Not getting my hopes up

Thanks for posting that, it was interesting. Didn't know that Malcolm Gladwell (New Yorker Writer) is black. The article referenced "Black Like them" (April 1996 New Yorker) where he examined the differences between American blacks and West Indians. I remember reading it on my Kindle and thought it was a good article. Will have to look for some of his books even though I tend to read magazines like the NY on my kindle because they're shorter.
Well at least he stuck to what he believed in. Can't say I agree; if I was at the brink of death, I'd just get all of my shit out as fast as I can.
Naw.

Who knows what you would really say though? I guess it depends mostly on how you are dying. For example if your lungs are filling up with blood, you're not going to come out with some meaningful soliloquy.
I'd wager most famous last words as reported by history are heavily fabricated or at least exaggerated. In real life, when you're dying, I doubt you give a fuck whether you spit a cool one liner or not. I just hope by the time I die I accept myself and can be happy with the life I lived. Isn't that what everyone wants?

Back on that reparations thing, I remember a comic frequently posted on twitter trying to illustrate the issue. Can't find it though. Something to do with a black dude helping a white dude lift himself up to a higher platform, then asking for help getting up there himself.

Not yet. An NPC mentioned it and I'm pretty sure I've seen it during my travels.
I have the Basin, Valley of the Drakes, The Catacombs and...fucking Blighttown to conquer, atm. Handling the Basin first.

It's not about Full Moon Studios specifically, but you should check out the documentary Rewind This! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2395970/
It's about the VHS and it's effect on the movie industry. Pretty interesting stuff.

Is it wrong that I want no part of the Demon/Dark Souls franchise?

Nope, played the demo on 360 and didn't do anything for me.

The Souls series is amazing and worth it. Hell it took me 3 chances to get into dDark Souls.
And after watching that recent Boondocks episode its like watching a loved one wither away to nothing. That freedom riders episode was a fucking parody of a bad episode of the worst season of The Boondocks. I hope that they are putting the weak episodes out. I'm waiting for that stinkmeaner episode before I walk away.

Gave the souls games 3 tries

Not gonna lie, first time playing DS1 I basically played it for an hour and was like nahhhh. Came back a month later and was determined to see what it was all about. Loved it. It's not for everyone and Gaf at times has a hard time understanding that, but I would definitely give it a try for an hour or so.
I just love the fuckery of the community, people doing shit like this

Yeah, I know I've lost interest when I completely forgot for two weeks that episodes were on.

So PS4 on deck.
Infamous SS and BF4 2 titles I'm getting up front. I'll probably get watchdogs for the ps4 now and i'm patiently waiting on Destiny and The Order.
Anybody in the PS Now beta? If so how is it?

I got Demon Souls blind.
Didn't like it at all until a couple hours in. There's a lot to learn and it changes a little every iteration. It's definitely not for everyone, but it gets so many things right. Atmosphere, strong combat, boss fights, interesting take on online MP, interesting world without having a straightforward story.
If you're gonna try I'd go with Demon Souls first. The universe set up is more beginner friendly imo, you could be like WTF! if you start with either of the Dark games it's just too open at the beginning of the game.

I'm missing out on that fukkery since I'm not playing online (cause fuck Live). I'm playing *mostly* blind, atm. This is definitely one of the most difficult games that I've played. That said, a lot of my deaths have come from programming from other videogames that I've played this past gen (mainly). A lot of the difficulty from the level design and certain encounters can be mitigated by...taking some time to think. It's saying a lot that one of my most powerful items, at where I am currently, is some fucking binoculars.
Two out of the three options to explore, when you make it to the hub(dark souls), basically set the tone for the type of thought you should have when approaching it.
Yea, it's def not a series for everyone though. lol

This isn't gaming side, it's okay not to be interested in a game that many people consider good.

After all these years one of my favorite multiplayer games from that gen might get a sequel. I don't think my body is ready for this.
Bf4 is better than it was but still bad online

Playing that whenever I finish Dark Souls. All signs point to it being great. Those based Ex-Starbreeze people came through, apparently.

Nah. Especially not the franchise.
I had a lot of fun with demons souls, but I don't need to play that same kind of game every two years. They don't have enough ideas for the game to keep it interesting through so many iterations
