If you've been following his twitter today, you'll realize that he's become obsessed with DS and has even given up Arkham City to have more time with it.

It all started with this faithful tweet yesterday...

Pshh. I give him a couple hours tops. I look forward to hearing him telling us why it sucks on next weeks bombcast.

So , when are we holding his funeral?

Cool, always nice to see when people get really immersed in a game.

nice, looking forward to next weeks bombcast now!

THIS, made my day!

I don't like anything Demon Souls/Dark Souls stands for, but I'll try it out if Brad ends up liking it.

Knowing his history with blaming everything but himself when he dies this will go bad fast.

God twitter is obnoxious, as was that tweet. Good luck Brad, haha.

The Bell Gargoyles are when I really started to have some trouble with the game. Fight took me about six tries before I got it down. Wonder how Brad will do there.

This will not happen, I would bet money on it. Brad likes hard games, eventhough he has a weird reputation because of his Quick Looks.

I agree. Brad had great taste for games. He knew a game is a good game when it's challenging and fair.

Don't forget that he beat Super Meat Boy, and he loved it. He also completed Arkham Asylum challenge mode. He's totally a competent gamer.

But I still feel angry when I think of the quick look of Shadow of the Colossus. :-P

I'd totally watch the different staff members make video diaries of their doings in Dark Souls, honestly.

I'm interested in hearing if Brad could hang with Dark Souls.

This is a great idea! Make it so, bombcats.

I think Brad could like Dark Souls a lot. I still don't get why Vinny gets so angry about that game, but maybe I will find out soon.

I love Brad, I really do, but I don't expect him to be full of praise for Dark Souls to be honest, and I can't blame him.

I don't think any of the GB staff has the time to really dive into that game with both feet, especially not now, when there are so many big releases on the horizon that need to be played and reviewed. And I think we all know that Dark Souls is somewhat of a slow burn, especially to newcomers in the series.

Kessler on the other hand, apparently has all the free time in the world. His Twitter feed has been 99% Dark Souls related in the last month, and he seems to be really loving this game.

Hope Brad likes it, I know Vinny gets angry when playing but I think there is something there that keeps him playing. Its a tough game that requires alot of time and concentration. So Brad may not stick with it, hopefully he is in deep when Dark Souls 2 comes out :D

I hope at least one from the Bombcrew likes that game, so it can have some defense against Ryan and Jeff's hate towards it.
