Bioshock Infinite... What is Infinite about it, I wonder...

1st Bioshock:
I tried playing the 1st Bioshock.. But stopped playing after a while coz my old comp could not handle it well, So I dont get "The Bioshock Experience" that many people talked about. But I do like the concept of "Big Daddy" n the "Lil Girl".. The Lil Girl reminds me of those ghost kids from Japanese Horror movies.. Aint that cool =P and the underwater city is really beautiful.. Makes you want to actually live in such city.. Without the monster and crazy people, of course =) Still looking forward to play this again someday to understand the story and coolness of Bioshock!

2nd Bioshock:
I had the 2nd Bioshock in my inventory. Haven't install it yet, waiting to get my hands on the 1st one again and finish that one first. But I heard that the 2nd game has something similar to "Big Daddy" but in female and slimmer forms.. Enemy's of Big Daddy if I'm not mistaken.. with the creepy red eye.. Lurking in the dark, preying on those unsuspecting strangers.. and then BAMMMM! Game Over =P

3rd Bioshock: [BIOSHOCK INFINITE!!]
This is the 3rd CG contest that I joined. First two are the Borderlands 2 and Torchlight 2. Borderlands 2 I enter late eventhough some people liked my "Haiku" back then. Torchlight 2, I already owned back then but got revoked by Steam (I was scammed); thats why I joined the CG contest to get it back.. In the end, Steam Support gave the game back to me so I yet again cancelled my contest entry..

So now, Bioshock Infinite.. Endless infinite entries are already swarming the Steamgif gift.. So my only bigger chance is here.. Maybe I will win it this time.. To see the Bioshock Experience that people talked about on my own.. I wonder if Big Daddy is still there; or the women version of Big Daddy from Bio2; or even a new form of Big Daddy, if it exist in Bioshock Infinite >< Oh, the other reason that I want to try this game is because of the woman in the cover picture.. They only have the Big Daddy's picture usually in the first two game, but now A Macho guy and a fine woman =P So yeah, I wanna know about the story ><

After all: """""" It is My Holy Duty to Guard Against The Foreign Hordes! """""

Thank you for giving another cool giveaway CG =D

Dark Soul

I just recently got the game.. Tempted because I heard its hard and I found out that it really is a lot harder than normal games! I've died more than the number of my death count from all of my other games combined, in just one day.. lol..

Any tips? great class to farm, good weapon to use, etc..

Or maybe we can try multiplayer, I havent try it yet =)

You are talking to the right guy. We started a second podcast all about this game. I don't quite have a masters in it, but I do have a bachelors.

Ten tips for Dark Souls.

1) If Dark Souls had an alignment, it'd be Lawful Evil. This means that yes, it wants to kill you but it's going to follow the rules in doing so. Use this to your advantage.

2) Keep your shield up, it will save your life, especially when you're entering unknown territory.

3) Co-op is there for a reason. Don't be afraid to use it on a boss that is giving you trouble.

4) Be aware of your surroundings. Go slowly into new situations, be patient.

5) Try to only fight one thing at a time. Using bows and spells to pull enemies is not shameful.

6) Choose your battlefield wisely. There are good places (and BAD places) to fight any given enemy.

7) Killing NPCs is a bad idea unless you know that you won't need them anymore. It's really easy to start fights that you can't finish this way, and they will stay pissed off until they die.

8) Don't cry over lost souls... But also don't carry a huge balance.

9) It's never a waste of souls to upgrade vitality or endurance. Keep your equipment in mind when upgrading. It's more important than levels. Also, never upgrade resistance.

10) Find what works for you. If something doesn't work, try something else.

Gary_Butterfield wrote on 01/31/2013 at 05:09pm

Further: there is no best weapon, just the weapon that's right for you. Find a weapon that you like the moveset of, and unless it's the whip, it's a viable option for completing the game. Before too long you'll run into a blacksmith that can upgrade things. Don't upgrade past +2 until you're sure something will work in the long run. When you are sure, upgrade the fuck out of it.

I seriously LOVE helping people with this game. Ask me anything.

Travis Admin wrote on 01/31/2013 at 05:16pm

I'm going to be starting this one soonish, so I'm glad for your advice Gary. I'd heard that while it's hard, really hard, it's never cheap.

