Apparently three million years. It has already been two million since it occured.

Skyrim won, man. That fiasco will haunt them forever.
Skyrim is the cheese collecting simulator of the millennium.

Oh I know, I'm just saying as a way of advice really.

There's only really one thing to be afraid of in Dark Souls, and that's losing a large number of souls. Vinny has such a small number of souls that there's no reason for him to not be aggressive.
On the other end of the Dark Souls spectrum, these streams have got me back into attempting my ENB Challenge Warrior! I'm up to about 35 tries at beating Smough & Ornstein... I'll get it eventually!
ENB?
And after watching the stream I still don't understand how anyway could play DS with over 25% encumbrance. Roll invulnerability is just so good and you're so quick at that breakpoint.

Epic Name Bro, a fairly prominent Dark Souls streamer, made up some challenge rules for players looking for something different.
The ENB Challenge.
They're both pretty great. But Souls is likely to make you want to go play DS, so perhaps save it for second.

Returning to it after a while, or am I missing some kind of site content?

He's checking out the new DLC which turns the khajiit into dog people.
blasphemy!
This is why I like more simplistic systems. Less stats and more actual roleplaying.
sure, whatever you add just stacks as time added on
I've only really been playing RPGs for a year now and as a novelty we did a short MERP game, holy fuck that system is hooooooooorrible.
Yeah, 3.5e is pretty in-depth but it can argued that a lot of it is bloat. 4e is simpler with less skills but they can be applied in about as many places as a 3.5e system. Not to mention the powers system is much better than just rolling for basic attacks constantly. But the biggest reason is time, it takes a lot of time to work through all the stuff in 3.5e and getting 5 guys together for a few hours is tough.
3.5e is pretty good if you can keep track of everything with ease like NWN2/Infinity Engine games but obviously they are limited in organic world response since only an actual real person DM can provide that.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
So, was Pathfinder any good?

The first Load Our Last Souls made me actually want to check out Demon's Souls or Dark Souls. I bought Dark Souls with my cheap MS points when it was on sale a while back, and then after that, Demon's Souls was free on PS+ in the EU. Which should I try first?
Also, that new Robocop reboot is looking alright:

Try demon souls first to see the serie's legacy, but either is fine really. They have pretty different setups honestly.
Do you like an organic, open world? Dark. Do you like a hub world with more structured levels (not to say that dark soul's levels aren't structured, because the level design is phenomenal in these games)? Demon's.

I tried Dark Souls recently and died quickly every time.
Gonna watch Vinny's effort to see if it's going to be a game I watch someone play, or actually try and play myself. Not a huge fan of doing the same shit over and over and over.

Learn caution.
But also yeah... get used to doing some things over again if you fuck up.
Watching DS LPs is a very good way to learn the basics of the game.
Don't worry, that just means you're playing it right.

So did I for a while, and I held on and it's one of my favourite games of all time. If you want a smoother experience though look up a guide only on the order you should tackle each area (and maybe where to go to get to that area), it makes the difficulty ramp up at a steadier rate.
Seemed intentional. Playing mostly with complete beginners, most of the GB viewers are clueless too and he wants to keep the stream entertaining and fast.
I know nothing about tabletops, but he seemed to be doing a great job balancing that.
