>Child's Play review Did you check it out? How did you like it?

>Ichi the Killer I know there's a movie of that. I've never seen it, but I might check out the manga.

>Cowboy Bebop I like that show. A lot of people prefer the English dub, but I still like the original Japanese version best.

>Forgotten to eat Didn't you feel sick to your stomach after having not eaten for so many hours? It's also not that difficult to eat and play video games simultaneously in my experinces.

>Stern 20 years in the Iso cubes just for toking up one time? You are a stern one.

>Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon I'm gonna have to read them to tell you my opinion of the movies.

>AI boundaries on the Hades Cerberus I'll work on it. When the time comes for my PAIN+ run I'll be sure to consult you for more details.

>SWFU What's the name of the boss who can be defeated by ring out? Might make for a fun video to watch.

>The monster Sounds so horrifying one might lose continence

>Child's Play If you like that movie you might enjoy the Nostalgia Critic's review of it. He's not as good as Mr. Plinkett, but he reviews way more stuff. http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/33673-childs-play

>Graphic novels I like Watchmen. I can't say I've read many others besides that Dark Tower one.

>Forgetting hunger Have you really forgotten to eat before?

>Brought low and punished Murdered just for getting a little high? My my you are stern.

>Evil Dead I like them all. I haven't seen that remake though. The first one is a pretty good horror movie.

>American Psycho I'll read it eventually, and I might consider watching it some time. If I read or see it I'll let you know.

>Amusing performances by actors They've got them, but usually in movies based on books I've read I don't like the casting choices.

>Silence of the Lambs It was a book. A sequel to another book called Red Dragon. I haven't read those, but I will get to them eventually.

>The Thing Based on a short story you say? I may have to read it. I also want to read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" Which is the story that Blade Runner is based on.

>Openings on the centaur For that particular centaur I didn't do that for very long before the legionnaires spawned. I just blocked hit hits and watched for the QTE. I didn't really think much about it aside from that considering that fight is pretty trivial in the big scheme of things.

>Twin Hades Cerberus Tell me more about the ai boundary please.

>Ring out is best It really is. No matter how threatening an enemy if you ring it out it's instant death.

>Run I'll be able to get some progress made tomorrow.

>Hellraiser I've never seen those, but if they're any good it's probably because they're written by Clive Barker, who is a real writer, not a screenwriter.

>Child's play Those never interested me. It wouldn't be difficult to defeat a doll in a physical altercation.

>Books You might like them as time progresses, but you seem a busy guy so it might be some years in the future. For me as far as entertainment and even artistic value I would say books > video games > movies.

>Stoner movie Are there any you like?

>Army of Darkness I also like that movie

>Bastardization I don't really like that term, it feels childish to me. I prefer "poor adaptation of the source material". I am a fan of source material in general. Whenever someone tells me of a movie I should watch I immediately check if it's based on a book. For example people tell me I should watch this movie American Psycho, but why would I watch the poor man's version of a story when I can get the real thing?

>Mods Do the mods ever visit this board? I don't really know the gamespot TOS, but I assume it's similar to gamefaqs.

>Easy to scare I watched some horror as a kid, but didn't like it because I was so easily scared. By the time I was in high school I watched some horror movies and didn't care for them. It wasn't until I found books that I started to enjoy the genre. I can't say much about what specifically bothered me. I was always much more emotional and imaginative than other kids. Not a good combination for watching horror as a very young kid.

>Space ship If there was something like that it was made up for the miniseries. Robert Gray and it's mortal enemy Maturin the turtle were created at the same time the universe was. The turtle was immeasurably large (being able to swallow entire galaxies) and Robert Gray had no true physical form. It came to Earth with the knowledge that humans, ripe with emotions, would eventually come to live where it had settled (Derry Maine). Robert Gray feeds off the emotions of people, and it finds fear to be particularly tasty.

>The Thing I've heard of that. I didn't know it was also a stoner movie.

>The Descent I saw that when it first came out because I was working at a movie theater at the time. I thought it was ok, but not very memorable. The main thing I remember is that the monsters looked a lot like Gollum from the Lord of the Rings movies.

>The Shining

>More ways than I know That'd be tough. I like giving fans of that movie a hard time. (It has no plot except people are crazy for no established reason, It's obvious from the word go Jack is gonna be a murderous lunatic, There is no establishment of Jack having any sort of problem with alcohol, but yet he's easily tempted by the thought of it, all sorts of things). As such I make it my business to know the differences. I will give some of those videos a watch later when I can stomach having to watch clips from The Shining.

