    Jimquisition: The Poison of Pre-Order Culture

    As much as I've been excited about Destiny, and as much goodwill Bungie have built up with me, I'm still a bit pissed off that the beta access was restricted to pre-orders only. I'd rather have used the beta as a chance to see how it plays and whether I want to shell out full whack for a game...

    15 Year old student stabs teacher, Daily Mail responds the only way it knows how.

    My issue is that only The Mail is focusing on this. And that certainly isn't down to their reporting being deeper than other, reputable news agencies. Once again they're oversimplifying what is a complex, troubled young man's life into moral panic over rock music and games. With large action...

    15 Year old student stabs teacher, Daily Mail responds the only way it knows how.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2615694/Loner-schoolboy-murder-suspect-enjoyed-ultra-violent-video-games.html That's right, outside of the influence from "British heavy metal bands Enter Shikari and Bring Me The Horizon" [sic], this troubled student must have been influenced by...

    To everyone wondering about ganking, there is a ring that makes enemies notice invading phantoms... ;) Seriously cannot wait for tomorrow, when my copy arrives.

    Dark Souls II Dev May Reconsider "No DLC" Policy

    Hell, the way they accommodated unused elements from the game into the Painted World of Ariamis, thereby taking random, unlinked elements AND GIVING THEM IN INGAME LORE RELATED REASON TO EXIST was pretty inspired.

    Dark Souls II Dev May Reconsider "No DLC" Policy

    I think this is more a case of "Let's actually make a full game, then if there's demand, we'll give you extra", rather than just withholding areas and gear for an Online Pass/Unlock code on Disc DLC. Dark Souls 1 was fairly complete as a standalone, AotA just expanded on lore and had a good...

    Fox News Links Dark Souls to "Craigslist Killer"

    The Tunguska Event was entirely due to a Black Phantom in the upper parts of Blighttown. WHY WOULD YOU FUCKING INVADE THERE? WHY. EVIL, EVIL MEN.

    Bosses and Boss fights that make you go "F*** this, F*** that, I am not fighting him/her! I AM OUT!"

    Boss of the Fire Forest in Jade Cocoon. Never did it. *Sigh* In the growing trend of Dark Souls Bosses... Four Kings on NG+ - FUCK YOU. VERY FUCK YOU. Demon Firesage and his explosion-spam THOSE TWO FUCKING ARCHERS in Anor Londo. You know which ones. I DON'T CARE THAT THEY'RE NORMAL...

    Disturbing details in games

    ^Isn't that Dark Souls? Anyway, item descriptions, and small snatches of dialogue from NPCs, they are there for you to piece the story together yourself. That, or watch the Lore videos by Epicnamebro on youtube.

    Your favorite Weapons in Gaming

    +1 for Black Knight Greataxe from Dark Souls, that R2 attack is just... When it connects you feel like a GOD. Maliwan Hellfire from Borderlands 1, Tediore in general for BL2, those reload kills are FANTASTIC.

    unknown and underrated bands

    Outrun the Sunlight. Honestly not been as excited by a band for ages. http://outrunthesunlight.bandcamp.com/ You can stream the album here, and pay what you will to download. There is ALSO a vocal re-release of this album that is well worth a look.

    Your Next Day One Purchase?

    Most likely Halo 4 or the ZoE HD collection. My life has been leading up to this point for so long, ZoE 2 looked incredible on PS2, I can't imagine what it'll run like on 360...

    Blasphemy! Covers that you like more than the original.

    Genre changes are always fun. ALSO- I really disliked the original- but it does have a damned good riff that translates into guitar-
