So I got Dark Souls a day ago, started playing it today and two FUCKING skeletons keep on killing me over and over again. Either I'm doing something wrong or this game is designed for post-humans with intellect and reflexes far surpassing mine.

Yeah, Dark Souls is supposed to be ridiculously hard.

Finally started playing Fallout: New Vegas again. One of my saves was in the middle of the Dead Money DLC, so I fired that one back up to get it taken care of. Several hours of frustration later, I have managed to set off the fireworks. (I had previously gathered the team.) Whoever made those maps should be fired! It wasn't an issue of "oh crap, there is poisonous gas there." It was "OK, how do I get to the quest marker? It's right there, but there is a wall in my way and I cannot get around it." On top of that, the character I was playing with is not statted for melee weapons, but that is all I can use to attack. (I did find a gun - which is the character's strength - but there is only so much ammo and I don't know if I will need it later. Can't hit worth a darn with the spears.)

Finally, finally finished feeding Manaphy in PMD: Explorers Of Sky. If it weren't for the Kecleon shop selling Blue Gummis, I'd be dead in the water by now.
Ok seriously, is nobody even going to try and avenge my man-burrito?

It will only get even worse, trust me.

Oooh did you get the Holorifle?  I think that might be one of the more powerful guns in the game.

Ironbite-should save some money up and get Dead Money....heard it's an awesome expansion.

The Holorifle quickly became my best friend in that DLC.

I think it became everyone's best friend in that DLC and beyond.

Ironbite-one of the best guns in the game and that's coming from a guy who enjoys shooting people in the head with a hunting rifle from 500 yards away.

I stuck with the Oh, Baby! Unique Super Sledge for the most part, really. Even after Dead Money.

Meh...I don't truck with Melee weapons.  Much prefer sniper to close quarters combat.

Ironbite-best to take care of things before they get to you I always say.

Agreed....Close quarter combat with a Deathclaw Alpha or Deathclaw Mother is not a bright move....those things are fast.

Which is why, if I make a melee/unarmed character, I always splash em with some explosives skill.  A deathclaw's nothing if they go thru a minefield getting to you.

Long range usually helps....Unless you happen upon a rather large next of Deathclaws...babies, regulars, Alpha and Mother....there is a big nest on the other side of the river down from the dam....I died there quite a lot trying to get the power armour there.

I like to use mid/long range scoped rifles for the most part, but switch to something fully automatic if I get swarmed.

Yes, but I am lacking in ammo. I have 9 rounds left. I thought it used MF Cells, so I made more of them. No, it uses MF Cell B's, which I do not have, cannot find, and cannot make.

I hate it. Although that is mostly because of the frustrating and misleading maps and combat. The story is pretty cool.
