Have I scarred you that much Rionaa-chan? :(



Pretty smart bird too, mine would just open the cage door and walk out, so now we just leave him roaming on his own room (kind of a storage room near kitchen, it's nearly fully just windows so he gets tons of light and gets to follow a day/night schedule and also has a good area to fly around).
And pretty good at identifying people as well, he absolute abhors my youngest sister.

Here's me with my Cockatiel:

BTW, it seems like there is gonna be a 4-pack of Lethal League if their Humble Widget on their site is anything to go off of, with a copy costing 10 bucks a pop. If 3 other people wanna get the game tomorrow, shoot me a PM and we can all get it and play.

Is the Flash Bundle worth it? Is the AVGN game any good? Might want to jump on this bundle and possibly the Groupees one just for Betrayer. If I could only go with one bundle which do you guys think would be the one to go for considering I don't have any games from either?

Speaking of the crew beta, here's the extra keys I got sent. (FYI they're uplay keys so be wary)

The Groupees one is really good.
The Flash bundle is more "lolnostalgia" than anything, really.

There are more interesting games in groupees bundle imo.

The groupees in my eyes is the better deal for 5 bucks.
AVGN to me is really only for the fans and perhaps people who really REALLY like neslike platformers with a bit of high difficulty (Though play with infinite lives makes it bearable).

Better overall bundle is the Groupees bundle. FWIW, the AVGN game is pretty fun, especially if you dig his videos, but its only a couple hours along and really has no replay value.

Tiny Barbarian DX is a pretty good game, I haven't played Full Bore but I heard it's decent as well. AVGN game is meh, IMO.

Thanks for the fast answers everyone! Gonna pick up the Groupees bundle and probably just the 1$ tier for Humble Flash. Betrayer and Consortium just look really good, and the impressions of Betrayer I've seen in here seemed to mostly be positive.

Oh Damn, you should have PM'd me.

Do you have a sound card with a decent amp? Or a standalone amp? Those phones have a high level of impedance.

The audio quality on those are excellent, some of the best I've heard. Unfortunately they are uncomfortable, YMMV on that aspect of course.

While i'm having mostly a good time with ACIV, it also feels the most disconnected of all of the AC games i've played. It's the first time in the series where i'm really feel the effects of the game having been built by a bunch of different teams.

Gone are the days of a great main character with a plot that was interesting and a cohesive experience overall. I was just remembering how epic ACII felt, how you felt like you were going through it all with Ezio and slowly getting better at this assassin's stuff from one sequence to the next. It was a lean experience, yet it took you to at least 4 different cities, none of them feeling at all like the last.

Edward? fine, sure, man is already a ruffian since he's been a pirate for some time. But the guy is also immediately a fucking assassin, too. No growth on that end whatsoever, dude is air assassinating fools pretty much from the get go, syncing viewpoints for no apparent reason, establishing a hideout for the first time (dude's been out in the Caribbean for a long ass time and it's only now that he's doing this? why?).

As an example, I just did what is essentially a tutorial mission, where the game taught me how to take down a fort using my ship. Cool stuff, sure, if i hadn't already done it twice on my own and failed to take out a massive fort on my 3rd try. It felt like a waste of time, really.

I guess they were put between a rock and a hard place as far as how to handle the beginning of their games after everyone complained about ACIII's long intro. But the thing was that ACIII's intro was the best thing about that game. You played a genuinely interesting character, the game ratcheted up the introduction of the mechanics at a steady pace, and it ends on a great note, making you want to play the remaining 2/3s of that game even though you play as boring immature turd burger assassin man.

ACIV? I just reached sequence 5 and i had no idea that i had completely 4 other sequences. Edward is growing, sure, but the whole thing seems so forced. It's like there's this great pirate game that got halfway through development and then someone at ubisoft was like, guys what the fuck are you doing how come he isn't killing people because he wants to save an alien race or some shit? just put some stealth and eavesdropping missions in there and make him wear a hoodie.

Truthfully, if it wasn't for the sea stuff being enjoyable I'm pretty sure i'd start considering putting the game down. I haven't followed Unity/Rouge at all but if they don't do something significant in the next iteration(s) then i think i'm done.

that looks interesting, I must say, I am somewhat biased as I like underwater locations, good that I ignore it for earlyaccessneess alone... but maybe I'll wishlist it, just in case it gets finished and has singleplay.

[quote="Ozium, post: 127138193"]It's like PS Home but for Steam.
