Games / The Demon's/Dark Souls Megathread Spectacular
« on: June 24, 2013, 07:33:37 PM »

A thread dedicated to the various walkthroughs/fight clubs/builds/videos of the Souls games, by From Software

The hell am i looking at here
The Souls series is a term referring to the various hack-and-slash rpgs made by From Software, all conveniently ending in "souls".
This thread is created with the purpose of guiding players through the sometimes intentionally confusing games and creating events to spice up the otherwise dull "bow n' backstab" PvP.

What game do i start with?
That is a choice that is entirely up to you, depending on what platform you own. The two Souls games currently released have no plot connecting them, but people who play both can see similarities and some form of continuity. However, Demon's Souls is a PS3 exclusive, so if you own one, don't hesitate to purchase both games. Dark Souls is available on PS3, XBox 360, and the PC. They are similar, although Demon's Souls is much more atmospheric(read:darker) while Dark Souls boasts a more open world and not quite as much bullstuff(read:mega casual)

This is boring. I want something more exciting.
Assuming you didn't pick the PC version, the online communities on both games are thriving and you can usually find what you're looking for in the PvP or co-op.

Help, I'm stuck!
Post a coherent request in this thread and someone will hopefully be there with to help, either with advice or a summon sign. Remember to include your username and Soul Level

Games / Tribes: Ascend [Closed Beta] - VGS is all you need
« on: January 19, 2012, 07:25:16 PM »

Tribes: Ascend is a fast-paced class-based shooter that's modeled around gaining momentum with a system called "Skiing", which can be comparable to Blockland's skis, for an easy reference. The game is currently in closed beta, and invites have been sent out to owners of Hi-Rez accounts.

A 100% CHANCE OF ACTION

So anyway, anyone else got a key? It's a pretty fun game.

Games / ♫ Kickass game music ♪
« on: December 20, 2011, 04:37:09 PM »
Everyone has that one song. Whether it be a calm, simple background song, a fast and hectic boss track, or, hell, even the menu music, there is just one song that you love and can't get enough of. This is the thread to share that music, alerting others to the presence of that one damn good song from that damn good game on that damn good system. I'll kickstart this with some of my own personal choices:

Command and Conquer: Red Alert - Crush
Say what you will about Red Alert, but if there is one thing I like about it, it's the music player. There are many memorable tracks from this RTS (the most common probably being Hell March), but Crush was always my favorite. It's the perfect battle music.
Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - The Industrial Park
Battle for Bikini Bottom was, and still is, one of my favorite games. It was fun, humorous, and challenging enough to make me toss a controller at the floor a couple of times. The music deserves special mention, because it is just so damn good. The boss music, in particular, adds that right mix of atmosphere that really livens up the bosses. On the subject of the Industrial Park, did they know it was a Spongebob game when they composed this?
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island - Castle Fortress
Now, unlike the other songs, I'm not going to write a paragraph for this, but I would like to mention that I could not pick a better song for a dungeon. I don't know how they do it.

So, there's mine, now let's see yours.

Possibly the most badass Star Wars parody ever to be created. Two men, two cellos, and John Williams.
as a bonus, see if you can spot all of the songs used in the video!

Games / Suggest some games to buy
« on: October 21, 2011, 04:58:46 PM »
Well I managed to get my dad in a good enough mood to buy me a game. This is a rare occurrence, so I want to take advantage of it.
The only problem is I have no idea what to buy.
So could you all belch out some of your favorite titles so I can decide faster, please? I would be most appreciative.
Games I enjoy:
Single player RPGs (Oblivion, Mass Effect, etc.)
Chaotic shooters (TF2, Unreal Tournament, etc.)
Platformers (Psychonauts, Battle for Bikini Bottom, etc.)
Brawlers (No More Heroes, War of the Monsters, etc.)
Open adventure games (Metroidvania styled)

« on: September 10, 2011, 03:42:07 PM »

http://us.akinator.com/ for those who don't know what I'm talking about

You answer the questions relevant to yourself
but when it ask if you're from a video game/cartoon/anime you say yes and it'll respond with the character you're most like.

