    Dark Souls 2

    Leans I just did Royal Rat Vanguard and I'm disappointed expected a challenge but got him 3rd try. The answer to trivialize him is obvious if you think about it.

    Dark Souls 2

    Progressing ok today. Pursuer, Dragonrider, Last Giant, Skeleton Lords, and Old Dragonslayer down so far. Trash is giving me more trouble than bosses so far.

    Never! Souls titles are easy - gonna plat it minus the death trophy. Honest. (This impression of Column was brought to you for the amusement of people - do not say obviously moronic things like this intentionally without expecting backlash)

    Good coffee is amazing, bad coffee is hellish. Its similar to beer that way. Start with lattes or coffee ice cream as a gateway and your tune will likely change. (Although that said I prefer tea besides lattes)

    Upcoming Games of 2014

    Child of Light has a date and price - $15 April 30 with cross buy on PS3/4 digital only in the US, deluxe retail edition in EMEA looks nice but we're not getting it here...

    Archer

    Indeed, wasn't the best episode but at least it felt like Archer finally.

    Health Care Thread

    That's a ton to track plus the whole thing with secondary and tertiary policies, my wife and I carry 3 standard health insurances each so we'd count three times under each insurance company reporting. If that was even an option which it's not under HIPA without a waiver per client. So good...

    Bite me - UPS estimate is 2-4pm EST tomorrow and I've gotta run the woman all over until 6pm... Gonna be a painful 18 hrs waiting from when I know I could have it legit.

    Sean complaint box

    Anyhow - I'm done advising here - trying to platinum South Park before Dark Souls 2 gets here tomorrow, so this is cutting into that project of mine. I do highly suggest getting Draegan to post what the moderation rules are however - because it could very well be that Sean is following them...

    Sean complaint box

    Most efficient way to deal with a circular argument when you're moderating is to remove the person that is causing it to continue - which as you can tell from how the tangent continued - removing you did kill it. Mass bans aren't usually kosher barring serious oddities. (In fact, in moderating...

    If you've got the moderator's rules I'd be glad to read them and compare his actions - but I don't think they've made them public - if there's none and it's just "act as you see fit" the criticism falls on him versus the moderation rules. Do we know which applies here?

    Sean complaint box

    (In case you're wondering why I'm "defending policy" I've moderated a number of forums before and it's very thankless and almost all are pretty strict about following X/Y/Z procedures with bans/suspensions/squelches - there was plenty of times I had to step in on my other forums in a way I felt...

    Sean complaint box

    No idea the reference there mkopec to compare against - got a link? And moderation tiers usually start at warnings under most rules that forums use for moderators to follow - but most also have some criteria where you skip straight to bannings/suspensions and the like. (Which we've got RRP...

    Sean complaint box

    I never said that - again, showing yourself to be less than mature - taking the high road and signing off from something with a "I disagree, I feel X - nothing you say will change that - but I'm done discussing it with you" - is appropriate for times like that where it just becomes a circular...

    Sean complaint box

    Not saying the amount of intervention could or could not have been inappropriate (really that comes down to the moderation rules - which aren't on public display here) - but some level was needed. It might be that they've got a strike system for mods where if you've got multiple strikes in...

    Sean complaint box

    Probably because of their history - looking back over it, it's clear that one of you needed a breather. Given that Sean dislikes Column, he leaned that way. Problem was solved with one of you out of the way.

    Sean complaint box

    You're flipflopping like makes you annoying in that thread right now and/or being obtuse, Column. I'm personally done discussing it with you - I've given you the advice I could - hopefully you have the maturity to take it to heart, because right now you're demonstrating that you did need some...

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    As I said, it was excellent as an introduction - I'm just hoping I don't need to wait for Season 2 to really enjoy learning stuff myself. I understand the need, I just hope I'm not bored by getting stuff rehashed the entire time. [Perhaps NOVA ScienceNow! with him had me spoiled - so much of...

    a_skeleton_03 and Merlin do it in places Sean rarely views though. (And I'd tend to disagree with a_skeleton_03 although I've not tread into the religion thread that I've heard is his opus) Column: Mods aren't here to RRP people for going after them, they're here to moderate the forum - for...

    How do you know he's got you on ignore? I'm sure he might have at one point - but as someone who uses it sometimes - I usually only leave people on ignore a week or two before I return them to normal, personally. And there's no "losing end" to the argument - it's an intellectual discussion...

    Sean complaint box

    Hell, I've never been RRPed and I've had some pretty lengthy arguments with Sean on shit (Look back into the Dead Space 3 thread if you have any doubts - yes, I thought it was OKish - lambaste me for it...) but after it started to get too annoying on either side of the equation I said "Ok, we'll...

    Column was being retarded for at least 2 full pages - talking about how Twitch was huge now for fighting games compared to 1998 and shit. (And then later compared to 5 years ago... in both cases neglecting to note that Twitch went into existence in mid 2011 - and of course that most people had...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Got stuff I'd want to play on mine (and did Thief on it recently, obviously) - but it's a symptom of so much good stuff for the PS3 the past couple months than lack of desire to play it - Dead Nation and Outlast are two freebies I intend to give some time to, but new AAA stuff's been keeping me...

    There's no public database of insured people yet - after the insurance mandate is in place there will MOSTLY be one (those that take insurance and opt to not report it and take the penalty will be the only "hidden ones" then) - until then there's literally no way to track it other than voluntary...

    True we won't know for absolutely sure for a while - but there's certainly more evidence supporting the theory than kudos' "consoles are going to fade away to a shadow of themselves" nonsense and other such nutter bullshit as things stand today though.

    Dark Souls 2

    Frankly, too quick of a load time would be a bad thing for DS IMO - so many times I'd need a breather after a close death... only running around between areas warping would it really bother me.

    The demand for ANYTHING via Twitch and the like was zero five years ago. People had worse connections than Sean for average people five years ago - streaming was impossible on those connections. (Hell, Twitch started in 2011... the most popular streaming example didn't even EXIST five years...

    More streams than 1998 when streams didn't exist? How the fuck could that happen?! And I'm not a fighting game fan anymore - I tried coming back after your comments, and you're right - they're ADHD crap now. PS - Pretty sure there's not 50k pots running around for fighting tournaments - I...

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    It was excellent as an introduction - but I really hope they move more into "new stuff" for episode 2 on - I was looking forward to learning lots of new stuff while being entertained - and while I was entertained, all the rest was old hat besides learning about Sagan and Neil's personal...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Not talking my tastes - clearly fighters don't resonate with me anymore with how ADHD they've gotten (remember I was a VF fan - SF/Marvel are still in my "bane" range, personally) - talking EVERYONE'S tastes. They don't even sell well enough to be plentiful anymore, remember there used to be two...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    The fighting game community is going to go with the best of the ones available, that's a given - it's the best of a shitty pile of games - it's a 7 sitting on a pile of 5's not a 10 because everything surrounding it is shit. 10k people watching really doesn't mean anything - that's probably...

    He thinks the new KI is amazing, I don't think much more need be said about how much he believes in reviews... it's probably the best fighting game in a while, but that doesn't say too much with how terrible the field has been - doesn't make it a great game, just it's the best of a huge pile of...
