Secret Message in Cyberpunk 2077 Teaser Trailer: The Witcher 3 Announced on Feb 5th

CD Projekt RED published Cyberpunk 2077 Teaser Trailer today Jan 10th, 2013.
IGN did a nice analysis on it.

Absolutely fantastic trailer. Amazing in fact.

I'm excited about Cyberpunk 2077. But it'll be a while before it comes out. They say it on the video, they just hid it really well.

And that brings me to the things that gets me more excited...

In the "hidden text" at ~ 2:14 (screenshot below, click for full size):

"And that's not all that's new. We are about to reveal our other project, which is much closer to being completed and yes, it will also be a fully open-world game with an intense story. You can probably guess the game we're talking about. On the 5th of February it will all be clear"

...

Let's look at that again:

...

The Witcher 3, right?

"Which is much closer to being completed"

I don't about you, but I love CD Projekt RED. I really do. I wasn't sure before, but with The Witcher, GOG.com and stuff like this... Best game developer. Period.

EDIT: Sure enough, it's now confirmed. The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is coming:

Let's Play Dark Souls

Let's play Dark Souls. I've played the game before on XBox 360, but I've never beaten the game. I've only played up to Sen's Fortress, but never stepped in there. Now, I want to see if I can do it.


My goals for this Dark Souls playthrough: Have fun, overcome the challenges, beat the game, get engaged in jolly co-operation and (not) get whooped (too much) in PvP. I know the early part of the game fairly well, but after I reach Sen's Fortress, the LP will be blind - although I've watched plenty of Dark Souls LPs, but anyway, no first hand experience.

I plan to create a "Faith Build", focus on casting miracles and using Divine/Occult weapons. I also plan to join the Warriors of Sunlight covenant, aka Sunbros, to get some nice miracles (lighting spear), but also to do plenty of co-op. Later on, I might become Darkmoon Blade, at least for a while, to get them Darkmoon spells/gear. Those are the initial plans anyway :)

In the first video, I create my character (starting class: Cleric, item: Master Key), escape the Undead Asylum and arrive in Lordran and Firelink Shrine.

Starting this LP was also very much inspired by PlumpHelmetPunk and his Dark Souls LP, and Aavak's Dark Souls LP when I catched up with Plump's. Watching their LPs just made me want to play the game again too much not to :)

In addition to those two gentleman, I've enjoyed a lot and learned lots about Dark Souls from the videos of EpicNameBro and Vageta311.

I play Dark Souls on a PC with Razer Onza Tournament Edition controller. The shoulder buttons are somewhat clicky/loud, but it's fantastic, high-quality controller, which works for both PC and XBox 360.
