Did you know the sequel to one of the most wondrous and ridiculously difficult gaming experiences ever is coming out this week? Perhaps, if you're one of the lucky folk over in America, you've already got your hands on Dark Souls 2 and have died about sixty times already in your pursuit of gaming supremacy. In honour of the release of Dark Souls 2, I thought there was no better time than to return to the first game and conquer it again for the umpteenth time. Despite my status as a bit of a Dark Souls veteran whose explored most nooks and crannies of Lordran, even to this day I'm still subject to dying in the most ridiculous, pathetic ways possible after completely misjudging an attack or getting too cocky for my own good. But what are the 10 stupidest ways we've all died over and over again in Dark Souls? Sometimes your own worst enemy in this game is your own fingers, betraying you and forcing you into a death that so could have easily been avoided. Of course other times in the game your own worst enemy is the brutal game designers who crafted such a wonderful abusive masterpiece. Join us on an adventure through Lordran as we remember fondly all those times we died and chucked our controllers around the room in frustration.
