Today I defeated the Four Kings of Dark Souls for the second time. I have to say, it was absolutely pants-wetting, even with Witch Beatrice at my side. Dropping into a pitch-black, featureless void, hearing the "oh shit" chorus music start up and watch this tattered grey spectre come charging out of the darkness at you and knowing that more like him will be on their way...
One of the few things that I thought the sequel did better than Dark Souls were the 'Great Soul' bosses; Nito and Seath are slow and clumsy, and the Bed of Chaos is just terrible in every respect. But I'd say the Four Kings are probably one of the best fights in the game, up there with the Gaping Dragon and Ornstein and Smough.

I was introduced to the people who I would be working with and the lady who is going to interview me today, so my hopes are quite high at the moment! And I love Jane Eyre too, it's one of my favourites. I love the story, I love the romance, I love Jane. She is an absolutely wonderful, strong character and I adore her narration.
Wow from november til Feb? that's mad! But great that you got it in the endCatfood220 said:

It's nice to meet you! I agree, I hate that kind of thing too.

and
least it's not as bad as the stuff that's not really country they try and pass of as country *stares directly at 'This is how we roll'* same friend mentioned above, notta fan of country, doesn't hate it just not his thing. Even he agrees that that song isn't country. (I'm slowly trying to convert him by sending him songs I think he'll enjoy though, like Cold One and Drunk on a Plane. He liked both

Like so (video was just the last youtube video in my history)
I played as the Mechromancer and it was honestly one of the most unique experiences I had. First of all Deathtrap is just good. I was expecting even the tiniest bit of tankiness so enemies would stop shooting me, but Deathtrap was not only a bulletsponge but a complete beserker who would fly all over the arena and beat enemies to death. Good, loved Deathtrap.Gizmo1990 said:
But the best part of the Mechromancer is Anarchy. Every time you kill someone or reload when your magazine is empty, you get a single Anarchy point that moderately increases damage while lowering accuracy, and other skills lower the amount of shots you hold in a magazine. Reloading when your magazine still has bullets in it wipes your Anarchy back to zero. Anarchy can stack up 600. That means, so long as you never reload, you have a class that is dedicated to throwing as many inaccurate, high damaging bullets at your target regardless of which weapon you use, and you can still summon Deathtrap. Highly suggest using revolvers, SMGs and ARs dedicated to fast rates of fire.
Okay(cracks virtual knuckles), let's do this.

Captcha; know your paradoxes This statement is false.
There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

I guess not that many people heard of yesterday's small revival of this years' World Cup final: Germany vs Argentina, only 2 months after the WC finales. The match was planned some time ago, not knowing that this will be a WC rematch. Maybe someone is interested in this, despite the short time of football enthusiasm is gone by now.
During the first ~50 minutes of the game Germany got schooled by Argentina: 0:4. Germany at least shot two goals in the last minutes and ended the match with 2:4. (some more goal action going on as in the actual final)
They didn't deserve to loose this hard, they had some really good opportunities they barely missed. But Argentina played very good.
Our German team we saw yesterday wasn't the team of the WC anymore. Our captain Lahm is gone, Klose has left the team, the new captain Schweinsteiger couldn't play and keeper Neuer only played for the first half of the match - the second keeper had to get some experiences. Gomez, the striker for this match, wasn't even part of the WC's team.
Also, the qualifying for European Cup is starting this week, so Germany had to save some of their strength.
But even so, Germany didn't play too good. Argentina on the other hand did a great job. Their defense maybe had some problems but the offense was really great, even without Messi (or maybe because of that?). If they keep it that way, maybe they'll have their comeback in 2018.
Also, German fans have been have been unsportsmanlike as many times before and booed at their own striker. He didn't play good at all, but nobody should be attacked by their own fans.

Know what the best part is? My friend's never seen a single episode of it, meaning he'll get to discover it all fresh for himself! Oh, the joy!Movitz said:
I'm going to get a PS3 as soon as I move out. My list of games to buy includes at least The Last of Us, the God of War series, the Uncharted series and the Souls series. Got other suggestions? And no FPS games please, I'm too attuned to the mouse and keyboard in that genre.
That's a helluva head wound to walk away from. I started giggling when I woke up after mine. Not sure why, but I suppose it is occasionally funny to wake up on the floor instead of in your bed, because that's just not right at all.Not The Bees said:
I was hesitant about using that skill, even though I liked the Mechromancer a lot, but you may have just sold it to me. I guess you get used to the change in playstyle, like frequently running with Tediore weapons. By the way, you ever find that unique Minecraft-themed Tediore shotgun?TheYellowCellPhone said:
I love it. It barbecued everything. >
Mechromancer. She is awesome. It's what I play, deeply invested in Ordered Chaos, secondarily in Best Friends Forever and I only use Conference Calls. Only weapon you can hit things with when you have -1000% accuracy. The skill that grants ricochet coupled with shooting everywhere at once and an obscene damage bonus works out in the end. Never aim, it wastes time and you aren't going to hit anyways.Gizmo1990 said:
I would also like to recommend a book. I already posted about it in a book thread, but it bears repeating, I feel.
"The Troop" by Nick Cutter is my horror story of the year so far, and I suspect it will go unchallenged. It's somewhere between zombie stuff and contagion stuff, with a dash of conspiracy, but the story itself is pretty damn good, with sympathetic characters, and some not so. And all set in PEI of all places, without having 'Anne of Green Gables', CBC or other Canadian content rammed down your throat.

I just found this about a week ago and ************ is this good. It has everything I'd ever want in a piece of music (minus some weak brass parts). It features a solo instrument but the orchestral accompianiment actually... plays interesting parts.
I'm searching all over it and it's... not that popular at all. It's a Liszt piece and not anyone has heard of it (even if you've never heard of Liszt, you've doubtlessly heard his Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2), and it's really hard to find a recording of this specific piece online.
Really, really reminds me of Beethoven's Chorale Fantasia (the piece that later on inspired him to make his Ninth Symphony "Ode to Joy"), if anyone's ever given that a listen.

Anybody else here watch gravity falls? Its currently my favourite show on television and I can?t wait for the new episode Monday.
Im pretty darn excited for the next few months of gaming. Destiny next week, I've signed up to the Firefly MMO beta, Shadows of Mordor the next month (with the HD remake of Sleeping Dogs), The Crew after that, the new Tomb Raider and Fable in there somewhere hopefully.
