Absolutely busting to play some Shovel Knight - definitely in my stack. Currently back on Fallout: New Vegas. For all that game's failings there's still a lot of fun to be had carving out my niche as a one-man death squad massacring Powder Gangers wherever I see them.

I'm slowxdeath on Steam.

Is anyone on here Gigadouche#1300?

I'm playing mainly TF2 on the playstation 3. I can't play any other games because my HDD is defective and every damn game I play is slow, laggy, or audio de-syncing. I still play Skyrim now and then, but the game freezes mid-game to load something and you end up playing with 20sec/2min breaks every few moments.

Sucks to be me

earthbound!
very quirky! haha

First time playing? Enjoy!

Just discovered that they released free content for Metal Gear Rising
Been playing Killer Is Dead but it's so fundamentally flawed, spent the whole time wishing I was playing MGR, so I booted it back up and found not only was it as amazing as I remembered but also there's new stuff to play through - for free!

yup! haha

Anyone playing the Dark Souls 2 DLC?

Me!
I quite like it except the stupid 'throw in more enemies to make it harder' boss battles. But the atmosphere and puzzle level design are fun.
Sadly, it seems to be totally unconnected to the main game lore wise . . .

Oh, I haven't reached a boss yet...
I hope it will reconnect to the main lore once the three DLC are released. I've been exploring and it is fun and quite tough (that joker spirit...).

Yeah, that guy is tough.
You can
-spoiler ahead-
run past him through the fog and have
1) a possibility to get wet and boost your fire resistance
2) have the mobs fight him

Btw - if you are that far then you already should have access to an optional boss fight.

Hohokum.

There is a Del Toro X Hideo Kojima demo game available for free download and play this weekend on the PS4.

Cannot stop playing Rogue Legacy. It's a genealogical rogue-type. Each time you die, you come back as the next member of the bloodline to try tackling the castle again, only it changes each time. The best part is that your descendants often have genetic impairments such as stereo blindness, vertigo or dwarfism. These all alter your play style and add an extra layer to the class system. You're presented with a choice of three from around 5 possible classes and it usually comes down to whichever seems less flawed. Great fun, punishing: like Dark Souls meets Spelunky.

Rogue Legacy sounds interesting, but from the trailer it looks like it is extremely difficult?

It's as tough as any other rogue-like. Very similar to Spelunky. It's a grind but a very enjoyable one. You will gradually make your way further through as you learn enemy attack patterns and learn to avoid danger. There's a demo out for the PC version if you have a controller to play it on, that's what I played first and it hooked me.

Thanks, I might give it a try though next to DKS2 and R-Type I might be ready for something with a less steep learning curve.

Oh, btw, this helped me kill an afternoon. Nice puzzler, just 35 levels but free.

Stuck on STAR WARS COMMANDER for the iPhone. Anyone else playing?

In the meantime I'm playing the second Dark Souls 2 DLC which is pretty awesome. I've found four out of five fireplaces and still no bosses? Very nice level design and some pretty nasty cursed areas.

Edit: the phantom mentioned above is dead. Took a while but finally took him down melee.

Playing it too and really like it. Found one boss and know where another one is but cannot access it as I need the ashen mist heart from the main game first. I really like what they did with the level design and some game mechanics (barrel carrier zombies).

Just picked it up after seeing your post. Now I am up way later than I should be.

Oh yeah, the second DLC is great, totally agree. Overall I'm really enjoying this second DS: it may not be as sharp as the first one but it's still the best game out there. I guess you're also waiting for February to come, right?
