I think I will have clocked over eighty hours on this character by the time I finish NG, and it still seems like it's over too quickly.  I suppose that's what happens when you treat a game like a second career.

As a Battlefield fanatic, I can categorically say that there are significant differences between BF and COD.  Actually, there is ONE significant difference, but it's very significant: size.  Battlefield maps tend to be huge, covering several square miles.  Call of Duty maps tend to be small, like your local laser tag…

I DON'T GET IT. EXPLAIN THE JOKE.

Yeah, I'm aware that it doesn't benefit from increased stats.  If I found a dragon scale, I could upgrade it, but I haven't seen one yet.  Since I tried venturing into the Catacombs for a while, I upgrade Astora's Straight Sword to +3, and now it's almost on par with the Drake Sword for me.

Thankfully, I do not.

I'd like to propose the the following title:  "So THAT'S What a Diner Is!"

Melee attacks do track your movement a little.  Avoiding an attack by rolling means you have to time it a bit late, or move probably more than ninety degrees off their forward facing.

That's the easy way, but guess what?  You won't find anymore black firebombs for a while.  There's also a lightning weapon buff that will make it easy to kill him in a few swipes…but I wouldn't waste that, either.  Save those for actual tough bosses.

To each their own.  You and VanDerWerff give the episode lower marks than I would.  Strangely, VDW acknowledges what made this such a terrific episode for me — it had a lot of top-notch ha-ha comedy.  I like all the other stuff, but excellent comedy can be enough.

I wrote this post specifically to concur with everyone in this thread.

It would be realistic and amusing if the characters in the show came up with these alter-names for each other.  Like Olivia might one day call Earth-2 Olivia "Fauxlivia," and Earth-2 LL might reply that they actually refer to her (Earth-2 Olivia) as "Ourlivia" and they call (Earth-1) Olivia "Theirlivia".  I mean, how…

I love me some O'Neal, but that last sentence didn't quite parse for me.

Interesting observation, probably true.  Neither show is capable of coasting on a schtick, and when they try to it's painful to watch.

Everyone is saying obvious stuff.

Yes, tell the ladies that you vow to have a job until you get them pregnant, at which point you intend to leave said job.  No doubt you will be up to your neck in high quality poon, I envy you already.

Looks like I'm going to have to watch it again (if I can find it).

This may be heresy, but I listen to all three albums together enough that I have a hard time telling them apart.  They're all just so damn good.  And "Don't You Worry Bout a Thang" has a very special significance to me as the song playing when I was rushing a friend to the hospital (she survived).

O'Neal is freaking hilarious.  I keep telling people that he has a couple of standup specials out there (one on comedy central and one on HBO) that are probably the funniest sets I've seen in over a decade.  I heard somewhere that he tends to say stupid misogynistic things that get him in trouble (usually not a…

Can you really just walk away after you indirectly cause a homeless man to die?  There is only one way to find out.

All of them?
