    You realise you've set this up for Wals to take by storm?

    It's hovering at around £26 here in the UK. So with Christmas shopping to be done, I'm trying to avoid taking the plunge just yet... Temptation and all that still.

    To be fair, the main writer of Far Cry 3 keeps trying to say that. The problem being that none of the people who played the game saw that is the fault of game players not being deep or aware enough to see that. Take sharp note that the island is "Rook Island" which obviously points out the nature of being a game-piece on a board, or the target in a con. Seriously. The writer is all over the place when he tries explaining what he tried to do with Far Cry 3.

    So I've been hearing lots of mixed reviews over how well the pc port of AC4 handles. Any actual hands on experience from people of the boards?

    I just gave the Starfighter a-whirl. Took a few missions before picking up the knack for the controls. Definitely need to be careful of mouse movement and not scroll too far. This one is going to be murder against a ready-made team with voice-chat capabilities. Although I can imagine a group of friends doing the "Red 5, have a bandit on my tail!" could be quite damn fun. Definitely have to adjust your playstyles depending on the type of ship you're flying as well.

    When you're in the middle of a dream and a scantily clad pretty girl turns up, you tend to think "oh its sliding into one of those dreams", when it's followed by a dozen odd variations of Baron Harkonnen suddenly start spinning across the landscape you wake in a bit of a terror and confusion.

    Really looking forward to some good health at some point this week. Forced. Myself to try eating something, got about halfway through soome scrambled eggs and toast before the queasy hit. Even finding tea isn't tasting good, which is downright wrong. Headache seems to die down, the the moment I stand up and become vertical it flares back. Damn it, I missed most of the steam sales because of it.

    30+ hours in bed sweating trhis fever out. Think its finally broken,just got the headachw and odd sweat chills. So much for my weekend. Still, moms pain meds kick aspirins ass. Giess I'll see if sleep kicks in now and whAt the Monday start will bring.

    I can state quite categorically, I hate freaking fevers. Rthe combo of chills, shivvers and higjh temp. Thise draining aches in the joints and spreading out. The pounding ****ing spike between the eyes. Not a happy bunny going through a night like that. EsPecially whEn the mind is going buggy, take last night I got stuck witha star wars hud appearing in my head (with some odd steampunk twist). I really dislike fevers

    Was having trouble sleeping, so I decided to give up for a bit and read some John G Hemry rather then just toss and turn and stare at dark ceiling. Of course, then I ended up reading the whole book in a couple of hours before trying to sleep again. At least I got a semi-lazy lay in for a bit on this Saturday...

    Yeah, I've been ticking all of them bar the Operation stack, and so far I've ended running the two czerka fps (in SM and HM) about a dozen times, while I've gotten [HM 55] Hammer Station once. If I don't have Czerka ticked, it pretty much goes an hour or two without showing any group action...
  18. Raithe
    Hm, been running through some of the Elder Game stuff with my SI. Definitely noticed that groupfinder seems to be throwing Czerka flashpoints up a hellava lot more often then any of the others. I guess everyone's focusing on those of late? Still, how my new fashion runs..:

    New meds for mom, and they're altering some of her old ones. So I've got to learn the new setup for everything as I sort out the drugs for the next 7 days...

    It just gets expensive to pick up all those ability upgrades as you hit those levels. Especially 50.

    Giving Far Cry 2 a try after picking it up in the Steam sale. Hm, some interesting, but I'm beginning to get a bit tired of every mission making you spend 15 minutes travelling to get to an objective. It's being annoyingly grindy to get anywhere to do stuff. Sure, it looks fairly pretty.. but winding roads, tiresome off road, and the same 2 guys in a gunned up jeep turning up gets a bit samey.

    Decided to catch a copy of Far Cry 2 for some general shooty urges. Edit: How is Dark Souls on a mouse and keyboard setting?

    Well, with a bit of effort I could probably name them. Probably get the North/South divide right. But I wouldn't be certain of getting them in exactly the right geographical locations.. But it's one of those pieces of general knowledge that you rarely have to actually exercise. And it's not as if at any point in your schooling we get sat down and taught American states. Geography lessons will point out "This is the US, this is Canada, this is Mexico" etc.. but there's little point in breaking it down further for most people on this side of the pond... We get exposed to various cities in exported US tv shows, but how often do they make particular note of which States they happen to be in? I guess with the European countries it makes more sense to recognise them due to all of the global politics and news aspects of it all. Then again, I grew up with the news over Yugoslavia breaking up, and the Glasnost period and the USSR breaking apart. So it was more relevant to being "on my awareness" as it were.
