Death is different in Dark Souls. Echoing the advice Dave gave me when I first started playing, that death is not a failure state, I mean, sure, you did fail, either by being utterly outclassed and over-powered by a massive demon, by being over-confident in your abilities at taking on …
Stu recommended I watch this film. Thanks to Netflix (which I am loving, by the way), I watched it. I’ll pretty much echo Stu’s thoughts on it. These talented individuals who have devoted their lives to creating amazing videogames do not deserve the contempt which is levelled at them by …
