Slowly making my way through Code Veronica. If Darkside Chronicles was any indication, I'm so not looking forward to the boss fight with Nosferatu.
 
We won tonight 3-2! Even better we were outnumbered 2-1 and still came out on top. Exhausted but too wired to go to bed.

Mornin all. Happy ... Columbus Day. (I'll celebrate anything that gives me a day off)

Terra Nova seemed to start out interesting but by the time they were at the camp IDGAS anymore. Allison Miller is nice, but the rest are just meh.

Fixed.

They were too qwik in making their decision when announcing it. Time for a qwik and qwiet corporate takeover.

This is okay, so long as they decide to add game rentals ala gamefly still. If they do, I'll resub to the full package.

The blonde they added in dexter is super fucking hot. If you have showtime its worth a look.

It's also Thanksgiving in Canada. And Health and Sports Day (?) in Japan.
 
Now I remember why I fucking hate Gamefly.

It's impossible to get new games from them.

Good thing this month is free, Maybe I'll get a game by the time I'm two weeks in.

I think losing half their stock value pissed shareholders off enough to pressure Hastings to shape things up.

I remember that from when I was a subscriber in the original xbox days. I dumped em a while back. I always liked their used prices though, with the "keep" option - especially since gamestop consolidated and standardized their pricing from store to store many years ago.
 
Finished Gears 3 (Thats a new record for me...finishing a relatively new release so quickly), and have picked up Castlevania: LoS again.
 
Was at a Gamestop today and had $100+ in credit that I haven't touched in months so I figured what the hell and got Rage. Hope its decent.
 
Also how in fuck does FYE stay in business? $34.99 seems to be the standard price for blurays and $25 for dvds. I'm not sure I ever paid that much for dvds in its hay day. Maybe when the format was first starting but still ..
 
All the FYE's around here are long gone. I still had 20 bucks in credit when they closed. They were way overpriced.
 
Finished off Uncharted and started up Darksiders last night.

Was okay. Not crazy about the character design though. A hoodie? Giant oversized gauntlets?
And somehow I just know that I've been betrayed by the Council who's giving me orders and they'll be one of the final bosses.

I was not aware a hood now constitutes a garment being a hoodie. You know, as opposed to a robe...or a cloak...or anything else with a hood for that matter.

Yeah, but that was one hell of a voice acting job by Liam O'Brien.

Where are you NOW? The bonfire in Undead Burg where there's a crossbow dude right out the door and assholes throwing firebombs off the scaffolding?
 
[quote name='PlumeNoir']Gamestop just called me. Completely forgot that DR2: Off the Record is coming out tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

:whistle2:s


[quote name='Temporaryscars']No, I was there, but I left and went back to the bonfire by the big crow.[/QUOTE]

Awesome! Ok, so, when you get up from that bonfire, there will be the whiny knight behind you, most likely... if you're facing him (and the crow), check to your left. At the very edge of the shine a staircase will spiral down to the left. Here you should see some bars in the clif on your left, there is a mute "fire shrine maiden" locked in there. Proceed passed her and to the opposite edge, there should be stairs that curve down and to the right.

At the bottom of these stairs is an elevator. Take it. When you arrive at the bottom, there will be more stairs. Take them down as far as the go. I believe when you exit the stairs into the dreary place, it will tell you that you're in New Londo Ruins. There are a bunch of insane hollows here, but will not attack you unless you attack them first. As you enter the area, head right, you'll come to a cliff (you'll know you're in the right spot because there's a hollow lying on his side on the edge of the cliff). Proceed down the stairs here, but be careful, they abruptly stop. At the point where they stop, there are more bars in the cliff side (like with the mute maiden above). Here you can talk to Ricketts (I think that's his name?) and he will sell you very basic magic (soul arrow/heavy soul arrow and the catalyst to use it) and repair your weapons for you. He can also upgrade them for you if you have the materials.

But no hate for Phoenix Wright? Shame!
 
Ok, so I DO have to go through Londo Ruins. I made it there, but I didn't know if it was the right direction or not. Awesome. I'll give it a try once I get my running out of the way.
 
On my way home, a guy in a passat flipped off a mail truck driver then managed to get stopped behind him at a red light. I pulled up next to the mail truck, gave him a dirty look and then gave him a thumbs up. He laughed and was late on the green light, pissing of the passat driver even more. Lesson learned. Don't drive a passat and think you're a badass.

Sorta -- whatever you do, do NOT take the bridge across the water... DO NOT. You cannot deal with the ghosts over there unless you (1) use the items to impart temporary curse status on yourself or (2) get cursed for real. I'm sure if you keep with the game, you'll eventually be cursing about curses. 8)

Again, New Londo Ruins means you're in the right area, but don't go far, to your right, down the stairs, guy on the left.

If you have the Master Key (again, Thief class starts with it, or you could have picked it for your gift at character create) you can go up the other tower to the valley of the drakes and cross the plank bridge hugging the cliff to the left and grabbing the nice sword and shield (as soon as you touch one of them, shit hits the fan though, so be wary).
 
[quote name='Temporaryscars']Curses...what? Ugh...this game just wants me to hate it.[/QUOTE]

If you stick with it long enough to make it to the sewers/depths, there are creepy mother fucking frogs that breath gas. Stay in the gas too long, you die, but not a normal death; you get cursed. Cursed means you can take on ghosts without the special (temporary use) item, but it means you lose half your health. Best part? If you fuck up too much, curses stack. I think you can get up to 3 stacked, meaning your life guage is 1/8th of normal. However, so long as you don't suck or the game doesn't cheat (I've been cursed once in all the runs I did in that area and it was because the game cheated and let the gas clip through the floor I was standing on).
 
Saw this on my way into work. Looks like someone strayed just a wee bit into the wrong city.

Of course, not even four blocks away, there were about four more "ladies of the evening"...

BTW: Isn't that short cop to the right just adorable, looking up at the her?

Sounds horrible. From the way you guys have described this game there is no way any same person should touch it.
