Dark Souls 2 is a worthy successor to the first. Some of it reminds me of Dragon's Dogma

My guy looks like a beast now, wish PS3 had a screenshot function. I think I'm spreading myself too thin with the stats, where I should probably be focussing on 2 or 3 of them and specialising, but we'll see what happens.

Not a fan of the diminishing health tbh. Also yet to be invaded for some reason

Made a checklist on Notepad so I can keep track of what I'm missing, and go back to it when necessary. Spoilers, obviously, but gives an idea of how overwhelming this stuff can get. Currently at the first bonfire in the (area spoiler)

All about my mates wedding today, hopefully the weather is nice.

I'm feeling pretty pessimistic about tomorrow's match vs United.

We haven't played badly against a top team in a long time, and I know if we can get the same fluency going that we had vs City we should be able to win the game. It's been a while since I could say that I think Liverpool's team is better than Manchester United's but we just about edge it at this point with the form of our attacking players.

I just have a sinking feeling it'll slip away from us. We'll need to control the match to keep Utd from getting the ball in from wide areas. As inefficient as their attack usually is, that's more or less our weakness and has been for years.

 

[Blablurn]

Except that Olympiacos disaster it looked like Man U stabilized in the last weeks. They might not win in glory but they win.

First off get off GAF, avoid bright lights.

Do you own a kindle? If not buy one, for now try and read a book in low light.

Don't just lay in bed trying to sleep try and carry out a boreing task like sorting DVDs and games in to alphabetical order.

So Milan wants a new stadium. Not players. A stadium.

We had a chance with the Expo 2015, we had to take it. We can't pretend to fix San Siro unless we completely demolish it first, and that's a bit difficult due to the fact that Inter and Milano might have something to say.

Also, a stadium is a money machine for years as bayern and juve proved, and seeing how Berlusconi will definitely keep his wallet closed that's probably our best shot as of today.

I know what you mean Odd, playing United is always the most daunting game of the season and we haven't gotten points at Old Trafford for five years now.

However whenever we seem to drop points it's either the players just not showing enough effort (Hull, West Brom) or Rodgers not getting is tactics quite right (Aston Villa, Southampton). Rodgers said he had to tone down the players in how much effort they were showing in training on talksport and United have a relatively predictable shape so planning a tactic to combat that shouldn't be too hard.

I don't think I've ever been so confident going to Old Trafford, it could be a close game or a hammering like spurs if we get an early goal. We have almost a full squad again with only Enrique to come back so we could change the game as well if things aren't quite going to plan.

Believe Odd. Your afraid of Fergie's United with a never say die attitude, this is Moyes.

Congrats to your mate!

Dark Souls 2 chat

I started as the Explorer class as I was interested in starting with higher ADP as I wanted to see how this new stat worked. As soon as I finished the tutorial and stated exploring the first proper area, I immediately regretted it. I was forced to 2 hand a dagger which was a pain in the arse. After about 2 hours I had enough souls to level up so I could only equip a short sword. The only cool thing about the Explorer class is that

the hat has magic find bonus, but you can buy this hat from the old woman with her house on her back.

For gift I started with the petrified something item and

i gave it to the crows in the starting area and got an old whip! Apparently the item you get is random

Boss fight:

Spoiler

there is a one off boss fight in the game. You climb up a ladder and this bird flys in and drops this knight that floats above the ground. I died and when I returned the boss was gone. Next to the boss is an enemy that throws fire bombs. There are also some barrels of gunpowder near by. Accidentally the enemy threw the firebombs at the barrels. They explodes causing a hole in the wall!! This created a shortcut to the bonfire with the old lady merchant!

How did you manage that?

I have a bizarre loyalty to studios, and loved the first 2 Infamous', so would like to preorder I:SS even though I won't get around to playing it for probably a month

@LTWheels, fuck, I got out of that place sharpish when

Spoiler

the eagle dropped that guy, seems my chance has gone

The feeling of slow, deliberate progress is unmatched for me in the Souls games. Watching the trailer and intro, I'd fucking love for some guys from FROM to team up with a studio to make a full CG film. Their art is incredible.

Any ideas why I haven't been invaded yet?

The Fire Longsword is boss btw, only problem is it has mediocre stat-scaling. How exactly do the non-respawning enemies work. Is it 15 wipes, 15 kills of each seperate enemy, 15 rests at the level's bonfire etc?

No idea about invasion, neither have I.

My understanding about the respawns is that after you have killed the same enemy 13/15 times it stops respawning. However there is an item you can use that brings the enemies back but at NG+ difficulty.

I'm not sure about the fire sword. I also have a lightening one as well, but can't decide which I like better. I'm not a fan of eithers attack animations. Both of their heavy attacks seam identical to their normal attacks. Wish they had a thrust move like the short sword.

Also I have felt shields to be pretty useless so far. Had better success when I've just gone two handed.

16xAF is something you force for every game and forget about on a PC. It's strange to see a few new games now with trilinear filtering, textures blurred to shit/low res at distance. AF costs next to no nothing nowadays.

You can actually file an application to get one in your cell. It obviously will take a long time but Hoeneß got plenty of that

But I don't know how they handle electricity, I figure they'd just turn it down at 10pm, so only like half of the CL matches. I'm not sure, though.

Nice. Always a good feeling putting one on, it's like a suit of armor. I'm not a fan, personally, of wearing shirts and ties of such similar shades. Suit fits you nicely though.

That episode of Bob's Burgers where Bob gets a suit from from his mortician friend and all of the sudden everyone treats him differently is hilarious and so true.

is veep like in the loop (the film, haven't seen the series)?

Man Grave of the fireflies is emotional.

Check out Barefoot Gen if you get a chance, the animation is not as good, bit more goofy but ends up being even more emotional.



Thought the Liverpool/United game was today for some reason. None today are too appealing.
