Guys I really want to get into Dark Souls but I can'tits the sort of hard game I usually like but I can't get past the first area in Dark Souls 2. I best the first boss in Dark Souls 1 (not the tutorial one) and decided after reading some reviews that Dark Souls 2s more linear nature would appeal to me more so I got the Scholar edition. What are some tips you guys might have? Is being stuck for an hour on the first 6 enemies normal?
From what I remember at the start of dark souls 2 you can wander into some guys that will destroy you so make sure your not wandering into the wrong direction.

Anyone here have an ABN? The website says I need to have generated revenue first, but I just wanted to get my ducks in a row before I do things like buy from suppliers or try to register a .au domain name etc.
One guy I contacted for wholesale prices of stock asked for my company profile and I'm trying to work out a way to buy from him without having to admit that my "company" is just me tooling around in my study and garage.
Also, are there any Australian sites that provide the same kind of service SquareSpace do? I really like their designs and the fact that they have e-commerce stuff integrated, but I worry that they won't play nice with AUD or with Australian banks.
Help?

I dunno about having to have generated revenue first, but I needed one when I started doing freelance stuff. Just tick yes and carry on if you can.
Just investigate how US-based services handle tax on your earnings. Some will be fine, others will expect you to get US tax forms otherwise they withhold 30% of your earnings. There's a tax treaty that gets that down to 5%. Even worse is trying to get an ITIN number.

Lean on a guide, heavily, if you're having issues. People have torn those games apart and know them inside and out, and the game doesn't really do you any favours in terms of explaining itself.
I banged my head up against Dark Souls for a good few hours before falling in love. Those first hours are rough, and indeed it is pretty normal to get killed by standard enemies when you are starting out. Patience is the key. Bait them one at a time, learn their attacks.
It's also very possible you are in an area you are underleveled for. Just have a peak at a guide and see.

That's a good point. I figured I could work GST out as it's roughly analogous to state-imposed sales taxes, but I'd prefer to avoid dealing with the US tax system if I can.

Yea, my missus applied for an ABN last night. Didn't need any proof of income, hasn't even worked yet. So should be able to bypass it.
As for websites, why not build it yourself? Wordpress does things pretty easily. I build (wordpress) websites on the side and there are enough plugins/templates you don't need to know much.
The one service I hate to use.

Is this a cry for help?
He's gotta do something to keep him from developing his game.

I don't think you'd need to be revenue generating to apply for an ABN; how else could holding companies or loss making companies incorporate?
Sorry, don't have time to look up the application procedure right now, but I've linked the relevant ASIC page to help get you started. Good luck!

Congrats! You are now qualified for an upper games media "journalism" job. Microsofts cheque is in the mail!
Yeah ABN is the easy one to get, had one ever since I was 16.
love your new avatar.
Get keen!

Awesome to hear. Indie games industry seems to thrive on networking, similar to office admin jobs. The better network you can connect with I expect the better the chances of being successful.

I want to make sure that 1) it doesn't look like crap and 2) that the POS systems just work without my having to fiddle with them.
The first is the most critical. I can probably figure out how to build a functional website, but for what I'm planning on selling, it has to look trendy and chic. I know my limitations in this area, and it's better that as much of the visual design of the thing is out of my hands as possible.
One big selling point of SquareSpace is that the layouts scale to mobile and tablet.
Thanks mate!
I've never used squarespace before, but after building kritz.net from scratch: never again. Other people have already worked out how to build clean, functional websites for you. It's fun, and rewarding, and you learn a lot doing it yourself, but at the end of it all it's not a very practical solution.

Actually it was Star Talk Radio ads that put me onto them. For how annoying they are, they work. When I thought of site design and construction, it was the first place I thought of. Will have to find out about all that tax stuff though.
Just need to bring Cheez TV back.

i don't much know about squarespace but some US based companies that sell things for non-US people will make you submit a tax form otherwise they'll withhold 30% of your earnings, even if you pay tax in Australia. You either have to get an ITIN (like a tax-file number/ SSN substitute, which is a pain in the arse in australia since you need it notarised, which is not easy here and JP is not a substitute, or you have to provide details of the tax treaty between the US and Australia, which means only 5% is withheld.
It is weird and it's not uniform.

Yea, I understand that. But I guess my impression is that he would be selling the products here by himself. If he was selling them in the US that would make sense.
Guess I am assuming things though.
Fair point.

I was hoping to use their point of sale facilities though, so it might come up.
Anyhoo,I has an ABN!

Yeah I think you might be right
Thanks for this. I found one on YouTube by one of the writers of the official guide and I realised how much I've missed and all the mechanics I didn't understand because of the roundabout nature of how from explain them

Good PS+ lineup for next week, lots of "I kinda want to play that but don't want to pay full price" games. 6th of May is when they are available until 3rd of June.
5 PS4 games

The Unfinished Swan (PS4, PS3, PS Vita)
Race the Sun (PS4, PS3, PS Vita)

Never a reward for being organised and getting shit done on time.
Up til 4 getting this thing done before a deadline, do it just, then they change the deadline to give peoole all day anyway, ridiculous. What a wasted effort.

+1. Could only be worse if it included a PRINCE2 course at the end.
Yes, after an extraordinary long time in soft launch land, Bears Vs Art is now available worldwide!
Story Trailer!
Release Trailer!
A rediculous amount of stuff has happened since it's original soft launch release - there's a new unlimited level mode, you a BeaRPG system, and so much more. If you're tired of the drop puzzle genre and want something new to rack your brain, get this game!

Hahaha oh man, the most boring and dry course I have ever been subjected to, HAVE FUN
edit: I have nightmares that v4 will be announced any day now and will have to go to an upgrade course, at least they only go for one day though.

Yes this would be great.
Went and saw Ultron for my birthday treat. Enjoyed it quite a lot
