The Gaming Den

Loren's parents are Mormon, aren't they.

Apparently they're designing a rules light, more narrative version of SR called Shadowrun:Anarchy. The only info on it is a Gamerati news roundup , but more info is supposed to be forthcoming at Gen Con. "Talon Coleman." Feh. -Username17 Is that seriously what he calls himself now? Did so...

(I haven't seen Cap 2 or Age of Ultron, how were those secret villains embeded?), Ultron was a long con by Thanos. They found out that the Mind Gem was inside Loki's staff from the first movie, and it had an AI or something capable of being, well, Ultron, an AI capable of monitoring the whole world...

I keep meaning to find a good translation and buy a copy. If only because Sun Wukong is fucking nuts

...wow. I'm all set to read a rage-view of this novel now. This sounds like a trainwreck that I wanna hear about, but not experience first hand. I was being...fair and kind on Goodreads, so for here I'll find direct quotes. LOOK FORWARD TO: THE NON-CHARACTER THE OPPOSITE BROTHER THE LOST CITY THE W...

On the other end of the literary spectrum, I finished that awful, awful book, The Crimson Claymore. I've put a review up on Goodreads, and the author's apparently aware of his online presence so he may try to engage me on the subject. I've got solid reasons for feeling like I do, though, so I'm read...

I've been reading this terrible fantasy novel called the Crimson Claymore. I'm gonna do a full rageview at some point, it's hilariously awful.

Aldrich is really good co-oping, too. And good souls, if you're on someone doing NG+ or higher I don't see Alrsich as good co-oping, since I can't be sure that the Host won't blunder into a hail of arrows and die. Most of the folks I've run into recognize it and get the hell out. The one so far who...

I need to find some folks willing to trade. I've been grinding souls by being a Sunbro for Oceiros and other bosses, and unlocked the covenant rewards. I've got 16 Sunlight medals and could get more. If you want to password play, we can coordinate, and I'll run you through the entire game on my new...

Nameless King, thy name is Motherfucker. He gave me trouble because there's this one move in his sequence that I just don't know when to dodge it and get stabbed for about 60% of my health. I can handle most everything else, read his tells, dodge at the right moment, but that one stab fucks me up. O...

On the upside, Oceiros and the Nameless King are really quick to get you summoned

Yeah, I missed Siegward because I went down some stairs and figured I was due a bonfire, rather than go down the sewer with the roomful of MurderDeathOviposition Water-Spiders, and since I didn't see him around I consulted the wiki. So I'll have to bro it up with him next playthrough

I just beat the Nameless King.

That was a fun boss, really. Now it's just some grinding and catching up and finding whatever awaits me at the Kiln.

I've been using Uchigatana and Farron's Greatsword for most of the game, until I found Washing Pole. I'm also using pyromancy as a backup, because it frequently kills enemies in 1-2 hits, because almost everything in the game is weak to fire. How's Farron's Greatsword? I literally flipped a coin be...

I busted ass until I found a Claymore. That let me hang in there until I found my one true love: The Black Knight Sword. Armor is Drang body with Black Knight gauntlets and leggins, and the Silver Mask. Looks fairly snazzy, gives some protection. For my shield, I've been using the Shield of Want for...

How do you know, out of curiousity? Do you get a message or something?

The premier trailer for the Preacher TV series.

It hurts to watch.

Wow, you know it's bad when Frank forgets his sigline.

I finally got inside the cathedral.

I love the architecture in this game. I really do. I'm not wild on giants or demon grandmothers, but this is a majestic setting.

I had an experience like that with a dude calling himself LORD OF SOULS back in DS1. He invaded me in the Catacombs and I backstabbed him three times and he took no damage, but he wouldn't follow me out to the bridge or anything. -------------------------------- I killed the Abyss Watchers, been aro...

Concur. It sounded like a parody of their so-called selling points.

Anarchist librarian kid, folks. Doing Ghost's work.

Dark Souls 3 is indeed out out, but I've been holding off on it because I feel it pulling at me like a dark pit, and I've been needing to get stuff done around the house.

It looked interesting. What's the selling points on gameplay?
