That makes sense. I doubt I'll ever actually use fast travel (I haven't a single time so far). Sailing is too much fun to skip with fast travel, plus I get to listen to sea shanties, and sea shanties rule. I kind of want to become a sailor now just so that I can sing sea shanties.

I took from me 57 hours according to raptr (software that logs your game running times addition to many other functions) to get 100% in AC4, and I wasn't very focus oriented in way that I played that game. You play a lot faster than I do. I'm at 27% completion after 20 hours played. At that rate, it will take me a little under 80 hours to 100% the game.

AC4 is the only game in the series I haven't played yet and it also sounds entertaining, But is it like the other AC games where the activities are always fun but ultimately the same, in other words you can only liberate so many areas or deliver so many messages? I just find the repetition gets boring so you always move onto the main quest eventually. Well, there's synchronizing view points, which you'll remember from every AssCreed game ever, I'm assuming (I've only actually played AssCreed 2 before this). There's a metric ****ton of collectibles to find like treasure chests, animus fragments, messages in a bottle, treasure maps, Mayan idols, and shanty song sheets. You're definitely going to want to collect shanty song sheets since your crew will sing the sea shanties you've collected while you sail. There are assassination contracts, naval battles where you can capture or sink ships, you can hunt all sorts of animals and skin them, you can capture forts, I'm assuming at some point I'll get to dive underwater for treasure, since there's a diving bell upgrade I haven't been able to unlock yet. There's just a lot of stuff to do both on foot and while sailing.

I approve, Tyron Smith is an elite level tackle. Tackles of his level of talent are very hard to find.

Pirate Creed 4 definitely doesn't have a lack of content. The amount of side activities to engage in is staggering. I'm not sure it would be possible to 100% this game in under 100 hours. The good news is that the majority of these activities are quite fun. The amount of stuff to do in this game has to be right up there with anything Rockstar or Bethesda has put out.

It has come to my attention that I may have misinterpreted "cool". Let me try again:

I'm still convinced this game will never see the light of day. We've been getting the "too early to say more, but we are working on it" spiel for a couple years now. As far as I'm concerned, this is ware of the vapor variety. I would very much like to be wrong.

I'm hoping for 40 bombs and about a billion doubles off the monster. The Sawx definitely improved their lineup quite a bit with all the moves they made, but they completely gutted their rotation. They do have some good arms in the farm system, but how many of them, if any, will be ready to play in the majors in 2015? We'll get to see some of them during the rest of this year since they will have to get the call up, ready or not. Somebody has to pitch for the Sawx this year and they traded away almost all their starters. As for Lester coming back next season, I don't see it happening. I'd be happy if I was wrong, though.

Damn, that's highway robbery for David Price. To steal some Simmons terminology, they traded a dollar for a quarter and a bunch of nickles. At least the Sawx got a power hitting outfielder for their ace. Cespedes, by all rights, should hit an ungodly amount of doubles off the Green Monster, plus he's got a cannon for an arm. On the other hand... /looks at current Sawx rotation //cries

That's why I sleep on memory foam... ... Memory foam... ... Memory... ****, they know my thoughts, they know everything!

More Pirate Creed 4. Did some out of Animus stuff and it's basically exactly the same thing and snooping around the Sarif Industries building in DX:HR. The audio logs and images and stuff you get are okay, but this whole present day stuff doesn't add anything to the game, in my opinion. If anything, it takes away from it.

It's definitely interesting. "You've Been Chosen" better not actually wind up being the title of the game, though, because that is corny as ****.

Are you sure?

More Pirate Creed 4. I'm very slowly progressing through the story as I'm spending more time finding all the chests, idols, treasure maps, messages in bottles, and such, than I am doing the main story. I'll say this about Ubisoft, they make some of the loveliest water in all of gaming. So far, this one is barely an AssCreed game at all. I mean, the parkour and insultingly easy combat are all still there, but the story is a lot more coherent since the whole Templar/Assassin BS has barely been touched upon. Maybe that changes later on, I hope it doesn't. I'd love to see Ubi make another Piratey game like this, but go full on Piratey and just drop any pretense that it's an AssCreed game at all.

I imagine there will be puzzles of one sort or another.

Having fun with Pirate Creed 4. I'm playing the game as much like Thief as the game will allow. I try to avoid combat whenever possible and prefer to go barehanded to avoid killing. Ideally, nobody ever sees me and combat never comes into play, though some missions will have to involve bloodshed, obviously. Havana is a pretty lovely place to play sneaky sneaky in.

A 404 Not Found Error? I dunno, I never thought they were all that special. I'm more partial to Google Chrome's Aw, Snap! Something Went Wrong Error.

Damn. I know latitude isn't the only determining factor for an area's climate, but that has to be very unusually hot for a country as far north as Finland.

No. I will accept no substitutes. Your Hanar bribe will not work on me.

I played me a bit of FlatOut 2. Hot dang dem Bugbear folks know how to make a smash em up racing game. It's so ridiculously fun.

You're just trying to get Brucie to get punched by a townie, aren't you?

I certainly don't expect this to wind up being Road Warrior good. But heck, if this winds up being Beyond Thunderdome good I'll happily watch the bejesus out of it.

I wonder if Charlize Theron went method and actually had her arm amputated for the movie? Now that would be commitment to your role.
