This is one of the deadliest areas in the game for most players because of the two silver knight archers. Both have Dragonslayer bows, which don't necessarily deal high damage but can knock the player quite a bit. Which is pretty dangerous when fighting on a ledge/arc boutant.
Getting to close range to one of the archers isn't hard at all, but at that point he pulls a sword and shield and you have to fight him on the ledge (Difficult because you can't circle around him) while the other archer is still shooting your ass.

Here the invader just comes to become a third, more intelligent archer.

controls are awesome grefter go back to call of duty lol

The key and mouse controls are shit.  But no one plays Dark Souls without a controller anyway.

These days you don't really have to use a keyboard and mouse if you don't want to. Fuckin USB ports on everything.

After the Sandy Hook shooting, with the possibility regulation looming overhead, gun nuts are buying up as much ammunition as they can.

Because this is precisely the trend we need to see after a school shooting.

And yet seen so consistently without fail.

Title says it all.  Jeez, man, that sounds awful, but it can't get much worse than...

On 8 December 2010, in the little known village of Pillu Kheda in Jind district, a 13-year-old girl was abducted by four boys, raped and left by the roadside. The girl somehow managed to crawl to a brick kiln for help, only to be raped again by two workers there. When she was finally let go in the evening, an autorickshaw driver offered to give her a lift, only to rape her again and dump her on the same road. Left for dead and crying for help, the young teen was picked up by a truck driver and his aide, who — not surprisingly by now — raped her repeatedly for nine days. The police eventually found the girl at a woman’s house in Panipat after her father had filed a missing complaint.

That... is some Congo shit right there.

Not sure if anybody else here reads Order of the Stick, but in case you do and you've stopped checking the site during its long, injury-induced hiatus, there's finally a new comic.

[AndrewRogue]

Which long, injury-induced hiatus do you refer to?

<_<
>_>

[Shale]

Pft. Before it was a long, illness-induced hiatus. Totally different!
