  1. If you've got a right-hand turn it helps to point your craft left slightly before you take it, makes it less likely you'll scrape the wall you're turning towards and it gives you more time to figure out how much air-brake you want. You get familiar with turns in Wipeout so that eventually you won't have to figure out how much you're applying the air brake. (All the advice I've given is trademark of Dwarf Gourami inc., a formula you cannot get anywhere else. Deathjamm fucking loved it, and you will follow.)
  2. Nick Clegg is coming across as the winner, even if he is using the blatant direct-address technique. His little fake chuckles are not proving to me that he is a human though, not that the others are. Brown's little grin is hideous. He does it whenever someone slates Labour in some way, but the counter-arguments he's used haven't really convinced me he has an answer to that many of them.
  3. Oh well I defeated that quick knight boss already without knowing what those grinning axe wielder's keys were used for. I take it keys only work in the same 'realm' where you find them? Otherwise I think I'll figure it all out by myself without your help without sounding too rude :p Managed to find Yuria without your help, so I think I'm officially done with help seeking. Apart from I keep getting told that my armour is broken, have the little icon in the top right corner saying sow, yet all my armour and my shields and weapons have endurance above 0. How do I find what needs fixing? Btw I can officially say that this game is fucking awesome. It's surprisingly close to what I was expecting and wanting, but obviously there's a lot of really cool stuff I hadn't really thought of. The online stuff I actually think is pretty damn revolutionary. Man, this shit has to be bought by every PS3 owner!
  4. Just be careful when using the triggers. If you press down the triggers slightly at the start of a turn, you can then get a feel of how much more you need to press them to get the correct level of turn. Get to the opening of the corner, start turning and hold the trigger inward a bit, and then just tilt the analogue as far as it goes and use solely the trigger to adjust for the rest of the turn (apex onwards). That's probably too confusing but I think that's how I do it.
  5. Analogue is better, works so much more effectively when airbraking because it's easier to adjust the turn level, there's more grounds to control it.
  6. I saw a SP episode last night, the one about paedophilia and Cartman wanting more mature friends. Bloody hilarious, especially when Kenny's dad starts alternating between barfing shitting and bleeding in a bin/toilet/on the floor. Great stuff. May be the same episode you're talking about.
  7. OK cool. I clicked on someone's blue-eye thingamie earlier and they helped/I helped to defeat the Flamelurker boss. Since then I spent a frustrating time trying to get through the Boletaria dungeon that's beyond the mist. Have now managed to open a gate so that I've got quicker access to the boss. I love exploiting the AI so they run into fire, saves me the hassle.
  8. Bring back the for primary school (minus the part)
  9. Good TV on tonight actually, gonna flick between the debate, HIGNFY, Newsnight and You Have Been Watching which returns at 10.00 with Brooker Conveniently after the debate.
  10. Then again United beat Newcastle 5-0 around that period ('99?) with 4 goals from Andy Cole, favourite player, and one from Giggs.
  11. I really dislike Danny.
  12. I died a really shit death earlier, and then I died an even shitter one when I tried to reclaim the soul, so I ended up just using the stone of ephemeral eyes. Seemed a bit of an easy choice, are they meant to be really rare or something? Because I had 6 which seems plenty atm. This'll be the last thing I'll ask help for, and it's just about the basics: can you give me the lowdown on the whole dying thing? When I die, half my hp goes, but when I find the spot where I died it doesn't go back up. Do I have to defeat a boss to get the health back (if i'm not using the ephemeral) ? And what's a phantom state, is that dying without a soul? And what will repeated deaths lead to, if anything?
  13. I thought law was compulsory. As in you have to spend a few hours of lessons doing it, that's why I said 'barely'. Our school said it was a compulsory thing they had to do along with sex ed and some sort of citizenship. I'm not even eligible to vote until November so it may have changed for my year?
  14. It is, but barely. I actually think Brown is the least twattish of all 3 leaders.
  15. How do you upgrade the Catalyst itself, and how do you learn new spells? Plus where do you use the boss souls anyway? A little update of where I am - I defeated both the Tower Knight and Armour Spider. Then I explored the many branching paths of the spider stone level entry point, went down a few tunnels defeating those annoying fire enemies, then there came a point where one of the paths branched into a lava part. This was the only place left that could've lead somewhere, but the big creatures took a lot of magic to take down and I had no spices to get the MP bar up quickly, plus I was overburdoned for a while on that level, so in the end I ran all the way back to the sword and warped to the Nexus. Basically I've dumped all of my ore off and shields that I can't use yet, leaving me tons of space left. Had around 30,000 souls to level up with, so I'm pretty much just cramming it on magic, as well as a bit on strength and vitality. What was the mission I accepted to undertake by the Monumental. Plus, what is the 'Old one' the maiden keeps banging on about. I think I'm meant to kill it but I have no idea what it is.
