes to sex up that which ain’t so sexy. I know, I know. I can hear you now, internet guy…
About the game itself…
Demon’s Souls is hard. Well, it’s tough. It’s unforgiving really. It’s not that doing the things you are supposed to do is difficult. No, it’s that, if you fail, you are punished severely. There’s even a boss that, no shit, hits you with a certain attack that causes you to lose 3 xp levels. Let me put that in perspective. I have been playing for 14 hours and I am at level 38 xp. Is it starting to become clear? Ridiculous.
That’s not to say it isn’t fun. It is. I am addicted. But the game does very little to communicate things to you. If you do plan on playing this game, I suggest reading the ENTIRE Demon’s Souls wiki first. I made the mistake of consuming a major demon’s soul for currency, only to find out later that you need that soul to create the best bow in the game. Can you get another of that soul? Can you find another like it? No and no. Start over.
Eff.

The Internet Guy companion comic made me laugh out loud. I think its brilliant.

My friend traded in Demon's Souls after about 2 weeks of dying. Both I and the guy cashing us out were afraid to buy, NAY, play the thing ourselves.
But I do agree with the wiki suggestion, I used a similar methos for Fallout 3 to get all the rare and unique items. *Spoiler* The Operation: Anchorage add-on has the best loot and rewardsof the whole game. Fo realz.

The internet kinda looks like the Pillsbury dough boy

But what about the Alien Blaster? That is available for you to find at any time and offers one hit kills for the majority of the game! True, it is not armor. That point cannot be disputed.
….
You could get lots of them and cover yourself in alien blasters!?!?!!? No. No, that's just dumb.

I liked the main strip, it was funny, but that Internet Guy one made me actually laugh out loud – and I don’t mean that lame “LOL” crap either, which when used means that person actually didn’t laugh at all, they’re just trying to make you feel better.
“Sex up that which ain’t so sexy” – so true.

Always good to see you 'round these parts, Bannen.

Alien Blaster is cool, I managed to get 2 (main game and the broken steel add-on). So I could make an alien blaster codpiece.
The O:A add-on nets you an almost indestructible winterized power armor, and electric sword, the sneaking suit (MGS-ish much). I turn invisible and stab people. It's swell.
