    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I just went through that area yesterday. Fortunately, the wickerman left me alone while I figured out Captain Devona and her bullshit. But once I did, yeah casually strolling across the bridge and then have that shit fuck me up. Good times.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I just picked up two pretty sweet talismans in the span of about 30 mins. One was the Talisman of All Crucibles which bestows all the benefits of all the other crucible ones, and the other was the Two Handed Talisman. I always prefer going two handed so I was pretty stoked the find that one.

    I only watched the first fight vs the DBDL but I actually LOL'd at it, and then again when I noticed how low his Vigor must be. And then taking time in the middle of the fight to use soap?? LMFAO. What in the actual fuck people!

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    This is exactly where I was a couple days ago. I ended up just exploring and looking for SoGs and Scadfrags. Took me down to Cerulean Coast which eventually led me down the Fissure hole and eventually where the Putrescent Knight is. I tried him a few times just to see the hullaballoo for myself...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I’m still crawling my way through things so I’m not entirely sure which boss is the final boss. I do know after I happened across a YouTube vid showing the Bayle fight that I have an absolute zero chance of defeating him, and undoubtedly a couple others as well. I started the DLC at lvl 142...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I see what you guys are saying about Putrescent Knight. Pure fucking chaos and a complete asshole. My biggest complaint is the run back. I've only attempted him 3-4 times, and yes, it's a simple run but FFS, did we really need to do the jump every fucking time?? I know, I know, git gud and all...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    With regards to the new weapons (at least the ones I've discovered), I really like the Backhand Blade b/c of its quick attacks and Blind Spot special attack. But even though it pretty much overwhelms most regular enemies, it's just not effective enough against most of the bosses I've tried it...

    For you caster types, I came across an Incantation called Multilayered Ring of Light that dropped off the werewolf ghost like dude down in the Fissure area. Is that useful to you caster types or hot garbage?

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Took a break for a few hours, threw some barbells around in my garage, came back and downed this MFer on my first attempt back using my RoB and Tiche. So, fuck him! On to the next rage-inducing MFer.

    Tiche is indeed top notch. The only reason I was using Mimic over her is because I was too FP-gimped to be able to summon her on this toon. But I recently respecced to now at least have the option.

    The Chinese dragon thing is the Divine Beast Dancing Lion at the top of Belurat Tower. i remember the hippo from the trailer but haven’t discovered him for myself yet. The only bosses I’ve downed so far are the aforementioned DBDL and Relenna. I’m currently using her light Greatsword which is...

    Man, fuck the living fuck out of that goddamn Death Knight at the end of the Fog Rift Catacombs. I'm pretty sure he's susceptible to bleed, which works well for my main setup, but JFC, he's so super fucking hyper aggressive, it's hard to even get swings in. I'm 5/5 and still getting ass-pounded...

    Yep. I just found the Backhand Blade and gave it a whirl. Fucking loving it, especially that Blind Spot special. I'm enjoying the exploration part. Just found Castle Ensis(?) and logged out there.

    Logged in this morning to kill the roamer dude on the stairs in Belurat tower. Little did I know that just past him at the top was the big bad lion divine beast thing from the trailer. First attempt, I dodged his opening attack like a champ and got three solid hits in with my Godskin Peeler...

    Got about 2 hours in tonight. Fuckers are brutal. I knew to avoid the wicker man boss up front but took out the beast claw dude and the giant hammer knight at the church. Then got my shit pushed in about ten times by the dark gaolknight boss in the mausoleum. Moved on from him and ended up in...

    The Definitive Escape Key discussion thread

    I saw this thread title and immediately thought, "holy shit these fuckers will discuss GD anything". Clicked in for the lolz. Halfway through the first page of replies and suddenly realized this is a real issue that needs discussion. I'm already invested. Count me in among those who say it's...

    This was me as well. Decided on my recent playthrough that I was going to take a completely different route than the Dex/Bleed/RoB build I used the two times before. Halfway through annd two Larval Tears later, I was back to my old build with the lone difference was I was using the Godskin...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    ER was my first and only FromSoft game. It's absolutely, positively worth grabbing and investing the time in, even if that's the only game you have time for due to RL conflicts. The game is indeed a challenge but that meant it was also rewarding when you beat those challenges. If nothing else...