>Scared as a kid I was particularly easy to scare

>Bad amusing Amusing for sure. Tim Curry is a hoot. It's also got a young Seth Green, and an aging John Ritter.

>Spider One of the main reasons they see it as a spider is because when they have arrived it has laid eggs all over the chamber it lives in, which were reminiscent of a spider's egg sac, which they notice before seeing it. Although it has no gender, being as old as the universe it's self, if one had to assign it one it'd be female since it lays eggs, and when they see it it has a grotesque and bloated abdomen because it's ready to lay another set of eggs.

>The Shining I'm referring to the Kubrick movie. The Shining is one of the best books I've ever read and that movie goes out of it's way to be as untrue to the source material as possible (There is no cabin fever in the book).

>Each character's worst fear It doesn't make it very clear in the miniseries but it already tried that as they were approaching it's lair.

>Facial hair A shame. The mustache fits law enforcement so well.

>Pennywise It is the same. That made for TV miniseries really scared me when I was 7 and it first aired, but having rewatched it as an adult after reading the book I can safely say it's really bad. We're talking like almost as bad as The Shining.

>Giant spider The miniseries uses very dated looking stop motion effects for this and the end result is just awful. It's true form is actually a bunch of lights, but anyone who sees it's true form goes crazy. The spider is the closest thing the human mind can comprehend, so that's what they see it as.

>GoW3 At your convenience. I only foresee a couple of trouble spots.

Mount Olympus

Gaia:Shoulder - grabs into BR

Gaia:Arm -grabs into tear

Leviathan 1 - (Standing 1) sttt and I used magic to trick through his attacks

(Ceiling) hit him with s combos and moved from left to right, staying towards the center to avoid it's hits.

(Wall) same as ceiling

(Standing 2) same as 1

Mountainside:Exterior A -grabs

Mountainside:Exterior B -grabs

Moutainside:Interior:Tomb of Ares -I slapped the centaur with sttt until the legionnaires spawned, then I used grabs into BR

Gaia:Chest:Exterior

Leviathan 2

Stage 1 - chipped on the right side with sttt, I used magic to trick through his slam attack and I hit him as he crept forward to damage him enough to avoid his water spit

Stage 2 - Same as before but I dodged his other water spit attack to either side

Gaia:Chest:Interior -grabs into BR

Gaia:Head

Poseidon

Stage 1 - hit either side with sttt until a claw came down, or he used magic. When either happened I rolled to the other side and repeated

Gaia:Hand

Stage 2 - stood in front of him and hit away with sttt, when he used his fist pound or slap attacks I blocked, and when he used his single stab attack I dodged and got in a few hits with CoC. He never used the multi stab.

Gaia:Head

Stage 3 - Same as before. His magic hits in different patterns than before, which I'll have to adjust to for PAIN+, but for this I was able to get past it without incident.

River Styx -Swim

Realm of Hades

Hades Path -grabs into BR

Palace of Hades:Exterior

(AoS Trial) magic

(Rope) grabs

Gorgon Serpent Chamber - returned the gaze and smashed everyone

Peirithous Puzzle - the Cerberus I killed with simple block and slap tactics. It never even used it's fireball or tackle. I just used s hits

Harpy Chamber - CG to air grabs and ground grabs if they were knocked down.

Underworld:Cliffside -Navigate

Three Judges:Lower *Trials of Erebus* -grabs -I only let the minotaur get to the end so after I cleared out the the cadavers I dealt with it using CG and T into air grabs to stun it. -I kept the gorgon alive until everything else had been turned to stone and shattered. I avoided the enemies until I got a gaze to reflect. Once the gorgon was alone I shattered her as well.

Three Judges:Upper:Section B -The minotaurs didn't even get close to me. I was able to get them mostly dead from the pots and i finished them off with a few shots each for a prompt.

Caverns of Hades:Bridge - I was able to ring these guys out with CG off the side of the bridge.

Caverns of Hades:Bramble Vent Puzzle - These guys were easy enough with grabs into OH infinite

Caverns of Hades:Hades Arms -Didn't do this

Palace of Hades:Outer Atrium - I used mostly t3 chipping just to be on the safe side. I hit them repeatedly on the way to the barrier, and once I got to the barrier I was able to hit them freely. Once the first 2 died I was able to use the legionnaires and a few slaps to finish off the last guy.

