The ones for PSN don't have a tax, but the ones for 3DS do. At least, that's what it was like the last time I bought one. It's been a while.

I don't lie... but the fact that you get taxed twice, once when you buy a points card and once more when you buy an e-shop game with those points, has tempted me. That doesn't seem fair, unless I'm missing something.

It's also a reason to link Generation 16 (I recommend people watch the whole series).

Is anyone playing Destiny of Spirits? It's free.

The music in Luftrausers becomes noticeably more triumphant as you approach death. I just thought I'd mention that, even if it's admittedly a very minor, and possibly unintentional, touch. And yeah... listening to Rami on the Indie Haven podcast (horrible audio quality, by the way), gave me the impression that they didn't have much of a vision. That's obviously not what he said, but that's how I read it.

I've been tempted. I sure looks cool... and seems like it'd be fun to control.

It's hard to say… I don’t like some of the changes they made to the combat. My attacks won’t connect if an enemy is too small (which is really annoying for crystal lizards). There’s actually a boss that can’t hit you with its melee attack when you’re close. It's good that enemies also play by those rules otherwise it wouldn't be fair, but it's still weird to say the least. At times, I'd hit an enemy and my attack would knock them back, so then my follow-up attack wouldn't connect. The world doesn't make sense to me. In Dark Souls, you rang the bells of awakening to open Sen's Fortress, to prove your worth and get flown to Anor Londo. In Dark Souls 2, Item descriptions seem uninspired. Too many of them basically amount to “No human could lift this” or “Its wielder is unknown.” Where's the story?

Oh, shit! I totally didn't mean to spoil! I'm sorry. I beat the game, by the way. Didn't end up liking it as much as Dark Souls 1, unfortunately.

You just named my two least favorite areas. The one thing I like about Earthen Peek is that

I mean inside the part that's burning, to find out why it's burning. The bonfire is beneath that, unless you're talking about a third bonfire.

Took me awhile to figure out how to level up, too. You become human by using (not burning) an effigy. Does anyone know if you can go inside Heide's Burning Tower?

Yes, why do you ask? (I undid that a long time ago.)

Yup, that's the one, the renamed the Iaito. It only takes 1 or 2 upgrades to get it to S scaling. Regarding embers,

I guess it`s hard to tell if you`re hollow.

I thought it was a bug, at first. Still not sure what the point of having that in the game is. Seems too silly for a Souls game, but that's just subjective.

Dark Souls DLC also has some of my favorite NPCs.

After 50 hours, I finally found a katana! It seems broken as fuck. You can cancel out of its heavy attack animation with a roll or a backstep. (You couldn't do that in the old game... could you?)

I don't remember any spoilers, but I might have a bad recollection (I was playin' a game while listening). Anyway, good cast. That WoW story had me in stitches.

If you need to confirm, there's also

They go through his college and work experiences in chronological order, so you should have not trouble figuring out when you want to stop listening.

Is it weird that this makes me want to play the game? Not that I approve, but I want to see for myself.

I've always made her handle rhyme with pâtisserie (French pastry) in my head.

I don't have a clever comeback, so I'll just post Cool Kong.

I was young and admittedly don't remember much, but yes. Pretty sure.