Gary_Butterfield wrote on 01/31/2013 at 05:41pm

Yeah, it's possibly approaching my favorite game of all time status. There really isn't anything else like it. Nothing is random, everything is fair and considered and orderly. It's really an amazing feat.

jdodson Admin wrote on 01/31/2013 at 06:02pm

Damn. Now I need to buy this.

Gary_Butterfield wrote on 01/31/2013 at 06:23pm

One thing to remember: this isn't God of War. You are NEVER powerful enough to rush into situations and joyfully watch numbers go up as you mash buttons. Every single situation must be considered and approached deliberately, the same way the developers did.

Co-op is mostly for bosses but you can do it before then. Keep in mind that in order to summon someone for co op, you must be human and can thus be invaded for PvP. It's a double edged sword, for sure.

TonyJapMayo Post Author wrote on 01/31/2013 at 07:24pm

I created a new Bandit earlier today coz I think i stuffed up my Pyromancer build (Stats).. Both still below 20..

Earlier, with my Bandit, I was saving around 7k souls (still early game) coz I dont know whether to upgrade stats or w8 for weapon.. Then I died.. n otw back to the dead place, I accidentally fell when I was walking there.. Lost all the souls =( =( =( then I saved up again, got 6kish, died twice again..

HARD game! Still my 2nd day though.. Getting the hang of it..

Btw, I want to get AOE Spell so I can farm easily.. Any tips? What class is good for AOE? Pyro, Sorc or Cleric?

Thanks ><

Gary_Butterfield wrote on 01/31/2013 at 07:28pm

Cleric has a good AoE that you don't get til way late in the game. Pyromancer has lots of small AoEs they can throw.

Classes barely matter. If you start as a bandit, you can up your faith to do cleric spells if you want. I'd say it's probably not worth it. If you have a bunch of souls, spend them! No need to save them up because you can always get more.

For a first character, I'd level strength, vit and endurance and stop whenever any of them gets to 40. Find a strength weapon you like that you can wield, then put points into your pyromancy glove. Knight/fire magic is a really powerful combo.

Where are you?

TonyJapMayo Post Author wrote on 02/01/2013 at 09:30am

I stuffed up my bandit too now =( I accidentally killed the merchant when I was talking to him.. Accidentally pressed attack..
Now I cant buy arrow to attack Dragon's tail..

I'm around that red dragon area..

Is the late Cleric skill still far away from my area?

I'm thinking to re-do this again =( Altho I really liked my Bandit.. I'm happy with the stats and My Zweinder is +3 now.. But if I have no merchant then its GG =(

TonyJapMayo Post Author wrote on 02/01/2013 at 11:50am

Oh, by the way, How do you aim the bow? I'm using keyboard n mouse, Dont like using controller.. I heard that we click attack button and the Shield button but it didnt work at all.. I've googled this but still cant find the solution >< Please Help..

Gary_Butterfield wrote on 02/01/2013 at 05:07pm

Man, I have no idea how to do it with keyboard and mouse. It's widely accepted that it's a bad way to play it. If you can manage, good luck!

Go ahead and start over. You'll be amazed at how quick the areas you've already been go. I can get to where you're at in about 10 minutes now.

The cleric spell is both fairly late in the game and you have to follow an NPCs quest line correctly to get it. I'd say not to count on it during your first play through. You don't really need to farm and if you feel you do, there are places a little later that are good for it without AoE effects. The area right after the dragon has a church that is decent for making farming runs through until you've upgraded enough.

Zwiehander is a great weapon and totally viable all game. If you use it, I wouldn't add an elemental affinity to it and instead pump your strength. You'll be doing amazing damage when you get it to +15.

TonyJapMayo Post Author wrote on 02/02/2013 at 05:15am

Yup, I killed the Gargoyle last night.. Hard coz Zweinder is really slow.. Died a lot >< I also finally got the Drake weapon from the dragon tail.. Did it the legit way, with sword, not with bow =)

Ah, btw Minatour was funny, when I was fighting it, before I deal the finishing blow, that bull jumped back, to avoid my sword, but ended up falling down the cliff (suicide) =) hahaha..

