PAX Australia. Video games. Lots and lots of video games.

Did you eat the video games?

Nope. Kind of want edible viodeol games now though.

:o I wanna go there! Lucky!

It's... Big. The whole exhibition and Convention center are taken up by it, and even then, it's packed full of people. Good cosplay thoguh.

I wonder how edible video games would be played... :o

By eating them.

Well, yeah, but how would the gameplay work? :o

I dunno. The way you eat it determines what you do?

That sounds like it'd be tedious! :U

Probable would, but I know a few games that are already tedious.

Oh, me too. :P

Dark Souls~

... I was meh on that game. Now I know it doesn't have a pause option, I hate it.

I liked it, but I never got around to finishing it.

Yeah, but I like the gamelan enough to ignore the lack of pause, and it makes sense due to it's online nature.

I loved Dark Souls, I love the second one too! I like difficult games :p

It's not that they were difficult, they were just super tedious.

Eh. A pause button should never be excluded. Unless your game only works online. If it works offline, Pause is absolutely a must.

I played hardcore.. Two blades, no shields. Was difficult for the first five or six playthroughs~ xD I got to playthrough 67 though, decked to hell at that point.

Dark Souls is inherently online though, it wasn't designed for offline play

But can it be played offline. alone?
If the answer to that is yes, then pause should exist.

Admittedly, at least you've given morte reason than every other asshole who's played it.

Reason for what, exactly? Sorry, I'm in shock still from events this weekend, so I'm a little slow in the head. xD

not having a pauyse button.
Everyone else just goes something along the lines of 'So you can't be a pussy'.

I hate playing games with other people. They tend to make the experience more annoying, especially in games like Dark Souls.

Ah, well I don't think they would forgo a pause button just for that. xD But then, this is the company that designed the Pendant...

I do agree, but that was kind of the point with dark souls; they designed their online system to increase the difficulty of the game, not make it easier.

Their clunky controls aren't bad enough, they decided to make it so that other people can screw you over as well.
