I keep watching videos of Dark Souls and teasers for Dark Souls II. The game honestly doesn't look fun to play, it looks like people play it simply to say they can beat it. All I can see is a generic RPG with a story that exists but isn't told.

The most logical conclusion is Thork's. It requires no conspiracy or motivation. The plane malfunctioned and crashed into the ocean. Depending on how it malfunctioned and how it crashed, there might be survivors, but I'd imagine they would have found them by now. As far as I know life rafts are equipped with GPS and what-not. At least the military ones are.

I use the Steam store home screen for my gaming news. It is probably easier on your wallet to use Kotaku, so that's a point for them.

The Island got them

It's okay, in three years they'll get off it and become millionaires. Also the one fat guy to survive will never, ever lose any weight.

Why is it that this is such an easy yet disturbing way to explain the story of Dark Souls?

"Long ago, during the Age of Ancients, the Dragons ruled a boring, one dimensional setting. The Dragon version of Tolkien was said to have once put to pen the idea of a tree that was sort of a brownish gray, instead of just gray. He was immediately executed for his dangerous, heretical ideas. It would take the four Lord Souls - weird spirit things that some naked zombies found in a fire - to put an end to this era of stupidity. The Souls transformed these naked, on-fire zombies into naked, on-fire humans that would quickly learn just how on-fire they truly were.

The Furtive Pygmy was the least popular of all the four Lords. He was slammed against many lockers, and was totally turned down by the Witch of Izalith when he asked her to prom. But the Pygmy understood how to play the long con, and set a dark plan in motion: to have sex with countless numbers of zombies. Like, thousands of them. No butterface was too stank for the Furtive Dick, in those days. From this long period of weird, secret corpse fucking, there arose all of humanity.

All humans today are descendents of a single corpse fucker. The gods - descendents of the other three Lords - were totally freaked out by this. From their big ass ancient city, they would rule over this sea of incestuous corpse fucking murder-happy pedophile weirdos, who also were all midgets. This would later be known as the glorious Age of Fire. Eventually, the gods would leave the capital of this age of horrifying sexual frenzy. Human historians would be totally confused as to why.

And so was set, the stage for the possible beginning of a new, Dark Age. Where supposedly it'll still be corpse fucking, but without light? I guess? Set forth, noble sex weirdo, to claim your birthright and fulfill the dark wishes of the Furtive Pygmy. It'll be rad. Probably."

So the quests aren't instanced then.

The NPCs are instanced, so you can't see other player's NPCs, but you can see other players.

Just last week Ukraine threatened Russia with nuclear weapons despite the obvious handicap of it not having any.

Threats are hardly actions.

This is the strawiest of straw man arguments.

The no, is because it won't be a cold war. It'll be forgotten about very quickly.

It'll be cold war. It has always been cold war. The idea that the cold war somehow stopped after the USSR fell is sticking your head in the sand. Russia's constant "helping" of the countries on its border is just the times when the war warms up a bit. Most of the media has already forgotten how it was when Russia was "helping" Georgia. Russia has been, and will continue to be, at odds with NATO. It threatened to nuke Ukraine in 2008 if they joined NATO.

God dammit, Parsifal. Finally a site with graphics cards in stock and reasonable prices and it is "Australia's Premier PC Store."

Does it take bitcoins?

Irrelevant. I wouldn't order from a site in Australia as it would require international shipping, which costs upwards of $100 more than the purchase price.

No, the US and UK will make a lot of noise, be ignored and then skulk off with their tails between their legs. This one is over. Putin 1 - 0 Western Drama Queens.

You just agreed with me, so why'd you start your post off with "no"? Ah, I already know, it's because your obligated to disagree with the nearest post. Sometimes without even reading it!

Well, back on topic. Unfortunately at this point Ukraine is pretty much toast. NATO isn't going to help them because no one wants to see WWIII. This is going to turn into Grade A cold war.

Its not the organisation to deal with this though. Its too biased. That was the point I was making. A point which you have done your damnedest to ignore.

Oh, I should probably make some sort of argument to show that the UN can't be biased.

So how would the UN overseeing work if Russia would veto anything they didn't like?

Also resolutions don't have to be unanimous. You need 9 out of 15 votes for a resolution to pass with only 5 nations (US, Russia, UK, France and China) holding the power of veto.

But this wouldn't be a resolution. In fact I have no fucking idea what you are talking about as usual.

The UN has 6 main parts. Only the Security council works with 15 votes and power of veto. The General assembly has one vote each. The Court of Justice elects 15 judges. The secretariat has an elected UN Secretary General, the economic and social council elects 54 members and there is a trustee council which I think is asleep or mothballed or defunct or something. I'm probably wasting my time. You are as dumb as a bag of hammers.

Wow, you sure make this easy.

I'm glad you could realize your error. You seem to have forgotten what your own argument was... not surprising. As I said before, you seem to argue with the closest post. Here, let me remind you...

The UN pick sides and is overwhelmingly run by the West.

And let me introduce you to why your argument is wrong...

Congratulations. You have managed to create a circular argument with yourself in the span of three posts. That's a record.

Which is why Russia has a permanent seat on the UN security council?

And as you know would be outvoted horribly by the USA, France, UK et al.

UN votes must be unanimous to pass. It only takes one vote against the proposal to stop it completely. Again, research your opinions, you dolt.

How does that make it fair? The UN pick sides and is overwhelmingly run by the West.

Which is why Russia has a permanent seat on the UN security council? Thork, I'm really starting to think you don't have an opinion at all. You just argue with the nearest poster to your reply and hope for the best. That, or you do have opinions and you don't bother to research them. You just make up an argument and try to work out all the details later.
