Yes, it surely is a shame that SO many games totally neglects the mace and chain/flail. Imagine dual-wielding those in a heated battle. Swords are a bit overrated, haha. Even Diablo 2 were able to put that animation together in 2000, so why not do it again? Btw, I found an old game which were made by the same people that did Demon's souls and Dark souls. They are called "From Software" and have been releasing titles for PS1 and PS2 long before they ever thought of moving to PS3. Here's a video of the game "Shadow Tower" which is a dungeon crawler in the same style as Demon's souls and Dark souls, only with a first person view.

That sounds very interesting indeed. I can't pick it up yet, as I'm a little short on cash. The hollow form sounds pretty cool, can't wait to see that in action. I wonder, have they included a mace and chain in this game? So few games have that, even though it's a quite basic medieval weapon.

Cancer is never any fun. It's 2011 and we haven't even found a sure cure for it. Stop making robots that dances macarena, and research in cancer instead! My dad had it before I was born, but luckily he got well again. Imagine how good life would have been if people just died peacefully in their sleep instead of all this disease.

Hmm, exciting. Have you encountered some of the animal people yet? Like the donkey woman, flying men, the cougar man, and so on. Btw, is the jackalope an easter egg in the game?

Listening to the Italian experimental prog-band Antonius Rex. This album is from 1974. They created this sound under the moniker Jacula in the late 60's. Truly ahead of their time. They were pretty much the first band to mix pipe organs with heavy electric guitars, creating a sinister occult feel to their music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OKP83XQork

Chattius: I have also heard that Pink Floyd has a very similar tune to the Phantom of the opera main theme in one of their songs. Listen to just after 4:40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSJrv95clso I found another cool soundtrack for a game called MDK for PS1 and PC: Has anyone played this game?

From the screenshots I have seen, it definately looks more open worlded. And by the way, I just finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I've been sneaking and hacking through the entire game, and it took me DAYS. Right now I'm so tired of it that I won't touch it for many months, perhaps years. I guess Dark Souls and Skyrim is next for me. Also, Rndm, I beat stormking witouth the sword in Demon Souls. Just take shelter behind a rock and shoot him with arrows.

This is gonna be easy: I am addicted to everything that tastes good. Especially sweets! My favourite thing in the world is to sit down and watch a movie/play a videogame, while eating some good food. Lately I've been devouring tacos, pizzas and other kind of food that makes me fat. Haha.

I know what you mean. I have a pure melee build myself. Once I was invaded twice in a row by some bored players I guess, haha. With all their flashy equipment and huge shields, you know how I killed them? With my simple level 10 short spear. Believe me, that one nails all. (The two handed heavy attack, that is.) I am also excited to find out what they have changed in Dark Souls. Demon's Souls was a very good RPG. I loved how you could mix your weapons and such. Like if you wanted to dual-wield shields, you could. More games should have that function I think. It gives the player alot more freedom to mix all kinds of equipment.

Correct!

I'm glad to see I found the correct answer. Another movie for you guys. Both are from the same film :

Ah I see. Anyway, I think I would put Deus Ex down for the duration I play Dark Souls. I bought Demon's souls when it got cheap, so many people was done playing it. I can't invade games or help others anymore. Everyone have moved on it seems. Also, I remember people saying Demon's souls was so hard. Can't really agree there... until I tried the second playthrough. Looks like a vitaly stat of 25 isn't sufficient against 40% harder enemies. Haha.

Der rote baron

Yes, it is a sure buy for me. I just ordered Deus Ex: Human Evolution, but I hope I will be finished with that in time for Dark Souls, haha.

It is ghost in the shell, but it isn't the anime. This is from Ghost in the shell 2: Innocence. The second movie. It feels like a mix between Bladerunner and Metal gear solid. I highly recommend it. I'd say that's close enough though, LOTN. Turn goes to you if you want to post.

Hey, good song Chattius. I got some real Deep Purple vibes when that hammond organ started in the middle of the song. Truly an intricate band that, although I usually steer in the direction of more melodically based rock bands like Uriah Heep. Are Yes one of your favourite bands?

Ah yes, I am very familiar with those! My grandparents have a row of rose hip bushes outside their house. Grandpa used to pick them and give them to me when I was little. And those dog roses have like seeds with tiny hair that would itch terribly? I remember I used to put those on the back of the neck of my classmates when I was in elementary school. Not very popular, but very fun. Haha.

From my current favourite RPG Demon's souls, here are some tunes that play when you fight a boss. This one plays when you are fighting the boss "Old monk" : This is the theme of "Flamelurker". A very fast and dangerous boss that many players have problems beating their first time around: And the last one of my favourites, the theme of "False King". Definately one of the hardest fights in the game, this tune tells you that you can't fool around this time. Time to get serious.

The game company "From Software" are developing the spiritual successor to Demon's souls as we speak. They might already be underway with testing it right now. It is due for release in October, probably around halloween, haha. If you have played Demon's souls on PS3, you probably know how this new game will look and feel. There already exists a ton of screenshots for Dark souls, and some trailers. This time around, Xbox 360 users will also get a taste of dea.. I mean a brilliant game. Because if I should judge it from the previous game, I'd say this one will be a very good RPG, perhaps even better than Demon's souls, so go out there and buy it! (or pre-order) It is said to be considerably HARDER than Demon's souls. Yes, you heard me. Harder! If you struggled with DS, you will probably have a real hard time with this one. These are games in which you cannot just barge into a room of enemies and kill them all with a sweep of your weapon. Every enemy requires different tactics to beat, and careful planning against the bigger enemies and the bosses is highly recommended. And oh, you can also be invaded by another player over the internet. Imagine you have just beat an area of enemies within an inch of your life, only to see the message "you are being invaded" on the screen, followed by an intense battle between you and another player. If you are a console owner and an RPG-fan, there is no reason for you not to get this game. I have played alot of Demon's souls, and if Dark souls is anywhere near the quality of that game, you can expect a challenging game that is highly rewarding in graphic, gameplay, music, loot, and replay value. I will post some of my favourite themes from DS on my video game music thread.

Rose hips? Never even heard of that. Whenever I see something that looks like a rose on food, it's usually on to top of the icing on the cake, and I am all over that rose in the matter of seconds. On pizza, I usually stick to cheese, ham/beef and tomato sauce underneath. It is quite possible to improvise. For example, you can mix shrimps and ham on a cheese pizza. Very tasty, believe me.

Alright, I'll just go ahead and post another one. Sorry about that Wolfie. If you'd like your turn back, just tell me. I just saw this movie, and I was quite impressed:

Ok, do you want to post a new one, Wolfie? I have one ready if not.

Correct! Turn goes to Spunky.

Easy: Medium: Hard:

Sure, keep 'em coming.
