I had just finished Dark Souls 1, and had a blast. I had heard that Dark Souls 3 was coming out very soon, and I had a sneaking suspicion that Dark Souls 2 would be going on sale very soon. However, I didn't want to be scouring the internet for sales every day so I had the task automated.

Installation
