The little grey men haunted my late childhood all the way into my mid teens. I think there were nights I saw them (not really, but that's how real the fear was). For a normal person, I had a freakishly real terror of the images of these things. Oh, and yes, I read this and others, and the 90's were full of TV shows…

They do, sometimes, but AC4 was a documented disaster on the PC, and that's with latest patch and the latest NVIDIA drivers. The win+L (or ALT-CTRL-DEL) workaround actually did miracles with the 30fps drops, but it's sad that it had to come to "workarounds" to fix Ubisoft's unwillingness to competently deploy a game…

I'm not quite sure I understand - and by all means understand that I am not even minimally educated on the matter of cultural differences there, simply as a resident, without blinders on (I'm not Italian) I can tell you that if you lived there for more a few years and absorbed a sense of what's normal in the South and…

Funny thing is, I sort of agree with Italy splitting. I lived near Naples (Capua, to be precise) and my father lived in Rimini, and venturing between those two areas, it was shocking how different everything was. I mean for a relatively modest sized country, it's astounding how culturally divided right at the middle…

I'd get on my knees for that.

OK, I'm done for the day. First time ever that I've been on this site, and I just spent the better of two hours reading nearly every story up to this point. What is wrong down there with your my dear American cousins? Seriously? The land of the free?! I mean up here in Canada we don't have a spotless track record…

Let's start a club! I haven't spoken with her either - this was years ago... I really am a good friend and I don't have many, but the way she acted and then to see her FB page was such a turn-off. She was lucky I didn't have a FB account because I would have shown my verbal kittyclaws and would have dissected her…

I don't care how most people spin this, Facebook is BS, period. To sum it all up, my ex tagged along on a family weekend trip to Toronto I had with my sister (whom I haven't seen in 2 years up to that point) and my mom. She (the ex) was welcome to join in but we were very clear that we'd be walking everywhere, and…

Sounds like Assassin's Creed vs AC2. The sequel was superior in every way. I replayed 1 just for kicks sometime after Brotherhood, and yes, I had the distinct impression that 1 was especially like a proof of concept release. Polished, and finished, but definitely an experiment of sorts. I'm certain WD2 will…

Haha, damn it I want to eat my own words and spit on my own dick hard attitude sometimes. After seeing the new trailer, I want to pre-order that game. Never a rule without an exception I guess!

I completely see the value in supporting devs/teams through kickstarter efforts, but that's why I called it a different animal relative to, and I'm just throwing this out there, Ubisoft raking in pre-order cash. Let's forego the basics since we both get that, but suffice to say it's very different in essence and in…

But your points enforce the anti-preorder attitude that has taken hold in gamers (I can't quantify that but I'll assume that many of those people who promise never to preorder a game actually stick with it). You say that buying a final product isn't much of a guarantee, but if that's the case (and it is) then by…

I certainly don't have the same experiences as you, but I do love playing good games, and the filth that has been dumped on those of us who believed in preordering games, even from very reputable teams, has clearly demonstrated that pre-release financial support on the parts of consumers doesn't equate to the quality…

No! I have been on a verbal rampage lately asking gamers to stop pre-ordering games! Why must you and your sort have the need to pre-order? Are you worried that it will sell out and never ever to be found again for purchase? Really... Pre-ordering games has caused developers/publishers to focus on PR and…

I honestly want to know if there are any articles about this issue. I mean, if someone is actually taking the initiative to build a new computer, why would they opt to not but an SSD? I need to know or else I'm going on a hunger strike!

Are there still people who build new systems with conventional hard drives as their system drives? I mean that just makes no sense to me. I have been building my (and friends') computers for nearly a decade now, and truth be told I have never seen a more worthy upgrade than moving from HDD to SSD for the system…

It was a while back when I actually decided to never, ever pre-order a game moving forward, around that time I also decided never to jump on any sort of hype bandwagons. Since then, I've been grateful for this mature, intelligent disposition and in times like these, I feel thoroughly vindicated. I wish people would…

Maybe it's an age thing, but I detest these type of showmonkeys who think that risking others' lives and properties is cool or exciting. If you want to live on the edge, get a gun and play Russian roulette. That should get the adrenaline pumping without getting others involved.

No tony, please don't give up on good men, whatever their race. Look, I'm not saying that I don't sometimes want to accidentally push my partner off a bridge when cultural norms clash (and they do), but damn it find a good man and fuck the race issue. That's all I want to say.

Well, a few things, you would never be able to "whore" yourself to me because I am in a long-term relationship with the same man (8 years now) and cheating is not part of my lifestyle, nor are hookups. I don't like the term "rice-queen" I just used that nonsensically, but it is true, I appreciate the beauty of all…
