Now I'm glad Demon's Souls was P2P. Otherwise, you couldn't play multiplayer on PC.

Though, I'm hoping they figure out server-hosted games too, because I wanna play Metal Gear Online 2 (MGS4) again in the future.

We just killed the blue dragon together.

Think I'm done with the game for now. Forgetting that character tendency carries over to new game plus prior to murdering everyone and now failing to get Mephistopheles to appear even after rescuing everyone and murdering all the merchants and most of the teachers has sapped my enthusiasm. I believe it's gonna take two and a half playthroughs to go from pure black to pure white and get that ring.

Also, went back to Cursed Weapon. Enchanted and Light Weapon are far too weak spells.

What do you mean?
Right now Demon's and one other game are the only two emulated PS3 games that have MP, and for Demon's it is apparently because the MP is peer to peer, meaning connection speed/lag depends on the connection of the player who is hosting.

Whatever, just wash your hands.

Ahh, ok, that would make sense for being able to emulate MP I suppose since they wouldn't have to connect to... wait a moment, then how does match making work? I mean I doubt they let you just directly connect to someone. Usually matchmaking is hosted by the company then they would host the game locally on someones console.

I was under the impression there was a private server for Demon's Souls?
Or are you already using it and all it handles is stuff like matchmaking and world tendency sway, while actual game hosting is and always has been client side?

Yes, I'm using the private server. I thought Demon's Souls used both. That the server allowed the P2P to happen. Or am I thinking of Dark Souls?

Could be, I don't know. I just know of that server, and assumed it handled all hosting since that is my expectation for a private server.

Space road trip picture diary part one;
Leaving the first stop on the set of stars called the Colonia Connection Highway, the first of the few outposts on the trip that reside inside asteroids.

I grinned when I found this treasure. Destroyed a priceless historical tourist attraction. In one of the world's poorest countries, Madagascar. But at least he found some treasure (right side of second picture). I should have taken a before picture.

Pretty sure I've now beaten my score from eighteen to twenty years ago. The car feels faster to me watching than driving.

Space road trip diary...in SPACE! part two:
"We're in the pipe five by five." On final glide approach to the second stop on the highway, the planetary port Hilary Depot.

About half-way to my next stop, my target is a star somewhere in that Half-Life 1 portal colored cloud known as the Lagoon nebula.

So how do you fling a space ship across the galaxy? By siphoning totally harmless space radiation from giant balls of death! Seems safe... *sizzling flesh noises*

Captain's log part 3;
Taking on fuel in the Lagoon nebula before the next trek. I love that this ship is basically all engines.

Another day, another nebula (Trifid nebula this time),

Flying into the shadow covered portion of planetary ring that holds my next stop. The bright light is another ship dropping out of Supercruise into the same station.
