Merry Christmas VT! Hope you sexy bastards have a great day xxx

Probably @Xann (Love ya really Dave).

Nice Swan.

**** yeah.

Already been posted but yeah, looks promising (I thought the last one was good too)

Also did one of my favourite OST with Rumblefish. Its brilliance still gets a regular listening.

Also, for me personally: T1 > T2 Alien > Aliens (both superb though) Blade > Blade 2 Die Hard 3 > Die Hard 2

Disagree with a few of those but it's a cool idea. Jaws 3 better than 2? Lol Which Batman though? Burton only made two but surely that can't mean the Nolan trilogy?

Steady on.

Hes in Christmas Horror Story, haven't seen him in a Krampus movie tbh. The Krampus I like is the one from 2015 with Adam Scott and Toni Collette.

Yeah, we've done a fair few of the horror themed Xmas movies in our house too. Black Christmas (OG ofc), Rare Exports, It's a Wonderful Knife, Better Watch Out, Krampus, A Christmas Horror Story, The Advent Calendar, The Retaliators and Christmas Bloody Christmas Still need to watch Inside and The Children.

It's already filmed Roberto. It's available on the high seas, but as I'm not a dirty pirate scumbag I'm going to wait for it to come on iplayer

That's the one wearing the crown who does the arrow AOE? Yeah, that was an absolute bastard iirc. I seem to remember I dropped equipment down to the fastest roll speed and used a 2H weapon while dodging under their weapon swings. Not gonna lie, that was one of the hardest bosses.

I still think the first time I beat a certain boss duo is the best gaming moment I've ever had.

I mean, it's not impossible is it? As Dubbs says, you just have to stick with it and not treat it like a normal RPG (there's a reason its regarded as one of the best games ever created). I struggled a helluva lot when I first played it on PS3 all those years ago but once it clicked there is no other game that has ever matched the thrill and euphoria when a breakthrough is made (even something as simple as unlocking a shortcut). I went from not knowing what I was doing to finishing it for a first time to finally completing a 'No Death' run a while ago. I never, ever thought I'd do that (and I'm not a great gamer at all).

Oh and make sure you talk to EVERY npc and exhaust their dialogue. Also, read item descriptions. Both those things give clues to where you need to go and what exactly is going on. The game gives info, but never holds your hand.

You're going to be dying...a lot on your first playthrough. I advise only reversing hollowing to boost bonfires and when you know there's an NPC that you can summon for a boss battle.

It also let's you permanently boost the Estus status of Bonfires which means more healing.

You need Humanity to become unhollow and can only summon help from NPCs or other players when in that state.

As someone who has finished DS1 over 100 times, I believe a first run of the game should be blind. I'm so glad I didn't use a guide and I'm always jealous when people are on their first playthrough. Having said that I'll give you a little bit of advice just to get you in the right direction. Assuming you're out of the Undead Asylum and have landed in Firelink Shrine, take the hill upwards towards the tunnel. Once you see a massive bastard red dragon fly over you, you know you're on the optimal route. Do not go down the hill towards the regenerating skeletons. That's for later. The game does a good job of telling you which direction by how difficult the areas you come across are. If you are getting one shotted, you need to find another route. Also, taking the Master Key as your starting gift can make things much easier. Oh, and keep an eye on your equipment weight. If it's too high, you will be 'Fat Rolling' and that's no good for evading enemies.
