In most fantasy stories, isn't that what vampires are supposed to be? Charismatic as fuck, drawing in victims sometimes through sheer charisma at times? Like, they can integrate themselves into society pretty easily. Broad shoulder I dunno, I think the usual image of a vampire is probably closer to the body type of a less japanese bishonen.

goddamnit ketchup
It wasn't really that impressive of an amount at food, but it broke the traditional end of night ritual of going one place for drunk food and then just heading home. Instead we finished our pizza and though "let's just go get more food instead."
Playing through Demon Souls for first time, and I think its much harder than Dark Souls.
Just got to Penetrator, that guy is obnoxious. His normal attacks scare me more than his super move, but man he is huge, fast, hits hard, and has so much HP.
EDIT: Maybe I'm just tragically underleveled or something. I SL27, just like seems impossivle to kill this guy.
FIXED THE PROBLEM GUISE downlodaed uscreen and all the mods and i managed to see the game fine checking my stream streaming more bw www.twitch.tv/teutonica

That's the point: Dracula was sheer charism (and Stoker didn't tell you "he's impressive", he made you feel the presence of Dracula in every scene he appeared in). Much better than telling readers "X is a vampire, he's smoking hot and you find him really the coolest person in the world as soon as you set eyes on him, he's so rad!". Which is lame as fuck. And about every vampire stuff I've seen/read recently (or not-so-recently).
Wave what deck/class do you want to play? or have enjoyed playing thus far? That dictates what legendary you get craft. If nothing sticks out, I'd recommend not crafting anything because 1600 dust is a lot.
I crafted Cairne since he literally fits in every deck I can think of (besides OTK and super rush down decks I suppose), which was I didn't craft Cenarius/Ysera/Jax (only usable in super late game control/class specific Legendary).
And yea, Demon Souls > Dark Souls in terms of difficulty, but I enjoyed Dark Souls overall a little more. Penetrator can be a bitch (especially the walk to him) first playthrough, but there's no real "specific level" you should fight him at. 5-10 SL's will at best let you get 3-4 shotted than 2-3 shotted.
@Teut: While I agree with your stance, I generally don't try to convince people to see it the same way. It is a touchy subject. But that was an interesting ~8 pages to catch up on.
Hope everyone had a good weekend. I went bowling. I'm shit bad at bowling, but it's a hell of a lot of fun.

After an intense battle where I pussy around and kill it with fucking magic, I think I'm lost as to where to go next. Maybe that graveyard area near Firelink...?
This was one of my favorite description posts of Dark Souls.
Had a meet-up with people from another site, spent most of the time in the gaming bar playing, and at the restaurant couldn't speak with anyone I wanted to because the owner asked me to take a corner (due to my height and meh layout of the place). Thinking about a diplomatic way to ban board/card games since as fun as they are, when there's a meet-up I'd rather talk to peole than play games that generally won't tell me anything 'bout them.
Then again most of them talked about the site's game when they talked, and the group that actually discussed something else+the cute girl who had the advantage of not being from the site (eg. insurance not to talk about the site at all) were all the way across from me.
I miss the time when these meet-ups were used to meet people, not members from the site.
If you don't have an activity to do at a meet-up (like a board/card game), chances are a lot of people would just sit there awkwardly sipping their drinks and pretending to check their phone.

When meeting up with people of the first time, it's not strange to talk about a common area of interest. Diving straight into getting to know the other people can be uncomfortable, especially for more introverted types. Although you could have ignored the owner and sat with the group that didn't talk about games.
In that case most people already know each other, at least from seeing a couple times, and some are very good friends, so they'll easily talk (like 2 groups did at the restaurant, or others did at the "after" at a couple's place), it's more that even when someone suggests a game to break the ice they'll just keep at it for the whole afternoon unless you'd actively make them stop. And there's the other problem that when they stop (including that after), they mainly talk about the site. You put them apart in groups of 3-4, you'll easily have "real" discussions with them, but it's like they're wired to talk about the site whenever they think they're with people from the site.
I mean, maybe they're the norm and you get this kind of hivemind everywhere, but from my own experience this particular community is the exception, so it gets frustrating.

I barely play constructed so it's all 'meh' to me. Best 'all-around' is probably what I'm looking for.

I hope it was accurate enough so that you actually knew exactly what part of the game I was describing. I think I'll stream for a little tonight.
I'm super stuck I think---checked out Londo Ruins---Can't go there 'cause ghosts are immune or some shit. Tried Catacombs---self-rezzing skeletons. Fuck no. Valley of Drakes---well we already know how that went. Beyond that door in the forest---narp. Forest Basin---it's either fight that crazy hydra-thing or nothing, 'cause I don't have a key to open whatever weird castle is going on down there. Basically it's either Blight-town or continue into the white light in the forest, so I'ma try that first.
