Yes they were rough. Same with those two ogre kind of guys. If one gets out of your range of view while you're fighting them it's bad news. Moving onto other events I just got back to Father Gascoigne. This battle is nasty... I got him down to half his energy once and that was pretty much all I was good for.

That's easily one of the toughest fights in the base game, and a gigantic difficulty spike. It wouldn't be as bad if he couldn't break the gravestones in phase two (or if the gravestones didn't impede your own dodging). Toward the end of the Cathedral Ward, along a branching path, you'll find some hostile hunters that will probably pose a serious threat, as well. One of them has a blunderbuss, so I would advise you to take your own so you can actually manage to stun him. That guy was just eating through my blood vials because he kept shooting me close up (I was using the single-shot gun, and with all of his dodging, I needed to be closer to guarantee I hit him).

You only log on once and it's saved forever. Have you tried hitting the icon to flip screens.

The trials in the Zelda dlc is awesome. I beat the beginner trials. Loved the one with the raft. The one where lizafos immediately jump you is bunk though.

Internet Reacts Badly To The New Snake Pass Menu Icon


Got to admit, I wholeheartedly agree. The icon is ASS.


You may have noticed that the Switch menu icon changed from this inoffensive and pleasant icon:



2017033112041600-57b4h1kws.jpg

...to this shovelware smartphone app style abomination:



2017070521571500-57b4sgj21.jpg

Since this update there has been a barrage of demands from players to revert back to the old icon


Now there is also a NeoGAF thread entitled "Snake Pass, and how a bad home menu icon drags down my enjoyment of a game", it predictably features lots of comments from folks saying how much they hate the icon too and some suggestions for alternatives which could be fun...



NeoGAF

So with all these protests you might imagine that the lovely folks over at Sumo Digital would quickly attempt to rectify this egregious decision, but they are sticking to their guns. This menu icon is going to stay, suck it up chumps

I just want to say that Verizon has BY FAR the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

I moved into my new house back in January. Since that time, I have had nothing but trouble with my Fios account. They were supposed to transfer my shit from one place to another...simple. But instead they began double billing me for my old place and my new place....at one point they had turned my phone off then back on. My online account just lists phone on my bill and not tv or internet like it's supposed to be.

I called these assholes SIX TIMES since january...each time they say they need to talk to the IT dept and the problem will be fixed....it never is. The last two times I've called, they've given me a separate number to call, apparently the management dept...where I've called 4 times and nobody ever answers the phone, all you get is voicemail. I've left two messages telling them I was expecting a call back...they don't call back. And now the other day I got a collection letter in the mail for an "overdue" bill.

These people are a fucking joke.

I finally decided to play Valkryia Chronicles, only had that game for 8 years unplayed. Really addicting fun TBS game. The missions are quite varied and the way the action plays out isn't pretty different from xcom, good stuff.

Who's getting Final Fantasy 12 HD next week? I am....I plan on replaying the shit out of that classic. I have a feeling it's going to be more appreciated now than it was in 2006, with the whole open world thing going on.

You lose 10 gamer points for sitting on the game for this long, and you are ineligible for any place higher than second in most games beaten for the year.
