I prefer Rivet over the PS3 Media Server for streaming to my Xbox, but it's mainly only good for MP4s. AVIs are hit or miss — playback sometimes gets a little jittery. I only switch over to PS3MS if I need subtitle support.

Is it significantly more effective or easier than boiling? If not, I think I'll pass on hoarding silver, unless the apocalypse has anything to do with werewolves.

"They have this Disney vision of pirates, but they don't have the true feeling of the history that we can bring to the table with some freshness." But I bet every single pirate in it is still going to speak in that awful dialect that makes it sound like they're all from Bristol.

What about Santos L. Halper?

Although technically gold was a fiat currency, as its value is entirely arbitrary and based on the "shiny crap that kings can make jewelry out of" standard.

Hmm. Not sure how I feel about that. No wait, I am sure: I don't like it. They'll probably continue the modern narrative via in-game emails and the voice of the boss or an assistant or someone will jump in at various points giving instructions. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it turns out.

Where did you see that? I know the multiplayer was from the perspective of an Abstergo employee up until AC3, but I haven't heard about that being the case for the single player portion of 4.

I'm going to miss the assassin recruits. Hopefully whatever the "something cool [like that]" thing is, it involves hitting LB and causing a bloodthirsty pirate to drop off a roof onto an unsuspecting target.

AC1 went straight into AC2. It would make more sense for AC4 to then spawn several sequels. The pattern is AC1, AC2 [AC2a, AC2b, AC2c] AC3, AC4 [AC4a, AC4b, AC4c] AC5, AC6[...]

Since Blackbeard died in 1718 and Haytham was born in 1725, we can probably figure out what historical events the game will include. A good place to start would be the end of the War of Spanish Succession (1714ish), during which I think Edward could be serving on a ship captained by a British privateer, which would be…

A family tree tends to branch out. Who knows how many other people are descended from Kenway? Especially considering how the trailer depicts him as a womanizer.

Does Voldo count?

I still miss the dark meat McNuggets.

So Prey 2, basically? Now I just want to replay Star Wars: Bounty Hunter on the Gamecube. Probably doesn't hold up well.

Honestly, sounds like you stayed true to the show. -1 for not referring to it as "Ambrosia".

Obligatory.

Why in the world didn't you stop?

Flea markets are strange in general. What are you going to make with the rabbit?

Yeah, it'll probably pass quietly into obscurity. It's just annoying that the creative team had the chance to make a legitimate entry into the series and still decided to shoehorn in a bunch of silly alien classes.

Unfortunately, Fox is considering the game canon. http://www.warpzoned.com/2012/04/aliens-colonial-marines-is-officially-part-of-movie-canon-wii-u-version-is-not-a-port/