Hi CG members,

Finally today Steam support just replied to my email regarding the Scammed Revoked Torchlight 2..
n they decided to return it to me =) Unbelieveable.. I thought of it as pretty much gone!

So yeah, my entry here is cancelled.. Thanks for the Fantaboulous opportunity though..
Another great giveaway that I will miss =( Last time was Borderlands 2 n now this..

So yeah, have a great day everyone.. I'm looking forward for another awesome giveaway =P

Travis Admin wrote on 12/13/2012 at 04:37am

Dude! That's awesome. The Steam crew are pretty good to their users. It makes me happy to hear good customer service stories like this.

jdodson Admin wrote on 12/13/2012 at 06:49am

Another great Steam deed! I want to take a moment of silence to thank Gaben.......

TonyJapMayo Post Author wrote on 12/13/2012 at 05:00pm

I've heard of that name.. Forgot when or where.. Steam Admin guy? anyway, Thanks Gaben =P

Travis Admin wrote on 12/13/2012 at 07:09pm

Yep, Gabe Newell is the head of Valve. Gabe Newell, shortened to Gabe N., then further shortened by 4chan to Gaben.

jdodson Admin wrote on 12/13/2012 at 07:55pm

I think they picked that because its his email at Valve and its totally awesome to pass that around? :D

TonyJapMayo Post Author wrote on 12/14/2012 at 02:27am

Ah, ic.. Thats awesome.. Head of Valve must have lots of games, best job ever =P

Torchlight II Contest Entry

http://cdn.imghack.se/images/0715b6d77ea23a096b966b2bff321ff1.jpg

Torchlight is a very fun game.. The cartoonist version of Diablo I supposed..
-Torchlight 1 is awesome but it doesn't have the Multiplayer part.

- Torchlight 2 is pretty much Torchlight one with Co-op option, more Class, More pets, More Items and pretty much more fun =) I liked how we have various pets to choose from now, 2 Dogs, Wolf, Tiger, Cat and Bird looking lizard/dragon?! My characters were the Engineer (Main Char) and the Embermage!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Actually I had Torchlight 2 but yesterday the gift was revoked by Steam! I traded it with someone from Steamtrade but it seems that the person is a scammer =( That is why I'm entering this, hoping that I could win Torchlight 2.. I've got some great items and 2 Characters! I really want to play them again =( Miss them.. Scammed Proof (http://cdn.imghack.se/images/c99919a10e50354ea6f3f2b01934af94.jpg)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

** EDIT: Since the rules changed, I'll change stuff too.. This is my story.. I had two characters as mentioned before..
- First is Erza (Name from Fairy Tail Anime), the Scarlet Hair Embermage, accompanied by the Mighty Dragon Bird, Draco.. Strong and mighty.. Built to last for the Hardcore Elite difficulty.. Tank type Engineer, My Main Char (The picture above is the only proof that Erza once exist in the realm of Torchlight 2, took it to show off the Boots to my friends)..

- Second is Mirajane (Another name from Fairy Tail Anime), The Almighty Embermage, accompanied by her cute dog which name has been forgotten (this is a newly created char).. In her inventory, Powerful Unique weapons, armours, items n sets (From My Main Char) are waiting for the time when the master is powerful enough to wield their powers.. Unfortunately, human's cruelty and wickedness (The Scammer) stole her life (Game revoked) and now it is only up to the Mighty Heroes (Cheerful Ghost Members) to help resurrect her (and Erza) from the inevitable death.. Now Rise oh Mighty Heroes, lend Thy Powers to eradicate the evils and wicked beings from the surface of the earth..

My Game is Over.. 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1. . . . . . . . . .
Will you help me Continue?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of you might remember me, The Hiragana (Japanese) Haiku from the last Borderlands 2 giveaway. So here, some Japanese again, just because Japan is so awesome and cool =)

+ Nihonggo/Japanese: こにちはみなさま（いまはごごいちじはんです）、おげんきですか？とにかく、がんばってくださいね　＞＜
+ Eigo/English: Good evening everyone (now is roughly 1.30pm), how are you all? Anyway, Good Luck for the giveaway ><

Travis Admin wrote on 12/04/2012 at 05:55pm

Just to let you know, since you are at present our only entry, that we've changed the rules a bit. Please see the original post for the updates. In short, it's not about votes anymore-- one will be random, the other will be judged.

