Hahaha that was the best ending to that last Spelunky run since I could see it coming a few seconds before. Since I've died like that multiple times before, digging underneath a stone block.

Just have a regular party and start it up when it feels right (a couple of drinks in probably). You only need one person to give it a try (besides you) to get it going.

I made a dumb lovely clone of the Kung Foot minigame from Rayman Legends - haven't played the game myself but that part seemed great in the quick look - and have been having a ton of fun with that with my friends.

Puzzle game content is the worst. I'd like to see him suffer for an episode, as I did, but going from "harsh-but-fair" Spelunky & Dark Souls to "harsh and bullshit" La-Mulana.
Maybe the sequel will have better (easier) puzzles or maybe I'm just a baby.

What, specifically, makes the game bullshit? I haven't played it but I will in the near future.

I think my "favourite" part is that there is a giant eye in the background of some rooms that zaps you (for like a third of your health IIRC) if you try to whip a random wall, but of course some of those walls are also fake walls that can be destroyed by whipping them!

Also, Remo died in the most glorious way in today's daily: jumps on a bomb frog, then realizes he needs to get out of dodge, then a blue frog knocks him back down onto the bomb frog, and he's like "NOPE NOPE NOPE" and climbs back up only for the blue frog to knock him back down again right as the bomb frog explodes and kills him.

This is great!

I played the poo poo out of Diablo 3 for a month, stopping the day I beat Inferno, which was also the day before Inferno got majorly nerfed or buffed, can't remember. Hadn't felt an urge to go back since then because I got so burnt out, especially from those last few days when I was just grinding Diablo himself for all my awake time.

And now I'm downloading it from Battle.net again.

God drat it.

Start a new character and play at the new version of /players 8 which is "expert" difficulty

If you have a friend with a high level dude you can also do level 1-60 in about 5-10 mins

Man, powerleveling in Lord of Destruction was so dumb yet great.
Tristram, tombs, cow level, a quick detour to the ancients and then Baal for however long you could be arsed. Or ubers if you had dough.

Maybe I'll try a Wizard then, since everybody knows a cheap MF Sorc is how you start out on a new ladder!

I only had time to play about half an hour of the DaS2 beta but I don't remember the lighting being significantly different from what we got now. Could be just my bad memory though.

In any case, I am really enjoying the new Souls game. It's more of the same in a very good way, with enough (sometimes subtle) changes to keep it fresh. The lighting stuff doesn't bother me since I avoided promotional material as much as possible besides the initial reveal (which I never thought would be running on PS3/360 anyway) and it still looks really good when you use the torch and the art style is as good as the previous games - excellent.

There are so many people that go from Games Journalism into game making, but I haven't seen a lot who went in the opposite direction (though Rorie and Alex both did).
