  1. http://imgur.com/gallery/jSHqjgi Ovechkin is hilarious.
  2. I played for 6 hours straight yesterday, so Assassin's Creed 3 definitely does something right. I only played Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed 2 before this (I skipped those other games, even though I own one of them on Steam) so for me Assassin's Creed feels fresh. I'm not assassined out. I reached sequence 6, and the game is now almost overwhelming me with the amount of things to do. I'm climbing churches, exploring the frontier, hunting wildlife, helping locals, gathering trophies, upgrading my home and ship, farming things, crafting things, trading things, running through forests on treetops, fighting soldiers, liberating forts, gathering treasure maps, solving riddles in the underground. I'm basically doing everything, except assassinating. I'm not sure I understand what the complaints are about lack of polish. It feels extremely slick to me, the render engine throws up some absolutely stunning vistas (I'm running everything on max except shadows.. on an old Radeon 5870!), the gameplay is smooth and satisfying (most of the time), the free-running is improved since Assassin's Creed 2. I've only had two major bugs so far (liberating a fort and the fort commander spawned under the map and a bear refused to come and eat my expertly positioned carcass), but nothing a reload didn't fix. Sure, the AI isn't always clever, but it's no worse than the current general level of AI in games (btw, I still think the original Far Cry had some of the best AI..). My biggest complaints against this game (and the Assassin's Creed games in general) is the way they use the gameworld. They build these huge, interesting gameworlds.. but then they limit its uses to only act as a container of marked quests and as a travel timesink. Imagine if they had actually made exploring worthwhile, instead of just filling it up with collectables and questmarkers? If they had houses you could enter, npc's you could interact with, equipment you could find? It would definitely take it to another level. I guess that's only for GTA (except GTA 4) and the Gothic games.
  3. LIKE THE BUMBLEBEE KEEPS ON FLYING, THE LEAFS KEEP ON WINNING
  4. Still playing Assassin's Creed 3. This game is so strangely paced. "Here's five missions for you to earn the right to run. Now here's another five missions to learn how to turn left". I'm having fun, but I wish the game would just unshackle me and let me play the way I want. Oh, and I think this is the prettiest open world game I've ever played. Strange noone ever mentioned what a looker it is.
  5. I started playing Assassin's Creed 3, and I know you're supposed to hate it, but.. I've only played it for a couple of hours and so far I'm having a blast. It feels less pretentious than the other Assassin's Creeds (ILLUMINATI.. TEMPLARS.. IN YOUR FACE!) and the missions I've been given so far have been fun. It also runs extremely well on my system and the controls feels more streamlined now (only 23 buttons to keep track of instead of 56 thousand). Oh, and it's absolutely beautiful to look at too. I like. Edit: Uhm.. I absolutely not failed to put this in the right thread. It is the other 190 replies that are wrong!
  6. Watchdogs could be a pretty good reason to upgrade though.. You're right. I forgot about that. Good excuse to jump on the upgrade wagon again! I know.. isn't it sexy? I just love the sound of electricity whining as it's being devoured in the coils!
  7. LEAFS MADE PREY OUT OF PREDATORS LAST NIGHT, THE CUP IS BASICALLY OURS AGAIN!!
  8. Was interested in the new R9 290X, but I guess I have no reason to upgrade for a while then.
  9. I broke up with my girlfriend on Tuesday, so.. START PRODUCING SCANTILY CLAD WOMEN, PRONTO!!
  10. Well, I liked it. Also, Carrie is hot.
  11. OMFG ALL IS LOST WE WILL NEVER WIN A CUP AGAIN
  12. OMG WOW SO EDGY! HOW FAST WERE YOU?? DID YOU CLOSE IT IN UNDER 0.033 SECONDS?? PLEASE TELL US
  13. OTTAWA COULD NOT STAND UP TO THE MIGHTY LEAFS AND 46 YEARS OF CUP DROUGHT EITHER. ONE AFTER THE OTHER THEY FALL!!
  14. This is the reason they became my favourite developer. It was especially evident in Gothic and Gothic 2, where the world is absolutely chock full of incidental detail. There's no forgotten spaces in either one of those two games. Everything has a purpose and it's all so cleverly put together that the areas always feel a lot bigger than they actually are. I loved Fallout: New Vegas, but it was in the world building that I could definitely feel they were inexperienced. I blame Piranha Bytes for spoiling me.
  15. I think the way you react to peoples opinions you do not agree with is pretty entertaining. Please continue. (By the way, I said most skinny girls. Learn to use your eyes properly) This is hilarious! Learn to use my eyes? It's called reading. Now, go back to my original post and read the very first word. Btw, I'm honestly not sure if you're joking or not by now, the irony is too much. I think the way you react to non-accusations (full defensive maneuvers!!) is pretty entertaining though. Please continue.
  16. Wrong? No, wrong would be, for example, someone claiming a skinny girl can't have big boobs. No offense, but I kind of stopped taking your knowledge of the human physique seriously after that thread.
  17. Most people can put on around 3,0-3,5 kg of muscle per year, the natural way (correct workout routines, excellent nutrition). Very few people get stretch marks from that. The more common reason why men get stretch marks from bodybuilding is a bit more sinister, unfortunately.
  18. THE INEVITABILITY CONTINUES AS PHILLY WAS THE NEXT IN LINE TO BITE THE DUST. THE DUST OF 46 YEARS OF LEAFS TEARS DRYING UP!!
  19. Kind of creepy: http://gizmodo.com/any-animal-that-touches-this-lethal-lake-turns-to-stone-1436606506
  20. TONITE WE BEGIN OUR EPIC JOURNEY TO THE CUP BY CRUSHING MONTREAL UNDER 46 YEARS OF CUP FRUSTRATION!!
  21. This thread makes me laugh until I cry, every single time. Easily my favourite thread on these boards.
  22. I don't need or want a controller. If someone eventually comes up with a better input device than the mouse (and keyboard), then I'll relearn everything. But not until then.
  23. you mean aim a rifle and pull the trigger? my wife is a better shot than me by miles. she would be 10x the soldier i would be, and i'm an adult male who is over 6 feet tall. So what we've learned from this is.. entrerix is a wimp. ..and we need pics of his wife. Pronto.
  24. **** the haters. Don't give up, let your limitless talents prosper!
