dark souls is a pretty decent game. There are definitely ways to make the game easier wtihout cheating. At save points, I guess you can double your health potions if you use one of your items before activating the save point for future use. I didn't know that. Definitely makes the game a lot easier when you can heal twice as often. Then you get a pretty powerful weapon with some decent armor and the game is definitely easier but it's still not easy. Dying has no real impact on the game other than to frustrate you, unless you're stupid enough to die without recovering your corpse, then you lose all money that hasn't been spent. I lost 8,000 one time which was probably 2 whole levels, but it doesn't really matter. I still had to fight the same enemies so I got them back in 10-15 minutes.

Definitely a well designed game. Kinda funny how the only attributes worth anything are health (a lot), strength (up to 6 points, for weapons) and dexterity (up to 6 points, for the ability to use more powerful weapons). Maybe intelligence for mages. All players have to have the first 3, no matter what class, but you can see that mostly it's all health.

I was playin' that stupid stickman golf in the car 'cause i had nothing else to do. lame game, it's too easy. there's basically no chance of not getting par for any course. You'd have to actively try to not get it. Not even worth talking about. I was really bored.

Wow, Neal and Adams are playing tonight. no interest. I wonder how many other fans are jumping off the bandwagon for a while.

have fun, son
