    What do you do?

    So I had my 2.5 hour technical interview yesterday. It was more of a hang out for 2 hours, listening in on some trouble shooting calls, get a tour of the place, and the server room which was pretty cool, and then about a half hour of technical stuff. All seemed to go well, and I figured I'd get...

    What do you do?

    I agree chaos. Quite the ringer. As mentioned, the only thing I can think of is that the staffing agency has shown some duds before and so this is the new process to try and weed that out. I did find out that the department I'm going to has a new "director" that just took over in July and I...

    What do you do?

    Yeah. I've had 2 technical phone interviews to go with it, and the kicker is that this is all through a staffing agency. I feel like they must of been burned before and are scared now.

    So I've had another phone interview for a job. Brings it to 3 total and this last one was the exact same questions as the 2nd phone interview, just with the director over the department. Im now scheduled for a 3 hour on site interview. They are gonna ask me situational questions about how to...

    This is true. 90% of my gaming is MMO's, where there is an easy min/max build that you should be doing. I was thinking about it, and I keep trying to find the build that just let's me rock all this stuff easily. Was working as a sorcerer pretty good in the beginning, compared to melee, the...

    The mace dudes in tower of flame are quite possibly the most annoying shit as a melee with their laser targeting and spinning. Wtf.

    Absolutely can't wait to start gaming with my kids. Oldest is 2.5. At what age is this stuff meant for? Never looked into it, but only have a ps4 so would be the infinity stuff or Lego dimensions I guess? Amiibo are for the wii?

    I should have spent them earlier. Just one of those things that I didn't expect to die to something I had killed 3 times before without trouble. Damn it! Started up a new character, but not sure what I want to make it. I love the variety of classes you can be and I love how the knowledge of...

    Just lost 11k souls, and I'm level 43 so it means quite a bit. Would have been 3-4 more levels. This makes me want to rage and quit, but at the same time I just want to keep playing and try again. Does this game make anyone else feel like this. This rage, followed by an inability to quit...

    I read a guide about equipment to get as a sorcerer and it was talking about a staff that takes 20 int and 20 faith to use but it was bad ass. That still a valid item? Should I even worry about faith for just 1 piece of gear?

    Ohhhh! Ok! That ogre did give some trouble as a melee, until I had the fire sword. Mage killed him right away. He doesn't spawn for me anymore. It seems there's some kind of anti farm mechanic in game. I'm rocking in Heide's tower of flame now! The anti farm thing has made it easier. I was...

    The Ogre didn't give me any trouble because I've had tons of practice on killing those from the 2 that are down below the Cardinal tower bonfire near the Fire longsword. Trust me, I had tons of trouble with them at first! Lol I'm not sure yet. My caster was my first toon and started as a...

    Check craigslist as well to see if someone is unloading anything. I remember last time I looked at those Aeron, there were a few people unloading a few of them much cheaper than you could buy anywhere else.

    I bought a 518 mouse off eBay for around $40, so if you want another one it's not impossible to find. Was brand new. I did that instead of figuring out some kind of successor I would have to get used too.

    Success!!! Feels good man! So the platform where the Persuer shows up just once, there's some loot up there. I wanted it! But getting rushed by 3 of the Knights was killing me a lot.

    Well, I'm glad I'm not alone. Lol. It's a compounding problem because as I get more frustrated I don't think as clearly, charge in more, and die more. Ugh. As much as I want to send it back and get the next game on my Gamefly queue I do think that I will push on and finish it. I wonder what...

    Yeah, I do have that bonfire. Was making some progress, and was up to 4500 souls because I would kill the spear duo, then the archer and turtle dude but was having some trouble with the 3 dudes up top of the roof. Wanted the loot up there. Finally do it. Die to the last guy. Lol.. Then I come...

    Dark Souls is pretty much making me want to give up gaming entirely and just accept that I'm an old ass bastard that sucks at games now. I could hide my inept gaming ability regarding first person shooters by just saying I wasn't into them. Enough agreed with me that it was easy. But now I'm...

    If I really thought about it, I would probably agree that the funnest part of the game was in that middle area where you had some, but not all your OP abilities. Although for some reason it never got old just slaying so many Orcs. I'm pretty noob though, and so I would still die sometimes from...

    I had a lot of fun just killing. I'd walk into a orc base and ring a bell, and see how long I could go. It was just really fun killing. Popping orc heads and things. I think also it was so satisfying because in the beginning I died a lot from being a noob and not having all the cool killing...

    I was getting basically to the Cardinal tower bonfire area on everyone. Reason for this is that my sorcerer could kill the turtle looking hammer dudes easily, but I didn't like running out of magic. My Dex character I didn't like because I was doing terrible damage, so the bigger bads were...
