In Dark Souls, when you die, your "souls" (currency) and "humanity" (special resource) are left where you died. You have one chance to recover them.

Okay. First death, I'm carrying 200k souls (a lot) and 11 humanities. Get glitched into a wall and die to giant sentries inside Anor Londo cathedral. Okay, happens.

On my way back, I see a silver spearman. I have been farming those for the last half an hour, so I think to myself "Hey, why not. Free souls."

Miss a parry. Hit a shield with a spear which causes me to get staggered. Second and third hit are critical due to spears' special and I'm dead. Within 1 second, I just lost everything because of my (over)confidence.

GOD DAMN DARK SOULS. I had to walk away from the computer so I wouldn't smash something.
seriously. GOD DAMN DARK SOULS.

this is a fun game, your character is kind of frail so you can easily die if monsters get a couple or more good hits on you. If you have a legit copy you can fight other players too and PK ppl. Probly should have ran from any enemies until you got your stuff back, spearmen are probly more deadly than other enemies cuz of their reach. Just wish this game had limb severing and realistic vital body areas instead of a simple health bar.

It turns out your X-Com skills will have deteriorated if you haven't played since sometime last year. It doesn't help if you left off in the middle of a Muton base mission where almost everybody is dead or will die soon from fatal wounds, and you still have to hunt down that one last Muton.

I had assembled a decent looking force of a super heavy Elephant tank with elite Emperor's Own infantry and Imperial Pioneers for support. Leading them was a skilled general who was responsible for some advanced training beefing up my already potent infantry forces. My scouting efforts indicated the enemy HQ to be lightly defended, so I rushed most of my forces to the front, leaving only a hi-tech Vengeance class mecha behind to protect my homefront.

Once my army reached the Mutants' HQ, I opted to siege the defenders. Big mistake. Shortly after my decision, a large mutant strike force attacked. The fight was fierce, and though I lost all of my units and the general was taken captive, I had severely weakened their HQ. Deciding to gamble on the mutual loss of forces, I mobilized Vengeance and had it storm the Mutant capital before they could recoup their losses. They didn't stand a chance.

With Mutant threat gone, my crack general back in charge and a new army built around the superb mecha unit, it hit me. Who did I leave back home to defend my HQ?

Well apparently no-one since the squidfaced Xenopods made it there and razed my glorious palace to the ground while my fighting force was halfway across the map.

I'm still learning, that was my second finished game. I see some nice potential here, especially once I start building my own decks.

I accidentally set fire to my cellar and burnt the 100+ fishes in there.

So, there's this mission that has you set up canneries to feed the US during a nuclear panic, as well as creating general havoc to keep your prices up. You start with a good amount of money on this mission, so I set up a base to get things running, and started raking in money from cash crops. So, instead of messing with the Canned Goods Index to begin with, I set up a huge industry, exporting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cigars, rum, jewelry, and furniture. Had general happiness above 70%, and everything (including religion!) was over 50%. Set up three canneries to get to the next phase of the mission, and the Canned Goods Index immediately dropped to 0, causing me to lose before the mission really began.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

hahaha sounds like something i would do. I dont mind suiciding to get an enemy killed so i get the last laugh, even if a third party is razing my capital.

The Dragon, one of about four assault rifles in the game, has an odd secondary-fire mode called "Proximity Detonate" that turns the rifle into a proximity mine and throws it away. I almost never use it, preferring the SuperDragon's grenade launcher, but I found a use for it in Area 51: Rescue.

Near the beginning of the level there's an elevator where guards pour in from the upper levels, making it difficult to progress. I thought it'd be a good idea to toss a Dragon in the elevator shaft, thus clearing the elevator. Unfortunately, due to the way the elevator is set up the mine landed underneath the actual lift platform. No biggie, I think. After clearing the bottom floor, I notice several guards coming down the lift without triggering the explosion. I figure that the sensor is blocked by the platform and go into the elevator, figuring the Dragon will stay dormant.

BOOOOOOM "FUUUUUUUU-"

What are you playing that on?

What are you playing that on?

If you mean platform, I have it on N64 (not emulated). The N64 version is really good, but PD tops my list of games that need an official PC port and will probably never get one. Imagine the modding community, the online multiplayer, add-ons, mouse aim...

There is a massively updated version on Xbox Arcade, but I think some of the graphical updates are awkward at best and I don't own a 360 anyway.

If you mean difficulty, I was playing on Special Agent (medium).

I did mean what platform, since I'm trying to run it on an emulator, and it's not working too well.

In fact, my most recent death came from failing one of the training simulations, where you have to go unarmed against several guys, at least one of whom has a gun, near-perfect aim, and is standing on the far side of the room and you can't take a hit.

If you're running it on an emulator, I'd recommend you search for a mouse-aim addon or use a USB gamepad of some kind. It will improve your experience by orders of magnitude.

That said, emulators are only an approximation of the real thing. It's been years since I played PD on an emulator, but I know that many games suffer graphical issues and slowdown with many emulators. Try emulating Resident Evil 2 if you find the time; it is an adventure into pain.
