Scoops strolling through the rest of this game is kind of a bummer. It's no fun when it's a cakewalk like this.

It looks like Dark Souls 2 is gonna fix the stat issue where you need to spread 'em around instead of dumping them all into str and end and turning unstoppable.

Well, the undead dragon did kick his rear end at level 87, so there is hope he stumbles a bit

Personal tragedy goes hand in hand with living. It's a shame the guy couldn't just offer a heartfelt apology without making himself in to the victim.

I dunno about you but I go to Giant Bomb for the latest about Vinny's bro news, Jeff's mancave corner and Brad's manscaping minute. I was also completely pissed off that they got rid of Nicholson because I really needed to know how to build up my arm strength!

Yes, how dare she say that Nazis had good fashion sense. I can't believe so many people still bring this up.

Yes, she got drunk and loud (she wasn't alone though), but the Nazis knew how to dress well and it's okay to say so. Get over yourself, Internet.

Really buddy? Sexual harassment? The man was only offering assistance should she need a penis in the near future. It's really no different than sparing a cup of sugar for a neighbor.

Thanks for the input, Jeff.
Remember that From did patch Dark Souls to make everything drop more souls, decrease aggro radius, improve physical scaling, and generally make the game easier. Yeah, incomplete information did make the game a lot harder at launch, but it was also just straight up harder at launch. Level 50 O&S and Level 80 Gwyn sounds about right for then.

Not being able to get the lantern until halfway through tomb of giants was so lovely and so great at the same time. Made that area pretty drat tense. A buddy of mine never got kicked down the hole by patches and didn't end up finding that thing at all, haha. Doing the skeleton dog area with no lantern must have been hell.

Yep it's fantastic. I almost feel bad for anyone who found a lantern before that just because of the experience they missed.

Y'know, I was going argue about how she was making some other woman's uncomfortable experience about her own dumb thing. But taking into account how horrendously sexist and socially retarded gamers are. She has probably read things that would make my hair turn white over something as petty as getting really drunk and being really obnoxious on a loving gaming podcast. Perhaps it's not so dumb!

edit: Hooray! Patrick beat the Bed of Chaos.

If you can parry, Gwyn is pretty easy, we'll see if Patrick figures it out.
