geforce gtx 460 (1 gig, I think)

Or I'll fuck with the overclocking and tweaking tools available. :idk:

I need to use halberds some more. Or spears, for that long and stabby action.
If something is already putting out a lot of heat I would be careful with overclocking as that will just generate more. I might sell my GTX770 Lightning for a new GTX780 Ti so if you're interested I'd let it go for an ILFBro deal at like $220 (I got it like a year ago for 350-400, can't remember). Runs any game I've played (Metro Last Light being the most intensive) at max, 30-60fps on 1080p.

Not quite sure if I'm going to do it yet but I want a bigger, higher res monitor and a shiny new gfx card with it. Plus I have to pay off my other debts first.

Those kamikaze mummies are dicks, I usually just snipe them with range or use an alluring skull to get them away from me.

Yeah, I've been using throwing knives, sometimes luring them down hallways so they can't surround me. I hate how Straid is just chilling in that room chock full of them.

I know! I just sprint out of there down the long path towards the Last Sinner and take them out there.

But halberds are super handy for some enemies and I've been effective using it pvp too but I also suck so it doesn't happen often. The two handed spin move can be devastating.

Spin to win!

I've been doing alot of pvp in the arenas lately, and it is really annoying because I just plain suck at it. I win maybe 2/10 duels...I've tried various kinds of weapons and I just get destroyed every. fucking. time.

This is about how good I am, my best success has been either with the Curved Dragon Greatsword or the Barbed Club (solid damage and poise damage plus it causes bleeding) due to the quicker attack speed.

I mean, I enjoy pvping but it's making it impossible to get rank 3 in the brotherhood of blood covenant. You need something like 500 wins and every loss is a -1 to your tally. Fucking bullshit.

This is where I say something like "is it a real fight, or not?" Because you should be a dick back if it is :thumb:

Oh my god I forgot how fun Serious Sam is with a bunch of people.
"Knife him!"
And so we knifed him to death. And made our way through the rest of a few levels with knives-only. It's a surprisingly viable strategy, and pretty fun to jump on top of a big enemy and stab it to death.
