To all the people telling this poor guy that class is irrelevant or that the thief is the best starting class, please stop. The guy is asking for a build. The basic mechanics rely on scalable stats. Different weapons scale better with different stats. Obviously, most spells scale with magic...

Pro tip man, equip a 2h weapon and havels armor, and just wail on them. The idea is to kill one before the next one spawns. Don't bother being tricky, just kill them. Most of the boss fights in dark souls can either be exceedingly difficult or relatively simple, if you follow the right...

Ninja Gaiden 2. Either of the unlocked abilities. Grenade shurikens. Anyone who's been there will agree, there is no worse thing in the whole world.

Brilliant video. I would consider myself a hardcore gamer, but that's mostly because games are a large part of my life, even outside of actually playing them. I have no problem with people who want to pick up a controller and be able to play a game. In fact, a number of my favorite games have...

Likewise. I have many hours clocked on many characters and have never had a prolonged framerate issue.

I hate Adrenaline rush Krogan on insanity ME:1 I hate AWPs. I Archaeology in WoW I hate Foresworn Briarhearts.

There is a book near the beginning of the game that talks about this. Akatosh gave the gift of dragon blood to Tiber Septim which solidified his right to rule men. Since then, there have been Dovahkiin both within and outside of the Septim bloodline, there is no heriditary relationship. Since...

Play on master difficulty. Your companion is a lot more than a crate then. The whole point of Skyrim is that you make your own story. When I meet a companion (for some reason I end up spending a lot of time with Lydia and Faendal, probably because they are the 2 easiest/fastest), I do some...

"Expected" findings are a violation of academic integrity. The findings of this research would be subject to extreme scrutiny due to the increased likelihood of methodological biases that naturally arise from pursuing the rejection of a null hypothesis rather than being neutral to the outcome...

Game of the year to go with Movie of the year. Marketers can just die.

How long ago was it on the radio? Borderlands has been kicking around for a while now... I'd be surprised if this song was popular before Borderlands, it really isn't that good outside of that context.

Who is in charge of marketing at Johnson & Johnson? I'm not going to start another 'let's bash the escapist for advertising' thread, advertising is a necessary evil. But seriously, how many escapists care about who the Clean & Clear BFF show calls their current IT girl? Either the escapist is...

In Australia we have a clause that makes it illegal to copyright anything that could be interpreted as 'generic descriptive'. There was a case not long ago where an American company tried to sue an Australian company for using the word Ugg Boots, which the American company held copyright for...

I refer you all to book 22 of the Iliad, the god Hephaestus wages war on the Scamander. Heaps peaceful.

I'm a finance guy, and as a result of this I have had enough affiliation with legal departments to have more than a casual interest in the law, and I know a fair bit about contracts. I happened to be reading through the terms of service of a game the other day, where they go through the...