Caverns of Hades:The Forge -Lever

Caverns of Hades:Gazebo -(Dogs) grabs

Hades Path

(RoS Trial) -grabs into BR

Palace of Hades:Exterior

(Twin Hades Cerberus) I used rage here and was able to get prompts on both with s attacks before it ran out. I used magic a couple of times when close, and bow chipped until I got the second heads down. I stayed back and played it safe, using bow chipping and some slapping until I got them. This fight will be tough on PAIN+ to finish without damage.

Palace of Hades : Door of Hades -I got them with grabs into kicks and BR

Palace of Hades:Lower Chamber - Just some harpies. I killed them with the same CG into grabs as the ones before

Palace of Hades:Mezzanine - I killed the dogs with grabs, and I was able to ring out the minotaurs with the CG off the side by the tree.

Palace of Hades:Upper Chamber - Just some mooks. Took them out with grabs

Palace of Hades:Lower Chamber *again* - I killed these harpies with the bow just to be safe

Palace of Hades:Upper Chamber *again* -Finish puzzle

Palace of Hades:Throne Room

Palace of Hades:Throne Room

Hades

S1P1 - (Stand) Not too much to note here. He does a 2 hit attack that I blocked, and a stomp which I rolled away from. For damage I used tsss combos, with just a touch of bow chipping. I find Kratos's choice to shoot hades in the face questionable since his head is the one part of his body that has armor.

S1P2 - (Wall) Tougher than the standing phase. I stayed close, so he used his double claw smash attack regularly. I avoided it by rolling to either side. His grab I also avoided by rolling. His attack where he swings his claws wildly I avoided by jumping or not jumping as needed.

S1P3 - (Meat) I just kept it as far away from him as I could and hit away with s attacks.

S2P1 - (Stand) The same as phase 1, but how now does another attack where he crosses his claws and pulls them up at you. This can't be blocked so I rolled away from it. He'll also try to steal your soul, but he only did this once and I pressed the buttons to break out of it. I used the same tactic of avoiding the hits and damaging him with tsss combos.

S2P2 - (Wall) Not as bad as the earlier wall phase. I used the fleece to deflect his skulls back at him, stunning him, and leaving him open for free hits. I avoided the grabs and smashes as noted before. S2P3 - (Meat) Same as before

S3 - (Wall) I had full magic so I went ahead and used it, a few slaps and a few casts were enough to get a prompt.

S4 - (Tug-of-War) Pretty easy. His attacks can be blocked except for his smash which I rolled away from. I just used sss attacks and I didn't bother to pull away since there seems to be no drawback to staying close.

S5 - (CoH) His attacks are telegraphed pretty well in advance. The only thing that caught me was his one handed smash, but this phase was pretty smooth sailing. I used the grapple points to avoid his breath and rolled away from his other attacks. I used tt to damage him.

Palace of Hades:Soul Summon Trial - grabs into BR

Cavern of Hades:The Forge -Pass through

Cavern of Hades:Gazebo - I slapped around the first one and when the second came alive I used t3/t0 chipping. When the dogs spawned I grouped them up and used magic to clear them out, which also got me a prompt on the second talos. The third was at low health and I got a prompt after just a few more hits.

Hades Path *yet again* -grabs

Olympia : Door -Cast Gaia down - I burned them with the bow as I moved back towards the area you came from. Once I was far enough back I was able to ring out all of them with the CG. The rest of the fight was more of the same, luring them back in small groups and taking out the dogs with the bow, and the sentries by ring out.

Olympia:Cave -Navigate

Olympia:Building A -I picked off the first few with the bow, and as I'm sure you know if you stay towards the back wall by the chest the enemies won't approach you from off screen, so I lured the sentries one at a time back there and rung them out with the CG.

-(Centaur) I cleared out a few more sentries with the CG like before and I pulled the centaur back into that area. It was fairly long, but a straightforward hit and block type of fight. I used tsss combos until I had to block and kept going. Is it possible to ring out the centaur or bait out the charge?

Olympia:Ballista

Chimera

(Snake) I used t3 and bow chipping while staying away. Not much else to not on this phase.

(Lion) Same as before, but I used bow chipping much more liberally. I was playing it safe here since I can afford to on this run.

