Good evening, everyone!

How are you all today? I hope you have had an enjoyable weekend so far?

CarrionCrow: Well, definitely not going to hack the game. Talk about utter pointlessness.
Thank you for the info, wanted to be sure before I started.
It's actually a very simple hack, and can be done even in the console versions, which allow you to store your save files to external data devices. So you save your game to a USB stick. then put it in the computer, read it with a special program and modify the values for the stats.

Best/worst part is that even though it is obvious as hell, they can't touch you, since you have not tampered any internal files or changed the game's mechanics.

My advice is. Choose what kind of character you're going to be. heavy hitting ponderous tank or agile quick hitting speedster. Then concentrate on that choice to the exclusion of everything else.

You may have noticed that I have not mentioned magic users as a viable third choice. That is because THIS IS DARK SOULS BITCH! And every wizard knows that at some point, they will inevitably be tangoing very closely with an angry bugbear trying to eat their face off. Which is when the wands go out the window and you pull out the double headed axes.

CarrionCrow: With GOG for PC games and a system that you focus on for consoles, that goal is certainly attainable.
Your GOGWiki is all kinds of messed up at the moment, but last time I looked you had less than 60 items listed.
That's not bad at all.
Is it? I've just checked and other than the formatting being screwy because I'm on my phone it seems fine...

But yeah, only 53 on there at the moment. There are others that I could probably add, and things I would like that aren't on GoG at all (but probably won't get unless they come here) but those are the main ones I'm interested in right now.
Add Nintendo stuff in and it gets bigger as there's quite a backlog of stuff I want but haven't been able to afford for 3DS and Wii U.

moonshineshadow: *big thank you hug* But I still hope you can be here more often :-)

So what do you think about the recently added LucasArts games?

Stilton: I don't have any prior experience of them, but straight away Outlaws and IJ and the Emperor's Tomb went on my wishlist. I like their era, so I'll give them a go at some point.

How about yourself?

And thank you for your nice comment, I'm almost blushing....
Sorry for the late reply *hug*
Indy and the Emporer's Tomb is a quite nice game, I had fun when I played it years ago :-)
And if you are interested in a unique and fun adventure you should add Loom to your list.

For myself I am mostly interested in some of the games for backup purpose :D

Also, what happened to your wikipage?

Hello, Moon! *big return hug*

I had a great Saturday night and a great day today. I had a real nice time playing Outlast until the early hours of the morning (nice and scary :-)), then me and my partner did some other things before going to bed at about 3am. And for once I not only slept, but I slept for about 7 hours, not waking up until mid morning. Then I just had a lazy morning in bed with my partner, and then a nice walk and a picnic in the afternoon, as it was a nice sunny day today. Then we finished the day with some old black and white movies. So quite a nice weekend, and hopefully the long sleep will help restart my internal clock and my sleep will get back to normal.

How are you? Did you have a nice day?

*more big hugs*

Good evening. =)

Doing well here, just noticing my atrocious timing at Dark Souls and thinking that this is going to be one long game if I don't get better at it. -laughs-

How's your weekend been going?

Hey ddickinson.

Yeah, it's not been bad. How about you?

Being a history buff, have you been following all the Richard III stuff? Watched a quite interesting program about how they found his body the other night. Pretty fascinating how they work everything out and find out it was actually him.

CarrionCrow: We're all ultimately screwed because the companies will never want a flawless machine or system to occur.
If that happens, OS upgrades, hardware upgrades, buying new computers in general, all that money would be gone from their pockets.
We're also screwed because we're stuck, like you said. Once you've got a computer and you're connected to everything all the time, it's pretty frigging hard to go back. But with that comes the dependence on companies like Microsoft or Apple, since they own most of the playing field.
Actually I can envision a future in which Microsoft has gone the way of the Dodo, specially since they have failed to make any sizeable dent in the phone and tablet market, the latter devices continue to eat up the share of PCs that were bought by people who only check their email and android netbooks are becoming a real thing.

Add to that their infamous lack of flexibility, which is what's saved Apple and you can hear tolling bells already.

*even more hugs* My day was ok, played a bit Anvil of Dawn with lots of breaks in between :P

Good evening, Crow! *hello hug*

Still torturing yourself with games I see. Is the game at least enjoyable for you?

I had a very nice weekend, thank you. (see my reply to Moon for a full description, to save me writing it again - yep, I'm lazy tonight :-))

Hello!

Did you have a good day at work yesterday?

I am good thank you (see my note to Crow above, which is a lazy note about my post to Moon :-)).

I have followed a bit of the Richard III subject, but a bit too political and drama involved. I do not like that they are refusing to bury him in York as he wished for, but that's modern petty greed for you from the University that found him.

I am glad your day was okay. Why lots of breaks in between playing Anvil of Dawn?

*even more hugs for the lovely Moon*

Oh I already complained a lot about that here this afternoon :D The stupid devs did not implement any rest function in the game. So there is no choice to save and reload often to try minimizing the damage you take. And you often need breaks to regenerate, since health and mana reg is very slow.

*more hugs*

Wait, what's this? You're finally playing at long last?!

This I gotta see.

Sounds simple enough, but I'll be passing on that one.

That doesn't surprise me, Dark Souls looks heavily melee-oriented, so unless you're somehow able to shoot everything before it closes, you're going to get slaughtered. And since you're a wizard, odds are you haven't invested a lot in stamina, vitality, strength, dexterity, or anything else you might need to keep from being gutted.

Yeah, it was great.

Sounds like you've had a very nice time, glad you managed to get some sleep :)

You can say that again.. I didn't realise the whole thing was driven by some nutjobs who wanted to portray him as a kind and goodly king (which fair enough might have been the case, it's hard to know). The woman who ran the dig seemed more like some kind of weird groupie than a historian...
But the fact they were able to find and identify him is pretty cool.
