All right setting this up wasn't bad by Arbit 12/04/2012, 1:51pm PST
I just ended up installing the mouse and resolution fixes and didn't have to soil myself messing with router ports and IP port forwarding plasma conduits. Whew! Thanks for the links.

The game is amazing. Took me a while to get my feet under me, particularly with respect to bosses. Silly me, I thought trying to block a club the size of entire body would result in my body bloodily merging into the club. Not so! Can you trying to kill the bell gargoyles with firebombs, a halberd, and dodging? That shit took me hours. Literally... I think it took me hours. :(

Am I crazy or is the spear superior to pretty much everything? Long range, can attack while blocking, comparable damage to a sword, and perhaps most importantly doesn't constantly hit friggin walls. The main advantage of a sword - AOE sweepiness - is often a downside, because if you get close enough to hit multiple opponents and one guy blocks, you are wide open and in range to get smacked by the other guys. With a spear I can still hit multiple opponents by lining them up shishkebab style, or just play it safe and use my long range to poke people to death with impunity.
