Finally, thou art S-Rank'd

...it is done, S-Rank'd Dark Souls. NG++, a few spare minutes over 150 hours. Level 165. Final equipment config: Balder Side Sword +15, Grass Crest Shield +15, Dusk Crown, Black iron set +5, Dark Wood Gran Ring, Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring, Ascended Pyromancy +5, Black Bow of Pharis +15, Darkmoon Catalyst. My build has very very high Dexterity, Endurance, and Attunement for lots of powerful fireballs and Darkmoon Blade buffs to normal class weapons. Last couple hours were interesting, I went through Sen's Fortress and Anor Londo to the Giant Blacksmith on one go, first try, no deaths. That's quite enough Dark Souls for a while. I think the DLC comes out soon on XBOX Live, I'll come back to it. I would make a new chracter I think, try some new things. Without a doubt my Best Game of 2011, but I didn't get to it. In my opinion, the best game I've played this year as well. Superb work on the part of From Software, they have quite a bit of fiction here for new titles. Pretty outstanding experience, obviously a sickening challenge at times, but if you're persistent and can get beyond your ego, it's an achievable S-Rank. Unlike the Rockstar games and all the absurd online stuff...but that's something else altogether. Done and done.
