The single most terrifying thing to ever happen to me in Dark Souls.

So, I was wadding through the depths, on my way back to Peter Andre to have my zaphander upgraded to +10. I remembered I still needed to grab the large ember so I gandered over to my good friend, the butcher. He seemed hungry, so I gave him and his dog a nice healthy portion of the afterlife. I sauntered over to the chest, and opened it up, my nether regions stimulated in gentle anticipation... and to my utmost surprise, there was nothing in the chest. I laughed it off, thinking it was just hiding on me, but five minutes later the ember had still not appeared. After I screamed incoherently at the butcher's lifeless body for a few minutes, I had the novel idea of quitting and reloading the game, and BAM! There it was, sitting in the chest. I shooped it up and bippity bopped my way to Undead Parish, and that's the story of how Deadpool became the chosen undead!

Apparently I can't post gifs...

I would rage if something like this happened to me haha.

Haha. The best one I've seen is a video of Peeve, who apparently has a single character with 800+ hrs logged into it, and a message coming up saying Save Data was corrupted. He didn't have a backup.

That one dog in the Lower Burg. When I smash the barrel with the one guy in it, that dog comes careening out of nowhere. It gets me every time.

It's my personal motto: "When in doubt, quit/ load!"

I find it funny that the game will still startle me once in a while. Once you've beaten Dark Souls a few times, you know where everything (every mob, especially) is, so there are no surprises anymore... except when there are! Sometimes, a mob will jump at me from somewhere completely random and catch me off guard. Happened to me a few days ago, when I was just killing the Painting Guardians for fun, and one of them came out of nowhere and backstabbed me!