(Goat) I used magic and rage here, that and a few shots with the bow got him to a prompt. Come PAIN+ I'll need to learn these guys more. I don't really forsee them being that hard though.

Olympia:Chasm

Olympia:Building B:Exterior:Balcony - Not a lot to note on this one. I was able to ring them out with the CG using the bow to burn them, causing them to stagger forward.

Olympia:Building B:Interior:Hallway - I used a combination of burning and BR to clear them out. Just a big group of mooks.

Olympia:Building C:Wall -Navigate

Olympia:Eos Cave Door - I was able to get the Cyclops with a bit of bow chipping and some slapping with tsss combos. He hollers often and his attacks are predictable so he is pretty easy. I was able to ring out and kill all the mooks with s attacks so there was nothing left to fight when it died.

Eos Cave:Corridor 1 - grabs

Eos Cave:Corridor 2 -grabs

Eos Cave:Catwalk 1 - Bow use with some CG into air grabs.

Eos Cave:Corridor 3 -grabs

Eos Cave:Rope -grabs

Eos Cave:Corridor 4A -grabs

Eos Cave:Corridor 4B -grabs

Eos Cave:Broken Bridge -Harpy ride

Eos Cave:Cliffside - I couldn't figure out any way to ring them out, but this is not a tough fight. I was able to defeat them with grabs into OH, blocking when needed.

Eos Cave:Catwalk 2 - Easy ring outs here with CG. I didn't bother taking out the archers until I defeated all the wraiths since it's hard to target them with attacks coming out you. I imagine some sort of rule is lifted here on PAIN+ for the archers.

Chain of Balance:Icarus Vent 1 - Avoided the obstacles Chain of Balance:Scaffolding -Navigate

Chain of Balance:Icarus Vent 2 - Avoided the obstacles

The Caverns:Box 1 -Burn bramble.

The Caverns:Box 2 -The mooks I took out with grabs into BR. The Minotaurs I defeated by ring out by ramming them with CG until they were close to the edge, then launching with T into CG to get them over the edge. I got the centaur to a prompt with bow chipping and ramming him with the enemies around. After I was done riding there were still 2 minotaurs left, but they were of little consequence and were rung out like the rest.

Grand Vestibule:Upper -Grabs into BR

The Olympian Citadel B - The legionnaires I was able to defeat by ring out with CG. The first Cyclops I locked down with repeated t0, and when the 2 came out I rung out the legionnaires, then ran back to the entrance which caused them to repeatedly holler. I got the first one down with t3 chipping, trying to hit them both as best as possible, and got the second with t0 lock down.

>That topic You seem to know those folks way better than myself. I can hardly even keep their names straight. I'll find another topic soon to stir up some fun. If you want to type out how you'd respond that'd be entertaining, but that's a lot of typing so it's your call.

>Mustache They don't let you have one?

>Robert Gray He's more commonly known as "Pennywise the dancing clown", but that's just one of it's many forms. Robert Gray is it's true name though.

>MGS2 Watching a playthrough wouldn't get the full experience. You have to have played the first game multiple times for it to have full effect. It's still worth watching though.

>Juggling books The Wind Through the Keyhole isn't very long, you should be able to knock it out pretty quick.

>I've only read the first one "The Gunslinger Born" It's pretty good considering how much it has to condense the source material. The art is really amazing in my opinion. That being said I'm not interested in the other Dark Tower ones unless I can get them really cheap. I'm not a big fan of adapting stories to other stuff in general though (I hate almost every movie I've ever seen that's based on a book I've read).

>Boxers fighting each other many times It used to happen back in the really old days when fighters fought hundreds of fights over their career, but nowadays even 3 fights is pushing it unless the first 2 each had a different winner.

>Videos I saw them, there's a lot of good stuff.

>Runs I'm gonna start my NUR+ of 3 today if everything goes as planned.

>The Olympics I heard you don't even get paid to participate.

>Second preparatory What nation uses this name for schools?

>Amending My competed runs are out of date. It doesn't have my NUR of 1 on ther,, and I completed my NUR+ of 2.

>25 That's not so old. You're still young enough to become a pro boxer. What do you want for your birthday? You gonna have a big party with a keg?

>Video games They're a far superior medium to film. People who don't like video games are mostly narrow minded and stuck up. >Engineer The kind that drives a train? >Nerds Does being bespectacled make one a nerd in and of it's self?
