Difficult, eh?
IMO, the only way to die in-game would be to set options to manual control (assuming you didn't already do that) and then go away for half an hour or so (while in the middle of a boss fight, mind you!).
Personally, I hated DS2, while I basically loved DS1 - at least in Co-op.

The high-above-ground-stuff usually preludes some fun boss fights, I tell ya.

At least for us low-lives; my hypothecary credit depends on a fixated repayments carrier, and my interest is down and (almost) out.
Now I just wish the credit would go away and leave me alone. :P

Comment It all comes down to preference (Score 1) 646
I mean, I liked Opera from the very beginning, but I never even got close to liking Firefox (which I'm forced to use at work); which is interesting, because I liked the Netscape Navigator (not much, but I did).
Yet, my best friend just loves FF, while he finds Opera too restrictive (don't ask).
One of my co-workers OTOH prefers IE, although she permanently manages to infect her laptop (yeah, I know: O.o).
So, as far as preference goes, there's all kinds of flavors to choose from, so why all this bickering?

The reason for this is clear: the software being created is just not interesting enough or compelling enough to drive Wii owners to buy more than two [games] per year, [...]
Counting only the real games I possess for the Wii, I'd say it exists for more than 12 years...
[...] and most of those purchases are first party software.
Interesting... What Nintendo Wii is he talking about?

I'll tell you once I find out. You could even go as far as claim he predicted the internet, for that matter.
Anyway; product placement aside, it really isn't that surprising he predicted wireless communication. I mean, look at his areas of scientific interest and research.
What I'm still waiting for is generation of energy from thin air, preferably cheaply available to anyone.

At least now two alternative engines are starting to get recognition around the world, and newer one of those two seems to strive more for standards compliance (they wouldn't make this post otherwise). There was a time when a lot of sites appeared to be made primarilly with "IE + FF" in mind...which didn't really change that much in the grand scheme of things.
Thanks. Quite interesting, though it only seems to test JavaScript compliance, as far as I understand it.
But now perhaps sites will, to a greater degree, simply target standards... (just look at the link above to see why that's great news for you)
No news to me, but thanks again.
BTW, regarding safety of Opera - considering that it's big in post Soviet Block areas (typically #2 browser; in places #1, ahead of IE already)...maybe they just don't want to eat their turd?
I frankly can't figure out an answer to that.

It all sounded different in my head. Let me clarify:
What I meant to say, was that most people dropping off the IE share start using FF or Chrome.

Submission + - BlackBerry Predicted A Century Ago By Nikola Tesla

Seth Porges, Popular Mechanics' current technology editor, disclosed Tesla’s prediction at a presentation, titled “108 years of futurism”, to industry figures recently in New York. Recombu.com has published the original Popular Mechanics article in which Tesla predicts a mobile phone revolution.
