The arena is really, really dead. Sometimes people use it for pre-planned matches, though. You just won't have any luck finding anything if you just pop in there without some friends also doing so.

Not really, but it's really easy to set up on PC with DSCfix, I suggested it as it would be easier to set up some fights as they won't be burdened by things like being human to fight or whether you beat the boss in an area or not.

UGH dunno if I'm gonna be able to wait for my CE to ship here... I wonder if Namco was nice enough to load the truck a day early so I can get it a day early... that'd be something.
There is a convoluted method using junction points. Practically, no.
Nothing at all.
Not because of anything other than just not wanting to. I guess could walk or drive over to the GameStop 1.5 miles away and buy a new / used copy of DSII for PS3 before they close tonight at 9PM central.
Without really thinking about it or making a conscience decision, soon after I got Demon Soul's+DS I kinda somehow decided I'd simply wait until I can get a decent PC with a decent graphics card, maybe sometime late this year or early next year.
Reason being nothing more than, that way, I'll play DSII and have the best visual experience possible.
However, a gaming PC is something I could certainly *not* just go out and purchase in the next couple days.

Steam pre-loads to the drive Steam is installed on. Only way to change that is change the drive Steam is on. There may be a way that involves some work, but I don't know what it is.

Probably won't get my key from "Fast2Play" until Friday, but it's all good I've run through the console version twice already so I don't mind waiting 
Thanks guys. I was trying to help a friend but he just used Steam mover to move some games over.

Not really. The most powerful mobile gpu (the 880m) has roughly the same power of a 670. The 780 is in between a 670 and 660 in terms of performance, but definitely leaning more on the side of 670.
A 670 should be able to run it at 1440p/60fps.

I asked this before, but will my GTX 560Ti play this at 1080p/60fps fine?
I... I still have my old 560 Ti
hopefully it won't run too bad at 1680x1050 (or whatever the closest 16:9 resolution it supports is because fuck stretching.)
I have SLI 560 ti's and I have no doubt I will be downsampling + SGSSAA. Pretty powerful cards, only problem is the VRAM.

This has been covered multiple times in this thread already. If you ordered from SimplyCDKeys, you should receive your key tomorrow.

Time for the dance of joy!
(I think they look different in Dark Souls 2 though, most unfortunately...)

Read his PC Gamer Tweak guide, he is forcing SGSSAA through Inspector.

Awesome, thanks for pointing that out, I knew he was going to be doing a tweak guide but wasn't aware it was already up.
It's not that convoluted, only if you make it so by faffing around installing programs to do something already built into Windows.
ie open a command prompt and use a mklink command like so
mklink /j "c:\program files (x86)\steam\depotcache" d:\directorywhereyouputyourdepotcachefolder
Obviously it might need amending if your Steam install isn't set at default on C:\ and the target you can chose anywhere you want. Using a junction like this is also handy if you want to move your screenshot and cloud save directories as well, in fact it's handy to know just for general PC maintenance and super powerful combined with a cloud service like DropBox or Box. Ideally it would be nice is Valve let us chose where to install preloads but it took years to get selectable install directories.

That's with everything maxed out but if I take off the fancy hair it obviously performs way better.
That's insane. I should look into a good Laptop/ultrabook
Just preordered my copy from GMG for $37 using the 25% off coupon.
So all the extra preorder goodies from Steam should be available when the game is unlocked right? Can't see the ability to check DLC for the game currently.

Nito's set up is also extremely expensive.
You can generally force SLI compatibility through Nvidia Inspector. Will just take some playing around with different profiles.
I will probably start with the Dark Souls 1 profile.
The entry in your account probably says Dark Souls 2 preorder ROW. All copies bought after tomorrow will remove the preorder connotation.
forget about ultrabooks , they usually come with integrated intel/amd only
get asus / MSI or some costume build origin laptop or CLEVO / SAGER
i have msi GE60 which is doing fine in 720P , all sittings are high

Thank you LOL.
replace that with alienware M18
Connectivity is supposed to be pretty good, but the new system they have in place for determining who you can invade/co-op with is kinda restrictive. Also, a lot of would-be invaders are now content to duel each other for the most part.
nnnnnnngggghhhh
