Now I'm confused. What Ars said about AC IV: What IGN said: I'm not highlighting journos for argument's sake, it's just I've never played one second of an Assassin's Creed game, but I want a fun day one title on PS4. Rumor is Target is having a Buy Two, Get One Free deal on next-gen games during launch week ... if so, Lego Marvel Superheroes, Killzone Shadowfall, and perhaps Black Flag. Ars made it sound like, if you've played AC games before, Black Flag is kinda bland and samey, with terrible AI. IGN made it sound like a big-ass oceanic sandbox game, that improved a lot over previous editions. -
My nerd queen Ms. Felicia Day held court in an episode of Supernatural. She was funny and cute, as always, but I can't for the life of me understand the appeal of the show as a whole. Maybe I should watch it more before commenting.

Ugh, I ... did not know that, over there. A more passively similar vein in this country, when I was a kid, except the momo scripture race reference was changed from "white and delightsome" to "light and delightsome." They hated D&D because it encouraged imagination, which of course leads to the awareness jesus actually doesn't want ten percent of your personal income, monthly, on time. Wait, what? Nothing, sorry, forget I mentioned it. Let's read, instead.

My brother sent me this for my b-day. Evidently contains some history of TSR and Gary Gygax and some insight into the "first-ever nerd subculture." I remember my religio-parental units outlawing D&D at the time, you know, cause it was a gateway to devil-worship. Seriously.

ManifestedISO replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Man, I love to see such a multi-lingual forum. It is amazing how well people outside the US and UK know English ... not just the bare bones, but slang and contractions and everything. Good job, world!

It was so weird just now, I saw Glenn from Walking Dead come down the stairs in a one-line speaking part on Big Bang Theory. He tells Leonard to "run fast, run far, dude!" in the flashback episode where Sheldon and Leonard first meet. The episode was from 2010 ... WD started in 2010 ... I don't know, it was fun to see an established actor get their start. Edit: I'm not watching Season 4 yet, so if he's dead already, don't tell me.

ManifestedISO replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Love it. Finally, there's a proper handle for this endeavor. Can't wait to discover if the pillars are figurative, or literal, soul-based, or all of the above.

Holy crap, Project Eternity has a name!

Everyone is coming from where I come from, today. Low-light blues and creeping what-if's. Exercise helps trick my limbs into thinking they have a purpose, for the time being, usually the mind follows. I just have to remember to trick my brain, too. I'm happy. I'm so happy. These cookies are amazing. Actually the thing that works best, is having something to look forward to, for me. Just the anticipation of next month's Playstation launch, for example, might keep me going heads-up into the winter. There ain't no Mrs. Manifested, so a brother's got to manage.

Yeesh, I can't imagine someone making their living as a developer being so short and testy with another dev. And on Super Nintendo, I don't remember a lot of strategic role-playing. I suppose I imagined myself in the role of Diddy Kong, and it required some strategy to swim past those nasty purple biter fish things ...

Well, I should say game-saves aren't like Skyrim where you can save anywhere, anytime. You have to get to a store, usually, sell the bollocks items or buy ammo, then it'll auto-save your progress. Other than that, it's a great game to play for a bit, here and there when you feel like it. And yeah, Blood Dragon is a riot.

I like the stealth portion of Far Cry 3. Sniper rifle is my favorite weapon, hiding in the jungle, red-misting heavily-armored pirate scum. I use it for most human encounters (and the bow), but occasionally rampaging tigers and wild dogs and leopards get close enough without warning, that they need a more face-to-face approach. Same with sharks. It is a beautiful setting on PC, too.

You're good, they're PCI-E connectors for the graphics card ... the listing I'm looking at for the TX-750 says it comes with four 6+2 PCI-E connectors, where you plug in just the six and leave out the two, for 6-pin connections.

Mine evaporated last week. Thankfully I have no dependents, and I'm always healthy. Pretty sure it's Big Healthcare that put my existing policy on the block, naturally reacting to government intervention like all private monopolies would. It's not the ACA out for my wallet, it's the healthcare market that wants no part of profit-drains like pre-existing conditions. Big business fighting big government--what a titanic waste of time.

I sold a couple of light-weight aluminum motorcycle wheels to a buyer in Oz, and shipping via USPS was $250! And that was much cheaper than the big fly-away carriers.