  16. It's actually laughably convoluted, but I love the sound of it all The Zelda-like vibe I'm getting is great, the music in the Nexus sounds very familiar. I can still be a panicky little dweeb when facing enemies though, I usually run back for ages just to get the right equipment sorted out and think about what attacks will work etc, but as I've progressed this short while I've been improving somewhat. Feel a bit out of my depth with all of the options and whatnot, I don't think I'm ready to start using axes and javelins and shizzle yet. Finally, what are soul points? Or do you just mean souls? And what is the soul level? Is that the number of demons you've defeated or? Anyway, I'm off to bed.
  17. Hmmm that's strange, I thought I was still just a soul because I have that glowy blue stuf coming out of me still. Yeah I have that boss' soul, I guess I'll store it and use it later? Or could I get some good shit with it now? Finally, how do I get stat upgrades? It's not clear! (I'm starting to think I should've read the manual now, never have I been so confused by the features of a game)
  18. Yeah that's kind of what I find annoying about it, I'd rather it was done by initials of the abilities than by symbols that have no meaning to me. Where the fuck do I go? I've been on the top and stood on the platform looking at the 'monumental' thing and nothing happens, I then go to this pantheon area and nothings there but some sad records of people's playtime. Plus it still looks like I'm in soul form when it said I got my body back. Or do I get it back through the monumental dude? I have a bad feeling about this. There was meant to be something I picked up back at the boss thing to get my soul back, but I haven't got it. I returned to the place and it isn't there? I dunno! Edit: Dw, I just didn't know what I was looking for, have found the monumental now.
  19. Defeated the boss. It was a bit easy and kind of disappointing, then again it is the first boss. Frankly I don't know why I've not been using magic much. I've mostly used the rapier for some reason and occasionally dealt with harder foes with the catalyst, but that's changed now. The one thing about this game that is annoying me is the stats and menus. The shield you told me to bought can't be equipped effectively so I'm trying to figure what I need to level up in order to be able to use it but it's a pain trying to figure it out. I'm guessing I level up when I cruise to the top of the nexus and talk to that git? Edit: I think I need to upgrade strength by 2, going by the symbols.
  20. Oh right, well I have 5,100 atm without crossing the bridge. Btw I've only found the cling ring so far. So if I quit the game now, I keep my souls but have to start again? I don't mind going through the level again too much because as you said the path shortcuts are quite extreme.
  21. Thanks for this help, I'm starting to understand the game a bit more. It's just annoying when the messages are counter-productive and you're not sure which ones to trust. Tbf there was a fairly funny one which before the dragon bridge says 'just run straight through' and it got a lot of recommendations. Managed to get the souls, I run back into a room where I took the armour off and start equipping it, when suddenly the knight starts running at me, so I put it all back on quick and sprinted for ages, and he followed me for a fair god-damn while lol. Had to dispose of some enemies in the process too. Was pretty intense. Now that I have my souls back, can I quit the game without returning to the start again?
  22. The world tendency screen doesn't actually tell me anything. Not that it matters right now. To get to that boss don't you have to get across the bridge guarded by the dragons? Plus I'm not understanding where you're referring to world 1-1. I've not seen anything of the sort, just the name of the place when you do a level. So at this time, I should get those souls back by running half way across the bridge, claiming them, and then sprinting the fuck away from that tosser. Then I cross the bridge, and then down the line I beat the boss?
  23. Okay so I'm doing the first proper mission I guess, you know, after you (minor spoiler) get raped by this pretty big demon thing at the start. So I go to the Nexus place, go into the level the man point out, and get to a part in the level where there are dragons whatever way I go. One that flies down onto a guarded bridge, the other leads to cliffs with multiple dragons on them. What do I do? Go back to the nexus at the start of the level? Explore part of the level that's way back behind me? Or attempt and fail to kill the dragons? What does the fog actually do? Save the game in some way? If I die will I have to go through the whole level again? ----- I'm enjoying it a lot so far, almost coming to grips with the controls and interface. ----- I went back to a bit I hadn't explored, there was a small bridge with an enemy on it, a message said 'the next enemy is difficult' or something, but they looked fairly standard, so I ran across with a hard attack, having used a turpentine, then bam, he uses a long range weapon and I'm out of the game in two hits, back to the start. I'm tempted to just sprint past the enemies and fuck that guy up, claim my soul back, but I've already had to do that twice. Plus those times I didn't have to go all too far to reclaim it. If I die again, will my previous death-soul thing be erased, and will I lose all those souls? I'm guessing yes, which would be shit. With every death do your life/mp meters get shortened slightly (temporarily)? Also with the Royalty, can you spam the magic attack as much as you want until the meter is out? I swear after a use the bar decreases a little. SO MANY QUESTIONS. SHEIKAH!
  24. You lose on both accounts.
  25. He will. The whole thing will probably a net phenomenon very soon. (It almost is already)
