    Dark Souls

    I did it! By myself. No parrying. What a shitty ending. What the hell.

    Dark Souls

    I placed down a summon sign, got summoned. Help the dude defeat the boss and then got booted back to where I initially was. Does defeating bosses in co-op not count?

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Finished downloading the client a bit ago. Fired the game up. Love the character art. But once in the game my immediate impression is that it feels like a FTP title. Performance is also kinda bleh... I have a 2500K with a Radeon 6870 and the framerate isn't particularly smooth. Not choppy...

    Dark Souls

    I'm pure melee. I can get him to half health by rotating around that one rock formation at the front. He just starts going nuts at some point and wears me out. Let me know if anyone would care to summon my ass and help me finish this playthrough. I'm on a PS3. PSN name is djgLXXII

    Dark Souls

    Oh God, I'm on Gwyn now and I can't cheese this with iron flesh. Looks like parrying is the only real way to beat this guy? It's dumb that I'm level 96 and stuff still destroys me. It's like level doesn't really mean anything.

    Investing

    I was listening to FOX Business and they had a dude on talking about "Motif Investing". It actually sounds pretty interesting. Thought I'd share it here: Online Broker, Investment Ideas, Online Stock Trading | Motif Investing Anyone have any experience with these guys? Thoughts?

    The Walking Dead

    THAT's who that was. As soon as I saw her I thought, damn she looks awfully familiar. Hasn't aged well. Of course it's been 27 years. oh god....

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Yeah I've been wondering when he's gonna fucking ruin this like he did Trek.

    Rick and Morty

    Was there not a new episode this past Monday (3/17)? Episode 8 has yet to appear in my usual sources. EDIT: Nevermind. Right here on freakin' YouTube. Would rather have the rip, though.

    Justified (Season 5 - Jan 7th)

    Yeah, but i guess that would've been too predictable. Although it damn well looked like he may have made that 21 feet.

    Looking for a computer program that can find and edit text in multiple files

    If aaron wants to learn how to program then it's best to find a simple project to work on. Just reading a book or following a tutorial isn't quite the same.

    Justified (Season 5 - Jan 7th)

    Well, fitting end for Danny Crowe.

    Streaming video from PC to TV

    God damn it. I ordered a Roku3 because my WDTV Wireless is a piece of shit and HEY guess what I discovered after setting it up? Rokus doesn't allow SMB file sharing. What. the. fuck. My fault for not thoroughly researching this but I just assumed that any modern player would have this feature.

    Looking for a computer program that can find and edit text in multiple files

    Yeah this would be trivial in C# or VB. In fact I could probably write you something in a few minutes. Is this on a Windows PC?

    Vikings

    Yeah, kinda lost me at the end of season 1. I don't see Ragnar as a hero but as a cheating asshole now instead.

    King of the Nerds

    I think Xander was my favorite. He is a genuinely funny guy and stayed totally under the radar the entire time.

    Movies That Would Be Made, If You Could Make It Happen

    Dragonlance Trilogy. Loved those books as a kid.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Neil makes such a great host. The material wasn't anything I wasn't already familiar with, but his explanations really held my attention. I love his interaction with the sets too. And, yes, a very good explanation of evolution. Quite surprised this is on Fox.

    Dark Souls

    Fucking hilarious. Tried Four Kings again, after shelving the game for 6 months, and beat it first try.

    The Walking Dead

    What I liked about this episode was that, in the end, Carrol did what had to be done.

    Bates Motel

    New season started 2 weeks ago. Good so far, nothing mind blowing yet.

    Anything worth buying a PS4 over?

    Yeah, I bought a PS4 at launch and it's barely been on for more than a total of 10 hours. I don't regret it, though, games are coming. BUT if money is tight I wouldn't bother right now. My PS3 still gets a lot of use, though. Lots of good games out there to play and the graphics aren't...

    Dark Souls

    God damn, I forgot about that section. Ugh, I really don't want to replay through all of that. It's funny, I've played Dark Souls on and off for the past, what? 2 years, get stuck on an area, finally get passed it, and hit a brick wall again. Those archers were a pain in the ass. The bosses...

    Dark Souls

    All this talk of Dark Souls II makes me want to go back and complete the first one. I bought Dark Souls when it first came out and just rolled my own character and just randomly went with stats and weapon choices. Game got annoyingly difficult late in the game and I gave up at the multi-King...

    How was season 2? I watch about half of season 1 before losing interest.

    SyFy network admits they fucked up

    I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with Syfy's current programming. They have (or had) quite a few science fictiony shows post Stargate and BSG: Warehouse 13, Haven, Defiance, Sanctuary, etc. The problem is that they aren't very good. Granted they aren't absolute drek, but...

    Stumpled upon this a couple years ago. I thought it was pretty funny: BBC Two - Psychoville

    Monicas we love

    Actually, no, I haven't. But "Monica" sounds nothing like "My American Inventor", no matter how quickly it's said or slurred. Dumb.

    Monicas we love

    Yeah, still not getting it.

    Monicas we love

    I don't get it.

    Falling out of love with gaming

    I play games because everything else is boring or too much work.

    Rick and Morty

    Wow, the end of "Rick Potion #9" was some fucked up shit.

    Grimm

    Seriously. In fact, I think the series might work better as a 12 episode summer run.

    HDTVs

    What is everyone's opinion on ordering a TV from a online retailer like NewEgg or Amazon? My main concern, of course, is if the unit is damaged during shipping or just defective. Do either of these guys offer free RETURN shipping? I do not cherish the idea of shelling out $50+ shipping it back.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    If you want to learn the Microsoft stack, then C# is fairly easy to learn (you could go VisualBasic if the C syntax looks weird). Tons of good books out there and Visual Studio is the best IDE out there.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I wanted a decent daily driver and had been looking around for a low-mileage Civic or something. I couldn't find a damn thing that wasn't already close to the price of something new. So, I settled on a 2014 Ford Fiesta. I demand a manual tranny so I had to special order the car. I placed the...

    Haha god damn. Yeah, this is pretty funny.

    Does anyone else find tube socks the exact opposite of 'sexy'?
