I'm looking forward to Christmas this year.  

[Nelowulf]

So what happened?  

[Darkened Angel]

I got Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Bioshock Infinite, Saints Row 4, and The Sims 3: Into the Future.

I've mostly been playing AC4, and just started looking at Bioshock Infinite a bit ago.

A utopian paradise that quickly turns into Hell, in a Bioshock game. Who didn't see that coming?  

[Nelowulf]

I recall Bioshock 1 and 2 were based off Ayn Rand's books, but i've not played 3 to see if they kept that theme or not. I wouldn't guess it considering you're no longer in the same place...  

[Darkened Angel]

Yeah, it's a flying city and it takes places a few decades before Bioshock, and it's themed after the founding fathers, combining extreme patriotism with a cult.  

[Nelowulf]

I always get tempted by the steam sales, and then i just realize it's not like a Bethesda game where replay is quite possible.  

[Darkened Angel]

I played a bit of AC4 earlier. I'm pretty sure I pissed off PETA with hunting killer whales after I took a few of the forts.

Then again, if they wanna complain, they can take it up with a broadside.  

[Nelowulf]

kill 2 whales, make one holster. XD  

[Darkened Angel]

I got a few of the elite upgrades. The underwater stuff sucks because it severely limits what you can do.

On the plus side though, I'm able to gank a man o' war in the hardest zones relatively easily, and I'm still not at maximum power.

I like the elite swivel upgrade. 5 weakspots appear after a broadside, and just hold down Y for rapid-fire hits, then follow up with another broadside, and repeat until whatever it is gets disabled.  

[Nelowulf]

I suppose I'll find out when it gets uber cheap GOTY edition on steam. ^_^  

[Darkened Angel]

The Brothers in Arms legendary ship battle is a pain in the a**.

When you sink one of them, the other one goes Rambo, and usually snags you in an attack pattern you can't get away from, which means you're screwed.

It's good to know that no matter how long I'm away, DA and Nelo are always still here haha. How's it going folks?  

[Darkened Angel]

I've been having to deal with sleep issues lately.  

[Nelowulf]

And I work weird shifts at night. so i got that going for me.

Also, free weekend for Saints row 4 was last week... i didn't think I could complete 96% of it that fast though.  

[Darkened Angel]

Yeah, I've played it for a few days, but I was taking my time doing the store hackings and stuff, and even then, I'm maybe 1/3 through the whole campaign already.
