Design a shield for Dark Souls and get into the credits

We can't tell you the number of times we turned off Demon's Souls (after dying for the 100th time), whipped our controllers across the room and wished that everyone who'd worked on the game would be tortured in the fiery pits of Satan's hell for all eternity. Now, with upcoming sequel Dark Souls, some lucky players will have the chance to sneak into the credits and join the damnation.

Fans can Like the title's Facebook page and submit up to three designs for a shield to be included in the game. Ten of those finalists will win a copy of the game signed by director Hidetaka Miyazaki, but three will get the big prize: A signed, limited edition copy of the game, and a slot in the credits.

To any Joystiq readers who might receive the honor: Know that we'll be wishing you be forever banished to only the very nicest chunk of brimstone that's only barely, scaldingly, fatally hot.