TonyJapMayo Post Author wrote on 12/04/2012 at 06:40pm

@ panickedthumb: Thanks for letting me know about the changes.. I hope the judges like my story..

Btw to make it crystal clear to everyone again, I had Torchlight 2, but its gone now (Gift revoked by Steam Support or I was scammed) =(
I hope I am still eligible for this giveaway.. Thanks..

jdodson Admin wrote on 12/05/2012 at 02:29am

Thanks for entering Tony!

TonyJapMayo Post Author wrote on 12/05/2012 at 03:08am

@ jdodson: No prob.. Thanks for this great website too =)

Oh, I just found out that I cant join Steamgift Torchlight 2 giveaway.. The game is no longer in my library but it says it exist in my account.. So this is my only chance now, Manual giveaway.. I already contacted Support.. Hope they will answer soon =(

jdodson Admin wrote on 12/05/2012 at 03:20am

Odd it says you have the game when you don't. Did you contact Steam customer support?

Travis Admin wrote on 12/05/2012 at 03:24am

Tony, SteamGifts uses not only the games in your list but the games you've played recently. It screws up people who have played Free Weekend games and then try to enter a giveaway for the same reason. That's probably why you can't enter.

TonyJapMayo Post Author wrote on 12/05/2012 at 03:43am

I have contacted Steam Support and Steam Gift Support.. Still no reply from both.. Still waiting now ><

Btw, How can I change my picture? Do i need a certain achievement to do that? I've tried clicking on things but doesn't work =P

Morgan_Carter wrote on 12/05/2012 at 03:51am

Torchlight took everything that made diablo 2 work and made it roughly 10,000x better. It's no wonder, too, as Runic is mainly composed of the former Blizzard East employees charged with creating Diablo 2 in the first place. From the ability to create endless variations of the same class to the random dungeon generator, not to mention the Sword of Adam (WIZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDS!) This game was a masterpiece and the TRUE spiritual successor to Diablo 2.

Travis Admin wrote on 12/05/2012 at 04:00am

Tony, if you go to your profile you can tell it to use your gravatar.

TonyJapMayo Post Author wrote on 12/07/2012 at 02:56pm

I finally get the Gravatar.. btw its not from Profile, can only do it from Top Right, in Setting..

jdodson Admin wrote on 12/07/2012 at 03:15pm

Yep it's in settings but the settings update your Profile. Perhaps I should change some language there to make that more obvious.

TonyJapMayo Post Author wrote on 12/08/2012 at 05:54am

Frustrated, still cant join Torchlight 2 giveaway on Steamgift.. Steam still not responding to my email.. Any idea of what I can do right now? maybe u know Steam Admin or support guy or someone to contact? Thanks CG =)

Hi guys, anyone had problem logging in? I was on last night, went back to main menu to make new character.. But somehow GW2 just shut down, then when I want to log in again, I can't do so until now!

Error code: 122:4:5:1278

I emailed support, Support sent me to technical support, then Technical support sent me back to support!! then nothing until now.

Can anyone help please? =(

Sorry Tony, that error doesn't ring a bell.

I'd check the Steam Group or Google.

That sounds about as bad as Square-Enix support.
"Sorry, live chat is closed. Please email us your problem."
two days later...
"Sorry, we cannot resolve your problem via email. Please use the live chat option!"

My google-fu has failed me in finding you a solution. The best I could come up with is that the 122: series of errors has to do with your account being disabled. Here's the text from the support page: "Error 122 means your account has been disabled, possibly for being fraudulently purchased by an unauthorized vendor. Please contact the source of the purchase for more information."

here's a link to the support page that text was pulled from: http://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8994/~/error-codes

Hope you can get this straightened out!

TonyJapMayo Post Author wrote on 09/30/2012 at 06:59am

Yeah, I've googled and read that 122 definition too.. Now they're sending me to the Account Payment support.. Thanks anyway, I surrender n will wait until they can give me an answer ><