    The pre-DLC toon I made last month finished the game at lvl 141, which was my personal best in terms of lowest level to finish. Certainly nothing earth shattering but was good enough for me. Given that was my 5th or 6th toon through, I skipped a lot of optional stuff and only focused on content...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I stand corrected. It was a rapier, but I never got into those either. And no, there is no questline to save him. Also, ER was my first FromSoft experience, so it was news to me.

    Rogier’s death was it for me my first time through. First, he offers up assistance to a total stranger to help kill Margit to get into Stormveil Castle. Then when you actually meet him later on in the chapel, you just knew you’d be besties for life. Then you find out later that he’s got stage 9...

    So, it's FromSoft's fault for making you watch spoiler videos ahead of launch? Got it.

    Which computer chair do you use? Needs to be poopsock viable

    I struggled with shit chairs for years until it really started to affect my health from long sessions of sitting. Last year I finally decided to invest in a good chair. The challenge was finding said chair without being able to sit in it to test. I took a leap of faith on a Vertagear SL3800 and...

    I always felt the music track for Dragonlord Placidusax in ER had a Godzilla vibe to it and was pretty fucking epic. Actually, everything about that fight was pretty fucking epic (except the run back between deaths).

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Bloodborne is actually the one I really wanted to try the most as it seems most people hold it in the highest regard when compared to ER. Unfortunately, I don't own a PS so, unless they release a remaster/PC port of it, it's off the table.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The lack of open world probably played into it some. It just felt super clunky and dated to me when I tried it. And not just a small step backwards, but a massive one. I had some initial trepidation about going back all the way to DS1 but was excited enough to give it a try anyway. I...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    My first and only Fromsoft experience is Elden Ring. It hooked me big time and is now one of my favorite games in a very long time. When I finished it, I was more than pumped to try some of the older FS games. I ended up buying DS1 but I didn’t get very far into it. The game design is so...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I thought about this as well on my recent playthrough. In the end, I surmised that there's no way they would design the DLC to REQUIRE Mohg still be alive so I just killed him (after many, many, many attempts). But since he is technically optional, you may be right in that there could be two...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    No self-respecting coonass does anything unless its well seasoned. As for the Saints, they might need another 2017-calibur draft class if they're going to save Dennis Allen's job as the HC. At the bare minimum, they absolutely must hit on that 14th pick. And he better play LT too.

    I tossed mine once Brees showed up. Minneapolis Miracle and the PI fix against the Rams proved that was a mistake. Now I rent mine, with an option to buy.

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    Could just be smoke. I can see the argument of franchise QB for Williams, Daniels and perhaps even Maye but all three will almost surely be gone by #4. I'm not sold on McCarthy so that seems like a big risk there. And as much as I like Penix as a player, he's got too many injuries for me to feel...

    Yes. Although I live in Florida now, I was born and raised in NOLA so I'm cursed to support them until the day I die. It was great during the hayday of the Brees-Payton years. Notsomuch these days.

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    Harbaugh knew how deep this year's draft is at WR. Couple that with their favorable draft position as well as the tread, wear and tear on both MW and Keenan and it wasn't a huge surprise to see them gone. I think AZ will grab Harrison which means it's very likely that Nabors is there at 5 for...

    Here I am over here raging against Mohg (still) and now the stupid fucking Fire Giant thinking I'm achieving "great things" because I got this far without using summons. And this guy is doing them all hitless while using a saxophone to play?! Lol. What in the actual fuck, indeed!

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    That's exactly how I use my RoB - two handed. Just feels more effective overall. I have maxed out a few other weapons - Morgott's Cursed Sword, Blasphemous Blade, and a Nagakiba - but I still prefer the RoB. Having said that, Mohg phase 2 when he gets wings is kicking my ass pretty good. Dude...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    When I beat the game the first couple times last year, I ran with a RoB and a blood-loss build and had to summon ashes for most of the big boss fights. So my goal for this new run-through, in addition to shaking off the rust in prep of the DLC, was to use a completely different weapon/build and...

    It's been probably 9 months or so since I last played ER so I decided to do a fresh run-through again in anticipation of the DLC. Some things came back very quickly. Others I had totally forgotten about. Margit and Rennala were both one-shots, which was a bit surprising and unexpected. On the...

    Belichek and Carroll fired. Saban retiring. Harbaugh undoubtedly leaving for the NFL. The CFP expanding from 4 to 12. Super conferences in the Big Ten and SEC while the Pac 12 folds. The understatement of the year is that both the college and pro football landscapes will look wildly different...
