I'm too much of a wuss to play System Shock 2 right now.
Guys, is there a Blighttown of Dark Souls 2?
Fucking Blighttown...I went there the normal way ONE TIME and never again. Fuck that place forever. Only reason to go in the intended way is to get the whip. Still not as bad as the Bed of Bullshit, though.
Master Key 4 lyfe.

There is a Blightownish area, but it's not too bad. I'm a little over half way through it and I've already passed it long ago.

Spoke too soon. Two games in a row with entirely Spanish speaking teams that don't even know basic mechanics like aggro shifting, or what their abilities do.

entirely Spanish speaking teams...

stopped reading, started cringing.

You would think that language shouldn't affect skill level but it really does. I have no idea why. It's like they just don't understand the core concept of the game. I always get the feeling that they think the point of the game is to get kills, and that's really not what it is. It's about teamwork, controlling territory, and economic advantage (gold and experience). You use those things to defeat the other team, but you could ostensibly do it without ever getting a kill.

Giving Dragon Age II a shot, it pissed off the fanboys (and I actually wasn't a fan of Origins) so maybe i'll like it?

I'm liking it so far, maybe i'm an idiot.

I saw that and was actually really tempted to buy it myself.
What language are you going for?
Let me know how it is.
I might pick it up to brush up on my french or learn German or something

French. Been using Duolingo for a while. Figured this might be a good supplement to that.

I sold all of my game trading card things on Steam and made $1.03, yay.

I've been having a ton of fun in Dark Souls 2. There's an item to respec your character that I used earlier and I'm a PvP monster haha

It seriously took me like 15 minutes to figure out what to do after the area where you first encounter enemies in System Shock 2. I've explored all of these rooms, I have the power cell that needs charging, the last charging station was back before the airlock, what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck...oh, these things that look like environmental decorations are doors. You just have to get really close to them.
It's been too long since I played a fresh game that didn't hold your hand the entire way...but there coulda been a light or somethin' on the doors, guys.

edit: I'm dumb and the doors are clearly labeled.
Also, the dead crewmen have hilarious expressions on their faces. Maybe the Joker killed them with his happygas.

Got invaded by Peeve Peeverson in DkSII last night. I almost killed him, too haha :P
