  1. My favorite was the ME1 reference "Remember the old days when we could just slap omni-gel on everything?" Anyway, so I wasn't expecting much from Overlord, but it turned out to be also very good Not as amazing as Lair of the Shadow Broker, but a very close second. Honestly, I'm inclined to agree with Strangelove. I can't think of any other game whose DLC was that damn good. I'm actually a bit shocked considering how disappointing BioWare have been the past couple of years. Lair and Overlord alone have made this repurchase well worth it.
  2. So, I realize this is a bit late, but I've been replaying ME2 on PS3 for the first time since it first came out, so I'd never played any of the DLC that came out after launch. I played through Lair of the Shadow Broker today, and holy crap! It's better than most of the missions in the main game! After that I'll only have Overlord to play and then it's on to start doing loyalty missions. Oh and, about Arrival: should I buy it now or wait until after I finish my run? I mean, I know it technically takes place after the ending of the game, but I imagine if I buy it now I'll probably get an email on my terminal and I'll be able to do it right away?
  3. Just came home to find my copy of Arkham City waiting for me on my desk! Now to open it and see if my DLC codes are all in there...

      Wait, what did the disc go through? It did more than just pop off the spindle?

      No, it only popped off the spindle. But it takes more pressure to do that while the case is closed, no?

       

      I tried once and I was unable to do it with the limited amount of force I was willing to use. Didn't want to risk cracking the casing.

      Oh, I understand what you meant now.

  4. After almost two years of using this setup, I finally got around to getting a black keyboard, so now everything on my desk fits together! It was bugging the shit outta me: black case, black monitor, black mouse, black printer, black sound system, my ps3... and a stupid white keyboard. It was also PS/2...

      Support for USB keyboards has gotten much better. I haven't had a problem with one in years.

      I finally got everything in my entertainment center black after buying an elite Xbox. Then I got a Wii..... :(

      USB kb only has issues if you're on an ancient mobo that probably also requires the prescense of a floppy-disk drive too.

