Hi, The Dude back with the weekly installment of gaming stuff. Quite week as everyone seems to be in a holding pattern till E3.

Maybe it's me but hearing a Namco PR dude say "balls deep" just makes me shake my head when talking about the upcoming Dark Souls 2. It's not a new phrase of course and some people at Riot (biggest game in the world, League of Legends) say it occasionally but something about a legit publisher just doesn't sit well. And of course the full quote is more hilarious for a PR dude than just saying balls deep: "We're going to go balls-deep and guns-blazing with it, and hope to God that it works," he continued." And as a hardcore fan of FROM (for the love of Christ, give me a new Otogi or Metal Wolf Chaos as US President Michael Wilson hasn't kicked enough ass in his mech) but they're not exactly a dev that should have a lot of cash put behind them in the west for advertising because as much as I love them, they don't have the technical grace of something on the level of a AAA game. I just see a massive advertising budget hurting them.

And as much as I would love to just embed this gif from SunhiLegend from NeoGaf, I can't in good conscious throw a 15 meg gif into this post but damn is it good and sums up Nintendo.
