I'm not sure what to think, but I know what I want in Dark Souls II.

1. Keep the ability to customize your character through different weapons, armors, items, equipment, spells, etc.

2. Keep the combat and movements deliberate. I don't want Bayonetta dodge cancel out of every action style.

3. Difficult enemies and bosses.

4. An open world in the sense that you can explore areas out of sequence and that the difficulty of the area determines where you should go and not physical barriers. No linear path.

I don't think that's much to ask for.

As others have said, I hope there is a special place in Hell for this repulsive piece of shit.

And to those who are anti-gun, do you really think a fucking whack-job like this guy wouldn't have found another way to harm people? Horrible, mentally ill PEOPLE are the problem. Murdering twenty 5-6 year olds... yeah, clearly the guy was in his right mind - he just had access to guns soooo "Fuck it. I'll do the worst thing imaginable." No, he was fucking crazy.

For the record I fall somewhere in the middle on the whole gun control debate, but some responsibility needs to be assigned to the person.

So without a gun he would have gone to the school and stabbed all those kids to death? How many mass killings aside from Oklahoma have been done without guns?

His point, which I agree with, is that gun control or prohibition of any sort is not going to fix the problem when it starts and branches out from a mental health issue. Look at the bigger picture here.

Mental health issues are not exclusive to the United States, but these types of mass killings are largely an American thing. The rest of the Western world, which has stricter gun regulations, do not see the same type of gun violence despite mental health issues also existing in their country. Explain how their gun violence is so low compared to ours.

XCOM GOTY

That is crazy talk. I went into XCOM fully prepared for whatever the game was going to be after people assured me that it wasn't like FFT, Disgaea, or Devil Survivor which are games that I really enjoyed. They were right. It wasn't anything like those games because I actually had a good time with them. XCOM started strong and just fell flat on its face when the strategy I used in the beginning of the game carried me all the way to the ending and I did it at half the average party strength of the average player as shown in the ending statistics.

how many mass murders need to happen... how many five-year-olds have to die before something is done about this... and the media only perpetuates it. isn't this something like the fourth massacre in the US last eight years?

"There is no official definition of a "mass shooting," but FBI classifications describe the term as any incident in which a perpetrator kills four or more people, not including him or herself. Under that definition, 19 mass shootings have taken place since April 16, 2007, the date of the Virginia Tech massacre. That's a rate of more than one every four months -- only considering these most brutal examples. Other devastating shootings go largely unnoticed on the national stage."

For the people that say that we should keep the status quo on gun regulation in this country I have one question for you: How has that worked out?

I hope to have Sleeping Dogs done by then and my top 10 list completed. I haven't even looked at what games I've played this year, but I think it's a bit over 10 so lots will be in there by default.

Is there a way to make these avatars somewhere online that uploads them to your gamercard in BO2? Just much easier to create with a mouse on a computer than using the XBOX controller.

If such a thing exists I've never heard of it. I doubt it possible now, but it sounds like something they could patch in the future if there was enough demand for it.

Before I went to bed there were reports that there was only one gunman and that he was dead, several kids injured, but no one dead. I wake up and its 20 kids dead and 6 adults. I think it's time to really get serious about gun laws or diagnosing mental patients or something to keep these types of incidents from happening. If they can't be stopped then at least curve their frequency because it's not simply a matter of these types of stories being reported more. They are happening more often.

I had no idea this existed before today, but I'm ready for some mech action.