  5. I actually started exploring Darkroot Garden and Darkroot Basin before I realized there was a Lower Undead Burg, so that's probably not a bad place for starters either. By the time I found him, Capra Demon was a fucking joke lol
  6. North American release on February 22nd. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/10/18/get-ready-ps-vita-is-coming-february-22nd/
  7. So, got my PS3 copy of Mass Effect 2 yesterday. Figured I'd replay it without rushing, so long as I've got a save ready for ME3 then all is good. Besides, I'd been meaning to go back and "fix" my PC save ever since first playing the game because for some reason I was in a hurry to finish it at the time and I neglected some upgrades, which turned my final mission into a semi disaster... Then I went to save earlier and realized I already have close to 10 hours of playtime. Oops. Looks like Dark Souls is on indefinite hold :/ And with Arkham City, Uncharted 3 and AC Revelations in the coming weeks, it's just as well. Dark Souls requires more attention than I can give it right now.
  8. It's possible I got it backwards, but what I'd heard is that Dark Souls runs on dedicated servers and Demon's Souls worked differently. Ah okay, just looked it up a bit and the difference is like Dean said, Demon's Souls had a single dedicated server for each region whereas Dark Souls is more P2P-based.
  9. Yeah, the game hasn't frozen on me yet but the framerate occasionally slows down to a crawl. Also, I already feel like the game suffers from having dedicated servers. Sometimes I log on and there are barely any messages on the ground and I encounter almost no other players. When I finally played Demon's Souls seriously (last summer, so close to two years after its release) there were still messages everywhere and I constantly ran into other players' ghosts. I mean, it wasn't as insane as the first few weeks when the game had just come out, but it was significantly more than what I sometimes see in Dark Souls.
  10. It's not like you guys were forced to pick the PC version, though. If you didn't want to wait all you had to do was get it for your console of choice.
  11. IGN a 9.5 Hopefully my copy will actually get here next week. I don't want to go through an extra week of waiting like I had to with Dark Souls
  12. Yeah I figured there had to be a way to fight the Hydra up close, so I tried earlier and realized exactly what you mentioned. Haven't beaten it yet though. As for the drakes, I managed to kill one but it was too much troubles for me to start exploring the area yet. I really need to replace the damn Drake Sword, though :/ It's a nice boost in the early game, but right now it's catching up to me. I need something that deals more damage and because the Drake Sword doesn't get a bonus from strength, I slightly neglected that stat, so now I have to grind...
  13. Actually yeah I noticed that not every boss drops a "boss soul". Also, so far all the bosses I've defeated gave very little in the way of souls. When Taurus Demon gave me only like 1000, I was pretty shocked. I remember Phalanx giving at least 10,000 in Demon's Souls. And yeah the fight against Taurus is MUCH easier if Oh and, quick question to those who've been playing since last week. Does the game get harder? I mean, I'm not complaining here, but the game is supposed to be harder than Demon's Soul but so far I find it's actually easier. So far the areas seem much smaller and the bosses seem kind of easier to dispatch.
  14. So, I was starting to think that maybe I had overleveled in the Undead Burg (was about soul level 15 when I beat Taurus Demon) because I sort of breezed through Undead Parish and Darkroot Garden and while every boss so far has killed me at least once or twice, none of them were much of a challenge once I started figuring them out. I'm now level 25 and after clearing Darkroot Garden I decide to head down to Darkroot Basin, which presented two paths. First I went down, beat the knight relatively easy, then headed in the cave and lit the bonfire. In the back was an elevator that looked just like the one in the Firelink Shrine, so I figured I could make my way back there from here. I hop on and it takes me down to a new area, where I am greeted by Needless to say, I got the fuck outta there. So I head the other way, which brings me to a clearing with So now I'm at a loss as to where I should go. Somehow, I feel like this is the game's way of telling me "Don't get cocky, asshole! You're still my bitch!"
  15. So, I had fun playing FFXIII when it came out and am definitely planning on picking up XIII-2 at some point. But I just watched a seven minutes trailer on IGN, and.... wow. Looks like we're in for one hell of a stupid story. http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/10/13/final-fantasy-xiii-2-new-adventures-trailer?objectid=97872
  16. Oh what the fucking hell did I just watch?!??
  17. Yeah I'm a pyromancer too, but for some reason my fireball doesn't do THAT much damage so him. The fucker always manages to hit me once, and then hit me again before I can get back up! Aw shit, just talking about it makes me wanna go back and try again
  18. So, I killed the Taurus Demon yesterday after some grinding in the Undead Burg. Today I grinded a bit more to raise my endurance and then my dex to equip a box and get the Drake Sword. I was actually surprised to be able to equip it right away, so now I feel like a complete badass with my Drake Sword and full set of chain mail. I head on proudly to the Undead Parish and... proceed to get raped by the knight at the top of the tower at the entrance ... I love this game
  19. Shit, you know what? I read that and realized I don't even remember where Ezio was when we left him.
  20. Woke up and a friend had sent me this link. http://us.akinator.com/ UNCANNY! The fucker gets it right pretty much every single time! Only time he didn't, I sorta "cheated".

      Hah! I took him all the way to 32 questions with Pearl Fey though.

      I took him through 38 questions with Wolverine.

      Nice. It got George Harrison right. Though, I was sort of stumped as to what to answer when it asked, "Is your character the lead singer of a band?"

  21. A year of PlayStation Plus, which got me Costume Quest for free, though I guess that doesn't count as a purchase. I did grab Resident Evil Code Veronica X HD, though, because I'm pretty sure the PS+ 50% discount ends today.
  22. Honestly, so far I feel like it's as ugly as Demon's Souls. Maybe slightly better, and it's definitely more colorful. But the first time you can look into the distance at some faraway mountain or whatever, it looks blurry as hell.
  23. So everything was going relatively fine, I even managed to kill an overpowered enemy by climbing on a roof and throwing all my firebombs at him and then electrifying my axe and jumping down at him to deliver the final blow. Then I got killed by an even stronger fucker wielding what looked like a giant horn, and I died by falling off a cliff before I could regain my lost souls. At that point I burst out laughing and turned off the game.
  24. Fuck yeah! My copy of the game finally arrived! LET THE PUNISHMENT BEGIN!
  25. Just saw the new trailer for The Avengers. That was pretty awesome!

      I feel like there are more characters in this team than there needs to be. I think the actors and characters make such big personalities on their own that we don't need Black Widow or Hawkeye. Thor, Hulk, Cap, Iron Man and Nick Fury are probably all the characters the film really needs. There's plenty of potential with just those.

      Funny, I feel like the team isn't a very good Avengers team and needs another big player. Original New Avengers team (with The Sentry) ftw!

      Yeah I kinda wish the Spidey rights would revert to Marvel already...
