Awesome PV.Title: ビフォーアフター, Before AfterProducer: 164PV: イケシマ Genre: PopVocaloid: 初音ミクKenn's Comment: The PV is gorgeous. You'll probably recognize 164's name from last week when I put up a collab with 40mP (1640mP).

Ah yes. This is what Hell looks like. A painful, frustrating hell.So, Dark Souls came out a few days ago and it's a good thing I had it preordered (who wouldn't have it preordered?) because the shop apparently sold out of copies before 3pm. Preordering got you upgraded to the 'deluxe edition', but it unfortunately doesn't exactly live up to that deluxe part.Regardless...