Off Topic / So I just got back from Norway yesterday
« on: July 26, 2011, 08:12:31 AM »
So every year my grandparents pay for my family to go on a one week-trip to Florida to visit them. This has been great in the past and I was happy with just doing that again this year. But this year they decided that we would go on a cruise ship and see the Fjords in Norway. They sent us (and themselves) on a plane in first class to London, where we spend four days seeing all that London has to offer. After that, we got on the cruise and sailed to Norway and back again, all over the course of two weeks.
I have never done anything like this in my entire life. I felt really out of place among much more wealthy families than mine, and it's still very surprising to me that I actually went somewhere that wasn't on the east coast of the United States of America. It was pretty sweet, especially Westminster Abbey, a place my brother has wanted to see for the longest period of time.
But now I'm home in Pennsylvania and can eat dinner without putting on a loving tux. Discuss.

Off Topic / Band Concert forget yea
« on: May 17, 2011, 04:17:25 PM »
So on Wednesday I'll be playing in my middle school's concert band on a Bass Clarinet. I'm pretty excited about it, we've been practicing for several months now. These songs we've been practicing are:
  • The Star Spangled Banner (durr)
  • New Age Overture by forgeted-if-I-remember (I like)
  • Land of the Rising Sun - A Japanese folklore trilogy (best song in the concert)
  • Prelude #20 by who-cares (not a fan of this song personally)
  • Root Beer Rag by Billy Joel (aaaaawwwww yeah)
  • The Planets - Mars, Venus, and Jupiter by Gustav Holst (oh hell yes)
I'm just really excited because this will be my last concert with my loving awesome band teacher before moving on to High School.
Also our totally 1337 Jazz Band will be performing, but because I'm not in it I don't know their songs. But I have heard them before and they sound loving awesome.

so discuss band concerts and such I guess. I just felt like sharing this because I'm SO EXCITED.

Gallery / A bar of some sort
« on: May 07, 2011, 05:51:52 PM »
Jesus forget it's been a while since I actually built something in-game. Not wanting to get rusty and having previously listened to "Sailing over the dogger bank" over and over and over again, I built some sort of bar of some sort.

Here's the view from outside, where the entire build can be seen on stilts.

What the player sees as soon as entering the bar of some sort. Someone remind me to get some lighting there.

A view of what's around the corner. The piano works and the fireplace is too loving bright.

This entire bar of some sort adds up to 300 bricks on the spot. It was made with mostly default bricks and emitters and such, including JVS doors and inverted ramps. I feel like it's lacking something, so expect me to make a post at a later date with some new content. In the mean time, rate on whatever scale you feel is appropriate and, as always, feel free to suggest things to improve and expand on the build.

Off Topic / Unavailable Number keeps harassing my family
« on: April 25, 2011, 01:43:10 PM »
So every day, sometimes twice a day, this strange number keeps calling my house. The caller ID is "unavailable number - 877-405-4706", and they never leave a message. It can't be a telemarketer, because they always leave a message.
I'm just kinda freaking out about this I apologize.
Any ideas what it could be?

Forum Games / The Doctor is in: A community MSPA
« on: October 23, 2010, 08:24:47 AM »

You are the top doctor in the city. Patients line up for miles just to get a referral. But up until now, everyone has been referring to you as "The doctor". Your personality is as bland as oatmeal. Today is the day you change that.
This is where the community comes in. Take the picture, edit it so the doctor has a new name and something awesome like a hat or hair.

Off Topic / My keyboard broke D:
« on: October 12, 2010, 02:35:39 PM »
Yes, my keyboard broke. If you question how I'm typing this, you shouldn't ask. The answer is obvious.
Any ideas on how to fix it? I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in again and restarting my computer.
I'm not quite sure what kind of keyboard it is, but it came with my Dell XPS 410.
Help?

« on: October 07, 2010, 05:00:45 PM »
Oooh fancy words
Basically I'll be posting several pieces of art in this thread.
Like... this!

Call it what you want. I made the skin, I'm calling it art.
and... this!

I'm pretty sure it's a fursona. Am I doing it right?
Also, because I'm an uncreative fat I lack ideas on what to draw, I accept requests if someone out there likes my drawing.
