Thanks I dont know anything about computer games anymore Im gonna look into it
The destroyed archstone leads to a land of giants. And Dark Souls games have a bunch of stuff with Giants. New Londo being a veritable city of giants, etc.
Fan theory is that they built Dark Souls from that unexplored idea for a land of giants.
**Demo’s Souls also has unused models on the disc for snake men, tiger or maybe lion men.? Whatever those things were in Dark Souls 2 in the area with the scorpion lady. The designs are different. But the ideas were there on the disc, with Demon’s Souls.

omg if Evanenvy gets addicted to EU4 I will squeal
Ah, thanks for that info! That makes a lot of sense. A Demon’s Souls style level would work well as a vertical slice. They may not have even settled on the interconnected world at the time they were developing it.
Based on the steam forums the EU IV demo seems to appear and disappear almost at random. There are rumors that it only appears during sales, so it might be worth keeping that in mind. Others say that if you refresh the page enough times or put it into then out of your cart it may reappear, although neither worked for me.
More importantly is the fact that the demo is bad. It doesn’t really teach you how to play, is buggy as hell and is based off the original version of the game which has been altered several times by now.

I got urge to play Red Alert 2 and build up a bunch of infantry and turrets and walls. I was disappointed when I remembered that you can only build near your base in this game 
Anyway in light of that disappointment I went looking around and I found this writeup that rules https://www.pcgamer.com/the-forgotten-joys-of-turtling-in-strategy-games/

reminds me when I was younger and the first Red Alert was the only strategy game I had ever played. in skirmish matches I used to destroy the enemy base but kept their last barracks alive and walled it off so I could construct buildings in peace on the rest of the map.

Sen’s Fortress and Anor Londo were both no problem (except the big demon dudes downstairs in Sen’s). It’s every area since that’s given me trouble. One day I’ll finally beat that giant golem on that invisible bridge and start making progress again.
Turns out Devil May Cry 2 remains…a bad game!!
I should really start Racing Lagoon already.

one of my favorite turtling memories was playing starcraft 1 big game hunters with a buddy. when one of us would start losing we’d be like “dude, come over here” and we’d split minerals on one base. and of course we’d get rolled because other duos would have like 7. it was good times, it rarely got any better

Continuing Rudie just replaying stuff FULL THROTTLE!! Yeaahhhhhhhh.
The game is still good. There was only one sort of bullshity pixel hunting bit (hose). 90% of the puzzles still have refreshingly good solutions especially coming off Grim Fandango and Thimbleweed.
It is short enough I might run through it again for the developer commentary.

My 7 year-old nephew asked me if I could play Fortnite with him during breakfast today, so I installed it and played a few practice rounds earlier tonight. It kind of sucks ass!
