Hey. They only had 13gig! Something had to be cut.
I would not want to start the DLC, run in the same city, and have a lvl1 guy honestly.
Doesn't have to be lvl 1, just give the player a set amount of points to place themselves and go. Plus Vinny brought up a great point as to how the guy just knows how to craft everything already....should have gone with the notebook idea. I don't know, it just seems like some lazy ass DLC for $10.
You could start a fresh save, I don't really get the issue. But I agree with Vinnys idea, that would have been neat. I liked that plane moment tho - it was a "oh, right!" moment. Can't wait for the next episodes.

I think anything you get hints for or the solution to through external means after a full episode of ramming your head against a wall is totally fair game and just an extension of the communal mechanics of the game.
One piece of general advice with this game however, it is that where most games are designed around Positive Reinforcement for various gameplay scenarios, this game falls more on the Negative Reinforcement side of things. For example the Tongue attack of that boss when you're on the upper floors, your frustration with that situation was the intended effect as that's the game's way of telling you not to be up there. As you keep diving deeper into the Souls games just keep this mind, if you find yourself in a situation where you're repeatedly saying "Oh Come On!" or "That's Bullshit!" you're probably trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, so take a mental step back, figure out what it is you're doing and what information the game is trying to communicate to you.
These games are designed to reward highly methodical play, sharp observation and critical thought.

Listened to the last few Mixlr broadcasts at work today, getting my Dave Snider fix
if this is gonna happen for all the other DLCs, i don't see why it's worth replaying. i might just watch LPs for the story instead.

Hopefully either Vinny or Jeff bought this for today's show.
I don't think they're hiring him. Didn't Jeff Green get told last month there were no open positions?

I love the Ryu: Wizard or Monk or whatever debate. Almost as good as Knife vs Bat.
Well that's what you usually hear from companies that do not want to hire you, heh.

Brad playing Demons' Souls made me pick my game back up and remember why I put it down. I'm determined to get all the trophies so I'd grinded out the various weapon ones but since some of the upgrade material can only be obtained from crystal lizards, namely darkmoonstone, it's possible to miss them entirely. This caused me such anxiety that I stopped playing.
Anyways playing it again I pushed myself to go through the fog and beat the 4-3 boss. I even managed not to scare away the lizards during the battle and to get them both afterwards. Neither dropped a Pure Darkmoonstone. As I understand it they should have 2 or 3 more spawns before they are gone for good before NG+. Is there anything I can do to up my chances of getting a Pure DKM?

That Paper Sorcerer game looks rad as hell. Shame the chat seemed so down on it; the choosing-your-party-monsters thing was neat and the flow of the gameplay reminded me a lot of Persona 4 in some ways.

My favorite part of UPF: The Internet with Vinny

Well done, sir!
I am trying to lower expectations at the moment, but Vinny + Any kind of Simulator is usually one of my favorite combinations.

This car mechanic thing is the most boring thing ever. Some decent chit chat but even Brad is falling asleep faster than normal.
