Funny enough I prefer nightvale directionless...they've had a plot going on for the last few episodes and I cannot muster interest. Or I should say I don't mind the background sort of plot things like the mayoral election, but the main thread going on lately is pretty bleh.

fedoras are the unofficial symbol of MRAs

at least go for the less creepy move of marrying bill hader's impression of vincent price

haha

If the trend continues Justin McElroy could become the far cry 2 of games journalists.

I like to keep my complaining to 90 seconds or so myself

It was only a matter time before Tim Allen's persona started bleeding through his performance as buzz lightyear

Yea should be interesting, especially since I played IV before this one.

I mean the actual playing is fun enough, the sheer volume of troops sure makes it hard to hide when you need to

"This isnt the way to do this chef, you must patient, excuse me I must go kill 20 troops for looking at me funny"

"I have studied philosophy, learned patience... HEY RANDOM BRIT WHERE IS CHARLES LEE?!"

Played a few hours of AC3...everytime connor makes a choice I like him less.

Yea the concept of the character is fun, but the story is pretty lame even compared to other asscreeds

It was a vita game. It's...ok. It's way shorter but super linear. No outside plot really, but it is presented as an abstergo product like assassin's creed IV is, the whole video game meta thing. The character could have been interesting in a bigger/better written game. The combat has a few more bells and whistles with the chain kill, double counter, and occasionally context sensitive counter kill animations. There's a persona system thing where you can dress up as a slave, a high class lady, or assassin. Each outfit is seen differently by guards and npcs and has different advantages/disadvantages. In theory it's cool because you can Hitman it up and go in to a high society party and then shoot your target discretely with a crazy james bond-esque parasol that launches poison darts! In reality they basically just tell you which outfit to wear when a mission needs it. Character feels a little bit like if Batman were a mixed race high class woman from 1700s new orleans. I wouldn't pay full price at all, if it's on sale it could be worth a look. It crosses over with AC3 briefly towards the end but plot wise it's completely stand alone. On side content, it's barebones. There's something about seducing men as a lady to get gems? I never did it but it showed up on the map. A small handful of assassination missions, a smaller version of kenway's fleet for making money. There's a lot of upgrade weapons but you can make it through the game without ever getting any of them, wasn't enough of a big deal to me to do the side stuff to afford them. A small amount of collectables that I didn't bother with either. Most of them aren't all that in your face like in other asscreed games. There's shop buying from brotherhood in there but you really don't need to do it at all, no reason to other than a convenient weapons shop if you happen to be near it.

she's listed in the about section on the site now...this was actually addressed early in this thread even!

Burned through Liberation...had some neat ideas that it really failed to execute on. Liked the chain kill thing though, straight out of Splinter Cell: Conviction. Actually encouraged me to use something other than the wrist blades.

Ignore it unless it's something incredibly heinous. Maaaaaaybe engage them on it, depending on the situation. (and the who the friends are)

Tempted to pick this up since it's like 5 bucks right now, or Liberation. Really enjoyed IV a lot which I burned through this week as well.

It's left a significant hole in my weekly podcast rotation, and my heart.

I tend to go early morning so seating is never an issue. I purposely avoid a crowded theater when I can help it

The movie is more or less a Best of, I still enjoyed it. Agree on the second book though, it both got way too serious and focused on one thing. Still good moments, but not as fun. I did enjoy the

ALL HAIL DANCING BLOB

It felt closer to that when it was weekly, I don't find it as entertaining in it's monthly form

Yea I stumbled upon that when writing a paper for a class, I could not believe it and kept refering back to it throughout the paper. It's such a lazy made up thing too.
