Capra Demon is rather cheap. All you gotta do, basically, is to run up the stairs, drop attack him, repeat.
One of the easiest bosses, though, is...the last boss. Not spoilering, but he's so cheap.
My favorite playthrough, however, was my Ricard playthrough. Just spent the entire game parrying people and dealing insane damage. Awesome!
For bonus troll points, when you get invaded, just morph into a piece of scenery and hide where noone finds ya. Invaders are on a timer and if they can't find you in time, they will be banished. It's hilarious!

I beat Sif in two tries and somehow got really damned lucky and just baaaaarely beat the Four Kings on my first try. All I'll say is "So glad the shield I normally use (Crest Shield) has good magic resist.", because holy gak did that make it possible at all to survive on my first try, lol. 90% magic block... it saved my life that fight, as I was sometimes caught off guard by the magic attack's homing on me.

So I may or may not have lost a couple of countries from the x-com project for my questionable priorities, but after the last mission I don't think the remaining members can refute my decision to manufacture and field a team of six S.H.I.V.s  While them taking damage and going down for repair is annoying, starting in the appropriate country makes them cheap enough to just make a few more. About to get them lasers too!
I realize I'll have to bring one or two humans along *sometimes* but I'm finding I quite enjoy driving a team of little mini-tanks around. Would be cool if you could name them (like you can your human soldiers....) but oh well. Being able to largely ignore the local terrain and keep them close to hunt in packs means they usually win out even without having the best stats individually. We'll see if they keep being so useful as the enemy techs up. Can't wait to get a squad of plasma hoverSHIVS lol.

Got bored so started playing 'Overlord' again. It's a rather fun game. It's exactly what you think in that it's evil pikmin with a little dark humor and regular humor. They also make fun of elves quite a bit which i kind of enjoy.

I haven't actually beaten stray demon, i was pretty weak at the time, i think i had only just beaten Quelaag and the magic blast would just one-shot me every time. However seeing as he's an optional fight i just gave up after a couple of goes.
Most Dark Souls experts and players seem to use the Crest shield, i imagine because it's one of the best. I just can't bring myself to throw away my trusty Spider Shield, it was the first shield i found with 100% block and light enough to carry, stuck with it ever since.
I thoroughly recommend 2 BTW, i actually enjoy it more, the camera is WAAAYYYY better for starters, Seath the Scaleless was almost unplayable for me. The only thing i really miss is the labyrinthine level design

Xbox 360 controller should work fine...
Also, Lost Izalith is the worst part of Dark Souls, the creators even said so. They essentially ran out of production time and that's the area that got fethed.

I don't have one that can link to my computer. I have one of these: I use the x360ce script to emulate having a 360 controller. However, many people who have 360 controllers are themselves having problems with DS2 that they didn't have in DS1.

KV-1 is one of the most effective tanks I've ever had.
Recently got the M12, Cromwell, T32 and AT 8. They all kinda suck.

Last tank I had gotten was the T-34, IIRC. Which is also an effective tank. But then I stopped playing and meh fuggit.

How were you using the T-28? It's actually an extremely effective tank if you know how to use it; fully upgraded and with the 57mm gun, and a 100% crew helps, too. Its armour is made of rice paper, but you shouldn't really be getting shot, instead you should be sitting back playing peek-a-boo from a behind a rock, and taking accurate, rapid-fire, well-penetrating shots from a distance. The T-28 is a medium tank in vehicle class only, and should be treated more like a TD; no front-line duty, no scouting ahead, no trying to brawl or 1v1 anything. Your speed should be used to move from cover to cover, not to try and chase anything down, scout, or outflank.
After getting to grips with it, I was quite annoyed that I wasted so much of my playtime in it early on, not knowing how to use it and thinking it was crap, but it's actually incredibly capable.
The M3 Lee, on the other hand... there's a truly horrible vehicle to use. The T-28 is saved mainly by the fact that it's zippy and has access to some very good guns for its tier, but the Lee is just a paper bag on tracks with a limited-arc pop-gun (which is still miles better than the--equally horrible--D.W. 2's gun, which might as well just be the gunner making a gun-shape with his hands, pointing them at a tank, and shouting "Pew! Pew! Pew!").

Just finished 'Overlord'. It's a fun little game. Only died a few times if i recall correctly and it was only against an auto-kill creature i got stuck against.
Not sure if i should try the following 'Overlord' games or go for some 'wargame' or perhaps even some 'company of heroes 2' just because why not.

It's a good time to wade in on WoT. There's a promotion going where you could earn yourself up to 4 premium vehicles started today. I'm hoping to at least get the STUG!
So yes, I'm playing WoT when I can get online, and Hostile Waters when I can't.

I had all the moduels researched and avavibal, and the crew where around 95-100% training. I used it much like I used my beloved Hetzer, I hung back and pelted anything that moved with a large dose of AP rounds to the face. But I have had horrid luck with matchmaking and normally ended up as the absolut underdog in a good number of the matches. In the matches I played with/ against similar tier tanks I bagged aroud 1 to 4 kills each round. But I became very frustatred with it lack of decent armour when you had to deal with some pesky speedy foe that sniffed you out and came close.
I never tried the M3 lee but I can see what you mean, if it plays anything like the Grant the pain must have been immense. But then again the Grant actualy have a good gun and can take a few hits before becomming a burnt out wreck

At first the M3 Lee seems like the worst tank ever. It's a medium without a turret but near the end I actually had many great games with it and it become one of my top performers. it just takes some getting use to.
