where did you stop/give up/lose your will to live?

I wrote it off and ended up liking it a lot, I am not nutty about it like most Dark Souls fans though. I am not a fan of emergent storytelling personally, although the DLC part is better on this front (and my favourite bit of the game).
Would recommend Demon Souls first personally, the gameplay is harder but after the first few hours of confusion the way to 'beat' the game is a lot more clear.
Yurt - He would say that.

Demon's Souls/デモンズソウル/Demonzu Souru(Yurt pls accept), is better imo.

True, but demon's souls has a more "fuck, this is great" feeling. Me mate agrees.
My laptop lost its will to live, or rather it started to overheat at the time I started Dark Souls.
Arnie's mate is the only mate that counts, m8.

You're doing that thing they do in American sports where they don't think they can win so they take a massive gamble

Wolf of wall street certainly. The first Anchorman wasn't even that good.

Ugh, looks like I missed something. How come the European championships for football and handball in 2020 are going to be hosted ....all over the place? I know they're going to extend the team numbers, but that's it?
Nope, I asked in here which one should I play having never played them before. Dark Souls was the consensus.
the lack of music and noise on that start screen freaked me out. It's not as cheery as KH1.5
The NPC's I've met so far have been creepy. Just completed the tutorial and got to the next area. The boss smashed me a few times but once I got hang of it - I smashed him right back with my sword and shield.
It's just something new the Uefa want to try. For the supporters as they say.

A one time thing celebrating the 60th birthday of the Euros.
So it wasn't about money. There's actual meaning behind it? Well, well...
I think it's summat to do, or at least the excuse is, with the 60th birthday or some similar twaddle
More realistically done for the dollar and all the end results of this move is that it waters down the whole competition
rubs innit

I think that's just a convenient excuse to do it.
Even as a fan who supports a hipster lower league club like all the hipsters do nowadays, I can see it as a depressing moment in life when asked who you want on the back of your shirt.....the response is Bobby Zamora
Yikes

How is hosting it in several countries going to water the competition down? Genuine question, I can't really think of any reasons. Of course having so many teams in it, as is going to be the case will though.
Of course the real reason is money though.
Yeah. lool
Not overly optimistic about West Ham today.
They've started the season better than anyone expected and we've gone the other way. Really wish Can was fit so we didn't have to play Gerrard at DM. If he was sluggish and ignoring his runner on Tuesday then he'll be even less motivated to track in his third game this week.
Massive game for Balotelli.

I had Robbie Keane on my Liverpool shirt; worst decision ever
I still see a few Torres Chelsea shirts here and there. :l
I'm glad he's playing regularly, I don't know why we kept him chained up in Levy's basement for 3 years.

Oh. I see.
Lame.
And now the atmosphere will be gone too. And fans who would normally time their holiday for these events are fucked too, unless they're going to cover expenses like traveling between Budapest, Rome and London...

Why stop at Europe
Lets have one game in Dubai. Maybe another in Japan. One in Texas for the American market.
As per usual all this move hurts is the normal fan, who probably won't be able to see any games unless they are Quiche and can afford a jet to fly about. Also, adding more teams will just decrease the quality. Not really a tournament, more a cirque du soleil like touring show.
It's just become a travelling circus driven by politics and money.

Oh and here is the Watford team.
Gomes (GK) (c); Paredes, Ekstrand, Tamas, Pudil; Abdi, Tozser, Murray; Anya, Vydra, Dyer.
Watford also had Alumnia
I think they are seeing if they get North London's worst ever goalkeeper to play for them
What's Kasey Keller up to?

There will be more than enough to fill those up I'm sure, and the group stage matches will have a better atmosphere than ever being played in the country, of one of the actual teams playing.
Now you're just being silly. Lets stop at Europe because you know... It's the euros. And this got the complete opposite effect for me, it actually makes it affordable to go to one of these matches, seeing as the teams qualifying that also got a host stadium, is secured playing at least a few matches there. So don't have to travel to another country, overpay for hotels and get ripped off in some city that turned up prices for the euros.

Yo Yurt, how are things?
Waiting on Dark Souls 2 for PS4, sounds like they are considering it now... easy cash innit.
Fair enough, the general enemies were easier to me but the bosses were harder IMO. Swings and roundabouts, they're not really related so wouldn't miss much.
Sounds like you started better than I did on Demons.
Enjoy your descent into madness. I agree with FF though, think Demons was the better game. I think [Dark Souls spoiler ahead]
the end boss being so lame for Dark and the ending being a bit abrupt soured the experience for me too much. Left me feeling... hollow. Herugh heugh ha ha snort
Plus that opening cutscene for Demon's got me pumped for every playthrough.

I started Boardwalk after it came up here the other day. Thought it was a good a reason as any to start.
I didn't know it's based on real people.
Do I need to read up about them/the period?

Yep, only use your own names from now on. When I left my previous job last year my colleagues gave me two Liverpool shirts - one with my first name and one titled 'The Swede' - it's a good thing I'm not going to change my citizenship any time soon

Did you finish knack?

Based on a book by Nelson summat and Enoch Johnson (who was a real geezer)
Not yet, you might wanna get some backround knowledge before you tackle the last season, it's necessary then.

Asian demo, right? They use the O there instead of the X. It happens on pretty much every Japanese game I played.
