I must be the only dude who never watched Avatar through. Tried watching Book 1 and that shit was so terrible, I quit halfway.

Book one was very trial and error till the backend of the season. Season 2 is the highlight of the series tbh.

This recent season of Korra was definitely up there, even if it was rough around the edges on villain "purpose". This season had the best fight/choreography of both series.

People act like Avatar: The Last Airbender is perfect, but the series takes a while to find its footing.

I didn't like Avatar all that much tbh. I watched a lot of it because of my little sister. Not a bad show, but it wasn't amazing to me either.

I finally tried Alpha Protocol, game is a prime example of diamond in the rough. So many good ideas, but you can only do so much when your publisher hates profits.

To be fair, after watching all the Ba Sing Se episodes in Book 2, it's kinda hard to believe some of the rougher content from earlier on is even part of the same show.

For anybody wanting to watch ATLA from the beginning, just remember to skip The Great Divide.

It was already better than the first Mass Effect.

It just had the misfortune of being released after the series had already started cleaning up its messy combat.
 
Finished Tomb Raider.

The first half or so is like the worst kind of hand holding through a Uncharted knock-off, the last third is so much better. Actually made me hopeful that the sequel will just be the last 3 hours or so stretched over an entire game cause honestly despite its flaws...dat bow.

edit: I started and never finished Alpha Protocol cause my save file fucked up.

Damn, maybe I should've stuck through it. I went extremely slow through the game, the beginning was boring as hell. By the time I got around half way done, GTA V came out and I needed money so I traded it in.

I got it again from ps plus though, but I don't wanna play it on my ps3 and would rather just wait and play it on my ps4 sometime later.

Rent it, it's literally the last few hours that feel like what the whole game should have been.


how come the dual pistol shit was literally introduced in the very last minute of the game? It was a cool homage to end on but it coulda been legit throughout the game. Hopefully in the sequel Croft comes out dual wielding right off the bat.

My ps4 doesn't come until september
and I'm broke as shit until then anyways
.

I'm getting bored of grinding for this damn khfm platinum. Might as well play one of my ps plus games on my ps3. I could just dl tomb raider, but I already have Dragons Dogma downloaded so I might as well try that out. What do you guys think about that game?
 
Looked at my steam purchase history and it says I got Alpha Protocol on Sept 2011 for $2.00

Edit: Dragon's Dogma was great, deserved more attention than it got, only downside was occasional framerate drops. Play Dragon's Dogma before Tomb Raider.

I had the opposite reaction to Tomb Raider, actually. I was more okay with the game in the beginning before I realized it wasn't really going anywhere.

the most fun part of the game for me was actually stealthing around a little bit with the bow, doing what little exploration the game allowed, then the second half of the game went NOPE, here's some arenas and shit, time to fight like 450 guys so make sure you hit all those red barrels

Uh... nah.

Dragon's Dogma is piff. Don't travel at night. Don't take any fucking escort quests. If you've ever wondered - no, you're not that real. An ogre will fuck you up like John Cena.

Yea, the stealth and guns ablazing wasn't balanced very well. Snatching a headshot with the bow on the straggler then quickly picking off guards before they call for back up was the best for me, think there were only two areas like that in the whole game.

Still had fun with rooms full of enemies sections, intentionally avoided the barrels, they made some areas too easy.

Tomb Raider, that game never ends.

After they blew up the temple I was like, wtf I have to go up another mountain??
 
AI in Alpha Protocol is straight busted.

You can never tell when someone will spot you or not. You can be in plain view and get way more than enough time to get a one hit kill and other times enemies somehow just know where you are.

With some polish AP coulda been special.
 
Queen Latifah downgraded her girlfriend, how you go from a trainer to a normal chick

and is R&B Divas: Atlanta a trashy show? articles will pop up now and then in my google news feed and one leads to the other (Queen Latifah) or vice versa. All black woman articles look the same i guess

the only thing i miss from my actual tv watching days is sheer stupidity ala Flavor of Love
 
Gets Ebola, flown back to high tech facilities and doctors. Use experimental drug made after years of research. Gets cured... says god did it

WTF

Wasn't that person a missionary? They're supposed to thank God for everything, that's part of the job.


And is Queen Latifah officially out, or just not saying yes or no?
 
Alpha Protocol is one of the better games of last gen that suffered from game play and design issues. But that choice system and the amount of potential it has. So damn good.


I got tipsy for the first time since I left. Last night I needed a damn drink. Had a female over and fucking fell asleep in her lap. She just held ya boy. Felt good. Still decompressing since the trial and needed it. Before she slid through I went and drank with another female friend, who was going through a tragic event. Needless to say it's been a fool for the last day.

Welcome back DY, person who I've never seen on these forums before.....
 
I hate my neighbors!

When I first moved into my apt building 8 years ago it was no pets. Apparently they started to allow cats 2 years ago no biggie. But last week I saw a stray cat hanging around our dumpster normally no big deal. Now multiple people have started feeding this cat by putting cat food outside their doors. This mother fucker now just sits outside meowing all day begging for food, fighting other cats and being overall just annoying as shit. Asshole tried to follow me into my door today. This would not have been an issue before, but now these cat people have fucked it up for everyone.
