Am I?
Yeah. I've heard from a number of people that the game is not worth playing through. Kind of annoying considering you don't really learn anything in Brotherhood, they left it all for Revelations I imagine. I think I will watch it on youtube.
Also, the PC version has the extra DLC for free. Leonardo's Disappearance it's called. Have you played that? Is it worth playing through?

The Da Vinci Disappearance is worth playing if nothing else because the final level is pretty fantastic and the platforming in general is fun. The story gets a little inconsistent but the characters and their dialogue are well done so it kind of makes up for it. For free? Definitely worth your time.
Yeah. Free on PC.
You know, I've not really took much notice of Uplay before the other night. I realised that the achievement points can actually be used for 'rewards'. So I was looking at what rewards I could exchange them for and noticed The Da Vinci Disappearance. It needed no points and stated that it was the biggest expansion yet for Brotherhood. So I clicked on it and went back in the game. The game alerted me to a new recovered memory.
I might as well play through it then.

Luckily additional hard drive space is pretty cheap as long as you aren't talking SSDs (which outside of housing the OS I don't usually use for game installs.)
Just as well really.
I wonder if next-gen there will be any games that need a triple layer (100GB) Blu-ray disc. lol
Maybe Kojima will find use for one.
I have a huge backlog too. As you know, I've only just finished Brotherhood (lol). I've downloaded Max Payne 3, but I'm not going to play through that next. I just wanted something new to look at. I know Max Payne 3 looks good on PC, so I just wanted to look at it and see how well it runs. I'll probably just have a little play for about 20 minutes and then go on to something else. Maybe Dark Souls.
I played about 30 minutes of Dark Souls before going on to Brotherhood. I think that is the game I should play next.

Thanks Lissar. If I don't make it out alive, remember me ;.;
Good luck Shan!
Hopefully you do make it out alive and speak to us again!
I'm making a concerted effort to get through as many games as I can before the next Steam sale. If I don't it will only get bigger. :/

Thanks. I'm feeling significantly better about it now that I've got some nice sources.
Thanks
Its much better than remembering me in the red panda pyjamas (I spilled wine over the piggy ones halfway through the night, and there's a pretty stark difference in levels of sobriety).Exhibit A:

aww man, that was the complete opposite look of what I was aiming for.

On several occasions. Its becoming a thing, I'm ashamed to say :/
lol
I think it's just the angle of your face really. You look a bit like a mad scientist after bringing their part man, part reptile monstrosity to life.
I like the picture anyway.
Your friend seems at ease in that photo. I guess that is usually the moment you pounce.

Lol. Why?
shanshan310

No idea. Do you remember why you did drunk things?
Drink doesn't really affect my behaviour that much. I'm quite a happy drunk though, I must say.
I guess it can have an influence on your behaviour, but I find it doesn't really make you do things, it just frees you from inhibition. You know what you're doing, you just don't care so much about what people think, or the consequences of your actions.
Having said that, it does seem to send my one friend crazy. I don't know what the hell is going on in his head sometimes. lol
shanshan310

Yeah, that has proven true enough. I guess deep down inside somewhere there is an incredibly violent Shanshan :s Although I'm pretty sure most things I do are for "the lolz".
Yeah, I have a friend like that too. He really goes off the rails in a kind of terrifying way.

Accidents happen! Or maybe he's reprehensible and you want to prevent him from reproducing? Your secret is safe with the internet.
I got kicked in the balls by a gorgeous co-worker when I wouldn't let her kiss me. She was swinging from my back at the time. Story is better without context.
Edit:
Oh:
"Seemed like a good idea at the time."

Most of the times yeah.
But appearantly he doesn't really mind that much that you kick him in the balls considering it happens often and he doesn't stop it.
Maybe he has a ballbusting fetish

hahahaha. I'll tell him that.
Yeah... lol
I hope it's the latter personally.
My friend just becomes embarrassing. He got really drunk once and started jumping up and down in his apartment. He was in one of the top apartments so the person underneath him must have wondered what the fuck was going on. lol
He was jumping up and stamping down really hard. Fucking insane!
shanshan310

Man that sounds embarrassing to be around. haha.
I think I told you about the one time when he completely lost his memory right?
.la1n
Member
ALWAYS my excuse. Either that or "I didn't know I couldn't do that." Still, I have reached a point in my life where I rarely drink anymore and if I do I don't do anything crazy like I used to. As for bad drunk stories I only had one friend to do that and it was always random whether that particular day / night what he had to drink would be enough to get black out nuts. Good news is he did finally realize the problem and has been alcohol free for some time now.

... yes.
I very rarely get drunk. I drink fairly regularly, but it's a glass or two of wine or beer.
I get hangovers so easily and they're terrible.
I think I did. It was when you posted in this thread about the embarrassing things you did the one night when you were really drunk.
I wasn't there that night. He was with a group of other friends. He completely disappeared, so one of my other friends went looking for him. He was outside crawling across the floor on all fours. So my other friend went outside to help him up and he said, "fuck off and leave me alone". My other friend just walked back in the pub and left him.
Anyway, a little bit later they all went outside to get him and he had gone. I heard about this the next day and went to his home to see him. He had completely forgot what had happened the night before. He didn't know what he was doing, how he got home, or where his wallet was. He had lost his wallet.
It was quite a horrible experience for him actually. Just not knowing what had happened to him for that period of time when he was on his own. He didn't know if his wallet was stolen or simply lost. Anything could have happened.

Aaah right I do remember that one.
I feel kind of bad but I'm not really a responsible drinker. Occasions are fun with or without the booze, but I enjoy drinking. I did have one night a few weeks ago where the entire night is basically gone, which was a bit weird. There's this nice fuzzy glow over the memory though, so it seems like I had fun. It's probably not very safe or healthy though, but I only drink once every six weeks or sometimes less.

Yeah. You just have to try and pace yourself I guess. Don't just gulp down drink after drink, take your time.
I don't actually find getting really drunk fun. There is a certain point where you just feel happy and merry, and you're not so drunk that you're staggering around. lol
Obviously getting so drunk that you lose your memory really isn't a good state to be in.

I've been there more than once since entering the work force, believe it or not things will turn around. Sometimes it just takes longer than one would want.
I'm there with you.
I apply to jobs, but no bites. Can't get into grad school, when a ton of people I know are going (and don't even want to.)
At this point I'm clinging to art like a floatation device.

Good luck, RNH. I've got an interview today too. I'm gonna be posting pictures of my business casual clothes afterwards because I think I look really good, for once.

I think that went OK. Maybe. They said they'd get back to me about the second interview within the week. Here's hoping.
Also when I get back to Manchester I'll post a pic of my newly short hair for you all to laugh at >_>

Personally I HATE that memory fuzziness. Hate not knowing what happened the night before. After a couple bad events while blacked out I've had to cut out drinking for the most part. Still enjoy a drink every now and then though.
Also my therapist told me that walking blackouts are a serious sign of liver failure. That if they're happening you've already damaged it a lot. So for my precious organs I don't do that anymore. Plus the whole mental health journey of being able to deal with yourself and life while sober. Bleh.

I have never blacked out or been ill (aside from hangover gut rot). I have tripped and summersaulted into a ditch, though.
